Maggie's litter was born yesterday but due to a stressful complicated labor and delivery I am holding off on taking deposits right away until we make 72 hours and are seen by the vet for tail docking. I want to make sure all 6 pups make it and are good to go. Thank you

Copper Creeks Whistlin Dixie

Dixie goes by many names here Dizzy The Driz Drizzle Frizz. Miss Dixie was born here out of Maggie's first litter. We hand picked her to stay as a hunting and confirmation show prospect and she has turned out to be a great great little hunting dog! She has great natural ability. When she's not working she is being a wild child bugging her favorite lab side kick Lindi or picking at her mom until she chases her around the yard! When's she's not blowing off steam outside she likes to play with her favorite toys or chew on a bone or bug her favorite little humans lounging in the evening. Dixie just turned 2 here at the end of July!

Happy 2nd birthday to Copper Creeks Whistlin Dixie "Dixie" or the Driz!!!

Degenerative Myelopathy is a inherited recessive neurological disease that typically shows in dogs around 8 years old. It causes gradual muscle wasting and incoordination in the hind legs and progresses in the next 6 to 12 months to where the dog looses the ability to walk.

There is no cure for this disease and over 6 to 24 month the dog will loose control of thier hind legs, bowl and bladder, sadly many end up being humanly euthanized because of quality of life.

This disease can spread forward up the body to the front legs as well causing full paralysis.

Degenerative Myelopathy is a recessive disease that can be tested for with a genetic DNA swab from places like Pawprint genetics or Embark.

Juvenile Cataracts is an abnormal clouding in the eyes due to a break down or damage to the lens. It results in a diminished ability to see or complete blindness. Cataracts can be caused by damage to the eye or it can be hereditary. Some breeds are more prone to Cataracts then others, the root cause of hereditary Cataracts is really not known either.

Juvenile Cataracts can be see very soon in puppies. If the Cataracts are bad they can be seen at the puppy visits around 8 weeks. An ophthalmologist vet can check your puppies eyes in between 8 and 12 weeks by dilating the eyes and checking the lens for any clouding or and other defects in the eye itself.

Your vet checks your dog's eyes when they come in for normal check ups and your new puppy should have had a good nose to tail check up when the breeder had then in for the first puppy check and shots. You can always have you vet do a special check or refer you to a specialist if you are worried about your dog's eyes

Collie eye Anomaly is a defect that can manifest through the underdevelopment of the choriod, a defect in the optic nerve, or adjacent areas and a thinning of the sclera and optic nerve. The range of this disease can be so vast from non apparent to completely blinding to the dog.

CEA like many other genetic disease and disorders we test for is a recessive disorder meaning that the pup has to get a copy from both parents to show the disease. An affected dogs eyes can have either eye affected differently one can be better the same or worse then the other.

CEA is graded is a 5 grade or level as follows:
Grade 1: Eye has tortuous retinal vessels with small areas of choroidal hypoplasia
Grade 2: Eye has tortuous retinal vessels and large areas of choroidal hypoplasia
Grade 3: Eye has tortuous retinal vessels and large areas of choroidal hypoplasia with colobomas or areas of ectasia (pits)
Grade 4: Eye has all of the above defects along with a retinal detachment
Grade 5: Eye has all of the above defects along with retinal hemorrhage.

If you suspect your dog may have CEA or a different eye issues see your vet and ask about your testing options and possibilities of what it might be.

Lindi was a return to our kennel her owner was unable to care for her due to some extreme health conditions. She's been a great addition to the bunch. She has great drive and has spent her time after settling in her building a good foundation gundog work.in her free time she like to cuddle on the couch, make her little humans pet her, play fetch swim in the summer and roll around in the snow in the winter.

She's a fabulous addition to our Outfitters as well as adding her into our breeding program for 2024!

Registration name: Copper Creeks Rising Phoenix
Call name: Ember
Kennel she came from: Black Creek Kennels
Birthday: May 8 2021

Embers names somewhat fitting to say the least! Well in the fact that she looks like she's been electrocuted or has crazy scientist hair for a top knot! This little lady's drive though is crazy she will flush birds all week long!!! On her down time she likes to chew bones Play keep away with just about anything the other dogs may want and chill out with her smaller humans.
We are very excited for Ember to enter into our breeding program. She carries Boykin Spaniel foundation lines.

Hip dysplasia is a disorder that mostly affects large breed dogs it's not unheard of for small or toy breeds. The hip joint is a ball and socket type joint. With hip dysplasia the ball and socket joint is grown abnormally causing the joint to slip or move around more then it should.

This disorder can be either genetic or environmental. Somethings that you can do to limit environmental factors is limit jumping and hard work on developing puppies. Studies have showing puppies jumping off of taller things and alot of hard work can cause damage to developing joints.

Limping, stiffness, lack of wanting to exercise, loss of muscle tone, leg lameness, and decrease of range of motion are some things to look for if you suspect that your dog may be suffering from hip dysplasia.

Your vet can check for hip issues in your normal check up and can confirm with a set of x-rays. Many breeders and people who run trials or show confirmation will send in these x-rays to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals or OFA where the x-rays will be evaluated and graded, there'd also pennhip which is also done with x-rays.

03/05/2024

Exercise induced collapse or EIC is an inherited recessive genetic disorder, meaning both parents have to either be affected or carry one copy of the recessive gene to pass it on to thier pups. A dog can show signs as young as five months old

An affected dog can be mildly affected meaning weakness and or shaking in the hind legs with Exercise or excitable moments or full loss of use of the rear and even the front limbs or the worst outcome death.

Many mildly affected dogs will show sign with strenuous activity of more the 5 to 15 minutes where as a dog who is extremely affected will show signs in an excitable moment. Many dogs will regain full use and control of theirbody and back legs after resting for a period of time. Many EIC episodes are accompanied by a dramatic spike in body temperature as well, but unaffected dogs as well will have a small increase in body temperature while exercising. Knowing the signs and being aware of what's normal for a dog is key. If you suspect your dog may have EIC you can get him or her tested and work with you vet to create a care and treatment plan for your dog if her or she is affected.

Many reputable breeders out there do a genetic test on thier breeding dogs to make sure they are breeding and producing healthy pup that aren't affected by disorders like EIC and others I'll cover later
