Unfortunately the Jovie breeding didn't take. 😕 That's how breeding goes sometimes. Other plans are in the works, stay tuned.

Today and tomorrow are the days! Jovie came into season a month early so we've been scrambling to get our ducks in a row but it looks like breeding will happen today and tomorrow!

Updates forthcoming soon!

Looks like Jovie is starting her heat earlier than expected! She started today so we will start progesterone testing on Friday!

We are excited to announce we are planning a litter for 2024! The sire is still TBD (although we have a pretty nice shortlist!), and the dam will be the lovely CH Alkemi Daydream LT (https://alkemi.org/jovie.htm). Jovie is a speed demon in agility, has a tremendous work ethic, and is sweet and gentle with people and dogs alike. And she's pretty too!

Here's how we did at the AKC Agility Invitational:

In all the years I’ve gone to the Invitational thanks to the awesome dogs I have and have had the honor of runnig with, I have never had a dog have a perfect weekend. There’s always been one little thing that costs us a Q.

The Alkemi E litter is expected on or around January 2, 2022!

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A PUPPY from this litter, please contact me. If this litter turns out the way the parents indicate it should, these should be working dogs. This is NOT likely to be the litter for you if you want a couch potato. These puppies will probably need a job to be happy (or they will make up their own, and you will likely NOT like what it is). All Vallhunds should have an off switch, but there is a range of working drive and desire, and while I expect these puppies to be stable, sane and able to switch off, this litter has been bred to be dogs who want to work, and they will need an outlet for that drive. If you don’t want that, you don’t want an E litter puppy! Needless to say, I am prioritizing performance homes for this litter. If you want a dog for herding, agility, obedience, nosework, tracking or whatever, this is the sort of litter you want

Updates about the E litter in the works! I will most definitely be prioritizing performance homes for this litter. While they should have "off switches" like all Vallhunds should have, these will hopefully be dogs best suited to homes where they will get to do something like herding, agility, Barn Hunt, etc. While all Vallhunds should make wonderful pets, I expect that these will not be couch potatoes! Vallhunds don't need hours of exercise every day, but they do need brain exercise and this litter most likely will do best in a home where they have a job.
