WoooHooo! Run Flirt Run!!! Actually, Miss Flirt is sitting out this invitational to do the mom gig, but she is in the top 5 for 2024 so we’re hoping the invitational returns to Orlando next year and we can combing conformation and fast cat in one big fun trip.

Ultrasound confirmed! Tempo is pregnant! So pleased to have worked with Dr Anders Thoreson, our excellent young repro vet to treat her poymetra and successfully get her bred without a reoccurrence.

Flirt and Audie’s puppy, the one and only… currently being called “Fatman” for obvious reasons…. He is too chubby to walk! He prefers to be carried around by his human servants. When forced to stay in his box he uses his time wisely by eating more and laying on his stuffed heartbeat puppy friend.

As a breeder we accept that in every litter there is inherent risk even though in reality it most often comes off without a hitch. The latest litter ticks all the “that’s never happened to me before” boxes. But in every rain cloud there is a silver lining… so here’s the latest saga. Flirt had an exray that showed just 3 pups, putting her at risk for not going into labor due to low fetal count, She hemmed and hawed for several days and when we got to 62 days from the last breeding we went in to the repro vet for an assessment. Progesterone was very low showing she should have delivered but labor never started and puppies were in distress. The vet did a c-section. The section showed that there was a stricture in her uterus. If she had carried enough pups to go into labor naturally they could not have been delivered naturally and both the pups and flirt’s lives might have been lost , so it was fortunate that she had only three and did not go into labor. So I am thankful for a small litter and no labor for saving flirt’s life which is always my primary concern. One pup was lost at the time of the C-section, another lost soon after. Poor Flirt suffered from severe mastitis due to loads of milk and no puppies to nurse then her milk dried up completely and I am now bottle feeding the one remaining pup whose nickname is “the tank” as he is so healthy and well fed he looks like a NFL linebacker rather than a puppy. It’s been a long time since a 2am feeding got me out of bed! I gotta say, I prefer a retirement sleep schedule over a new mother sleep schedule for darn sure! Thankfully the time needed to get a puppy to sleep through the night is far shorter than a human, so I am thankful that this will be over in a few weeks. Tank and I are bonding and he thinks I am his real and true mommy. The aunties are itching to meet him and show him the routines of life. I think he will be the most socialized GP ever as he spends time riding around in my shirt most days. Call him the ultimate mama’s boy for sure!

What do they say about the apple not falling far from the tree? Chaos trying to get his daughter Tattle to engage. She is giving him the “hell no”’look. Love these two!

What a great weekend for the Oakwood kids. I couldn’t be prouder! Ellie and Jennifer competed at the Westminster KC dog show! They turned heads and made friends everywhere they went. Congrats on the BOS! Meanwhile on the west coast, Tattle placed group 4 in Klamath Falls, Oregon. In Fast CAT Morrissey finished his DCAT. Great weekend!

I am so proud to share this photo of Flirt, who is now CH Oakwood Inside Obsession, FCAT, SWN. (CH Lilla Enebys Obsession, NW1, SWN and GCH Oakwoods From The Inside Out, NW1, FCAT, SWA). Tina and Cornell took a stud dog from me three years ago and I showed and finished him while they watched ringside. When they took Flirt on a breeding bitch contract when she was half way through her championship, Tina decided to finish Flirt herself. She got her second major and the rest of her singles! Tina has decided to work on her Grand CH in addition to scent work, fast CAT and maybe even some agility! Congratulations on your new champion Tina!

07/05/2024

Audie is growing into an awesome show dog! Our friend Christine (who was showing Hank the sweetest Black Russian Terrier ever) volunteered to show Audie minutes after meeting him as Toney had surgery and couldn’t run. He loves everyone and showed well for her. Love his temperament! Congrats to owner Toney Griffith and co-breeder and Audie’s first mom Jessica Padilla.

05/05/2024

Another new champion! Tina and Flirt got their final point and new CH! Audie won BOB on Friday, congrats to Toney and Ellie won BOB on Saturday. Jen and Ellie looked great in the groups. Sunday Tattle passed her Odor Recognition Test (ORT) for birch and anise scents which is the first step towards competing in nosework.
