Litter planned Winter 2008

As we will be spending a year in the US from September, we expect this litter to be born there.

We are intending to mate Gala to our Aragorn when she next comes in season (expected in August 2008). You can read more about Aragorn on his pages, but briefly, he has a great pedigree (his sire is Sh Ch Caristan Moet Chandon JW and his dam, Miraje Dallas Dreamer, has two CCs) so is most definitely from show lines. But as his agility and obedience titles show, he is a very workable dog — the most talented I've ever had! He is working Grade 6 in agility, and A and B obedience. He is siring well marked, highly workable puppies. Gala is Grade 3 in agility with a number of trophy places and has done very well in the show ring, being qualified for Crufts for life with a stud book number.

Although Aragorn may carry blue and tri, it is unlikely that Gala does, so we are pretty much expecting only black and white puppies from this combination with a very small chance of blues. As both parents have been health tested, all puppies are guaranteed to never develop CEA, CL or TNS. Both Gala and Aragorn are also normal for MDR1, so the puppies should not display any drug sensitivity. You will be able to meet both the sire and the dam when you come and see the puppies (if you'd like to meet either beforehand, just get in touch, they both love meeting new people and they might even be able to demonstrate their agility / obedience skills for you!).

Puppies out of Gala and Aragorn are expected to be flashy and long coated suitable for breed showing, obedience or agility. Contact us for more details about these puppies if you have any of these disciplines in mind for your Anadune puppy — homes where the dogs will be involved in a performance activity will be given preference. Please include some information about yourself in your email, such as your location and a short description of your household and household routine.
