whats new.
Shows have been going well for us this year. our boy Bubba got some major recognition last weekend at the rare breeds show. He came in as top dog 9th over all ina field of over 500 dogs point wise for 2008. This was a major acomplishement for the American Bulldog here in Canada as this breed is in the fringes and some recognition definately cant hurt. At the same time Tera of steel City had a small litter of 3 sired by Bubba at home. Its pretty cool that the kennel is getting to the point where we can be at a show showing dogs and at the same time at the kennel delivering a litter and taking care of the other dogs.
Our breeding season has now oficiolly started early and its going to be a busy one. Probably the bussiest we have been in 3 years. We have 4 studs up to bat this season.. Ch Bubba, CH Chopper JR, Chopper is comoing out of retirement to sire some stock and my boy Charlie Brown is going to put in some work. On the ladies side we are stocked. Steel City Bully and Feisty of Swamp dog are both passed there second heat are will be coming into season this season. Tyra will be bred one last time and then retired probably to Chopper. Matilda of SS is up for one last litter for sure but well have to wait and see how the shedule is. Blizzard our new addition will be bred but to whom we dont know yet. Georgia is well overdue for a litter and should be bred this season but thats up to Kinga to decide wether she want to do the breeding.
Thats alot of pups alot of late nights and alot of cleaning up..lol. Its a good thing we have such a great team. The kennel is getting revamped also we are getting rid of the stone in the runs and pouring concreste slabs in the runs with a nice 3% slope from the center for easy cleaning and proper drainage. The inside of the kennel is getting a gut job. With new electrical, plumbing drywall and insulation. We will finnally have running water in the building yay no more garden hoses. Were also putting ina gas furnace with a propane conversion to keep the temperature even when the wood stove runs out at 4 AM and we dont wake up.
Things are also progressing with our home looks like we might be back in exactly 12 months from the month of the fire. Wich would be great to sleep in our own bed again. Or a new one just like our old one?
