Welcome new Licosateria puppies!

Sipzie and her babies at Day 4

The long waited second litter from our Little Miss Sipzie has finally arrived. She has 3 tri colour boys, 1 tri colour girl and 1 blue merle boy on Sunday 26th Janauary 2014. The daddy of this litter is not one of my boys :) It took me a lot of courage to go out and used an outside dog :) The sire of this litter is Ukr/Russ Ch Briggsview Jack Frost of Milesend. A lot of people asking me why I have not use my own dog, the simple reason is that I'd love to breed my own bi colour puppy. Jack is a blue merle that carried the bi gene and he is eye clear which is a bonus. Sadly, this means Sipzie does not carry the bi gene, Oops! But we love her not any less :)

2014

Yesterday, everyone was celebrating the end of 2013 and making new year resolutions to welcome 2014. The KNIGHTs household was very calm and quiet. We are still grieving the loss of our beloved Seagull. All I did was hugging my dogs, all of them, we snuggled up onto the big couch, all dogs were lay close next to me and Colin in front of the fire. I have to say, Sing and Sonic were particularly close, they would not leave my side at all. To those who knows Sonic well, he isn't a friendly dog, he likes to have his own space and being independent but since we buried Seagull, he glue to me all the time. He's the only one that have found Seagull's grave in the garden (surprisingly, none of the others find it). Sonic is a very sentimental dog, also very sensitive, he doesn't like any disturbance noises from the other dogs (such as dog whinning or whinging), if any of the others made such a noise, he will come and find me and "tell" me about it. He is a very special dog, just like his daddy Sing.

I wish to say I would like to do this, do that in the New Year, make some resolutions but my mind is absolute blank at the moment, I can't think of what I want to say or what I want to do. I haven't done much lately apart from walking the dogs and hugging the dogs. Training is totally out of the window at the moment. 

Maybe I should say I would like to try to qualify Sonic for Crufts, Olympia and UKA Final; also tryout for International events? I know one thing for sure, we will try very hard to become a better Team :)

Also, I am looking forward to breed my first bi colour litter in 2014 :)

Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2014 is a successful and healthy year you all. 

The dog of my heart! At nearly 12, he is still going strong!
