Recently, in "J&A's Brittanys Waiting Room" I also announced that the breeding between Holly & Bullet had taken place. I have no apprehension about the timing here or the closeness of litters. It has been 4 years and it simply IS time for puppies again. These puppies will be born about 2 weeks apart.(Note my positive attitude!) As surely as litter nicknames are already in the works, last night John and I spent some time making a list of... ahem... AKC registered names and call names. Well, you know... just in case.
Practicing the art of patience when your hopes are high but you're still not sure of the outcome is challenging. We're all familiar with the quote "Patience Is a Virtue." And of course patience is identified as a fruit of the Holy Spirit in Galatians 5:22 - 23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Patiently we will wait. Ummm.... well at least we will give it our best shot! First milestone will be confirming pregnancy with an ultrasound for Holly Beth. Stay tuned because I do plan to keep this updated in as much as possible. But in the meantime you won't be surprised to hear me say we're going to trust God completely. I will openly share each step of this journey, partly because I simply enjoy writing but also because I've been told how much prospective new puppy owners enjoy being part of the journey with us. And speaking of new puppy owners, we are happy to share the news that Holly & Bullet's litter is fully reserved until further notice.
Speaking of prospective new puppy owners, please acquaint yourselves with the pages of this blog as listed in the far right column. There is information which will help you to prepare for a new puppy. There are also two books which we want you to have in hand and use as a resource. They are "The Art of Raising a Puppy" by the Monks of New Skete and "Tarrant Trains Gun Dogs" by Bill Tarrant.
Here is a link with an excerpt to the Monks book: ART OF RAISING A PUPPY . And here's a pretty good review of Bill Tarrant's book. Take note, there are many Tarrant books, this is the one we recommend using for the most humane method of gundog training for pointing breeds.
We also would like you to spend some time perusing the NAVHDA website. These two litters will most likely be registered not only with AKC but also with NAVHDA. Holly earned the NA 110 Prize 1 title and Toph earned the NA 107 Prize 1 title. As a good breeder friend recently told me, if you train and test your pup through the NAVHDA program you're going to have an amazing hunting dog!
Stay tuned and as always thank you for your interest in All Things Brittany! Take care and God bless, John, Ann and our canine crew
