Usually when we say 'Tis the season' it's in regards to Christmastime. It's a phrase used to draw the focus to the most festive time of the year. We've probably all sung the chorus of Deck the Halls 'Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, to la la la" while looking forward indeed to the most wonderful time of the year. Suffice it to say, it's the middle of July and although the Hallmark channel is showing Christmas movies, we have about a half a year until it 'tis the season'.
That is, unless you are me, waiting for Holly Beth to come into season, so that I CAN say "Tis the season"! And that's exactly where I am right now. I am WAITING. Good things take time. But hey, at least it gives me something to blog about, right? Something uplifting and positive, something to lift spirits in a time of uncertainty and especially in the months following my dear Treasure's passing. I miss her every moment of every day.
So many of you have followed my intermittent writings over the years. You have come alongside of me through the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, the mountains and the valleys of many of life's experiences. The very existence of this blog and often our mutual love for God AND for Brittanys has resulted in some very wonderful friendships. For this I am thankful. It has been fun to share each journey with you and especially when it involves waiting for puppies! Good things take time!
There is so much advance planning and careful consideration that takes place whenever looking ahead to a potential breeding. I believe one of the most important things to consider is being certain that there are already homes lines up long before the actual breeding occurs. We are happy to receive many inquiries into our breeding program on a regular basis. We point the way to our puppy reservation policies through our website and take it from there.
We do have a waiting list and have already announced our plans to those on the list. Some of whom have been waiting since last year. Good things take time! Obviously availability cannot be guaranteed until there are actual pups on the ground but we are still happy to consider a few more who feel would be a good fit. And if not for this litter we do have plans to do a nice repeat breeding with our daughter's Toph and our True for this fall and winter. Also, if all goes well there's going to be puppies sired by Hemi born in a couple of weeks.
By the way, I've heard from other Brittany breeders that they have received double the inquiries into puppies this spring. Most believe that is due to the stay at home orders imposed upon us all due to the pandemic and all of a sudden people want puppies on a whim. Breeders are being especially careful and diligent right now, self included. (Fortunately everyone so far on our waiting list is already a part of the ATB family!)
I am sitting here listening to "The Message" on SiriusXM radio. The song "God You Reign" is playing. A good and timely reminder that indeed, whatever is going on God hasn't given up His authority and is faithful to watch over and protect all that concerns those who love Him. This state, country, and the world have gone nuts.
It's getting late and I've been working on the bios and pedigrees for our summer breeding plans long enough. I received an upgrade to my pedigree program and I still haven't figured it out so if anyone sees any errors please do not hesitate to let me know. I may tweak the web page a little more but I've been so anxious to let you know what our plans are this time around that I wanted to publish it now.
So here you go, click here for the great reveal!
As always thanks for your interest in All Things Brittany. Take care and God bless you and yours!
John, Ann and our canine crew.
Stay tuned...
