Playing Catch up!

Well here the pups are now 9 days old and I am just starting their puppy blog! First let me introduce the parents...

SanJude's Lonesome Dove of Pal and Ch JLS Frecked Fig Bar None (L)

Dove and Figgy thus the "Doviggy" litter name (pronounced Dov-viggy).

Dove

Figgy

We feel these two compliment each other well and this outcross pedigree is a good one, combining many top winners and producers from the past as well as the past decade. Good temperaments, good health, and hopefully some nice show dogs to carry on the line and some wonderful home companions that we are also very proud of.

Dove is a young dog that is pointed and has started his show career. His sire is a nice sound dog that didn't like to show, but he should have finished. He had a Best in Sweeps win under breeder judge Patrick Jones, and is pointed out, but with the economy and majors hard to find the owners decided not to finish his Championship. Not all dogs have to finished to be included in a breeding program. It is desirable, but a Championship is only a certificate, a pedigree is a legacy. We are confident that Dove will become a Champion. He is pretty as well as showy, happy, and outgoing!

Figgy is our beautiful Newt x Rachel daughter that has proven herself as a producer and we look forward to seeing what she produces with Dove. If you want to see more about Figgy go to her page http://www.jlsdals.com/Figgy.html

Figgy has her CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) certificate that shows she has the chosen health testing done for a Dalmatian (tests chosen by the National breed club). And she passed all health tests: BAER Bilateral, OFA Excellent, CERF Normal - ISD clear. Dove's CHIC is coming pending PennHIP being submitted to OFA. He is BAER Bilateral, Thyroid Normal, PennHIP.
