Another flight booked

Well it looks as though the green light is ahead for another visitor to Oregon. Unfortunately it STILL isn't me, but I am planning on driving out to Black Sheep Gathering in June to see the west coast sheep breeder friends, and maybe even pry a few of my Cardigan friends from their homes to come visit me as well!! But I digress.....

Ell will be making a trip to Oregon to meet her suitor. I decided very last minute to go ahead and breed her this cycle as she has only had three heat cycles and they haven't been very regular. I am home during the winter months, and can devote entire weeks to the whelping and rearing and socializing of puppies, much more than I can in the hot, sticky, extremely busy summer months. So instead of waiting for her to cycle again in the summer months I am going to try for a litter now. Ell has all health tests accounted for, and prelim hips/elbows were good/normal so I feel confident in this decision. I had originally wanted to do her official 2 year old hip xrays when she was supposed to come in, back the first part of October but I grew weary of waiting for to cycle. And I obviously couldn't do her hips for the next few months now that she is in season and then more waiting. So its decided :)

For more information on the litter and suitor you'll have to go to my website though......
