Pedigree of the Litter

Circe was bred to Cyrano to reinforce some character qualities wihout losing any working drives, trainability and physical stamina. Cyrano and his father are both social dogs yet love to do protection work, have plenty of tenacity and courage and are responsive to handler controls. Circe is a retrieving fool, extremely willing to please and enjoys a chance to do protection training. Both partners are very happy, up tempo dogs while still retaining that innate sense of what and who are threatening that forms the foundation of an excellent protector. The icing on the cake is that both dogs are very typey and well built...good examples of the breed.

Cyrano x Circe pups born May 15, 2009

May 15, 2009 was a great day for 10 new working line Bouvier babies to arrive in the world. Circe was also grateful to lose 18 lbs in one day! :-}
I am so excited about the prospects for these 5 boys and 5 girls.
They are now 1 week old and already a couple of them have climbed out of the kiddy pool whelping box. Eyes still closed but already on the go.

I'm happy to share photos of parents and other relatives and the pups as they grow and develop.
