My pups are ALWAYS bred first and foremost for health and temperament, and their suitability to family life, and especially families with young children. They do, however, also have amazing looks, with tremendous dark pigmentation, excellent conformation, and have varying coat lengths.

For your information: Keweras special pups are £600 each. (I take a £100 deposit when your puppy is 4 weeks old, and the balance on collection.)

 Please contact me to use Monty (Keweras Trenowath Trust) as a stud for your 'girl'. Monty has a hip score of 8:6, clear eye certificate and is up to date with his vaccinations. His temperament is truly amazing - and as far as I am concerned, this is absolutely crucial when breeding any dogs, but certainly a breed that will likely be growing up with young children. I charge £450 for a mating, and offer a free repeat mating on her next season ( in the unlikely event that your 'girl' doesn't conceive on her first mating.) I am very easy to get to - very close to Plymouth - just over the Tamar Bridge on the A38 into Cornwall. Please ask if you need directions sent via the computer, or over the phone:

Tira and Monty have now been mated, and I am anxiously awaiting the outcome. I have been desperate to have a litter with Tira, as she is such a lovely girl - always so sweet to her canine companions, and perfect with humans, but each time she has had a season. circumstances here at that time have made a mating  impossible.  Monty is a perfect match, having the same sweet disposition as Tira. I am expecting some very soppy puppies here - fingers crossed for a positive outcome regarding the pregnancy. Please contact me to place your name on the waiting list asap, and I will reserve your puppy subject to our contact regarding your circumstances. Pups should be due around July 19th.   Thankyou

Today is a very special day - Torr (alias Mr Soppy 2) left his puppy-hood behind and became a big dog - he mated with our darling Tegan - despite all our concerns about his reluctance to mate, due to his immaturity. I am absolutely over the moon as he is my new 'outside' blood, and can therefore be mated to any/all of my 'girls' and also to 'girls' people have bought from me who are of course tied into my own lines. So Tegan and Torr will hopefully have a litter in early August - and they will be very special - I'm sure of that! Their pups will be due around August 4th. Please contact me to book your Autumn puppy from this litter. Thankyou.

 

         

                  TEGAN                                     TORR (Mr Soppy 2) Always smiling!

I am happy to report that things are looking positive for both 'girls'. Tira is changing shape quite rapidly, and is showing other signs too. Tegan always shows early - and her behaviour changes quite dramatically, so I am confident she has taken with Torr. 

I will update further when I have some more news. In the meantime Tira and Tegan send love and licks to you all xx

Tira is now starting to show quite a bit, and is even more loving than usual! She has had some visitors recently - people who have booked a puppy from her - and has loved every minute of it. Monty thinks everyone has come to see him exclusively, and just cuddles into everyone, and rolls on his back for tummy tickles! Tira and Tegan are enjoying their breakfast of chicken and pasta each day - something all my expectant mums get without exception.Tira's appetite has gone through the roof, whilst Tegan's has gone the other way (except when the chicken and pasta appears in front of her!)  Anyway, all is going well with both girls - so fingers crossed it continues that way.

We are now just a week away from puppies, and Tira has been digging furiously under the bench in the front garden, having decided that she has found the perfect place to deliver her pups! I, of course,have other ideas, and will be moving down to the whelping room with her tonight, to acclimatise her to the whelping box in good time for her delivery. I will telephone everyone once the puppies arrive, and she and I have had time to gather ourselves after a long stint of  puppy arrivals. As soon as I am able after this, I will put pictures on this page of the puppies for you.

Tira had her puppies via caesarean section (due to uterine inertia) early afternoon on Saturday 17th July. She had 6 puppies - 4 boys and 2 girls. Unfortunately we lost a little boy this morning after he became weak and unwell last night. Naturally we are very upset - and poor Tira has been frantically looking everywhere for him today, and has been very agitated. I haven't been able to update this page until now, as she has needed a lot of support all day. 

 The remaining pups are so far feeding well, and Tira is now a great mum after her initial confusion following her caesarean. I will be putting the first picture on here later this evening. 

               

 

Here they are bless them! Jess (who is sitting in the whelping box with Tira) and I decided to call them as follows: 

Pink - Petal, White - Lily, Green - Basil, Blue - Diesel, Yellow - Sonny. Sadly we lost darling Tango - orange this morning, but I wanted you to have a chance to see him.

24.07.2010

Tira and I have unfortunately had a dreadful week. Tira has had horrendous problems with her internal caesarean wound, which in turn has meant she has needed a lot of support with feeding and cleaning her babies, As I mentioned on my previous update, she lost a puppy two days after he was born, and was distraught. I managed to help her through that, and she settled again, but it was on Wednesday that things went awry with her stitches, so she had more surgery, and naturally became unsettled with the pups again, as she was very uncomfortable. We now have another puppy, Sonny, struggling to gain weight, and I am therefore very busy trying to help him as much as I can. I have been extremely upset about him, and nearly brought Keweras to an abrupt end this morning. As you are all aware, I am totally dedicated in all I do here, and totally devoted to all my dogs and pups, so when things like this happen, it is very difficult to deal with. I become very attached to all my puppies - hence wanting to keep in touch with all their new owners once they leave - so losing them is heartbreaking, and being tired from being on the go all night doesn't help the situation. I hope my next update will be a happier one. I have telephoned the prospective owners of Sonny to put them in the picture first hand, so if you haven't heard from me, you know Sonny isn't your puppy. I hope to post new pictures on here later this evening when Brian is back from cricket, and can watch the puppies for me.

Before I update today, I would like to say a huge thankyou to everyone who has emailed to offer me their support and good wishes for Tira, Sonny & myself. You have no idea how very much this has meant to me - and I could never find the words to express what a difference it has made, or how grateful I am.

Last night was busy as ever with Tira, but also with Sonny's regular feeds. He began to get stronger at about 1.30 this morning, and after having his dropper feed with me he went on to Tira - and tried to push Basil (the biggest pup) off the teat! I was astounded. He has been up and down today really - but generally good. He seems to have an under developed area in his throat so chokes on his feeds. I am reliably informed by my vet that the nervous system continues to develop until they are between ten and twelve weeks old, so I felt I really had to give the little chap a chance, especially since he is fighting to keep going himself. Things should improve once he goes onto solids, if in fact he makes it that far, as they can deteriorate very suddenly. The other pups are thriving thankfully, and are growing so fast that I have to keep changing their collars! Tira is beginning to settle again, and is very devoted to her babies, which is wonderful considering all she has been through. I am going to give Sonny his two hourly feed, and will then put the pictures on for you.

   Taken during the night 24/25th July - all five suckling happily  inc. Sonny

 

                                  Very proud (and brave) Mum

 

 

 

 

 

TEGAN:

 Tegan's pregnancy is progressing well. As ever she is attempting to climb inside me in order to get as close as she can! This is always exaggerated when she is expecting puppies, though just part of her loving nature generally. I fully anticipate her delivery taking place up on my bed in the whelping room - as that is where she likes to have at least her first puppy! I will be in touch with those of you who are anxiously awaiting this litter, as soon after her delivery as possible.
