LisaCC Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 So I'm one of the ones that have had my name on a puppy list before the mating has even taken place. After the girl being 3 months late I got an email today saying that the bitch has finally been mated!! Fingers crossed it was successful! Patience is a virtue :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience is a virtue :) We had been too LisaCC, its been a very long process but totally worth it ! We were never promised a puppy, it was dependent on if the Mother to be (I hate saying Bitch lol) took too the mating, on the number of puppies she had, if they developed healthily, if there were any tri coloured ones (as thats only what we wanted) and dependent on which and how many the breeder wanted to keep for herself (which they like to often wait to see which one has the most show quality potential) but we got there in the end ! We also were hoping she would have them on our 8th wedding Annversary, which did mean she would have to come earlier than her due date for that to happen, and it did happen that evening ! :) ps... Thats fantastic !! hope it was successful and it all goes smoothly ! exciting times ahead for you Lisa, if she has taken Our breeder has been really good at keeping us updated all through the whole process :) Edited January 24, 2013 by Jules♥Cavs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lugeanjaam Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Oh you are so patient Lisa!! That is fabulous news though What breed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Congratulations CollieChaos, hope to see lots of photos when you get him back! Jules it is such a horrid wait isn't it, and then waiting for everything to go right. I know our breeder is wanting a girl out of this litter and I'm wanting a boy, and she has said she is more than happy for me to have one if he is born :) She had already offered me an older pup that didn't turn out quite right for show, but the timing wasn't right (There was a lot of self control needed for that one, he was lovely!!). I'm hoping for a merle boy (can't choose between red or blue they are both beautiful so whatever comes out and I can get!), and if I get a choice between a few then I think I would prefer a bob tail, but overall I want a match for me :) Our breeder is great with updates too. Like sending me this email this morning, I even got an email when the boys had started showing interest in her . Not long to go for you! Good luck :) Oops! Forgot to mention Australian Shepherd :D Edited January 24, 2013 by LisaCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesluvscavs Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) It is Lisa ! Deep down I was wanting a girl but never put in a request for one as cavaliers sometimes can have very small litters, so the chances of getting one wern't high even if there was going be be more than one tri colour pup (altho the mum was a tri, the dad was a blenheim). We were just excited if we were getting one at all ! So the breeder had no idea about my personal preference for a girl. We would have been just as happy of course with a boy ! Anyway she had 2 of each colour, and in each colour one of each sex. I was sure she would keep the girl, but she decided on the male tri and i think one of the blenheims. So it was really fate how Miah has come into our lives Its all about the timing whats meant to be I believe.. Its great your breeder is staying in touch and communicating with you, even at this stage, so was ours. Communication is what we highly look for in the breeders of our Cavaliers :) Edited January 24, 2013 by Jules♥Cavs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Well you are very lucky! To be honest I was surprised by how much this breeder wanted to know my preferences, mostly I want a boy, such sookie lalas . She said she tries to give the future owners as close to what they could want as possible, so she wanted to know my preferences for sex, colour and tail. This litter has all four colours expected too, so if it is large there could be a good mix to pick from :) Yes I like communication from breeders, I actually was recently in contact with my 11year old labs breeder!! She wanted to know if he was still kicking and how he was going :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lugeanjaam Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Oooh an Aussie! Another dog on my dream list. Have you had an Aussie before Lisa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 All this puppy stuff, so exciting! Yay Lisa, so hoping the pregnancy takes, I'm sure it will :) Getting so close Jules! CC I came in especially for your update when I realised today's the day, can't wait to hear how your little one settles in :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thanks Simply Grand! Sujo, no I've only ever had my lab before so a big difference. But I found out about Aussie years ago and they fit perfectly into my lifestyle and what I want out of a dog, so it's been a long time in the making until I was ready for a new dog.

CollieChaos Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 He's here!!! He's a dream! He hasn't gone to the toilet inside at all, and even held on all night! He took about 20mins to settle after being put to bed and is eating great :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsforjane Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 He's here!!! He's a dream! He hasn't gone to the toilet inside at all, and even held on all night! He took about 20mins to settle after being put to bed and is eating great :D OMG!!! HE IS JUST TOO ADORABLE! And what a smart boy he already is. That was exactly the same for my girl Yoness when she first came. She cried when she wanted to potty and instantly did her business when we took her outside on the grass. Now it seems like we are going backwards with toilet training as she will still cry to let her out for her number 2s but she started give us no clue when she wants to pee and make puddles inside . Thank god for timber floors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CollieChaos Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 We decided on Orion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesluvscavs Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thats a lovely name CC, any particular meaning behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollieChaos Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I was listening to a song called stars and decided his markings look like the night sky (i know its lame lol) so wanted a space type name and a friend suggested Orion and we decided it fit better than any other name we had considered :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julesluvscavs Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) I think thats a very suitable name CC ! i love names with meanings :) btw its not lame how you choose it! Miah (pronounced My ah) means the moon (Aboriginal meaning) which is very symbolic to us, and shes got Moon Light in her registered name too :) Edited January 25, 2013 by Jules❤3Cavs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I love goldens Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Here are some recent pictures of our puppy that we are getting on Sunday!!!!! Thoughts on names are still greatly appreciated!
