It took a while but now I’m ecstatic to announce that Dotje has been mated with Multi Champion Cames Cordis Allegro!!!!!!!!!!
The mating went like a dream.
A huge relief since we were not sure when Dotje actually came into season and if there was enough time for Allegro to go the European Dog show in Zagreb before the mating. We did one blood test on Dotje which indicated we pretty much caught the first day of her season and that all things going normal (but nothing is really normal with living things) Allegro could go and get his championships (we laughingly decided that a positive approach to his show outcome would be worth the gamble of him going) and be back in time for the mating. He got his championship and he was back in time!
Dotje was very cool about meeting Allegro through the fence but once let into the same space as Allegro she turned all girly and they loved each other and after the proper introductions they got down to business.
Now lets hope she gets pregnant and we have another litter of joy!
