Spaniels "Vom Belauer See (FCI)"

03.01.2020

 

Meanwhile also the little girl has moved into her new home. She will live in the South of Germany with a couple who are hunters and falconers. She will be trained for hunting. I am sure she will have fun at the falconry and the game parks her new owners run.

 

All puppies of this litter have been assigned now.

It is really time for an update!

 

Photos of the all the puppies have been taken and the first one left already just before Christmas.

"Super Trouper vom Belauer See", now known as Henry moved to the West of Germany to his new family. 

 

We have currently our sweet girl available for a great pet home. Ideal would be someone, who would like a dog for dog sports and other sorts of outdoor activities.

"She's my kind of girl vom Belauer See"

She was for a while a bit behind her three brothers. But when she started to eat solid food, she ate and ate and ate...and ate...and very soon there was hardly a difference to notice between her and her brothers. 

 

I think, she is a very strong puppy, full of will to live and explore the world. 

"Super Trouper vom Belauer See"

 

He is now called Henry and lives in the West of Germany with a couple who is waiting on him since four years! Now I hope that he will fulfill the dreams of a Field Spaniel and that this long waiting time was worth it. 

 

The plan is to do some Dummy work with him and also Obedience. And his owner would also like to show him. 

 

"So long SandsCape vom Belauer See"

 

So long will move to the USA. 

 

We hope that he will develop into a Show dog and hopefully later also into a Stud dog. Wait and see...

 

"So long" is a strong puppy. He has also a strong will not to be stacked. Well, I guess I have to practice a bit with him before I will take him over to his new home country.

Last but not least

 

"Summer Night City vom Belauer See"

 

Summer Night City will travel together with his brother to the USA. He will live with a nice family in the San Francisco area and have an active life with lots of outdoor activities.

I waited three years until I was able to get my first Field Spaniel. A long time to wait for a Field puppy.

 

And here we see the lucky future owner of her first Field Spaniel, waiting four years! I think this is true love for a breed. 

And now holding her Henry "Super Trouper vom Belauer See" for the first time in her hands.

The puppies have also been named. This time I took the same motto of the litter of their Mum Vicky "Winterbourne Move On To Belauer See". Vicky and her siblings got all names of ABBA songs.

 

And here are the names of Vicky's puppies:

 

"So long Sandscape vom Belauer See"

"Summer Night City vom Belauer See"

"Super Trouper vom Belauer See"

and last but not least

"She's my kind of girl vom Belauer See".

Almost another week has passed. Next Monday the puppies will be four weeks old.

 

The three boys are little chubby bears, whereas the girl is a lot more petit. Well, but I guess she will be a handful "...in due time"!

 

I have extended the little puppy run and they have enough space for first puppy plays. 

 

Taking photos of English Springer puppies is a lot easier! Quite a challenge to take photos of solid colored liver puppies. I think, I will practice again this weekend.

Today the puppies had for the first time a visit by "strangers". 

Well, they were quite interested for their age.

Some of you may wonder, what to my longtime announced Field Spaniel litter happened?

 

 

 

Well, on October 14^th Vicky “Winterbourne Move On To Belauer See” gave in a very short and easy birth life to seven puppies, four boys and three girls.

 

 

 

The first day everything looked fine. They were drinking, Mum took care of them and they were quiet. In the evening I put them on the scale and it didn’t look good at all. All of them had lost weight. And I am talking about a major and not a normal loss. Obviously, there was a problem with the milk flow of Vicky. I took all steps to get an improvement of course plus I started to give the puppies a little extra using a supplement based on goat milk I had used before with another English Springer Spaniel litter.

 

 

 

After approximately 24 hours one puppy started to have some stomach problems. I never had this really happening before, so I spoke to a breeder friend and followed her suggestions. And I also messaged with my Vet and followed her advice. Within a short period of time this puppy got worse and died in the end. I rushed to the Vet as two more puppies were not well at all. Unfortunately, they also died within 1 ½ hours being at the Vet. She couldn’t save them. But what was the cause?

 

 

 

I brought two of the dead puppies to a laboratory. Unfortunately, I still have no results back. My Vet thinks that the puppies didn’t cope with the supplement I used. Maybe they couldn’t cope with the goat milk, although many breeders swear on goat milk. And I have been really happy with the product before. I suppose that this was the cause of losing the puppies as I started to use immediately a different product. I am very happy that the remaining four, three boys and one girl, are doing well, now.

 

 

 

It has been a truly horrible experience. And these are the hours, when you think about stopping to breed! That is the reason, why I waited that long with any posting. I just didn’t feel like doing it and I wanted to wait, how things will proceed.

 

 

 

Meanwhile the puppies will be turning two weeks tomorrow. They have opened their eyes and are starting to explore their surroundings.

Our Field Spaniel "Winterbourne Move On To Belauer See", aka Vicky,  made it again a bit exciting! She came a month earlier into season than expected. That way I have been able to travel beginning of August to a new country: Finland! We spent almost 2 weeks in Finland and hope now for a great outcome.

 

On August 13th and 14th, 2019 Vicky was mated by the finish male "Icemint Hip Hip N' Hooray". We hope for puppies around October 15th. 

 

All information about the Dam you can find on her own Website. Please click on her name above and you will be directed to her Website.

 

The male is Finish Champion and Finish Winner 2017.

 

His hip score is A/A as in Finland both hips are evaluated separately.  ED is 0/0. His eyes are clear. Last test was October 26th, 2018.

 

Hippu, as he is called by his pet name, passed the Hunting Ability Test in Finland. Beside his physical attributes Hippu has a very friendly and open temperament. He isn't afraid of anything. Something not to be underestimated in this breed! I met his litter brother 2017 in the USA. I was taken by him, so it was an easy decision to use the brother now for this mating. You will find all information about Hippu on the Website of the Finish Kennel Club. Here is the link. 

 

Vicky has already offspring in two small litters which is nationally and international very successful. Alice "Noble Alice vom Belauer See" which is living at our Kennel is Junior World Winner 2018, European Winner 2019 and has despite her young age already many more Junior titles. Her half-brother, our co-owned  "Prince Arthur vom Belauer See At Nadavin" lives in England and has been already very successful at Shows in the country of origin of this breed.

 

Hippu has offspring as well, which has been already successful in the Show ring. You will find information also on his Website of the Finish Kennel Club.
