11 pups (7 females and 4 males) born on Feb 20, 2007 by Dual Ch and AFC Westwind's Rudy of Nordais WDQ (OFA, Cerf , PRA A-1) and LPK Belleauwood of Crackshot MH (OFA, Cerf, PRA-A1 by parentage) .

All 11 pups and Belle are doing fine. They range in color from dark brown to dark deadgrass.

Belle is owned by Mike Berube of Cornish, Maine. Mike left Belle with me for the winter to whelp so he take his yearly trip to Georgia for winter training.

Belle is a very friendly, and fast and stylish retriever. She got her MH when she was two. She is a littermate to the Knapp's trial dog Crackshot Ben There Done That***. (sire CH Quail Run's Rocket Man MH*** and CH Crackshot's Citori MH***)

Pictures, pedigrees and information can be found on my website at www.westwindchesapeakes.com and Mike Berube's website at www.longpondkennel.com.
Mike returns from Georgia the first week in April . If you are not able to get in touch with him regarding puppy inquiries, I will be happy to relay any messages. At this time there are still several female pups available and there may be one male pup available.

Many thanks to modern science that allows us to freeze semen for future breedings!

Wendy,
That is a unusual large litter for AI.

Jim,

Yes it is a big litter for a frozen surgical insemination! We had 3 important factors all in our favor
1) Belle is a healty, fertile and young (4 yrs)dog. She had 12 pups in her first litter two years ago.
2) The frozen semen from Rudy is excellent quality
3) The timing for the breeding was right. (We performed the surgiccal insemenation the Friday night before Xmas, delaying a Xmas party (but all the staff were good sports about it).

There are still one or two female pups available from the litter. You can contact Mike directly on his cell # at 603-828-6327
