Breeding Plans

Dave has informed me that Dixie is in season. Day 1 was August 24. I've decided to breed her to Joey.... well, Dave will have to officiate the mating. The scary thing is that if the breeding is successful, puppies will be ready to go to new homes right around Christmas. I'll have to make sure people aren't wanting to buy a puppy for a Christmas gift, especially for someone who may not be so committed to new puppy ownership. Raising a litter in winter is not as easy as a spring or summer litter, either. I like to give pups exposure to the great outdoors, but if it's nasty weather or too cold, can't do that. First we have to see if the two will breed....

Introduction

While the rest of the kids are at "summer camp" in North Dakota, Misty and I decided it was time to create a blog for Ricochet Vizslas. So who are we? I am Grace Anne, leader of the pack. Next is Misty, currently 9 years of age, retired from show and field competition. The other four at camp are Joey, who will be 3 this fall, Dixie, 2 years old, and Dylan and Sara, 1 year old littermates. They are out there with their best buddy (and mine too) Dave. We miss them, but know they are having a blast.
