Puppies - Regis X Liza

We are planning a litter between Regis and Liza and Liza has come into season very early.  If you are interested in a puppy from this exciting breeding, please email me to get on my waitlist.

Here is a lovely photo that Stefanie Smith (www.pawpic.ca) took of the two of them last summer.  Laurie Isaacson calls this their engagement photo!

Liza and Miley have both completed their health testing and received their CHIC numbers.  A CHIC number is a set of tests the CANINE HEALTH INFORMATION CENTRE in conjunction with the Dalmatian Club of America suggest that breeders use to evaluate the dogs they are going to breed.  For Dalmatians the requirements for a CHIC number is:


Hip Dysplasia

Congenital Deafness

• GDC evaluation based on BAER test

Liza and Miley both got their CHIC Numbers this last week.  

Royal Wedding

This should have been posted a while ago.  The girls and I got up for the Royal Wedding of William and Kate.  After we watched the celebrations we had tea, cookies with royal icing and muffins on the back deck in the sunshine.  It was still cool, but nice to see the sunshine.  As you can see the leaves were still not on the trees.  Of course, Liza celebrated with us!
