How Honor's Timing Twisted Our Plans
Last year, Honor’s little prank on us was a masterclass in canine timing! Just when we thought we had everything perfectly orchestrated, she threw us a curveball that would make any comedian proud. As we sat on the edge of our seats, waiting for her heat cycle to kick in, we felt like we were in a whimsical canine soap opera. Remember how that drama unfolded? We had everything meticulously planned, from the sire to the whelping room, but Mother Nature clearly had her own agenda. As we anticipated hitting the “go” button, Honor decided to play hard to get. There we were, waiting for her heat cycle that wouldn’t start when Grace’s heat cycle started instead—like a sudden plot twist in our canine soap opera!
We spent almost two weeks contemplating whether to breed Grace instead of Honor, with each day being another step toward losing the opportunity for puppies in 2024. And just when we’d finally made our decision to go ahead and breed Grace, Honor, apparently motivated by sibling rivalry, decided to join the party the very next day by starting her heat cycle. Talk about timing! It’s as if she was waiting for the dramatic climax before swooping in with the punchline.
Grace outshined our expectations and blessed us with a stunning litter of 13 fabulous puppies that took center stage. As the holidays rolled in, these lively pups became the stars of our home, filling every corner with joy and chaos. We couldn’t help but chuckle as Honor attempted to nurse her sister’s brood, clearly signaling that she was ready to join in on the puppy party! It’s moments like those that remind us how unpredictable—and utterly delightful—breeding can be. The hilarity of it all keeps us on our toes, proving that in the world of dogs, there’s never a dull moment!
After the unexpected twist of last year, we’re thrilled to finally focus on Honor. This time around, she seems to be fully on board with the plan, and we are buzzing with energy as we plan and prepare to witness the magic of her second litter. One of the most striking aspects of Honor is her stunning coat – and it’s rare to find a coat like hers! The unique combination of thick, straight-as-an-arrow guard hairs and a balanced undercoat are simply unparalleled. Coupled with her stout frame and impressive muscle tone, Honor embodies a perfect blend of a working dog’s strength and attributes. With a sire who complements her with size and presence, we’re brimming with excitement for puppies who are sure to inherit their stellar traits. It’s like waiting for the next season of your favorite show – full of promise, potential, and a whole lot of puppy shenanigans. So buckle up, because this season of the Steadfast kennel show is coming at you!
