I’m doing my best to prepare. If there’s anything anyone…[Read more]

Hello everyone,

We have completed our second attempt at breeding Manuk and Nana in mid-December 2020 (first attempt was unsuccessful mid-May 2020. All of us, people and dogs are ‘newbies’ at this breeding experience). This time around, natural breeding was unsuccessful so we did two artificial insemination procedures. We have our pregnancy…[Read more]

Hi Penthea,

Thanks for caring 🙂 This is the message I posted on another discussion forum “Swiss Cheese”:

Hello all interested in our Swiss Cheese Litter!

Don’t mean to toot my own horn (not much to toot about really) but we ARE planning our first Chinook breeding in May 2020. Not sure if there are any Chinook breeders outside the US at all but if not, we’re almost sure we’re the only ones in Switzerland if not Europe (not sure about this though since there’s very little communication between…[Read more]

Hi Carie,

Sorry for the 2 year delay in replying. It’s been a long, personal journey since your response. I tried contacting Elza via the email you provided back then for the last year or so but I have not had one reply from her. I wonder if my emails just landed in her spam mail because she doesn’t know I exist. Any chance of you letting her…[Read more]
