RRR Stardust x RRR Geordie
Black Varigated DownUnder w/Headspot x Russian Silver Berkshire
Purpose of this litter is to reintroduce Russian blue and add American blue to the dalmatian line and improve confirmation. This litter will likely be calmer than our average dalmatian litter.
We're expecting Black, Russian blue, American blue, and possibly mink based platinum. We're hoping to reproduce Melod's coloring with this litter, as it's 3/4s the original breeding line from RRR.
Paired April 6th - Expected by mid-May

RRR Venice x RDPY Kerrigan
RRR Venice x RDPY Kerrigan
Black Split Masked/patched DU x Black Capped Dalmatian w/headspot
Paired on December 15th
Expecting dalmatian/patched with a lot of facial markings and possibly some downunders. There's a slim chance for BEW as well. This is partly a test breeding to see if Venice's spotted DU belly will help 'randomize' some spotting and improve the dalmatians. We may see some recessive blazing. We'll have 100% dumbo with standard coats.
These two were paired the 15th of December, but I don't think she is pregnant yet. Her earliest due date would be January 7th and she's not showing any weight gain. I had to seperate them for a few days when Venice managed to get her foot sprained so the due date is extended.
She got her foot caught in the additional level I added to their honeymoon cage. The length of her foot was blue and tender, so I gave her a break. She is the only one to ever get her foot stuck, but I removed the level anyway to avoid injury. I'd heard screeching a couple times before, so I think she'd done it more than once. Just this time she was good and stuck and needed help. Poor Kerrigan was beside himself with worry and pouted at me for a couple days.

RRR Dobbie Junior (DJ) 3/28/08-1/3/11
I found DJ this morning. I'm in a bit of shock right now. I had a feeling it wouldn't be long bc I'd been seeing several born in 2008 for memorial posts on GooseMoose, but I honestly thought he'd make it to his 3rd birthday before it happened. And he was soo close..
DJ was one of two keepers from my first litter. He was just like his dad Dobbie. Calm, living, gentle, adorable..I wish so much that I'd had a little better warning. I'd have held him a bit longer, given him more one on one time. Instead, he probably saw a little less bc of the holiday season..
Poor DJ, my little gentle fair alpha until he was replaced this year. He stepped down from the 'throne' through a little bit of battle, but he held his own very well. And never let Kerrigan get the best of him. I think he made it easy for Kerrigan bc he was just tired. He got lounge around a lot afterward.
DJ had wonderful health. He went through his entire life with only a sniffle once or twice. And of course cataracts at the end. They'd become a lot more obvious lately, which made me worry, but there was nothing to be done. Other than that, he was still a wheel running ladies man.Goodbye DJ..
Its not going to be the same without you. You've always been here and this marks the end of an era at RRR. He was the last of our originals.
I have his children and grandchildren to help ease the loss. DJ was always a great dad to his kids when he got supervised playtime. He was always attentive and loving to them. His grandson has inherited his personality and we hope to see more generations of his family.
