New Puppies! Decker x Kodi

Daddy Decker

Decker loved water work!

We are so excited to announce the arrival of 9 puppies (7 females, 2 males) on 11/6. Kodi did a wonderful job whelping the first 9 pups. Puppy number 10 was not to be, as it was an extreme breech delivery. We made a mad dash to the emergency vet on Sunday morning in the cold rain and a quick assessment revealed that an emergency c-section was needed. Kodi came through the procedure very well and was home with her babies by 11:00 AM. She did not miss a beat and went back to caring for her pups like there had never been an interruption. It's always so sad to lose a puppy, but we are VERY grateful to have our Kodi home safe and sound.

The sire of this litter is Am/Can/Int'l CH Stargazer's Hit the Deck CD AX AXJ RE CWDX, a handsome boy we owned some years ago who was that lovely combination of easy-going around the house and with people and other dogs and a driven performance dog. Decker reminded us a bit of the Labrador Retrievers that we had in the past in his zeal for retrieving and would literally retrieve until he dropped. Anyone playing ball with him needed to be coached to stop before Decker actually harmed himself due to overexercise and heat distress. This litter was sired by means of frozen semen.  Isn't technology grand?

Kodi is a water fanatic!

The letters on each side of Decker's registered name reflect that he is an AKC and CKC Champion, earned a Companion Dog obedience title and Rally Excellent title, earned his "Excellent" titles in AKC agility in both the jumpers and standard classes and had a Courier Water Dog Excellent title.

Mama Kodi is Seaworthy's Lookout Here I Come TKN.  Her only title so far is a Novice Trick title, but she is actively training in Agility and Water Work and we plan to get back into competition with her once her maternity leave is over.  We had hoped to compete in conformation with her and earn an AKC Championship title.  Her small size (17.5 inches, 36 pounds) and different "look" compared to other females in the ring in our area makes it difficult to compete in this venue and, frankly, it is not our favorite area of canine competition.  We'll probably let our male puppy "Koll" and his sister "Penny Lane" (which we co-own) from Kodi's litter last year "represent" for her in the conformation ring.

Keep checking here for lots of photos of the pups and what they are doing in the upcoming months before they go home.  I'll be posting links to a new photo album each week which will have photos of all the pups.  We always have a theme for our litter and these little guys are named after NCIS characters.
