Shannondor Ohio of Kidmal

[Weims]

Hi Rachel, Thank you. She left a big hole but the little one is settling in and finding her place. It isstrange as Shona's birthday was the 24 October and Jodie's birthday is the 31 October, Shona only had 9 nipples and so has Jodie! Lets hope she is as good in the show ring too!

I wonder why some bitches have less nipples than others.
I am sure we will see your lovely girl out some time this year. What will be her first show?

Only just saw the posting so registered to post this.

I have one of her offspring (+ Gunalt Excess) in Kidmal Chinook. She has been fantastic and would have made her mum very proud. It took a top dog to produce her which Shannondor was. RIP.

Strangely Chinook only has 9 nipples too!

That would have been a puppy from her second litter. I took back a puppy from that litter and she was wonderful too.... I didnt count her nipples tho....lol

Would love to see a pic of your dog now.... my e mail addy is (as always) [e-mail]

Thanks for registering and lettingmeknow that your dog is doing well and you are happy.

Best wishes
Lynn

What an odd thing I just looked at bonnie and she has ten plus a little one very close to her 10th one, never bothered to look at their nipples before

[Weims]

LOL Tasha. Apparently in Germany they count them, if they have less than 10 it is a fault!

Maybe someone from germany can either confirm or deny this?

I can ask Wolfgang about this when I see him next.. is it for showing or for training also?

[Weims]

I think its for showing but not sure.....

It's true what Lynn says. They should have 10 nipples and that's for breeding purposes.

[tasha]

how wierd!! We scraped through with an extra for good luck!! haha! I'm having bonnies teeth checked as well by the vet because much as i look I just can't seem to count them up and keep her tongue out of the way... what else do they have to adher to for the conformation part of the german test?? I've done her hips and they are within range...

[marjolein]

The teeth have to be ok. Normal scissor bite and only a P1 or M3 may be missing. They count the nipples and the rest is about confirmation and coat.
If you want to sell pups to Germany, it might help if you'd do a VGP with her and the Zuchtschau with Wesentest.

[tasha]

fancy giving us some lessons?? I'm packing for holland but also for morocco just in case!

[marjolein]

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure, I'm ready to start for the VGP. All I need now is a hunting licence or someone who wants to do the job for me.

many prayers to you..

Lynne, I am so sorry to read of your loss. I saw this on another site and thought the words were realy lovely. I hope it goes some way to comforting you. Xx

If it should be.......

If it should be I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then you must do what must be done
For this, last battle, can't be won.

You'll be sad - I understand
Don't let your grief, then stay your hand
For this day, more than all the rest
Your love and and friendship, stand the test.

We've had so many happy years
What is to come can hold no fears
You'd not want me to suffer so
When the time comes - please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend
Only stay with me until the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you too will see
It is a kindness you do for me
Although my tail, it's last has waved
From pain and suffering I've been saved.

Don't grieve that it should be you
Who has to decide this thing to do
We've been so close - we two these years
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Kags, that is lovely, thank you. I am once again teary eyed. But Ihave lovely memories of them both. I am sure Granny Shona is looking after Tikka.
