Hussy Hoaxey

Well it's all kicking off in the Hanekom House!

Hoax has come into season much earlier than expected. She started it at the beginning of this week and has already turned into a wanton tart. After much consideration we have decided to hold of breeding from her until at least her next season and possibly even the one after that. We had always planned on mating her this winter but considering the baby isn't even here yet we decided not to push it. I think if we already had the baby we would have a much better idea of if and how we will be able to dedicate time to everything. I think it would just be stupid to throw ourselves blindly at our first baby AND first litter at exactly the same time.

When we do breed I plan on having lots of interaction with the puppies, socialisation, trips and car journeys, basic training and TONS of play. I really don't suspect that I would want to give the pups the attention they deserve with a eight or nine week old baby here aswell.

So apologies to anyone STILL waiting for a Boo x Hoaxey pup. I promise it will happen sometime be it the beginning of next year or end of the year. The only think I don't want to do is compromise too much on Hoxeys Agility career so if she comes in at the beginning of the 2009 Agility season, sorry but we will wait till the season after that! The pups WILL be worth waiting for though x

Anyway, I cannot belive what a tart Hoax is. I have never had a bitch so willing to procreate. Boo (having been used for stud last week) is very randy and would follow Hoax anywhere understandably. However I expected Hoax to show a little more resiliance, no way! IF she happens to get in the same room/ garden as Boo she is prancing round him with her tail and ears stuck high, it then takes her about three seconds to 'stand' for him even though she is only on about day 4 and is no way ready. Tart!

We went to MADs training last night and Nic worked Boo and Linx while I watched. Boo was sooooo happy and barking all the time. He worked really well for Nic so fingers crossed he will be a good boy running teams for Nic this weekend at Agility Club. I am hoping to go along aswell to watch and have a natter with all you lot I havent seen for ages!

Gosh what a long post! Sorry all and BFN x

ps small warning- my belly is HUGE now :)
