I see a bunch of new names on the breed directory. Just wanted to say WELCOME! Please hit me or anyone else up if you need anything.

Totally fed up with all the pups I am getting in the 96.30's, in my DenKees Kennel. Have only managed one decent male pup above 96.35, and can't bred a bitch higher than that at all.

At least I finally managed a couple of nice boys in AusWolf, including a 96.45 SOP boy with 9.9 coat, but no high females there either.

Ah well, fingers and toes crossed for the next group of litters due! Keep thinking - must start getting some more decent pups soon.

Here is the shining light in my latest litters:

96.45 SOP (full SS) and a 9.9 coat with it. He will go up for stud when old enough.

And this girl is not too bad (although shocking feet), she is only 96.20 SOP (full SS), but with a 10 coat. Be very useful for breeding.

And Lord of Memories is a very nice looking pup Aussie. I look forward to using him for stud when hes old enough

Daaaamn. Do you ever just have a day when the puppy gods smile upon you? 10.0 head and TWO 96.5 showable pups, male and female, from separate litters, separate lines. I had been in a mini rut lately, so this feels gooood. Put a bunch of puppies up for sale, including this 96.3 bitch who would make a good broodie for someone. www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14472037

Congrats on your boy -- I am officially green-eyed
Thanks, yes, Memories is the bright spot in an ordinary bunch of pups.
Glad I started the second kennel, if only for the lucky accident that has started this line of coats. It came from an old bitch still on sale in Cherry Creek Kennels.

I am waiting for the puppy gods...........

Im glad you started that second kennel for the nice coats too! Isnt it funny how things work out sometimes?

Yes, I just felt like a mini challenge - buying a couple low SOP girls from a closed kennel, to reintroduce an old line to freshen up bloodlines (rather than using starter bitches) and dragging them up to present levels. Has taken quite a long time, but has been worth it. The coat was an unexpected side benefit. Now to get that coat going in DenKees

The puppy gods have smiled a bit. Have a lovely male pup, but he couldn't have full SS could he.

SS of 19.8, with real SOP 96.50, adjusted SOP 96.60, but he has a 9.9 coat!

YAAAY! You have appeased the puppy gods! Nice boy, even if hes not fully shiny

He is a very nice boy
I do like what Dangerous Lord has sired so far, he has not got 10 coats yet, but has sired a couple of very nice 9.9 coated boys. Hoping when he meets some of my 9.9 coated girls coming up soon, I might get some more 10 coats.

All I need to breed now please - are some female puppies over 96.35, the next barrier I need to break.

Hoping the puppy gods are listening!

I finally got a good pup (was stuck in the 96.35-40 range).

But I got this girl yesterday...

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14468991

And Let It Reign, the first dog I've tried showing in a while finishing in three shows, so happy with that too!

Still need to catch up on naming pups, etc, but some progress being made.

Congrats to all the good results from everyone!

Congrats Lycaons, she is a very pretty girl.

I understand where you are coming from. I had been stuck in the 96.20-30s for a long while. I now have gained two lovely male pups in the 96.60 real and adjusted SOP range, although I still have to get into that range in females.

Here's hoping there are more nice puppies in the near future for you.

Congrats Aussie, Lycaons and Gypsy for the lovely puppies.

Nothing much is going on in my kennel right now. Just trying to finish a few dogs.

It seems like, with a very few exceptions (like that 96.7 girl I bought off Analeyn), most of us have been stuck in that 96.2-96.4 rut for a bit. Glad to see that its starting to end for most it seems

BTW am I the only one, who when I see our thread at the top of latest topics thinks to themself "I bet those other breeders are all like 'there goes those crazy keeshond folks again!'"? Maybe? Yes no? LOL. Clearly its past my bedtime.

Congrats on the wonderful dogs everyone is producing! That's awesome

The fact that our thread is at the top of the latest topics is my favorite part of being involved with this breed. I like being able to chat with you guys. It's why I chose this breed to work with upon my return. Bring on the chatter lol

-Serenity

Haha, we may be quieter for a few days, but never for long! And Ive been involved in SD on and off for 9 years now, always in keeshonds, and its kind of odd- No matter WHO the breeders are, its always been like this. The community thread is new, but even with other boards were starting to go quiet and dead, keeshond breeders always talked in our forums.

Ch Just Dont Ask, who is to the best of my knowledge the highest SOP'd boy with that 9.8 gait, will be going up for stud tomorrow evening. Just a heads up in case you have any bitches coming into heat in the next 24 hours you might want to use with him. www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=14404861


Edit: He is now open for stud! Step right up! 9.8 gait here. He's got the strut! Cmon ladies!
