The ROCKY x RUM pups are 7 weeks old and so much has been going on in the last few weeks that it's hard to know where to start...    Alex and I can't thank Sue Fegan enough for the opportunity to breed Rum to Rocky.

• BAER tests - all normal
• CERF - all clear
• TEMPERAMENT (tested by Mel Clark) - all moderate (no aggressive puppies, nor fearful puppies) and all are natural chasers
• MALES - no monorchids or cryptorchids
• EARS - 4 are fully erect, 2 almost, 2 are halfway
• NOSES - most are fully pigmented, a couple are half or more and should all fill
• CONFORMATION - Very nice, correct structure. All have good forechest  (shoulder layback and upper arm return) and rear angulation. Strong toplines. Pups have excellent reach and drive and are reasonably solid (for seven week old puppies) coming and going.

Here they are at seven weeks (click photos to see larger images):

 "Sprite" will be the new Princess in Residence at Davallia in Arkansas, where she'll be owned and handled by Heidi Clevenstine.  We're delighted!

  "Enya" has gone to live  with Alex and Zyan Mitchell, her co-breeder and son, in Michigan.  What a great life this little Princess is going to have!

  Little Princess "Eve" has gone to live with Elaine Monzon and her sons in Seattle Washington.  Lucky little Eve!

  "George", who was formerly "Spot" has gone to  live with Mel Clark and her family in Seattle Washington.  The Clark family includes George's half sister and aunt, as well as a couple of young humans who really love their dogs.

  "Peek" is available to a wonderful home.  He's visiting with Alex and Zyan right now.  Peek is inquisitive, silly, and fun, and when he's away from home his huge ears and white, white coat attract a lot of attention.  His family will have to be enthusiastic breed ambassadors, because everyone who sees him is going to want to know more about Ibizan Hounds.

  "Nys" is a lovely, happy male who's going to be a daVinci dog - although we're willing to share him with THE right home.  He has a tight wire coat, great personality, and loves to chase.  If he develops nicely, look for a romance in a year or two with a beautiful Spanish senorita.

  Gorgeous "Tino" is available to a special home where he'll have an opportunity to realize his potential.  In addition to his amazing looks, Tino is the most avid chaser in the litter.

  "Sur" has enviable reach and drive,  a wonderful personality, and he loves to chase.  He should make a fine all-around dog - Conformation, Agility, and Coursing.  Sur is available to a great home.
