LITTER BORN 13.11.2024
sire: Dark Dynasty's Soul Saving Mozart (Niki)
dam: PAIM-T Riemumielen Ihmeellinen Illusia (Enia)
Enia and Niki's puppies were born on 13.11.2024. The litter has 4 girls: 1 sable and 3 tricolours. One more puppy was also born, a little angel who was not strong enough to make it.
Enia lived with a co-owner, and I brought her home to Kerava for the approaching birth about a week and a half before her due date. The puppies were born 60 days after a natural mating, and Enia was a natural mother right from the start.
The four girls grew up in Enia's excellent care. There was plenty of milk and mothering. The puppies were well socialised, and at six weeks of age they had their eye and health checks with vet Anna Valtonen at Pieneläinsairaala Morelius on 27.12.2024. The puppy health check found everything to be in order, and CRD was found in the puppies' eyes. After the litter, ownership of Enia passed to her co-owner Mira.
The puppies' official names
The puppies were given official names following a Mozart theme:
- Riemumielen Paimentyttö Bastienne: from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's singspiel Bastien und Bastienne
- Riemumielen Yön Kuningattaren Aaria: from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera The Magic Flute
- Riemumielen Paminan Lumoava Laulu: from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera The Magic Flute
- Riemumielen Figaron Kaunis Morsian: from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro
I wish the puppies' new homes lots of luck and joy in their life together with the puppies.
