Pups 4 weeks old

2012-01-31T08:00:00.000-08:00

The pups are 4 weeks old and getting into mischief. I wish it was not so cold but soon they can probably go outside for awhile.

Bagheera

2012-01-31T07:57:00.000-08:00

Bagheera is now 14 weeks old and what a personality. She will be a great show dog. Her and Titan like to play.

Puppies 3 weeks old

2012-01-20T14:58:00.000-08:00

the puppies are moving around and already eliminating on the newspaper. They had their first two feedings Not everyone has liked the food but some have started eating. Mom is wonderful and so still nursing a lot.

Puppies are Walking

2012-01-12T08:13:00.001-08:00

Puppies have their eyes opened and are now walking. Sunshine is still the best mom I have ever seen. she gets upset when they start wandering and tries to pick them up with her mouth but they are all over 2 pounds. I still have females available so go to my website if interested.

one week old

2012-01-09T07:11:00.000-08:00

Puppies are a week old and doing great. Sunshine is a great mom. She will leave them now for about 5 min and practically tears the door down trying to get back in the house.

Sunshine's whelping

2012-01-03T07:23:00.000-08:00

Sunshine started whelping at 4:22 PM on Friday Nov 30,2011 I went through the first 9 all girls and 2 boys. The puppies sort of just slipped out I could not tell when she had one. She had the placenta eaten before I even knew it. She is very careful and never steps on them. She has to be hand fed. I kept up with the puppies till 10:30 PM She had had 9 by this time, 7 girls and 2 boys. Steph took over till 1:30 AM She had had two more girls and Steph thought she was done. So the count was 11. when I woke up and looked at the pile of puppies something was not right. So I counted them and there were 14. So she had three more girls after we went to bed and thought she was done. So much for the pregnancy test I still cannot figure that one out. She is a really good mom. she never steps on any and keeps them all together. Of course someone is always nursing. She is eating a little better today Tuesday. Dew claws get done today.

Sunshine had puppies

2011-12-31T19:21:00.000-08:00

Well I guess you cannot count on those prenancy tests because Sunshine delivered 14 puppies Friday 12-30-2011. If you can believe it she had 12 girls and only 2 males so I hope some of you guys wanting males will take a girl instead or wait for the next litter in 6 months.She started labor at 4:20 PM and ended up about 3 Am on New years Eve. She was a pro and had no problems I never got one placenta away from her. The puppies sort of eased out with no warning and I had to look to see she delivered a puppy. She had them cleaned, umbilical cut before you could even get the puppy. She is such a good mom and I can hardly get her to go outside to go pee.

Good News I think Sunshine is pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!

2011-12-13T21:19:00.000-08:00

I do not know why the pregnacy test was negaitve= maybe it was too early but Sunshine really looks pregnant to me She has no waist anymore and is eating anything she can get a hold of. So I hope I am right and have puppies at th new year. Kitty

Sunshine not pregnant

2011-12-09T19:30:00.000-08:00

Sorry everyone Sunshine is not pregnant. She got very sick when we came home from the national and all I can think of is that she absorbed the puppies as Eragon bred her 3 times and he is a proven stud. So sorry I hope I have better luck in 6 months.

2011-11-30T08:57:00.000-08:00

dauby (9 months old) loves to play with the puppies. She is very gentle with them and lets them crawl all over her.

Eragon bred Sunshine!!!!!!!!!!

2011-11-08T06:52:00.000-08:00

Eragon bred Sunshine Nove 1,2011. So should be having a litter of blue pups end of December. I will pregnancy check end of November to verify she is pregnant. Both Eragon and Sunshine have passed all of their health checks- heart,thyroid, eyes and hips. If interested in a puppy please go to my website, www.kenyonsatdogcreek.com and fill out a puppy questionnaire. Eragon at the nationals. Sunshine is the center dog in Motor Home picture.

dauby at Nationals

2011-11-08T06:37:00.000-08:00

Dauby did very well at the nationals. She got a second in her class 7-9 mos in Futurity and got first in her class in the regular show. I was proud of her. You would have thought she was an old pro and not her second show and her first inside. And lots of nosie and people. What a show girl she is going to be.

Puppies are Here

2011-10-17T16:03:00.000-07:00

Belize had her puppies on Sunday Oct 17th but she only had two puppies both girls. I am sorry to all of you who have filled out questionnaires for this litter. I will not commit either puppy (one black and one fawn) until I see t hem for awhile. I am planning to breed her to a very nice fawn who carries for blue in the spring. Again I am so sorry to dissappoint all of you. Kitty

Devin bred to Belize

2011-08-19T07:58:00.000-07:00

Today Aug 19th I surgically implanted Devin's frozen semen into Belize. Devin is still going strong at 9 years old but had a bit of a problem mounting a three year old who did not want to be caught so used his frozen semen. Will know in a month if breeding took.

Well the pups are 7 weeks old and growing rapidly. My show home could not take the pup so I have a blue male available but really would like a show home. here are pics of the pups first time outside and playing with a already chewed milk carton. So why buy expensive toys.

Which girl will I take

2011-03-27T17:51:00.000-07:00

here are the two girls who are show quality who I will be considering to let into my household. I have a very good home for the other girl to go to so she will not be deprived.

Puppies 5 weeks old

2011-03-23T18:30:00.001-07:00

Puppies 4 weeks

Sunshine loves the puppies but mom is not thrilled anymore. Grandma Magic also loves the puppies. They are starting to play with toys and developing personalities.

puppies 3 weeks old

2011-03-06T15:58:00.000-08:00

Belize whelped 7 puppies Sunday evening. She started at 4Pm and finished at 8PM. Pretty fast and no problems what so ever. She had 1 male Black, 2 blue males, 3 black females and 1 blue female. I am keeping the best girl and hope a friend will take a blue male for a show home.

The creek becomes a lake

2011-01-07T16:13:00.000-08:00

It's raining, it's raining, it's raining. My little creek has become a lake. The first in 15 years. Oh we are sooooo happy to have all this rain.

Eragon's Major Win

2010-12-27T16:34:00.000-08:00

Eragon got his first major in Roseburg, Oregon with my friend, Tom, handling him to perfection. Now only 3 points to go and he will be an AKC champion.

Belize is Bred

2010-12-20T18:12:00.000-08:00

Wow I cannot believe that Belize and her sister, Pistol, Just did not want to be bred. Is this a 19 year old semen thing. I missed Pistol but did Progesterones on Belize so I knew when she was fertile. She absolutely refused Eragon and even tried to bite him but guess what your mom is a vet and I can make things work. So I anestesized your ass and put those little swimmers right in your uterus so I think you are pregnant. I will check you on Jan 15th. So I hope to have a good litter about Feb 15,2011. Kitty

Walking in the Rain

2010-12-03T08:35:00.000-08:00

Dispite what you easterners might think It does rain and is cold sometimes in California. here are Magic and Titan decked out to walk in the rain.

Belize and Eragon

2010-12-03T08:25:00.000-08:00

Belize is in heat right now and I will breed her to Eragon. Eragon just got his first major in Roseburg Oregon so he only needs 3 points to finish his AKC Championship. He is already a UKC Grand champion and an International Champion. The puppies will be born in Feb and ready to go to their forever homes in April. See my litter box page on web site for details as they occur.

Pistol Devin breeding

2010-12-03T08:16:00.000-08:00

Unfortunately Pistol did not take so I will breed her next heat to Devin's frozen semen. I think some of it was Devin's age but also she did not want to let him breed and would not stand still and he had trouble staying up on her. So next time it will be a surgical implant and she will not have anything to say about it. The puppies will be all black and should be born in June.

2010-10-27T13:21:00.000-07:00

I have breed Pistol to Devin and will ultrasound her Nov 15th to see if she has puppies. I am also breeding Belize to Eragon in Feb 2011

The Nationals

2010-10-27T13:15:00.000-07:00

I just got back from the Nationals. Had a really good time and found two blue dogs that I will watch and maybe want to breed to. So it was worth the trip.

A Tribute to Anij

2010-08-16T08:37:00.000-07:00

It has been awhile since I lost my sweet Anij. She was my heart dog and even though I have a houseful of Great Danes I missher terribly. She was the leader of the pack and kept everyone else in line. she always had the spot next to me in bed. She rode in the passenger seat in the car like a person. Anij was the smartest dog I have ever had and we were quite a team in obedience and rally. She loved learning new things but got very bored with the old. She always went to every dog show even when she stopped showing. She certainly was the Queen of the house. No one has taken her place. Magic and Cassie are content to be followers. Although they both have come out of their shells and vie more for my affection since Anij is gone. So I think it will be fro Belize or Sunshine to take up the crown and my money's on Sunshine.

Belize in Idaho

Titan and Sunshine

2010-04-30T08:12:00.001-07:00

Titan my toy boy playing with the new puppy, Sunshine. He is so gentle with her.

On a happier note

2010-04-26T09:33:00.001-07:00

On a happier note I have a new blue baby girl thanks to my network of friends in Great Danes. I believe that when God closes a door he opens a window. I call her Colridge's Calif Sunshine girl at Kenyons cause out of the darkness sunshine came through when I saw her. So I believe that I was suppose to get her and to breed her to Eragon and that will be a wow litter of blues. Pricilla if you are reading this you have really got Sunshine spoiled. I cannot get out of her site or she cries. All of the dogs get along with her so that was good but Anij in her typically leave me alone growls at her if she junps up when she is on the couch.

Oh my Another sad story

2010-04-26T09:24:00.000-07:00

My Saffiara is gone. She contracted Leptospirosis and it killed her kidneys.Some dogs can contract Lepto and their not be any signs at the time of infection. This is known as chronically infected and what happens is that the dog is not sick until the Lepto has killed off his kidneys and then their is nothing you can do. Some how Eragon and Saffaira got missed when shot time came around and I feel so quilty. It was a horrible experience. So if you live in the country make sure your dog gets a Lepto shot every year not every three years.Three years old is to old to lose your Dane and I was planning on breeding her this heat. Kitty

Belize at Merced show

2010-04-15T17:37:00.001-07:00

Belize looked good at the Merced dog show. She got second to Lovie who is a beautiful fawn bitch who is 4 months older than Belize. When I get older you had better watch out Lovie.

Merced Dog Show

2010-04-12T22:05:00.000-07:00

Hi all Well Eragon did well at this show. He won Winners Dog and Best of Winners (means that the judge thought he was better than the girl who won ) at 2 of the 4 days. So he now has 9 points towards his Championship. He needs his two majors to complete that.

Another Eragon win

Legacy update

2010-03-09T15:39:00.001-08:00

Legacy is getting better but Emily had him at my house while I was at the dog show and he over did it outside and ran around with Titan and Cassie too much and got his one back foot bleeding. He is only knuckling over on his left side and only once in awhile.

Titan New Champion

2010-03-09T15:34:00.000-08:00

Titan has been a UKC Grand Champion and an International Champion for 3 years but recently became an AKC Champion after 13 times getting reserve winners dog. He became a Champion last month. I just would not give up as he deserved to be a Champ.

Belize at the Handford Show

2010-03-09T15:12:00.000-08:00

My little Belize is getting prettier and prettier. From not even moving around the ring at her first show in November,2009 to getting Reserve Winners Bitch on Friday at the Handford show. I have great expectations for her.

Handford Show

2010-03-09T15:07:00.000-08:00

Wow!!!!! We were big winners at the Handford show this past week end. Eragon was winner's dog on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So he racked up another 3 points. So he is half way through to his Championship.

Legacy Update

2010-02-04T14:36:00.000-08:00

Legacy improves everyday. He can actually walk with his hind feet in the right place for the whole length of the hall way at the clinic. He is still knuckling over but nearly as much. He saw a chiropractor this week and was adjusted. So I think he is on the mend. Kitty

2010-01-30T20:19:00.000-08:00

On Tues Legacy could walk only id supported heavily. Then on Wed He did not need as much help and he could stand on his own. Now on Thurs he could walk on his own although he knuckled over on his rear. On Friday he could get up on his own. So every day he has improved and I hope he will recover.
David and Jennifer came from Phoenix to seehim and they were so wonderful that Ithought I needed to give them a dog so I let them have Legacy's sister, Fame. They took Fame but really liked Legacy and ifhe gets 100% they will take hime also.
So Fame has gone to a new home but Titan is sad. I tried to get Magic to stay with him but no way. She just sat in front of the door to the house. I will try Cassie and Saffaria hopefully someone will want to stay with poor Titan.
So Fame got a new home but also Legacy when he recovers.

2010-01-30T20:05:00.000-08:00

Then we started him on IV's and GI protectants. Then on Monday he was paralyzed in the rear legs. I did not know how this could happen and that has nothing to do with the GI track.He could not get up and this is a death sentence for a 160pound dog. so I had to start him on IV steroids and he did respond. But steroids would aggrevate the GI ulcers. Such a dilemma. I was so worried.

2010-01-30T19:52:00.000-08:00

Legacy's story continues. The door knob story was pretty funny we thought. But 5 days later, Sun24th, Legacy got really sick. He was lethargic and had bloddy diarrrhea. He starting pooping out wrappers from some cat treats. He had eaten 70 packages of cat treats. We started him on IV's and GI protectants.

The doorknob

2010-01-23T08:35:00.001-08:00

Legacy has found a home and so I neutered him. He has been at the clinic and has been very unhappy being away from his pack. He would howl when we came to work. I decieded to let him be loose in the back area of the clinic. The next day he greeted us at the front door. When we investigated to see how he got up front we saw that he had opened the door with his teeth and destroying the door know in the process. This trait he got from his mother,Magic, and I have to have clips on every gate. I am told that Magic's sister, Chloe, also destroyed doorknobs.

Legacy

2010-01-07T14:33:00.000-08:00

Legacy is a wonderful boy who is 36 inches at the shoulder and 170 pounds and he is the most gentleist spirit. I hope that someone will want to claim him and take him to his forever home. If you are interested please email me at dockitty99@yahoo.com. Legacy is two years old.

Belize 's first dog show

2009-12-08T14:37:00.001-08:00

Bobbie our handler stacking Belize after the show. She did not do much and was very scared but did let the judge go over her but she did not want to move. She will get better. I am really liking her she is already an inch taller than her mother.
I was suppose to take some other dogs but mixed up the show dates and had to go in the Zion on the spure of the moment instead of the Motor Home.

Congradulations to Behr,Behr.

2009-11-11T18:58:00.001-08:00

I want to brag and congradulate Holly and Gary Rake who have one of my puppies, Behr, who has successfully gained a level one title in detection scent discrimination. This is competition for drug scent work like police and FBI. Behr was one of 50 contestants. Of course most of the dogs where Sehphards, hounds, malinosi, labs and rotties and Behr was the only Dane.
Now Behr was competing with many dogs who had trained for 1 or 2 years whith professional dog trainers as handlers. Behr has only trained for 6 months. Behr was one of only 15 dogs with qualifying scores and she got a perfect score. She is also still a puppy so we know she will do more impressive things in the future.
She will always be the first Dane to qualify in this competition.
We are all so proud of her and her trainers. Congradulations Behr.

Great Dane Nationals

2009-10-28T07:08:00.001-07:00

If anyone would like to see the website of the Central Valley Critiquing Club It is www.cvcc.yolasite.com
I just got back from the Great Dane nationals in Chatanooga, Tn. There were about 400 Danes. I met the black dog I am going to breed too and got a line on a blue dog in Utah that I am going to fly out to go see. So I have my next 3 breedings pretty much planned out. It was a fun trip and I made some contacts so I did what I wanted to do by going. Kitty

Central Valley Critiquing Club

2009-10-13T17:04:00.000-07:00

Not too much happening but I and another Dane breeder have started a critiquing Club. The purpose is for us breeders to learn by evaluating each other puppies when we have litters. The best way to learn is to evaluate other breeds. So far we have 2 Dane breeders, two Golden breeder, two Dalmation breeders and a Dobie breeder. I fell the more you learn the better we can breed.
I have a new web page on my web site Minimizing Genetic Disease for those interested.
Legend and Belize debut in the show ring will be on the turkey circuuit in November. Kitty

Fun at the hotel

2009-07-13T08:53:00.000-07:00

Beize says that dog shows are fun and staying in the hotel getting one on one with mom is fun too.

the dog show

2009-07-13T08:33:00.000-07:00

Well Titan did not do anything at Ventura but we had a good time. I took little Belize and she ws so scared at first. We stayed in a motel 6 and that was a new experience for her. Thursday she would not get on the bed even though Titan flopped on it right away. I literally had to drag her into the dog show with her tail between her legs. My puppies have a double wammy their first dog show not only is it all new with so many dogs and strangers but also it is the first time that they are away from their pack. And all of you who have gottten puppies know how that first night away from their brothers and sisters is like.So friday at the dog show I walked her around for four hours without Titan and she was petted and petted and by the end of that time she found out that dog shows are fun. Sat and Sunday she was going up topeople expecting treats. Because all dog show people have goodies in their pockets. From now on I am going to take my puppies to the dog show without entering them so they can find out it is fun without the stress of going in the ring.
Hi Diane if your reading this. Kitty

news from Kenyons

2009-06-24T07:01:00.000-07:00

There is not much news here. Pistol finally has a home. So all the puppies are gone. Little Guy (Geyser) is doing wonderful in his new home. Jan told me that he has wormed his way onto the bed and has to have his head on her pillow. He finally gave her a couple of kisses. He would not kiss before. I think he was really neglected at his first home.
I could not go to the Dane specialties in June so will try and get Titans last major over 4th of July in Ventura.
I took some cute pictures of my youngsters worried about a frog in our pool. The joys of living in the country. Hope to have a picture of Titan getting his championship. Kitty

Pistol

2009-05-14T07:07:00.001-07:00

Pistol still needs a home. She was born Jan 8 and weighs 45 pounds. She has a beautiful personality and loves everyone. My email is dockitty99@yahoo.com if you are interested. Kitty

Little Guy Has a home

2009-05-13T06:33:00.000-07:00

Little Guy has a home and he is now called Geyser. Jan who also bought a puppy, Brook, from the last litter took Guy home last week. She has two other Danes so he is in a family of 4 Danes and an Aussie. Posting a couple of pics so those of you who were concerned will know he has a good home.

Eragon show wins

2009-04-13T17:04:00.000-07:00

Eragon has racked up another two wins one at Merced and one last Sunday April 12 in Sacramento. So he has 4 points now. I will be sending his dad Titan to Utah to try and get his majors and he will be finished.

Mel is sold so just have little Pistol Packin Mama to sell.

Mel black boy to sell

This is a 14 month old Blue dane who needs a forever home. He was given back to me. He is very sweet and gets along with everyone as you can see from the pictures as the new dane puppies are all over him. He loves people and really needs a home. If you are interested please email me at dockitty99@yahoo.com. He is already castrated. The selling price is $1000.00.

Two puppies went home this weekend and we will miss them but we cannot keep them all and they are getting loving, happy homes. The rest will go home in the next two weeks.

Some of the puppies are going home. The ones that do not have their ears cropped are leaving this weekend but those of us who get the ears cropped are staying for a couple of more weeks. We are so worried and really like to stay together It is so scary going out into the world.

Welcome to all. I have created this blog to add information that is not on the web site like what is happening at the homestead. The funny things that happen when you live with 11 Great Danes.

Our current litter is almost 8 weeks old and will be soon going to their new homes. I still have 2 beautiful black boys that do no have a forever home.
