Well I didn't really forget about this blog but I have been so busy updating our facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/LadybugzLowriderz) and having 7 YES & dachshunds that I have neglected to post here.
Whats new since our last posting??? Hmmmm??
Well Stormy and Devon's girls Pearlie Sue, Abigail and Willie Mae are all now just over 2 years old! Pearlie Sue is living about 15 miles from us with a good friend, Abigail is living in Ausin Texas with one of my husbands former co workers, and Willie Mae was our pick of the litter (more about her later).
When that litter was a week old I went to the Hill Country of Texas to Dachshund Dude Ranch to pick up the most beautiful Cream dapple long hair girl we named Lulu Belle. Her AKC registered name is Ladybug's Kahlua and Cream Franks MLCD.
Below are 2 pictures of Lulu Belle. One as a puppy and one recent as a beautiful adult!
Then in March 2012 Our lil Stud man Freddie became a father for the first time to a litter of 3 beautiful pups. Of that litter one stayed with the dam's owner who sold him, one went to my sister in law (a stunning tiny lil black and tan longhair named Lexi) and we brought home our lil man Ham aka Ladybug's Atilla the Ham Franks ML. He is an amazing Dark Chocolate guy who loves to fetch and talk his monkey boy talk. Here are 2 pictures of Ham. One as a young pup and a recent one.
We are planning a winter 2013/2014 litter with Ham and Lulu Belle. We expect all long hairs in black and cream, cream, and red in both solid and dapple.
That's almost Everything that's new.....except for the fact that Stormy Dew and Freddie welcomed an amazing litter of 7 puppies on July1st 2012. Stormy had to have an emergency C section and it was touch and go with 2 of the pups for about 2 weeks but they all survived with some bottle feeding and alot of work! They are all in their forever homes...from 3 in California to 1 Florida, to 1 Kentucky, to 2 in Texas! We are so proud of these beautiful pups! Stormy was spayed as the pups were going to their forever homes at 4 months old and is now enjoying just being spoiled!
Our other Big News is Willie Mae from Stormy Dew's first litter with the outside stud Devon from H2k Dachshunds will be bred to our Freddie this fall for our second winter litter!
Will update on both litters later!
