    "Carmen"

    "Riley"

              Riley is a very handsome, well-put together Vizsla who is intelligent and eager to please. Riley was bred by Mark and Bonnie Goodwein (Koppertone Vizlsas) and is out of CH Koppertone's California Dreamin" ROM) and CH Russet Leather Kilkenny. This is Riley's first litter of puppies. Riley and four of his siblings earned  show championships, which illustrates the beauty and consistency of his breeding. This is Riley's first litter, and we are very excited about this litter's unusual and unique pedigree. For a five generation pedigree of the Carmen-Riley puppies, please click HERE. 

     

     

    Carmen's Pregnancy 

     

              Carmen and Riley's first day of breeding was March 16, 2015. Many thanks to Mark and Bonnie Goodwein (Koppertone Vizslas) for their hospitality and all their help with this breeding, and to Stacie for rearranging her schedule so that Carmen and Riley could have their "dates."

              Pregnancy was confirmed by ultrasound on Friday, April 17th, 2015

    Day 18

    Day 26

    Day 61

    Day 63

    On Thursday, May 14th, 2015, Carmen had a pre-whelping x-ray taken to see how many puppies she was having. The general consensus was at least six, and as many as eight puppies.

    Carmen's Labor and Delivery

    Carmen started going into labor on Sunday night, around midnight. She continued having contractions on and off for several hours. On Monday morning, May 18th, she kept looking for likely places to have the puppies, including an area under the kids' playstructure and underneath Evelyn's bed. When the time came to actually having the puppies, though, Carmen agreed that the birthing suite I had set up for her was the perfect place to have her babies.

    Carmen has her first puppy, a boy, at 11: 32 AM, and then has another boy at 11:48 AM. Carmen takes a break for a couple of hours, then has her first girl at 3:12 PM, and then another boy at 3:32 PM. An hour later, Carmen has her fourth boy at 4:22 PM. She has another girl at 5:22 PM and finishes delivering her final puppy, a girl, at 7:12 PM.

     

    Final puppy count - 7 puppies, with 4 boys and 3 girls. Carmen is a terrific mom - very dedicated and oh so proud of her babies!
