We are expecting puppies at the beginning of December. Toulitka hurried up with the matching, probably because of the warm autumn, and she liked her carefully chosen suitor Kuki Mont Arwen very much. The mating was exemplary and so after four weeks, the vet had to confirm that the puppies were developing well in their mother's tummy.
When I got my first Brabant from Mrs. Jana Mikulecka from Silvano kennel in 2002, I had no idea what the consequences would be :) Griffons and Brabants are really contagious, they infect you with their sweet presence and unpretentiousness. They charmed me and the whole family and today they just belong to us.
After a long time I am adding new information to our GRAND PETROS blog. And what happened in 7 months?
We have a new show season and the first international show DUO CACIB in BRNO, only 300 km from home.

Today we decided to take pictures of puppies. Vanilla, Verbena, Viola, Václavka, Vistaria and Vilinka are three weeks old, so we decided it was the right time. Plus, an opportunity for nice photos with Christmas atmosphere.
Today our vet confirmed the pregnancy of our female Rebarborka GRAND PETROS, we are very happy that we are on our way to interesting puppies by red petit brabancon male SHEVILAN Theodor. He lives near Golčův Jeníkov with Mrs. Kateřina Dušková (Modrý dukát), but he comes from Latvia from Shevilan kennel of Alex & Ilana Shevsky.
Expected puppies are here! Toulitka and Leošek have 6 puppies, 5 girls and 1 boy. Toulitka managed her first delivery in a normal way, without any problems. She is a model, but very tired mother. Luckily she is enjoying her food, and regularly replenishes her energy to feed and clean the puppies. The puppies are gaining weight regularly and at...
Well, I don't know, I guess I do, I'm not gonna plan ahead anymore. You can't control nature, and if you calculate that Rebeca will beseason in December, the baby will start season in November. The stud dog we chose was not available in November, so we chose again. We chose Rebeca's beautiful red Petit Brabancon Theodore Shevilan.
