We have researched and looked for this sire for over 2 years now. Last summer, we had the opportunity to meet the breeder of the amazing boy we ended up choosing, Hamilton, who won Best of Opposite Sex at Westminster when at a dog show in Vermont. (Hamilton lives in New Hampshire). So, lots of planning involved prior to this breeding.

Week of June 12th, 2023: Lilibeth visited the vet several times this week to have her blood drawn and progesterone levels tested. That let us know when to have Hamilton's breeder send the goods from New Hampshire to Alabama (next day air via Fedex). She collected and mailed on Monday 6-19, and we are hoping for it to arrive at vet by 10:30 AM tomorrow, Tuesday 6-20. If it does, and all goes well, it will make it in time (a 24 hour max for chilled semen) for an AI. Lilibeth is ready for sure ... she has been driving every one crazy for the past 2 days ;)

6/20/23 - Well, it turns out Fedex let us down. We paid to have it "guaranteed" for next day delivery BY 10:30 AM (it was actually brought to the airport in New Hampshire on 6/19 at 5:30 PM and due to arrive in Alabama at our vet on 6/20/23 by 10:30 AM). We brought Lilibeth to the vet to be there "on the ready" for the AI whenever the shipment arrived. By noon, our vet tech messaged to tell me "it's not here .... this is unusual". I finally got in touch with someone at Fedex and the woman put me on hold to inquire .... finally finding out that the package WAS STILL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE and HAD NEVER BEEN PUT ON THE PLANE! She then continued, "but good news, it's due to arrive on time by the end of the day" .... Not. So, at 4PM the sire's breeder who shipped it got an update which said "good news, your package is due by 10:30 AM as promised ... but it's not due until 6/21/23. Yep, the semen is long dead. The package did arrive by 10:30 AM, but 2 days later ... a day late. Alas, this breeding with Hamilton was a total bust all thanks to Fedex but we will use Hammy for a future litter tba ... more soon.

So, continuing with Plan B, 6/20/23 PM, we went ahead and did a natural breeding with our Champion Parker (CH Wright's Triumphant Tiger Eye at Pickwick), a repeat breeding of our Poldark litter (here's a photo of the Poldark puppies):

August 21, 2023, Lilibeth free whelped an 8 oz. healthy, fully developed and beautiful boy. We went to the vet later that day so that they could both be checked, did an x-ray to make sure there were no other pups and no afterbirth etc. and the doctor also listened to the puppy's lungs which were clear, and heartbeat which was super strong.

We have decided to name him Theophilus (Theo for short). Jeff had a friend named Theophilus (Thump for short) in Junior High School who protected him from the 'thugs'. The name means "love of God" or "loved by God" and it just seemed dignified enough for this beautiful, strong, freewhelped! puppy. Also, there was indeed a character named Theo in Bridgerton ... Theo Sharpe ... a printer's assistant who fights for justice and women's rights. His registered name will be Pickwick's Ruler of the Ton.

Important Dates:
Progesterone tests (week of Jun 12); Sat 6/27/23=4.7; 6/20/23 = 20
Natural breeding June 20, 2023
Whelp date: 8/21/23 (Day 63 from ovul = 8/19/23; Day 63 from tie = 8/22/23)
