Spike X Stafford Edition Sharaira

This litter was bred in cooperation with Stafford-Edition kennels, I was given the opportunity to breed a litter with one of his bitches, and I was glad to take that opportunity. I was to keep 1 bitch from that litter and the rest would be given to him, and I agreed upon that. Spike his owner wanted a pup in return for the stud service so also one pup would be given to him.

The litter was a big litter but Sharaira had some real trouble delivering the pups, there were 2 stillborn and 1 pup stayed behind wich turned into more trouble later on. The delivery took 32 hours before the 6 pups where out. There was a total of 2 bitches and 4 dogs, the stillborn pups were a dog and a bitch.

A week later Sharaira wasnt recovering as she shouldve been, and there were strange spots coming up on her left hind leg. So she had to be taken to the vet, and then we found out there was another pup that stayed behind inside her and it didnt make it and was causing an infection to Sharaira. Sharaira was then put on the proper medication and finally started to recover from the delivery.

The 8 weeks really flew by and it was already time for the pups to go to their new homes, so all 3 boys were picked up, 2 of them given to Stafford-Edition kennels and the other one given to Spike's owner. Then about 2 months later when Sharaira was fully recovered from everything, she also went back to Stafford-Edition kennels.

Sharaira is about 75% Rapparee line and 25% Psycho line, although you can see looks wise she pulls more to Psycho line, Spike is mainly Rapparee line. They both have got Proud Bandits Notorious Rastafari in the 4th gen and in Sharaira her pedigree he shows up a few more times.

With this litter being an outcross there is a lot of variety between the siblings but it also means that the genepool is expanded leaving room for more options in the future.
