The countdown; Dalina is now 8 weeks pregnant. Dalina is still doing great. She does take her walks more slowly and sometimes her belly gets in the way, making it difficult to lie down comfy. We
try to make her as comfortable as possible. The puppies are very active so we feel and see them moving a lot. So beautiful and special to watch. Dalina and we received some really
sweet cards, nice drawings, a delicious snack package and sweet messages. Super nice and thank you very much for that. From this week on rest is the focus.
Our dogs are rarely alone anyway, but from now on there will always be someone with Dalina so that she can deal with all the new signals that her body gives her in peace and with our support if
necessary. The welping box and pen is set up and everything is ready; just a little more patience, but how long will that be.........

And then Dalina was already 7 weeks pregnant, unbelievable how fast it goes. Fortunately she is doing very well. We sometimes feel the puppies moving in her belly, such a special feeling. Last week she had her second and last herpes vaccination. The vet thought she looked good. We'll be walking her for shorter distances from today, but more often. Yesterday we set up the whelping box, next week the mattress will be made to measure and we will set up the pen. This way Dalina, but also All Stars and Yob can get used to the new situation. Yob takes his role as “big brother” very seriously and has already tested the whelping box. He's such a sweet boy.

And another week has passed; Dalina is 6 weeks pregnant! Her belly is growing nicely and she is taking it a bit easier on our walks. She is not allowed to jump in the car herself anymore, so she
walks nicely over the ramp into the car. The postman delivered many packages last weeks. For example, we bought a new scale, toys, collars, snacks, new food bowls and new Dry beds have also
arrived from Germany. All those preparations are so much fun!

Dalina is exactly 5 weeks pregnant today. She is doing great. She is growing & eating well and still likes to go for a walk. The rest of the day she prefers to be petted on her belly. She's already halfway through the pregnancy, exciting!

Yeaaahhhh, Dalina is pregnant! Everything looked fine for now on the ultrasound. Her belly is already growing a little. We're really happy.

Dalina is doing very well. We don't notice much about her yet, except that she dreams a bit more and moans in her sleep. She is also incredibly cuddly, but she has always been that way. She is
still enjoying her life. Orthomolecular nutritionist Joke from Advies voor je Hond drew up an extensive nutritional plan for Dalina a few weeks ago. This keeps Dalina optimally healthy and it
promotes the good development of the (hopefully) future puppies. We're very happy with it and All Stars loves it too!
April 22nd
Dalina went to the vet today for a herpes vaccine. Not for herself, but to protect her puppies in case she is indeed pregnant. She is already in the second week of her pregnancy, how time flies!
April 18th
We're back from our trip to Croatia. Leonieke traveled with Joke Sauerbreij (Dalina's breeder), Martine stayed home with All Stars so that he didn't miss anything either. Fantastic that it was possible this way! It was a very long and tiring, but beautiful and unforgettable trip. Thank you so much for you hospitallity Lovorka! Dalina (I Nenya Ikigai of Dalmatey's Spot) & Kas (Kamp. Lacrima Christi Casino Royal) really liked each other. We hope that their romance was successful and that Dalina will have nice, sweet, beautiful and healthy puppies. You can find a photo album of our trip behind the button.

We received the results of Dalina her DNA test. Dalina will only have black spotted puppies and is free of the lemon gene. We are "patiently" waiting for her to come into heat. Then we will travel to Croatia to meet the future father of the puppies.
September 21th
We're really excited to announce our C litter. This litter is planned for spring/ summer '25 and the parents to be are our lovely girl I Nenya Ikigai of Dalmatey's Spot (Dalina) and the beautiful Lacrima Christi Casino Royal (Kas).
We think this is an amazing combination in health, exterior & type but also genetic very interesting. Both parents have bilateral hearing, HDA, ED0, complete dentition and complete nose & eye pigmentation. We will see what the future brings. Some pictures of Kas;
