Welcome to the World

I am pleased to annouce the arrive of the Fanuilos B Litter.

Our Freyja x Devil litter was only one in size but the puppy is a big boy.

He was born at 8.44am on the 3rd of June and weighed in at a massive 718 grams.

This litter is the(“B”eastie Boys) Litter so we have decided to give this boy the kennel name Fanuilos Hey Ladies.

Hey Ladies was born via a natural delivery.  Thanks to all the efforts of Dr John Watts at Wyndham Vet Clinic we avoided a C-Section for this singleton litter.  We had assumed this would be the method of delivery.

Thank you to Monash Vet Clinic for conducting the AI which lead to  the successful litter.

And again a very massive thank you to Nicole Henschke at von der Nordhelle Kennels in Germany.  Without all of Nicole’s efforts we would not have this boy whom we hope will grow into a a stunning looking dog like his sire and dam.

I’d also like to thank Clare van der Wolde who was by my side when Freyja gave birth and is currently puppy sitting for us.

Freyja has Artificial Insemination

We have started the process of Artificial Insemination for Freyja for her first litter.  The sire selected is Derwish Devil von der Nordhelle.  This will be Freyja’s first litter and Devil’s first litter in Australia.

Freyja (Alpinarc Envy Me) came into season on the 21th of March.  Her first progesterone test was on Monday the 23rd of March, or Day 3
Day 3 – 3.8nmol

Day 5 – 2.91nmol

Day 7 – 3.80nmol

Day 10 -14.8nmol

Day 11 - 25.2 nmol

Freyja's Progesterone Chart

 Freyja was ready for AI, and was taken to Monash Vet Clinic on the Wednesday night for her operation on Thursday.  By Thursday, Day 13,  her progesterone levels had reached 70 nmols, which would be her peak.  The operation occurred without a hitch and now we just have the waiting game.

Thanks to Wyndham Vet Clinic for doing the Progesterone testing and Monash Vet Clinic for doing the insemination.
