UPDATE on page 2!
I got this email from Berendhaus Kennels today..
"Dear Ashley,
It is with much sadness and pain that I must report to you that Kelly has had a litter of 4 puppies of which non have survived. She was due this past weekend however last weekend she gave birth very unexpectedly to 4 puppies. The first two were born outdoors and Kelly never opened the sacks therefore they suffocated. The next one was born in the whelping box where is was but the umbilical cord had pulled out and it died very quickly. The last one was also born in the whelping box and we thought it was going to do ok because it was nursing and being pretty normal except that it appeared to not be fully mature in the lungs. It was breathing and doing well but we felt the pup needed a few more days before it should have been born. We did everything we could but eventually this pup also passed away. It lasted about 1 day.
Lana is very distraught as we have never lost a litter of puppies before. I am also upset but handle this much better than Lana. Kelly is doing well and we will probably not breed her again. We suspect that the reason she gave birth a week early is due to the fact that we had to move and she was in a new place possibly stressed because of this."
:( I'm so disappointed. I'm having the worst luck with getting a puppy.
There's another litter of Malinois (already born) that I found out about after I put my deposit down with Berendhaus.. I've emailed him and asked if he had any pups left. If not, I will be first on the waiting list for a (hopefully Blue!) Sheltie pup from Kelly (Jordan/Wolfsoul's boss). Hopefully a wee one will be coming home soon..

I'm sorry, Ashley. :( That's so sad for everyone involved.
I hope the other breeder will still have a pup available for you, and if not, hopefully you'll have better luck getting a Sheltie pup.

That's too bad Ash -
:( poor babies.
Will they give you your deposit back so it can help with this other litter?
((hugs))

Oh, how awful...it's like fading kitten syndrome....
Binka...if they are not going to breed the mom any more, would they be looking for a new home for her? I know it's not a baby one...but just a thought....

Staci: Yep, they'll be returning my deposit.
Catty1: I never thought of that.. I will have to ask them. :)
The man with the Malinois litter got back to me. He has one male left.. I'm torn because good Malinois breeders are hard to come by in Canada. The pup will be shown too.. I don't know if my two boys would accept an unneutered Malinois. :\ I guess I'll keep looking for Belgian litters..

Oh Ashley- I am so sorry.. I am not sure what to say. Maybe it was the stress of the move- hard to say- but their decission not to breed her again is a very responsible answer. I know this is heart breaking- ... I never lost a litter ( says Prayers quickly) but I know it can happen- and even the best of breeders.. Life is fragile- especially for a new born.. ..

I really feel for you. I know how awful it is when you are that close. Poor Momma and you, poor breeders too, as I am certain they were looking forward to the patter of tiny nails also!

I'm sorry, Ashley. =( That is so sad.
I know how it feels to be this let down, but trust me, everything will be better when you find the perfect puppy. I'm so glad I didn't end up with the first puppy I was going to get, because I have Fozzie now.

Thanks everyone.. I've been looking forward to a Belgian puppy since early last year. It looks like I finally found her! :D
I've contacted Bayarea Malinois in California. MaryAnn has one female left (pick of the litter in her and her vet's opinion!) She's a bit older than I was hoping for.. but still very much a pup. She's 14 weeks now (born Oct 25) and is just BEAUTIFUL! She comes from some lovely dogs.. daddy is an OT Vitosha dog. I LOVE THEM!
MaryAnne hasn't been afraid of saying no to interested buyers and has been holding her back for someone who will compete with her. :D :D :D She thinks I'm a great fit for Izzy (pup's name.. will def. be changing that :p) We're just working on details now.. mostly just figuring out how we're gonna get her to Seattle so I can pick her up.
YAY!! :D :D :D

Ohh I am so glad you found a puppy! And 14 weeks old is a perfect age IMO.. She got the benefit of staying with a breeder for socialization and interaction, not to mention housebreaking..- I can't wait for more pictures after her arrival.

02-01-2007, 02:31 PM
:D Thanks guys. I'm so darn excited!
I've been trying to come up with names since early last year. I still haven't decided LOL. The ones I'm thinking about are:
Havoc, Keeva, and Nevaeh
I really like Havoc because Malinois are so busy and always on the go.. but I will wait until I meet her. I'm having a heck of a time trying to come up with registered names though. :rolleyes:

02-01-2007, 02:46 PM
Oh, goodness - she's beautiful in that gawky-puppy stage! All ears and elbows and eagerness ... I do like the name Havoc - or Loki (Norse mischief-maker), as you can just see the mischief in her eyes!

I was wondering if you were going to keep it to your "K" theme.
:)but Havoc is cute too.

She is freakin adorable!!! Oh gosh. How exciting.
I think you should stick with the "K" theme, but I'm not sure she looks like a Keeva. Who knows!

It's so sad to hear about the Malinois pups, though. :(

CONGRATS ASHLEY!
It sounds like she was made for you, which is absolutely awesome. I'm so happy you found the perfect puppy, you deserve it after all this time. I felt the exact same after finding Fozzie right after my let-down with the Cardi litter. Just so you know... I would've totally driven her from Cali to Seattle! :< Oh well, hopefully I can meet her someday. Fozzie would luurve her, and I think Gonzo would adore your Sheltie boys.

MaryAnn was just telling me about how she has started to hop on TOP of her crate and jump in the living room... I'm starting to think she might be a "Havoc" LOL

ahaha, Fozzie did the same thing... jumped on top of his crate to escape his x-pen. And it took me literally weeks to figure it out! She sounds like lots of fun.
I'm trying to be patient about pics of the little dollface, but it isn't easy!
