Born 11/03/2009!
Well after a long day of labor, Hazee has given birth to 7 healthy puppies-4 males, 3 females. We've posted a couple of shots taken within moments of the last puppy being born. We will not post individual pictures until mommy and babies get a couple of days of rest. There's a possibility that one or more of the "tan" sables that I have listed are in fact, heavily chocolate sabled. When their nose leather color fills in, we will know for sure.

These three monkeys are so fun!! They've made much progress since the 4 week update. They've learned to lap water and crunch kibble on their own. Sola still chooses to let them nurse several times a day. She's a very good mother and is very protective of her babies. In this 2 week period, they've been introduced to several different sounds, surfaces, and people. They've been wormed for the third time, had another toenail trim, but still no bath. It hasn't been necessary as Mommy Sola still licks their fur off! They've been given their first puppy vaccination as of 11/06/2009. Not long now before they will be joining their new families. We're SURE that this trio will add life to their new homes!
We hope you enjoy the photo update. They were all wanting to play and so getting these pictures was not an easy task.
They are expected to finish in the 13-14 lb. range and be 13-14 inches tall when grown. The litter is dual registered with AKC-FSS and UKC. They are sired by Dan, UKC Champion and their dam, Sola is a UKC Grand Champion. Complete details on both parents below.
All three puppies have already been adopted, so we have no availabilities from this litter. For inquiring about the availability of a pick from another litter of ours, please CLICK HERE to Email Kenann Country Kennels
This album will grow while adding the pups out of our 1st Reesie and Archie litter, as they enter the Show Ring. We are so proud and delighted with these pups, and a special thank you goes out to their devoted owners, and handlers. Sheila with Wendy, Lexie with Shrek, and Leonard with Louey have all finished their pups before they were a year old. Please take a look often to see how they do. Thanks for coming by, Mary Ann and Dean.
The third annual 1/1 (1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division) Golf tournament took place 2 November 2009 at the Newport Beach Country Club, Newport Beach, California.
The citizens of Newport Beach once again proved their generosity and willingness to support 1/1, their Adopted Battalion. On a beautiful day, beginning with bright sunshine at start of the 0900 registration, players gathered for the opening ceremony.
After the tournament, players, 1/1 Marines, and guests enjoyed a reception on the club patio, followed by dinner in the dining room and an enthusiastic auction of several premium level prizes.
Distinguished guests and 1/1 Tournament players included MajGen Jed Pearson USMC(ret), Col Chris Bourne former CO 1/1, LtCol Craig Wonson, Commanding Officer of the battalion, LtCol Doug Steele 1st Marine Regiment, LtCol Rob Schwartz HQ 1st MarDiv, Maj Douglas Downey, 1/1 Executive Officer, 1st Marine Regiment Sergeant Major Brian Zickefoose,and 1/1 Sergeant Major, Troy Dabney. As well as Marines of 1/1 and HQ 1st MarDiv, guests included Marines from I Marine Expeditionary Force, also headquartered at Camp Pendleton. USMC combat vehicles and weapons on display courtesy 1/1. Other USMC displays courtesy Marine Corps Recruiting Orange County.
1st Marine Division is the largest, oldest, and most decorated division in the United States Marine Corps.
The 2009 Tournament Chair was once again Mr. Dan Marcheano, Newport Beach resident and owner of the Arches restaurants, assisted by select members of the Newport Beach 1/1 Adoption Committee and other volunteers.
1/1 returned in late July 2009 from their most recent deployment with 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, 1/1's fifth deployment since its Adoption by the community of Newport Beach in December 2003.
100% of the proceeds from the 1/1 Golf Tournament will be used to support the Marines, sailors, and families of 1/1, both when the Battalion is deployed and when it's at Camp Pendleton.
