2/21/07 VENIE HAD 6 BEAUTIFUL & HEALTHY PUPPIES ON FEBRUARY 21ST!
WE WILL HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF PUPPIES AVAILABLE FOR NEW HOMES. CONTACT US IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN A SPOT ON OUR PUPPY WAITING LIST NOW - IT FILLS UP FAST!
We had decided to breed Venie to Mikko at this heat cycle. She had other ideas and decided that Marty was the MAN that she truly wanted. :)
Since both males covered her, we will be DNA testing all of the puppies to prove parentage.
These puppies will have the potential to be TOP quality show dogs, and I'm extremely excited to see what we get out of Venie.
Mikko, Marty and Venie have many strong conformational qualities and they have outgoing and strong personalities that make them a handful (and excellent candidates for showing and doing things with)! They all have a strong chase drive and an urge to please their owner. I see them passing all of these traits, and more, to their puppies.
These puppies will be strong and active and will ONLY be suited to families and homes that are active and experienced with the terrier attitude. We want a "happily ever after" fit for everyone.
If you're interested in being considered for a future puppy, please email us at Triumph Kennel.

enlarge 56KB, 576x383 1 Our beautiful and alpha Venie was bred!
We planned on covering her with Mikko, but Venie had other plans and invited Marty to do the job, instead.
enlarge 60KB, 576x385 2 We planned this breeding to be done by Mikko. Venie had other ideas. We did get a couple of ties between her and Mikko.
enlarge 64KB, 576x498 3 Marty is considered a "mature male" - but younger than we had wanted for his first breeding. Marty was more than happy to jump to the task and did very well! :)
enlarge 46KB, 576x384 4 The Christmas 2006 Trio. With Venie in the middle, will it be Mikko pups? Marty pups? Or even a litter sired by both males? Time and DNA testing will tell!
enlarge 38KB, 385x576 5 Venie on 12-21-07.
enlarge 42KB, 576x389 6 Venie and Marty on Christmas Day ( her last day of standing heat). Notice how tucked and trim her waist is (between her rib cage and hind legs).
enlarge 53KB, 576x500 7 1-22-07 top view of Venie. This is day #34 (out of 63 days). I started noticing changes in her a week ago. Her "waist" is thickening and she's more docile than normal.
enlarge 62KB, 576x537 8 1-22-07 She no longer has a tucked up waist! She really is noticeably pregnant on just day #34.
enlarge 39KB, 576x382 9 1-28-07 Day 39. I'm noticing more changes in her body. Her mamm. glands are starting to enlarge and get ready for milk production, and you may notice that her belly is starting to drop further.
enlarge 43KB, 576x480 10 1-28-07. Day #39 - do you notice that she's grown in the 5 days since her last picture? She still has 23 more days until her official due date.
enlarge 45KB, 576x384 11 2-3-07. Sunbathing with Mikko on her day #45. Her girlie figure is definitely GONE!
enlarge 64KB, 576x497 12 Day 45.
enlarge 40KB, 576x384 13 2-3-07. Venie is still willing to play "tug-of-war" with Marty and Jessie.
enlarge 48KB, 384x576 14 Day 45 top view. Her belly is expanding and stretching out. I'm rubbing cocoa butter on it a few times a day because her skin is very tight and drying out.
enlarge 58KB, 576x524 15 2/11/07. Day 53. I truly cannot believe that she still technically has 10 days before her due date!
enlarge 48KB, 576x461 16 Day 53. Poor thing! She sleeps (and snores) a lot now a-days. She moves very slow and grunts when trying to get on the couch. I'm sure all the women out there who have been pregnant can sympathize with her!
enlarge 51KB, 576x555 17 Venie in her "maternity coat". She visited Jakob's class on Friday...I had to make her a new outfit that she could fit into for the visit. Marty always has to be right in the action, too!
enlarge 40KB, 576x383 18 Venie's pedigree. Larger readable version from direct link through MY DOG'S PEDIGREES on HOME PAGE. You can also find the pedigree for Mikko & Marty there.
enlarge 44KB, 576x366 19 Day #59. I think that Venie is ready for these pups to be born. They're moving around a lot and based on her size, I think that there's quite a few in there!
enlarge 42KB, 576x333 20 2-17-07 Day #59 Enjoying her sunbath! I bet the pups like it too!
enlarge 61KB, 576x470 21 Sunbathing with Marty. Day #59. These will probably be the last "Venie while pregnant" pics. We should be announcing the blessed event on our next post. Please say a prayer for an easy labor and healthy puppies.
