turn right. Some pups always searched to go right and to go over the pack of bottles, so I repeat this each time they
came back from the garden on 11/04/08 but also on 12/04/08 and on 13/04/08 : then all the pups turned "directly" left
and then right. So on 14/03/08, I put an obstacle (a small cardboard box) to make the pups turn left towards the door
before coming in the room ; the first time, most of the pups did it "naturally", but some showed hesitation, and Drezbor
didn't find the right way : she began to throw herself against a pack of bottle, she didn't succeed to go over it, then she
did the same with the cardboard box, but then, she succeeded to climb over (inside !) it and to come inside the room
without turning left as the other did.
properly), then I put their plates on it. At the beginning, they showed difficulties, some tried to go under the fence, but
they managed to eat. I let the fence and I put again their plates in the end of the afternoon and all the following day
(16/04/08), then the pups didn't show any hesitation any more. On 17/04/08, I put the same fence but it was
precariously balanced, the pups showed more difficulties.
from the garden. I didn't put obstacles enough and they preferred go down than walk on the plank (except Deirwenn).
Some pups had difficulties to climb on it too. I put more obstacles along the plank, then I did this several times in the
same day and the following one, and then the pups showed no more hesitation.
searched to go right in front of them ; Delkael succeeded to climb over the fence.
In the evening, I saw Dholonna and Deyvrik : Dholonna really seemed to "attack ferociously" Deyvrik who tried to
escape !
paper was "following" down the ground, and the pups had to walk under it. Some did without problems, some showed
a few difficulties, and then some tried to play with the paper. I repeat the same thing several times the same day and

hesitation. When the tyre was lying on the ground, some of them liked to play with it, coming into and out of it. I repeat
this several times this first day, and the following one, I put the tyre under something so it was a little higher : the pups
came through without hesitation, except Drezbor.
Some pups weren't disturbed at all, some other seemed to try to avoid it when they could. I repeat this several times. I
also began to put a collar during a few minutes (before they smashed the collars to bits ... )
their mother on a lead, I tried to make them walk on a lead : of course that was very difficult ! I did this during a few
minutes with the 4 first pups, and then I did the same with the 4 other pups.
with each other. The following day, I put the pups inside 2 carrier boxes, and then I put the boxes in my car and drove to
the vet. I could stay with them all the time. I took each pup, one by one, out of a carrier box, went into another room to
weigh him precisely, came back to one of the vets who examined them and then anaesthetized them - this while the
second vet was tattooing the previous pup. The vet didn't find any problem and noticed that all the males had already
got testicles in their places. When I had them inside my hands or my arms, all the pups were completely relaxed
except Dolmenih ; when I took them closely so the vet shaved and jabbed, all the pups didn't react except Delkael and
Deyvrik, who tried to escape from my hands ; Dolmenih was relaxed in my hands and in my arms but only when he
wasn't on the table ! I wasn't astonished that Delkael refused to be got by force, I have already noticed this in his
behaviour, but also in Dorricq's one, and I was rather surprised that Dorricq didn't react at all. But it seems that Dorricq
wasn't so dominating that I had thought, and a few hours ago I had precisely seen Deyvrik playing dominating posture
to Dorricq who was trying to escape.
Since Snasha's death, I wanted to keep a bitch for me, I don't want to take risk to lose this blood line, and an accident
could so easily happen to my only bitch, especially with a reckless bitch like Bocquefeuille - the little tomboy has turned
into a daredevil ... A D-bitch would be a kind of "spare bitch" ! I chose quickly the one I wanted to keep for me : Drezbor ;
I chose Drezbor not - not only - because of her ears and her dark eyes (and darker eyes are precisely the inheritance of
the late Snasha), but too, and perhaps mainly because she has always been very close to me and she had always
shown a sweet character - and another thing too : she reminds of Fango's blood line !
Dirryana and Dholonna were reserved by two sisters who wanted to train sport with them, but it was too good to be true
! When the pups were ready to go, the two sisters didn't gave any news anymore, they quite disappeared ! I had to
search new owners and so Dholonna and Dirryana had been the two latest pups to leave.
The (truly this time) much longed-for Deirwenn went to her new home as soon as it was possible, that it to say the
following day after our trip to the vet.
As for the males, I enjoyed very much Delkael's morphology and expression, and I searched to keep him either with a
breeding contract or with a co-owning one. I didn't find anyone in France for this, but then a Belgian asked me for a pup
for dogshows : and so Delkael is now living in Belgian, but he's still my property, all his official "papers" are still in
France, and it will be so at least till he will be X-rayed for HD in France, and till he will take the French exam for
breeding ; then it will be probably possible to get export pedigree and make him be registered in Belgium ; Delkael is
meant to be showed in Belgium and in France and possibly in other countries.
Deyvrik is the poorest one of the litter ; he left home to a family with several children, the eldest one wanted to train
agility with him, unfortunately Deyvrik died because of an act of carelessness from the little girl of the family (who let the
garden door open ...)
The sweet Dolmenih left home to enlighten the lone days of a woman, while Dorricq became the second dog of a
family with several children.
Then Dholonna found a new family to be their pet, but at this moment I had got problems with my computer ; I couldn't
use my computer during several days, more than a whole week, and during this time I couldn't search a new owner for
the sweet Dirryana who stayed at home longer ; of course I put ads as soon as I could use again my computer, and
three days after, Dirryana was reserved ans she left home the following day (on 27/05/08) to become the pet of a lone
woman too.
