Rey delivered her puppies, 4 girls (Red, Purple, Yellow, and Pink) and 2 boys (Blue and Green), early on Sunday, November 19th, 2023. Since their father's name is Nixon, I decided this litter's "theme" would be Criminals, and their new families got to choose their registered names within this theme. I refer to the puppies by their collar colours until their new families have picked their name!

We’ve kept Yellow, now known as Alibi, BPISS CH Curlious I Rest My Case RN VN NTD .

Health Testing Results

Both Rey and Nixon are clear/normal for the gene responsible for both Xanthinuria and Juvenile Dialated Cardiomyopathy, which makes the puppies of this litter clear by parentage. Rey is a carrier of Von Willebrands, but Nixon is clear. This means none of the puppies would inherit two genes for Von Willebrands, but they could be carriers like their mother. Carriers do not show any sympoms, but it is important to breed them with clear mates, so none of their offspring will be affected. Each puppy in the litter was tested, and here are the resuts:

GCH Curlious Book 'Em At Dragonsong	Blue	MT-VW274/2M-PI	Clear
RBIS GCH Curlious Devil's Advocate RN S CA SDIN VN TDCH IBRH IBAR SD-A RAT	Green	MT-VW275/2M-PI-CAR	Carrier
Curlious I Fought The Law	Red	MT-VW276/2F-PI	Clear
Curlious Greasin' The Wheels	Purple	MT-VW277/2F-PI	Clear
BPISS CH Curlious I Rest My Case RN VN NTD	Yellow	MT-VW278/2F-PI	Clear
Curlious Machine Gun Molly	Pink	MT-VW279/2F-PI	Clear

prcd-PRA Testing

A full DNA health panel from Embark performed on our keeper puppy Alibi unexpectedly identified her as a carrier of prcd-PRA. Following this discovery, I tested her mother, Rey, and found that she was also a carrier. Other owners of dogs related to Rey subsequently tested their dogs as well, identifying several additional carriers alongside family members who tested clear.

I offered to arrange prcd-PRA testing for the other puppies from this litter, who had already gone to their new homes. Many owners declined, as they had no plans to breed their dogs and knowing their dog's carrier status would not affect their care or quality of life. For subsequent litters from Rey, all puppies were tested for both von Willebrand disease (vWD) and prcd-PRA before going to their new homes

Weight Chart

I take the puppies weights twice a day for the first week, once a day for the next two weeks, and then weekly. This chart is listed in pounds.
