the PYRWILD A-Litter

24 June 2023 by pyrwild, posted in breeding, photos, updates

After many, many years of planning & dreaming the PYRWILD A-Litter came into fruition ! This was an outcross (FR x PL) litter that has a pedigree that is full of exceptionally talented working + sport dogs. You can see all about it on the A-Litter page along with the weekly updates & photos.

I am so proud of my special-special French girl Onnea for creating these amazing puppies & being such a wonderful mother. It was an absolute joy to raise these puppies & I couldn’t be more proud of them. They have excellent type which showed from a young age – along with really beautiful heads. They were lively and vigorous from the day they were born. They loved to play and explore with confidence & curiosity. There was no doubt how special these puppies are and just how bright their futures would be ! 🌟

The dynamic duo is PYRWILD Astro Action “Axl” the sweet little black boy & PYRWILD Altered State “Astra” the sassy little harlequin girl.

2022 Recap

A little late posting this recap (what a shocker, haha)… it was a quieter year as far as competing went. After a really terrible experience at an agility trial early on in the year we stopped trialing agility in the PNW. Instead, focused on obedience with Zae & did other fun things like FastCat + herding. The dogs went up to WA for AKC herding instinct tests & also did some herding lessons in summer/early fall. The big news of the year was that Midna came home from France (after a long wait !) & that Onnea was bred + had her puppies. Having a litter has been a big thing in planning for nearly a decade now & the A-litter did not disappoint. ❤️

The skipskaps had their first lure coursing (AKC fastcat) competition this past weekend and they had a blast !! Here are some photos of them flying after the ‘bunny’ 💕 Hoping to get their Bcat’s eventually.

In other news, Onnea finished her last two Rally Excellent legs, earned her RE title and is now eligible for her Pyrshep Versatility Silver award ! So proud of her.

Looking forward to her puppies later this fall. I am currently taking a waiting list for those that are interested. Don’t hesitate to reach out !

Puppies later this fall !

My long awaited first litter will be this fall ! My first litter has been a looong time coming & this combo has been several years in the making ! The planning started in 2020, both Pipas and Onnea have passed their health testing with flying colors in the meantime & I have imported frozen semen from France for the breeding. I am very excited about this combo !! Onnea is an excellent bitch who is very dear to my heart & Pipas is a handsome, open young male with two very talented parents. His mom competes in agility & his dad competed in French ring, herding & agility.

Both poil long and face rase type are expected from this combo. Very traditional in type. Puppies will be black or harlequin. Please see the Litters page for additional information this litter & my breeding.

The beautiful & talented future mother… 💘

In other news, Zae has earned his Open Obedience title (CDX) and earned his last leg with a WIN in the Open A class !! So proud of him. There are only a small handful of Pyrsheps who have earned this title.

Here is some video of his winning run.

Zae is very close to this Pyrshep Verstatility MASTERS award ! The highest award through our breed club… and we still have plenty of titles on our ‘to-do list’ 😵 He truly is an exceptional dog who is extraordinary at everything he does. I am beyond proud of him. 💕
