Bo has been confirmed in whelp!
As we would love to have a Kanyon son here
at Shombay to continue our line, we decided to repeat the mating between our 2 beautiful hounds.
Puppies are due
around mid August.
For more information on Bo & Kanyon, please look at their own pages.

After a long but exciting night of waiting, playing scrabble, drinking copious amounts of coffee (for us)
and walking about, digging and panting (for Bo) at 7.40am on Sunday 18th August 2013, the first bitch puppy was
born. She was a very healthy 700grams! The 8 remaining puppies (3 more bitches, 5 dogs) were born over the next 8 hours. All
the pups averaged about 600-700g each, so I bet Bo was albeit very tired, but very relieved to safely deliver these beautiful
new arrivals into the world!
Ashton our son played such an important role with the
puppy’s development. He was in the whelping box with them from the first day, helping us clean the whelping box and
gently handling the puppies. They soon became “toddler-proof”…..accustomed to noises, vibrations and handling
from a very capable and mature young lad, eager to learn and watch his “little rascals” as he calls them, grow
into lovely, well socialised pups.
