Welcome our newest "Designer"!

Welcome to the World! Introducing "La Coquette Baby Dior"!

Amorette's Angel Boy is Here!

On Saturday, October 2, 2010 we packed an early in labor Amorette off to the vet's for a c-section.  X-ray verified one large well developed baby and vet suggested that a c-section was best.  We had a bath 2 days earlier and mom pony tailed and vet wrapped the hair so it would all stay nice and beautiful!  The vet's office loved the pony's wrapped in pink for the mama princess. All went well and our little prince arrived safe and sound and weighed in a 7.25 ounces.  Mom and baby are doing fabulously!

Can you guess the sex of our upcoming Arrival?

We ultra sounded Amorette at 21 days and was able to see she had just one baby on the way.  At 35 days we saw all the baby parts and organs and all looked great!

 Here is the Ultra Sound Photo at 35 days!

At 51 days we saw this!  It is a photo taken from above the stomach area between the legs.  Can you guys guess what we are having?

If you guessed BOY! Then you are right!

Who's the Daddy?

La Coquette Cotons is pleased to announce that the father or Amorette's upcoming arrival is Multi-CH and Multiple BIS Mi-Toi's Gianni Versace!

Our Lady in Waiting!

Our "Princess" is patiently waiting for her first little one.  She is looking quite lovely and is keeping her girlish figure for a bit longer!

A Little Good News for La Coquette Cotons!

Well it has been a bit challenging this year to get a stork arrival here at La Coquette Cotons but it looks like we are headed in the right direction.  After discovering Vanilla had a vaginal bacterial infection which was a spermicidal bacteria and then finding out while doing the breeding's with Versace she gave the bacteria to him and then having Amorette come into season while his sperm count was then compromised and he could give her the bacteria, we had to do some quick thinking and maneuvering.

After some contemplation, testing, antibiotics and a fertility enhancer and a quick ship of Semen from New Jersey here is the news.  Vanilla should be all cleared up and ready for her next season to be bred.  We will do another vaginal culture and sensitivity test before breeding next time and all should be good.  Versace is done with his antibiotics and is on a fertility enhancer and after about 90 days we will test him again and make sure he is clear (he should be fine) and ready to go again.  Amorette ovulated and gave us just one day to get semen here on time and we were able to do a surgical insemination as the semen did not come in in great quantity.  After all of this here is the big news! We ultra-sounded Amorette on day 21 and it seems we have 1 little bambina/bambino on the way! We were able to see a good strong heartbeat! Here is our first photo!

Our Little Angel!

Sometimes the Best of Plans

Well, today I was hoping to post exciting news about the upcoming litter from Vanilla, but we took her in for her ultra sound and found no babies in the basket :(( .  She it appears is having a false pregnancy.  All the signs looked positive but for the first time since I have been breeding dogs our girl appears to have not taken.  I will check again in a few days but the signs are not hopeful for babies this season with Vanilla.  We will breed her on her next season and hope for good news.

Amorette is in early season and we are hopeful for her babies.

We will keep you posted.  At times like this I try to remember that patience is a virtue.  Good things come to those who wait, so I will wait patiently!

Puppy News is Coming!

It is an exciting time at "La Coquette"!  Amorette has now passed her last health test with an OFA Excellent on her Hip Prelim.  She has just come into season this week and we are looking at the possibility of breeding her in the next week or so.  For those waiting for her babies this is the beginning of the process.  We will do her first Progesterone Testing on Wednesday, July 28th!

Vanilla is looking pregnant and we have her scheduled for her UltraSound on Monday, July 26th!  We are meeting with a new UltraSound Tech who is known for getting a good puppy count.  We are hopeful to have an idea of how many ahead of time.  The count will be posted on Monday evening!
