Solo de Belcanto Allegro just started showing
with Tiara the
first weekend of
March
2006. He is now a UKC champion. At
the time the puppies were born, he is competing for
his Grand Championship. He is a wonderful, calm dog
with outstanding character and a loving soul. Allegro is
beautifully bred with a very low inbreeding ratio
pedigree.
Dam:
"D'Aire"
(AKA DeDe)
CHIC
miniature/standard combination
AKC and UKC.
UWP, GRCH Tiara D'Aire, this
will be her second litter. D'Aire was the only
Standard Poodle with a performance title
(United Weight Puller), thus determining her a
"Total Dog" in the UKC Conformation Top Ten
for the breed in 2003. She
has a Reserve Best In Multi-Breed Show win to her credit and
is out of one of the top dams that
is also known for winning at
agility competitions . In
addition to her weight pull title,
she has legs in AKC and UKC agility that
she obtained last year and then her trainer (Julie)
was injured. Plans
are to
continue, but right now she has some promising puppies that
she is thrilled to raise! "Dede
is the easiest dog to communicate with that I have ever
trained. She
is VERY willing-to-please
and a 'perfect'
sleeper when she curls so peacefully next to you in bed.
A real wonderful girl,"
says owner/trainer/breeder Julie Borst Reed.

Tiara “U” Litter 2006
~ Our 30th
Year
We had the U
letter names picked out for the puppies before they arrived. We
did this because U names do not just come to U – especially
the third time U have a U litter produced!!!
Also, to go
with our Beatles theme, we had many, many lines of lyrics that
utilized the word U, selected ahead of time.
The first born
arrived after about an hour of labor.
We placed a mark on his head. The mother, or dam as
she is known, is Dede our lovely and talented, do everything
right lady ~ UWP, GRCH Tiara D’Aire.
You can see her birth page by going to Recent Litters –
And then select the D litter.
When Udele
entered the world, he did so with confidence.
He seemed a leader and thus his registered name.
He is the first born, Tiara U Say U Want a Revolution We heard his warning . . . . “There are more of us
coming!” Our
quiet household, void of baby
puppy yips since last summer, was about to witness a welcomed
invasion.

We were happy
to meet this girl next, who came out “talking” and looking
for her first meal. “Ulrika”
has the registered name of Tiara
U Can Talk To Me - just try to read these names without
breaking into song! If
you know Beatles lyrics, you will be singing in
no time! Udele
would not be lonely now with the company of Ulrika.
We placed the
mark on her shoulders (withers). She was born breech.

The biggest
character of the litter – “Udolf” Tiara U Twist So Fine
–first picture shows his arrival just before his amniotic sac
gave way. Once it
did, it exposed the fact that this baby was breech too!
Unlike his elegant sister born the same way before him .
. .. he put on a show. He twisted himself out backwards
and at one point, <we will never forget this picture in our
minds, but we didn’t take an actual photo to share, we were
helping his birth> only his lower torso was free and his rear
legs were kicking vigorously as his hips were rotating –
twisting! In his pose picture, also below, he looks pretty
smug! A big character indeed.
We placed the mark in the middle of his back.

After the last
birth, “Ulmer” Tiara U Can Drive my Car arrived in a
calm fashion, quite well under control and we felt he deserved
this name of trust. We
placed the mark on his tail.

We took our
only rest between puppies –
often it seems that there is a break between the two
“horns of the uterus” when a bitch is whelping. I think we placed our heads on our pillows for an entire 10
minutes when we heard the mother leave the box and
her 4 newborn puppies to get away for a delivery –
usually I am right there and place the newborns out of the way
in their own private bassinette while a delivery occurs.
We were up in an instant and happy to see there was
another girlie – “Umay”
Tiara
U Know U Look So Good
a fine
looking Poodle delivered while mother was standing – the
midway puppy we would learn. We marked her right hip.
Just after the
birth shot below, Dede swung around to go back to her box and as
she did . . . . lots of fluid was released and landed no less
than an inch from the opening of my slippers that I had removed
when I jumped into bed for a rest!
LUCKY Me! More caffeine!
No more resting! Welcome
puppies. xox

I put my
shearling slippers back on thinking how lucky I was to still
have them at my service and lucky to have such beautiful,
healthy puppies and lucky to have my husband bringing me my
steady supply of caffeinated drinks which I had stockpiled for
the occasion and lucky he loves the Poodles just as much as I do
and I was sure to acknowledge all his assistance and I told him
all that while he was busy taking notes and pictures. We
know we are lucky for so much and are thankful.
And the next
fellow, born easily onto a fluffy towel and assisted to the
“dining area” immediately was one of the lucky ones too –
“Ulric” Tiara
U Don’t Know How Lucky U Are Boy We marked his left
hip.

At this point,
boys out-numbered girls 4 – 2 and it is much nicer to have a
balance between the number of males and females when offering
them to good homes. We
have had quite a few litters dominated by males – a couple completely all-male litters. The balance is preferred. At this time, the mother was
content and was not having noticeable contractions.
I had palpated
Dede and felt at least two probably three puppies to go.
I got on the Internet in the next room and quickly wrote
to the good people on the TiaraPoodles e-mail list -
THINK GIRLS I begged!
I didn’t wait for replies.
I phoned Jenny Peckham, owner of Dede’s sire and
invited her to come by if she still wanted to help.
I told her THINK GIRLS!
She arrived from downtown just in time to see this
darling baby of the litter arrive, “Umika” Tiara U Begin
To Make It Better
And she did, it was now 4 boys and 3 girls.
We marked her chest.
Still unbeknownst to me, the e-mail was posting in a
flurry on our TiaraPoodles owner’s e-mail list from across the
USA – all good
thoughts for girls!
Thanks gang!

“Unnati” Tiara
U Have Always Been My Inspiration arrived
just after breakfast was served to the humans – we missed the
birth picture, but did get this, the cutest set of pictures to
share. Another girl – now this was terrific – 4 males
and 4 females - a beautifully balanced litter of extremely
healthy whelps. We marked her right side.

Our grand
finale was another girl – the girls now out number the males
by just one. And this was a very pretty one too!
We were still eating breakfast (yes, I was eating
breakfast in the whelping box – I did wash those hands first! You may imagine why I skip the manicurist BEFORE delivering
puppies – apologies, the close ups are a bit REAL, but that is
what we are about). This
character, I believe is perfectly named. We marked her left
side. Thrilled is
what we are about this litter.
Not one puppy had difficulty breathing or nursing right
from the start. We did have two breech births, (#2 and # 3), but they handled
it well.
Thank you daddy
Allegro and mother Dede.

Jenny, owner of
maternal grandsire, loves sharing the excitement of the
newborns. Here she is giving Dede a well-deserved lower back massage.
Dede is busy with the brood.
They are all pictured in one of the whelping boxes we
will provide Dede to raise the litter the first 3 – 4 weeks.
We have a second one in our living room and a third in my
office at work. The
puppies have a great new adventure ahead!

mark Jenny!>

That night Dede
fell into a deep sleep and I assisted throughout the night by
making sure the puppies stayed in a nice tight circle around her
. . .
Dede was
dreaming . .. . about a less hectic time . . . on her little
Jolly Roger on Mission Bay . .. .
When she was
the pampered instead of the pamperer
although happy
to be responsible . .. Her dreams took her back to that time .
..
And she
wondered . . . . could she be back in
shape by July
for her favorite sport ?
Course ‘A Lure that is pure joy! . . . . |
