We all caught up on some much-needed sleep, and now it's time to introduce the newest members of our family: the E litter from Dappa and Toffee!
Toffee gave birth to 9 pups on Monday. Unfortunately, one big boy was born still, and another little guy behind him didn't make it, likely due to a lack of oxygen. Such is the life of a breeder—it's not always easy, and it can be heartbreaking. However, what matters most is that Toffee is okay. No need for a c-section, no other complications, and she showed incredible bravery throughout the birthing process without giving up. After facing some challenges last year, we're incredibly grateful for the arrival of 7 new Duckmoors pups—4 girls and 3 boys. Here's to new beginnings and a brighter future! Toffee is in pups! Pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound yesterday. Puppies due end of January. This should be an amazing litter, the very last one from my "once in a lifetime" girl and hopefully we will get a chance to keep a puppy from this litter too!

If you are eager to welcome a puppy that combines a keen work ethic with an honest and open character, reach us via email at iva@duckmoors.com. After careful and very long consideration, we’ve decided to have a very last litter from our beloved Toffee.
She was mated with Dappa successfully end of November. Puppies should be born end of January 2024. DREAM.
BELIEVE. DO. REPEAT. We dreamed, we believed, we did .. and we repeated too unfortunately (now I’m laughing after it finished in a best possible way, I was not before!) Let’s welcome our second singleton puppy Jazzie gave birth to a big singleton boy naturally, what a rockstar she was to manage it within an hour as a first-time mom! She is absolutely in love with her son from the first second and keeps an eye on him nonstop. Thanks God for such a good mothers! Well, we are a good example of the other side of the breeding now, when you invest two times thousands of euros, travel 4000km and the fate is still not on our side. This time an arrogant officer on FR-UK borders ruined our dream as she banned Jazz from entering UK, cancelled our boarding at the worst time when she was in higher progesterone already and ready for mating. 1 hour of fight with stupid officers, during which an old pair with 5 terriers entered the pet reception and they did not managed them, they got off the leash and immediately attacked Jazz, even fight between each other. Jazz was absolutely in shock, hanging in the air while I was kicking f…. terriers. Thanks to a foreigner who helped us to get them away from us because the old pair did just nothing. That was the moment we gave up and went away with limping and totally shocked Jazz. We spent a day in France on the beach and after calming down all the emotions we decided to give it another shot, at that point there was nothing to lose besides extra money for another hotel and train. Next day we just tried to enter UK again and hoped for another officer and they let us go with no troubles, same passport, same vaccination, no explanation. I’ve travelled to UK many times, but this was the first time we experienced such a non-sense situation in which nothing helped. I can’t even write lesson learned, because we did nothing wrong, Jazz travelled with all valid documents and vaccinations . So, that was our unforgettable journey with a lot of emotions and we started a new one with a little boy now. Not what we were hoping for, but only important they are both fit and healthy and no surgery was needed.
one truly a versatile golden retriever
