We are happy to share some great news about the Duckmoors family! Yesterday, five of our pack members underwent their annual eye exams and we are happy to report that everyone's eyes are unaffected including gonio (PLA) - even our senior stars! FTAW Kaliture Finn "Finn" - 11,5 years old I’m super happy for my old boy, Finn. Passing his eye test is quite important for him, so he can still fully work on shoots and mark all the game. I don’t take this for granted, as my previous seniors suffered from cataracts in old age, which affected their ability to work even though their legs were still fit. Kaliture Toffee Crisp "Toffee" – 8,5 years old After retiring from breeding, Toffee can now fully enjoy her retirement and continue working as much as possible. She’s still going strong! Duckmoors All That Jazz "Jazzie" – 5,5 years old Jazzie has been fully tested recently - full blood check, thyroid check, and eye exam - with excellent results. We’ve decided to breed her now and have chosen a UK stud. We’ll be traveling as soon as she’s in season (October-November) Duckmoors Call Me Neema "Neema" – 1,5 years old This was Neema's first eye test, and we’re hopeful she’ll continue with good results in the coming years! Duckmoors Dreamcatcher "Toby" – 1 year old This was also Toby’s first eye test, and we are happy with the results, even more that he had his X-rays done too, and the results are super: * Hips: B * Elbows: 0/0 * OCD shoulders: unaffected * Spine: all clear (No vertebral anomalies, Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebra, or Spondylosis) Toby is now ready to fully start his training, and we’re hopeful he’ll join us on some picking-up days soon. He’s already showing excellent skills in his work and looks to be a very promising boy with lovely character! We couldn’t be prouder of our gang, and we look forward to keeping them happy, healthy, and doing what they love! Another one of our golden girls celebrated her birthday yesterday!
Happy, Happy Birthday to our lovely Neema, a dog with nine lives just like a cat. Neema, I wish you nothing but health, because your first year was truly a rollercoaster. It all started when we fought for your life at just 3 weeks old, continued with teeth surgery after you broke your big tooth, and hopefully, all your bad luck ended with your recent battle with anaplasmosis. You are truly one of a kind, an excellent spare mom to our singleton and Toffee's litter. Your dedication and time spent with the puppies is unbelievable. You’re a true golden retriever in every aspect with a super lovely character. I would not change one thing about you. I’m looking forward to many, many more adventures with you. Pity you have no siblings, as I’m sure they would be just as exceptional as you are. But I'm super grateful I have you, at least. Happy 1st Birthday, Neema!
