I haven't raised a litter of pups in more than ten years, but I am considering breeding her. Her sire fathered 56 pups. Of that number 16 have made their championship, 4 have multiple wins, and another 20 or more have places. That's an impressive producing record. She runs more like her sire than any other of his get that I have seen. Not flashy, but slow , deliberate, dependable with strong desire. Maybe - she won't be back in heat until next September as she only comes in heat once a year.

Do you have a male in mind?
It would be a shame to lose those genetics.

A shame indeed. She is from a litter of 4. 3 have made their championship, and the fourth sits in a kennel in NY state. Her sire was euthanized at 6 years old because of an aggressive prostate cancer - that was a true loss. I have a couple of males in mind, but see nothing that really moves me. I have a young male out of one of her half sisters that is doing well - 2 wins, 3 seconds, and 2 thirds in minimal trials. He is a possibility depending upon how he matures.

Way back in the beginning I had a litter of 3 pups. All 3 made their championship and won major events. Repeated the mating and raised 5 pups. We were newly married and short on money. I sold all of them for the $ to campaign the mother and pups. Not a one of the second litter was given a chance and did nothing at field trials. Those were the only pups I have ever sold. Any pups after that were for me or gifted to someone I knew would give them a chance.
 
Took DH to his Dr. appointment they have a antibiotic that can go IM not IV so they are setting it up will call me when it is ready.
I have had only 4 litters in all those years.
Tervuren had allot of Epilepsy in the past I learned who had it breed away from it as I learned.
