The end of February saw the birth of Ksenia and Reid's first litter.  Three lovely pups were born, one grey male and two reddish females.  I've decided to wait until they are grown up before I determine who will stay with the kennel and who will find new homes. I am currently in the process of trying to equip as many of my dogs as possible with champ packs as I'd like them all to compete if possible.

I'm having a tough time deciding who to breed next month.  I think I've narrowed it down to three choices, Nariko x Katsuro, Ranger x Raina, or Liseli (with an outside stud).

The Keitaro/Kamiko combination produced 3 beautiful puppies, two look to be red sesame, one is a lighter colour.  Two boys, one girl.  The girl and the light coloured boy will stay at Secret Cove.  The other boy has been traded for a Australian Cattle Dog puppy from Mutt Mayhem Kennels who we have named Coyote.  I'm very pleased with the outcome of this breeding and looking forward to seeing my pups grow up.

With the registration of our kennel, Secret Cove Kennels now official, we decided to submit our first breeding.  The pairing is Keitaro x Kamiko.  We're looking forward to some beautiful puppies out of these two.

With the acquisition of our last two Shiba Inu females, Secret Cove is now ready to become a registered kennel.  Wish us luck!
