Juliet is that rare combination, a dog who is as lovely as she is sweet. Juliet has a great sense of humor and is endlessly affectionate. Juliet has been selectively shown in AKC and UKC shows, finishing her UKC championship in just a few shows. We are not able to show often, but look forward to getting her in the ring when we can. She loves to give hugs and kisses, wrapping her front legs firmly around your neck. She seems to study how to be cute, and is very talented at being adorable as well. She is the "cheerleader" of Timbreblue, greeting everyone with big smiles and kisses.
Shakespeare Litter
Juliet whelped a healthy litter of eleven puppies on October 25, 2008 - five boys and six girls. She was bred to Ch Bohem Just in Time ("Justin") of Redcliffe Whippets. Of that litter, Katie stayed with Sharyn and Walt in Virginia, and Viola came to live with Jo and Derek in South Carolina.
Gemstone Litter
We skipped Juliet's next season and then bred her to Blue aka "Appraxin Amulet Avant-Garde". a beautiful steel-blue boy Sharyn had just acquired from Cal Perry of Appraxin Whippets. Those puppies -- another litter of 11! -- were born September 4th, 2009, the Gemstone litter.
Blues Singers Litter
Juliet's third litter is due towards the end of May 2010. We were hesitant about breeding her again so soon after her previous litter, but after discussing it both with our vet and a couple of specialists in reproduction, we decided that the time was right. She is in excellent health, and the latest research indicates that it is better to breed females on consecutive seasons, not, as we have always been taught, to skip seasons! (Just when you think you know it all...) If anyone is interested in reading more about that, go to Dr. Robert Van Hutchinson's on-line reproductive seminar. This will be a repeat of our Gemstone litter, sired by Blue aka "Appraxin Amulet Avant-Garde".
