Shire and Memphis
Born October 19, 2022
Description of the Dam
Peaslee’s Elanor Proudfoot (Shire) is an extremely intelligent, kind-hearted, and intuitive dog with a strong sense of responsibility. Friendly and gentle, she gets along with everyone and tries hard to please. She enjoys working and has herding and trick dog titles in addition to a canine good citizen certification. Although not formally trained as a service dog, she adapts naturally to the needs of those around her. She keeps an eye on our property, dispatching mice & voles and running off coyotes and hawks.
Shire is 6 years old, petite (18″, 33 lbs) & athletic, with a feminine build and features. Her hips are OFA good and she is clear for MDR-1, CEA, PRA-prcd and DM. She had a normal ophthalmic exam prior to breeding.
Description of Sire
Snowy Rivers’ Majestic Memphis is a friendly, easy-going and athletic dog. He has exceptional social skills and a kind, biddable nature. He lives on a ranch in Oregon and assists with farm chores as well as helping out as a demo dog in his owner’s dog-training classes. Memphis helps rid the property of squirrels, rodents, and runs off coyotes and hawks. He loves to retrieve and will carry an empty feed bag or feed container when out doing chores. Memphis has solid natural herding instincts and a strong desire to work in partnership with his owner. He enjoys training, participating in barn hunt, scent work, parkour, and readily learning tricks.
At 8 years of age, Memphis has a moderate build, 22″ and 53 lbs, with a broad head and thick ruff. His hips are OFA good and he is clear for MDR-1, CEA, PRA-prcd and DM.
Shire is a very nurturing dog and an excellent mother. Her puppies have adapted well to a variety of different environments and lifestyles; as a group they are friendly, biddable, athletic, and very responsive to training. I expect puppies from Shire and Memphis to be very social, kind, and thoughtful. They should be excellent family companions and farm helpers.
The estimated genetic COI for this match is 4% and the generation interval is 7 years. Both parents are sound, healthy dogs and we expect the puppies to be as well.
Seven puppies, 6 boys and 1 girl, were born on October 19, all healthy and very even in size (15 oz on average). The theme for their litter names is taken from Guardians of the Galaxy — Quill, Rocket, Drax, Groot, Cosmo, Yondu, and Gamora.
