Retired Thunder Pups Where are they now? Living with their babies of course! It's our dream to retire each of our females with one of their puppies, to live with their baby in a family setting bursting with love. We take great pride in keeping our retired Momma's in a bonded relationship with one of their puppies.
In October 2023 White Manitou Khloe, arrived from Hungary. We call her sweet Bailey, because she is so affectionnate.
In order to import a breeding dog from Europe, she is required to pass all export health clearances. Bailey came to us at just over four months old with passing eye, patella, hips and heart certifications. To be conservative; we repeated all her health testing. After her first litter, we learned her hips are rated on the high side of standard deviation for Cavaliers. This rating can lead to hip dysplasia in some dogs. Her results also showed signs of early onset of osteoarthritis.
This is why ongoing health testing is so important. Extra weight from additional pregnancies could have adverse impact for sweet Bailey. Putting her health and longevity first, we retired Bailey to reduce her risk of hip arthritis and dysplasia. Our intent is to better the breed. Small risks to Dam, Sire or Puppy's health and longevity are not acceptable for our program.
Bailey is so very content living with our very dear friends. We knew they were right for both Mother and Baby the first time we met. They have a beautiful family including three other dogs, one of these is Bailey's daughter Holly. Our puppy families become extended family for us. We know she is cherished and loved, as are her daughter and their siblings both two and four legged. We couldn't be more pleased.
