Retired Thunder Pups

Dam Elora Danan's Willow of Thunder Pups Farm passed her genetic and preliminary health testing: basic heart assuscitation, vet physical exams for patella and hips. She has earned her first annual ofa ACVO eye and final PennHIP health certifications.  She will be bred at age two in another program we have supported and felt placement with this breeder would benefit and expand breed preservation efforts. We rest assured Willow will be a cherished family member and recieve the very best care and love for her lifetime.

Isabella Esther of Thunder Pups Farm "Bella" has well researched parentage, we met her parents and grandparents, and all are still in excellent health! Bella has had her genetic and health testing (CHIC) and a four generation AKC Certified Pedigree. Bella has Grand Championship blood lines with multiple champions! She is a beautiful Black and Tan Cavalier. She also has the lowest COI-coefficient of inbreeding percent, of any Cavalier we have ever found. This genetic diversity is key to health and longevity. 

After fostering rescue dogs for many decades, it is a great joy to create well socialized trusting puppies. Isabella and Kip are a mated pair. Their first litter was beautiful ruby and black and tan babies. Her second litter brought two gorgeous ruby twins. She later had seven healthy babies in our first Rainbow Litter with our Sire Winston. . 

She retired at Four years old for a wonderful healthy life with her son Frankie. We'll get to see her often for years to come. It's very hard to let our Momma's go, but its the very best thing to do for them and for the dogs that remain with us. Having rescued from dog hoarding situations-I will never exceed a normal homelife environment for our dogs.

Winston is a gorgeous blenheim male. Winston was born in Serbia with a prestigious pedigree from Taurunum Angels with multiple international champions, including his father International Champion Simonaland Brabus "Mōma". We are so grateful and honored to have him.

We carefully health and genetic tested Winston. He completed his basic heart, eye, patella certifications and PennHIP testing. We simply decided to downsize our program and have things be simpler and quieter in our home during our girls fertile times. 

Winston will be a cherished family member surrounded by a beautiful harem. We will still have the option to use Winston for future pairings.

Christopher Robin Mountbatten of Thunder Pups Farm "Kip" is a beautiful dark Ruby breed standard male. Born with a prestigious pedigree from De La Geode/Woodville and Rabymar/Kingston lines. These are some of the finest bloodlines in the breed! 

Kip was carefully health and genetic tested. He completed CHIC, OFA, embark genetic and AKC DNA testing which are still available for review by clicking the hyperlinks above. 

Unfortunately Kip became very anxious to the point of not eating during our girl's fertile time. This got more problematic over time and we made the difficult decision to retire Kip from our breeding program for his own best interest. He now has his hormones in check and will remain with us. 

If you are lucky enough to have one of Kips puppies, you know they are the most affectionate hugging creatures. They are beautiful from head to tail and in particular on the inside. They are well socialized and have a wonderful Cavalier temperament. 

In 2023 White Manitou Khloe, arrived from Budapest, Hungary. She was later renamed Shelby. 

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. We repeated all her health testing. We learned her hips are rated a little high of standard deviation for our liking to improve Cavaliers. 

This is why ongoing health testing is so important. Extra weight from additional pregnancies could have adverse impact for Bailey/Shelby. Putting her health and longevity first, we retired her to reduce her risk of hip arthritis and the possibility of 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 content living with our 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 other siblings both two and four legged. We couldn't be more pleased.
