On June 1, 2007 a mating took place between Anouk and Xander von Fidelius (callname "Drago"). Drago has excellent conformation and is exceptionally charismatic. He is in excellent health and his hips are rated HD-A, elbows A.
Anouk and Drago were introduced under close supervision on leash for a short period and soon we were confident enough to let them off the leash where they sniffed at each other tentatively for a bit. Anouk was playing "hard to get" at first, but soon she gave in to Drago's charisma and a match was made! We took them to a beautiful field of daisies on a hill top (ambiance is so very important, don't you think?) and immediately they began to romp and play. This was Drago's first mating and at first he wasn't quite sure what was expected of him, but then Anouk dropped a few "hints" and on his second attempt he performed like a pro!
On July 2, 2007 the ultrasound showed 4 viable embryos. This was on the 30th day of gestation.
Anouk whelped her first puppy on August 2, 2007 at 8:50pm. The next day the vet came to do a routine post whelping examination and determined there was still one puppy left inside of Anouk. An injection was given to stimulate labor and the fourth puppy was born. He was beautiful, but sadly was stillborn. The vet tried to revive him, but alas, it was not meant to be.

The fourth litter consisted of 2(+1) males and 1 female.
Details of the 4th litter:
Evan : born on 2th of august 2007, 20.50 hours, male, weighing 515 gram;
Eefje: born on 2th of august 2007, 23.23 hours, female, weighing 470 gram;
Emiel: born on 3th of august 2007, 02.55 hours, malee, weighing 620 gram;
4: stillborn on 3th of august 2007, 12.05 hours, male.
