The Belgian / Swedish Love Affair

Well we are rather pleased to announce that the time and effort spent, firstly running off to Sweden to fetch urgently 'Ibsen', as Charmed decided to come early into season, by plane, when all was already planned by train and road, but no a day trip to Stockholm airport was necessary for the 'star'; and then of course in the end she was mated quite late on in her season (so yes train/car arrangement would have been ok) but but the matings were all very easy and truly quite a 'love story' between them - must be Ibsen's Swedish charm or is it Charmed's beauty queen aura??

This morning went to the vet with Charmed for a scan and YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS we saw PUPPIES!!!
About 10 pups we think, bit early (24days) to count well but they are there;
The little darlings are due about the 12th November; Here is the Official announcement -

International Show Ch, German,Dutch,Lux&Belgian Champion Hillsborough Charmed - Amsterdam Winner, Field Trial Qualified (Ch Trawricka Unrivalled x Ch Vicary's UK Only) and her husband 'Copper's Prat Bubbla (Ch Caskey's Concept at Aoibheanne x Balintyne Coppers Home n Dry)
are pleased to announce that their babies are due around the 12th November
