Covid-19 Breeding Plan Update:
In the past few weeks I have received many calls inquiring about available pups or litters. I do not take breeding lightly, because I take full responsibility for any puppy I bring into this world for their lifetime.
Both Pemi and Moriah are due to come into season at the end of July. At this time, I plan to breed Moriah to Leader de la Rouquine, with pups ready to go at the end of November. Pups out of Moriah will be social, flashy, fun-loving, high drive dogs – and would be line-bred on one of my favorite tervuren studs- Impress de la Rouquine (KNPV PH-1). Impress, like Moriah, can go from the competition field to playing with a group of young children without any concerns. While these pups will be social with people and dogs they are still working malinois (with longer coats) and require a dedicated and active owner.
As this situation develops, I may change plans, but based on the level of interest in this litter, and the number of suitable owners available for pups, I do plan to breed at this time (March 25, 2020). Because of the Covid-19 situation, I will start taking deposits on pups before the litter is born, starting when Moriah has been successfully bred.
I usually am happy to meet with potential puppy owners so they can see my dogs and we can talk in person, but face-to-face meetings are off for the foreseeable future. I’d be happy to have virtual meetings, and provide videos of my dogs on request.
I realize many people are facing financial difficulties at this time, with the loss of income and economic shutdown. Please do not commit to a puppy unless you are willing and able to care for the dog for 10-15 years. Remember to cherish the ones you love, and take care.
Best, Kiersten and the dogs of du Chocorua
Summer 2020– working tervuren litter out of “Official Star de la Rouquine” (Moriah), an import KNPV-line female from the Netherlands. Moriah brings all the desirable qualities I search for in a strong workingline tervuren bitch and is beautiful structure and very social from excellent working malinois bloodlines.
My plan is to title her in IPO and breed her to a strong KNPV line male, possibly Perle de Tourbiere as those lines seem to blend well with Moriah’s. Puppies will be strong working candidates and also suitable for police or military, from a working tervuren bloodline that is very rare to find in the USA. Pups will be AKC registered tervuren.
In the meantime, I will post updates on progress. Abby is retired from breeding.
