This is for the litter of Ch Hosanna White
Lightning ('Flash') X Ch & Grand Ch Hosanna Love Unfailing
('Lacy)
Here is the QUANTITATIVE evaluation of that
litter:
If you have questions, and want explanations of how
this works, please CALL
- still don't have so much time to type.
Here are the 9 week evaluation pictures of each
puppy in that litter:
I'm still going to hold off promising an
individual puppy to an individual person until I can
give them my best
information on them (AFTER I evaluate
them). I've never before forced
anyone to show my dogs, but I do
still think it's important (it's about
EVALUATING BREEDING STOCK), and since I can
no longer do much of that) I'm going to encourage
SOMEONE do that, at least with the first pick
boy and girl.
Previously, all the puppies I've placed have been
the same price.
Previously, I've never allowed my 1st pic boy
and girl to go to anyone else, kept them myself
for
showing/future breeding.
From now on, I will make my 1st picks
available, but they will be a bit more $
than the rest of the puppies in the
litter - HOPING that a serious show
person, and maybe someone who
would like to breed them eventually
will be willing to make a bit more
investment for the BEST. I have been
having some very nice litters - quite a few that
were not 'first pick' have been successful in the show ring, and
even finished titles. We finished 3 and 4
from some of our litters. However, almost
ALL of my 'first picks'
have done well in the show ring, and ALL of them
have PRODUCED winners, though just a couple
of those over past 20 years didn't finish
themselves (one or two of them just didn't want to be show dogs
- a couple we lost prematurely - one - Hosanna Precious Gift - was even lost by her handler).
As soon as they have been
evaluated, I will invite those who have put deposits to CHOOSE THEIRS IN
THE ORDER IN WHICH I RECEIVED
the deposits. 1st IN = 1st pick, 2nd in = 2nd
pick, etc.
Remember, before, always folks had pick AFTER I
TOOK MINE. And, I have NEVER picked on color
NOW you can choose from the ENTIRE litter
- BUT IF you want the one I call 'first pick',
it will cost a bit more.
You may pick WHATEVER one you want from what is
available when IT IS YOUR TURN
- pick on color if you want to, or any other
criteria you have. BUT the prices will be a bit
higher for the
1st 'picks' of the litter,
This means that, IF whoever is first or
second in line doesn't want the 'best' (1st pick)
one (for whatever their reason is - if they want a pet, they may not want to pay more for it,
for instance), that one will
still be available to those who got deposits
in later.
It has rarely happened that there was
only a single boy in a litter. Actually, that's how
CH Hosanna It's Your Will got his name. He was the ONLY boy - and he finished his
Championship, and sired a Champion
plus a Champion PRODUCER (Will
only sired a single litter, and only one of them was shown, his son, Romeo,
did not 'want'
to be a show dog - but he has
produced two Champions and a Grand Champion in his single
litter). Willie was GORGEOUS.
At the top of that page is his
sister, 'Bliss', my 1st pick girl from that litter. Though she did not
want to be
a show girl, so never even won a
point, she was OUTSTANDING in EVERY other way, and PRODUCED
SEVERAL Champions. Note the
LINK at top of that page to THEIR 8 week evaluation photos. And,
yes,
I also did the SAME
quantitative evaluation on them, just didn't get it up on a web
page. Have it here in my notebook.
IF there is an ONLY boy or girl, I
will price them according to where they rank in the whole litter. If they
rank in the top
third, the only will be 'pick of the
litter' price. If rank is lower, will hedge, and only ask same as for
the balance of the litter
- even though might still
be an OUTSTANDING puppy.
Remember, the WORST puppy from a HIGH quality
litter can be BETTER than the
BEST puppy from a LOW QUALITY litter.
I am, as always, willing and available to assist my
puppy's people. I will share ALL the knowledge I've gained
from
studying genetics for more than 50 years, and
studying and working with this breed for more than 25 years.
I am willing and able to be a MENTOR to anyone who
is serious about helping to continue this breed in a
responsible
way (that is, TAKING LIFE TIME RESPOSIBILITY
FOR ANY PUPPIES PRODUCED), and maintaining and IMPROVING the QUALITY of
it.
