February 11

Micki is quite a big bitch - but apparently not too big to press herself into her puppies' very small igloo.
Not much room left for them, though...

February 9

This is what Micki's puppies by Hector look like today, four weeks old.

On request, as a proof of their existence,
 pictured below at the age of 4 days are Micki's tvo male puppies by Hector,
Airescot Snow Racer and Airescot Snow Scooter.

Below them you can see their sisters Airescot Snow Crystal and Airescot Snow Flake.
Hopefully more interesting pictures will follow later.

January 13

Late in the evening of January 11th "Micki" gave birth to her third litter, this time by Ch Winterkloud Hector.
She followed the pattern of her previous litters by having a quick and easy whelping
and producing two boys and two girls, very even in size and so far looking very healthy.

The puppies in her previous litter were named after the heavy rain falling over us when they were born.

To keep following Micki's pattern these puppies will be called Airescot Snow Racer, Snow Scooter, Snow Crystal and Snow Flake.

To see the pedigree of this litter go to Affenpinschers/Breeding.

2009

September 25

Two months have gone since Carl-Emil took the pictures further down of Micki's Rain puppies.
They are now all gone to their new homes, all except Raindrop, who is staying with the Airescots.

When Alfred Hove and his wife Rita, kennel Oceanwild, Norway were visiting us to pick up their Australian bitch puppy,
Alfred very kindly took these pictures of Raindrop, just over 3 months old.

July 24

At almost 6 weeks Micki's Rain puppies are enjoying life, pictured by Carl-Emil.

July 15

Here are some snapshots of our Rain litter at four weeks, taken by Carl-Emil and myself.
The four puppies are very even, very active and very forward.

June 15

Yesterday, June 14 on the 63rd day from the first mating, Micki gave birth to her four puppies in one hour and ten minutes,
a quick and easy whelping just as the one she had with her Christmas litter in 2007.
And again she had two males and two bitches, very even and very black.
They were born after a very wet walk in the woods in pouring rain and will be amply named
Airescot Raincoat, Rainman, Rainbow and Raindrop. They are pictured below 17 hours old.

Their pedigree and a picture of their sire can be seen in the Update of May 3 if you go to Affenpinscher/Breeding

The boys: Airescot Raincoat and Rainman

The girls: Airescot Rainbow and Raindrop

May 3

April 12th and 13th Micki was bred in England to Ch Uncle Urkle at Cransbere.
For details and pedigree go to Affen/Breeding.

UPDATES 2008

September 20

Micki's Christmas puppies by Ch Anzolas Vincent Black Shadow will be nine months old September 25,

UPDATE February 4

As we won't get the helping hand with taking puppy pictures, which we had expected this week,
here are the 5½ week pictures taken last week, with the help of Ilona.
Not enough light, but at least you can see the outline of the puppies.

UPDATE  February 1

Finally, kindly assisted by our guest Ilona from Latvia, we managed to take some snapshots

of our four Affenpinscher puppies, now 5½ weeks old.

Below the two boys and the two girls, pictured with flashlight.
We also took some nice individual and stacked pictures of them,
but to rely on daylight giving enough light for those shots was not one of my better ideas,
so next week we'll have another try with stacked pictures and hope for a better result.

The two boys: Airescot Christmas Cracker and Airescot Christmas Gift              The two girls: Airescot Christmas Eve and Airescot Christmas Carol

UPDATE January 22

Today Micki's Christmas puppies are four weeks old and enjoying each other and their minced meat.
Next week we'll try to take some individual pictures.
No doubt it's very difficult to take good pictures of this furry black breed.

UPDATE January 8

Micki's four Christmas puppies now two weeks old, have just opened their eyes,
but in the snapshot below they still only come out as black lumps.

The boys are named Airescot Christmas Cracker and A. Christmas Gift,
the bitches A. Christmas Carol and A. Christmas Eve.

2007

UPDATE December 27

Christmas Day, December 25, "Micki" quickly and easily gave birth to four puppies by "Knutte".
In the Update below you'll find information and pedigree of the litter,
so today we'll just add that there are two males and two bitches in this lovely litter.

UPDATE October 30

October 23 Micki was bred to "Knutte", Anzolas Vincent Black Shadow, still a youngster
but already winner of several CC's in Sweden and currently #4 on the Swedish Affenpinscher list for 2007.
Apart from at the Swedish Affenpinscher Specialty, reported on in the Update below, Micki has only been shown once
 and was then awarded the bitch CC. She is sired by "Ross", Ch Yarrow's Jungle Jim, in his first Scandinavian litter.
"Ross" was Sweden's top winning Affenpinscher in 2006 and is the current top winner also for 2007.

"Micki" is not small but very sound and has a wonderful temperament.
"Knutte" is of lovely size, has a great temperament and is, like Micki, very happy in the ring.
If all goes well we expect the litter to be born on Christmas Eve - perfect timing, indeed!

Both pedigrees and two pictures of "Knutte" can be seen below.

August 1, 2007

"Micki" has for a long time been living with Petter Fodstad in Norway.
He keeps her in wonderful condition
and considers her to be the most intelligent dog in the world.

He has just showed her at the Swedish Affenpinscher Breed Specialty.
 where she was placed 4th Best Bitch from Intermediate Class.
