About the Stud for our Litter

While we are still waiting on Dixie...I thought it would be of interest to tell you that after a lot of research and interviews, I have settled on the Stud dog for this litter.  His name is Toby and he is a small Schnauzer (under 20lbs).  He is AKC registered. His coat is a very light silver color, with white markings.  His owner has been breeding Schnauzers for 20 years, and knows Toby's lineage for several generations.  He has a lot of white in his lineage.   He has fathered many litters and often throws white puppies.  When bred with white females the result has been all white litters.  Nonetheless,  I should note that other colors are still a possibility!  But most importantly, Toby has a lovely disposition, a gorgeous coat and has every desirable trait to make a great match for Dixie!

It is worth noting at this time, that although the father is AKC registered, since Dixie is ACA registered, the resulting litter will have papers to be ACA registered.

I have talked with Toby's owner and all the arrangements are in place so that when Dixie is ready, the breeder will be ready for Dixie's visit.  I have also lined up some summer help to be here with the pups when I cannot.  So I have done my part, and we are ready to breed Dixie even if she waits until the end of April to go into heat.
