Swiss Dawn C litter arrives
Welcome to the world, Cotton and Carling Eiger
We are delighted to announce the birth of the Swiss Dawn litter – Cotton weighing 470g and Carling Eiger weighing 500g arrived yesterday afternoon. Congratulations to the proud parents Edison Eiger vom Rickental (Eiger) and Ophelia vom Gspan (Lia).
Puppies!
We are very pleased to announce that yesterday (27 April), Lia (Ophelia Vom Gspan) gave birth to five beautiful, healthy Entlebuchers. The three boys, Bach, Brahms and Bartok and two girls, Berlioz and Bliss are all doing well, as is Mum. Congratulations to the proud parents, Lia and Tsjerno and also to Lia’s humans, Vanessa and Steve.
Bella’s Pups
We are delighted to let you know that Bella gave birth to the CaicosRoo’s B litter last night. It was a long night for Sarah and Bella but at the end of it all there were seven beautiful Entlebucher puppies. Mum and pups (and human) are all doing well. Their names are: Boys : Blue Moon, Beaumont, Boerwolf & Bravado
Girls : Bijou, Bayo & Babeli. Little Bijou was the smallest at 333g, but she’s doing ok.
This brings the number of Entlebuchers in the UK to 89.

Well done to all the dogs. We will shortly add a new Breeding Dogs page to the site with details of all those who have now passed these tests. Health tests are still to be completed before they can join the breeding programme, but these are underway.
