  • K'QUIERES "Chica"- Export to Belgium

  • KANDIS "Chili" - Austria, he was joined until March 13, 2009, by Alysha (out of the A litter from here)

Unfortunately these were the only offspring of Zabou because ..........

1. try:
Zabou has been bred by ARMAGEDON de l’avenue D’Artagnon on December 30/31, 2003. Unfortunately Zabou was empty (status 3 March 2004).

2. try:
(August 5, 2005) Zabou is in season and shall be bred, but it does not run without problems:
She has bacteria (Mycoplasma) with which she must have been infected - according to the information of the veterinarians in the gynecology clinic of the Vet. University Vienna - ONLY in the course of a mating, as the infection with that bacteria happens by this way. Zabou had been tested for germs and bacteria prior to her FIRST breeding (as ALL the bitches here always are with smear and blood picture) and she was ABSOLUTELY CLEAR, of which the results of the Vet. University Vienna from December 2003 give evidence! (The bitch which had been mated previous to Zabou by this stud, had been empty, but had puppies with other studs.)
If until the mating day the antibiotics are not enough she might remain empty. Also the stud has to have antibiotics now to not be infected. Whether the bacteria are gone after the 14 days treatment with antibiotics or not, can only be checked shortly before Zabou's next season. When they still are present, the "game" repeats ..........

How "happy" I am about this, everyone can for sure imagine!

On August 7/8, 2005, Zabou has been bred by Sel. Champ. TALISMANIK de la Chaume du Bois Dieu (HD-A. CSNB-clear, Champ. FRA 2005, Youth Champ. LUX 2003).
The ultrasounds nearly five weeks after the mating was already negative, the result of the x-ray 2 weeks later: Unfortunately there will be no puppies out of this breeding. The antibiotics against the infection, which Zabou got from the stud at her last (and even very first) breeding, was not enough till the mating day. What a pity .......... But we are going to have another try next year - again with Talis.

My "special thanks" goes to the stud owner of the first mating with Zabou, namely that she cares so very much about the health of her dogs. With the heavy infection of Mycroplasma bacteria by the stud she has managed that the chances, that Zabou turns pregnant, were more than low. Eventually she has destroyed the breeding career of a beautiful, endearing and very promising brood bitch. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Also a way to put other breeders out of the running ......

And here a message for all those who spread the rumour only 10 days after the mating of Zabou, that Talis is INFERTILE: such statements can only originate from sick brains!!! Put your own over and over dirty house in order first ..........! This rumour can be disclaimed with results, as Pascale was for an examination with Talis, concerning bacteria, and had also done a sperm check: Talis ist NOT infertile and he has (OF COURSE) NOT been affected with Clamydia by Zabou!

certificate Talis

3. try:
Nine months of testing ...... nine months of checks ...... nine months of continuous intense treatment of Zabou against the Mycroplasma bacteria she caught from the stud when she had been mated the first time ...... for the second time within nine months a long trip to the stud with partly mixed feelings (2800 kilometers tour retour) .......
The lane was very stony, but it was worth it: the ultrasounds on June 7, 2006, were positive. All the further checks were also great, and finally on July 12, 2006, we could welcome and raise the long awaited litter of Zabou.

My warm thanks goes to the team of the obstetrics clinic in the Veterinary University of Vienna, and I want to place some special and heartful thanks in this place to Dr. Schäfer, who has through all these months never spared any effort to treat and check Zabou, so that she had the greatest possible chances for finally having puppies. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DR. SCHÄFER!!!

4. try:
The checks and treatments continued because another litter was planned with Zabou, else there won't be any chance for another litter, as being once affected by Mycroplasma they will never again disappear. At this try the result of the progesterone test was misinterpreted and therewith Zabou was too late at Talis for the breeding.

 

Any reasonable breeder has his stud(s) frequently and his bitch(es) in the beginning of a season checked for germs. Nevertheless, since some years many stud owners (this kennel also does) insist that the bitch owners present a result concerning Canine Brucellosis and Chlamydia previous to the mating, to not have their studs infected ... and this act is absolutely understandable! Because of the irresponsibility of some dog owners it is now also necessary for the bitch owner to have presented an up-to-date result according germs of the chosen stud!
