*** All puppies are reserved from this litter. ***

Born 20th January 2026, Valkyrie effortlessly and gracefully whelped 7 beautiful babies naturally in a very considerate daytime whelp. Unfortunately, at 24 hours old one of our precious little girls who was born half the size of her littermates, grew her wings. Our first loss in breeding. This leaves us with an even split of 3 girls and 3 boys.

Tragically the sire of this litter passed away 7 days before this litter was born, his ashes returning home to his owners the day the litter was whelped. This litter well and truly is interwoven through fate.

From this litter I am hoping to improve Valkyries upper arm length and overall balance, and reduce genetic COI. I expect this pairing to maintain the excellent substance, coat quality and pigment seen in both parents, and I plan to maintain Valkyries beautiful rear angulation and rear strength. I expect puppies to be on the larger side.

Kado’s easy going, confident and social temperament paired with Valkyries friendly, confident but fiery personality, we expect produce excellent balance in temperaments as well with a range of moderate to higher energy & drive puppies.

A match made in heaven, truly Fated To Be.

Fate litter 1 week old

Litter expectations:
50% chance for MDR1 +/- (carrier) / 50% chance for MDR1 clear
100% clear DM
100% clear CH*
Reduced COI**
25% chance for medium coat NOT carrying long
50% chance for medium coat carrying long
25% chance for long coat

* Kado is untested, this expectation is based on our previous pairing to Kado and a CH carrier, resulting in 0 affected puppies. This leads us to believe he is clear, but as Valkyrie is clear it is not necessary to ensure Kado is tested.
** Kado is untested with Embark. This expectation is based off our knowledge of his lines and our past experience with breeding him seeing a significant drop in genetic COI.

Cerebellar Hypoplasia testing and Embark Health testing are not routinely done in Australia. Whilst it is something I undergo as a breeder for my breeding females and puppies, I cannot expect or demand all breeders use these. As long as an untested CH male is bred to a tested clear female, it is safe. Embark simply provides additional information on health which is not necessary for breeding, as Kado has undergone all the required health testing for breeding.
