We got news this evening that there was finally a successful tie between Soph and Surtur! tie between Soph and Surtur! Thankfully we'd brought Surtur out far enough ahead of Sophie's heat that the two dogs got some solid time to get used to each other but even so when it came down to it Sophie was a nervous pup and it got to the point that we weren't sure she'd settle enough for Surtur to mount let alone get a solid tie from it.
With the hope of having another familiar faces around to help calm her, Gen's sister and Soph's favourite Sim, Signe (pictured above) made the trip out to Liten Flod to help with the process.
It worked wonderfully and didn't take too long of Signe being on grounds for our girl to relax and let Surtur do his thing. We still had a couple failed attempts and it took the pups a couple tries but we finally got the tie we wanted; even though the first one did slip early, luckily the pups weren't phased and did better the next attempt.
Surtur will be staying on grounds until we get confirmation one way or the other about conception and Sophie will being staying at Liten Flod until the litter has been born. We're not sure yet if either Morgan or I will be making the trip out there or if we'll leave Signe and Amelia to keep a handle on things but either way we're all excited for this litter and are very hopeful that it took the first time.
Reservations for this litter will be closing once we get confirmation! Be sure to fill out a form located on this page to get put onto the wait list.
