On November 16 2005, Nova gave birth to 8 beautiful puppies, 5 males and 3 females. The Sire for this litter is a wonderful dog from Europe, Bowie (Am/Can/Dutch CH Serilde Velenocelestiale), born in Italy (from Sweden Almanza bloodline) and living with Leonie Galdermans in the Netherlands (Swallowsflight).

Back in 2006, planning my next litter with Nova, Leonie Galdermans and I decided to use a very promising young male, Thor (Can/Am/Dutch CH Flat Castle's Olympic Torch). What we did not know at the time is that Thor would take 'Best of Winners' at the US Specialty in June 2007! So, on July 9 2007, eight puppies were born, 5 males and 3 females, all in good health.

This will be the third and Nova's last litter. For me it's like a new beginning cause Pen (American CH Shannara's Penderrin) is Bowie's son (Nova's first mate) and Darby, who happens to be Exel's sister (he is the one I'm breeding Céleste with). Pen won Best of opposite sexe at the 2007 american specialty's sweepstakes. He also has this very 'scandinavian' look. It's another way for me to thanks again my friends Traci Spires and Leonie Galdermans for their good work. A severe virus killed 7 out of 8 pups within a week.

So now it is time for Knightcastle' second generation. For her first breeding, Céleste spent two weeks in Iowa with Ernie and Linda Rudolph and has been bred with Exel (Dutch/American CH Swallowsflight Excalibur's Enigma TDI CGC). This is simply the best dog for her. He is soft, a really cool dog. So on September 12 2008, Céleste gave birth to 8 little puppies.
