This was Nova's third 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 bred 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. Nova was bred on July 4 and 5 in North Branch, Minnseota. Eight puppies were born on September 8 2008, all black, 6 mals and 2 females. Sadly, because of a severe virus, 7 pups died before reaching week one. My first bad experience as a breeder.
