upcoming litters

The young ones (Charlie & Eden) who reside with me as well as the LL girl who lives away from me (Butter in PA) will be bred when they come into season next. Potential mates have been identified … and now we wait. Expected breedings will take in the Spring 2024.

If you are interested in upcoming litters, please contact me. Priority is given to those who have a Long Lane WSS, those who are engaged or interested in conformation showing, those who have had a WSS prior, and those who have had sporting dogs prior. My current wait list is ~1 year. The following girls will be bred when the timing is right:

Charlie (CH Long Lane Dark and Stormy Night) x Gabe (CH Rolyart’s It’s All About The Timing): Charlie is out of Harlow (CH Don’s Cirque du Soleil) and Gabe is out of Gator & Grace, two foundation WSS in the breed. Charlie’s an imp! A bird hunter! A funny girl! Her breeding with Gabe will bring back foundation WSS from Rolyart. This litter will be bred and whelped in NS. Who knows when Charlie come into season …. not that I have any control!!

Eden (Clussexx XOXOX) x Thomson (GCH Long Lane Rider on the Storm): Eden came to Long Lane from Clussexx Kennels in Illinois. Her dam, Khaki (CH Salleback’s La Criminelle D’ons), is one of my favourites. She has started her show career in the U.S. and works diligently to keep all four paws on the ground when meeting the judge (her new found friend!). She is comical in what she does and does not do. A lovely temperament! Eden completed her AKC Championship, but returned to Canada. The initial breeding with Thomson while she was in the US did not catch so she returned to NS and will be bred to Thomson when the timing works, which means a quick trip to Atlanta to see my favourite WSS folks!

Butter (CH Long Lane Ahead of the Storm) x Bos’n (GCH Long Lane Boatswain’s Mate at HMS Halsted): Butter lives with her best family in PA and finished her CH easily with Jesse & Roxanne Sutton. She is such a fun girl. This breeding will bring in some heady WSS in the pedigree —some of my favourites including Saga, Don’s, Clussexx, and Rolyart’s.

Current Litter

‘S’more’ Litter

November 25, 2023

Bliss (CH Long Lane Heart of My Heart delivered 8 puppies (7 females, 1 male) one day earlier than expected. She was restless for all of Thursday, refused any food, and wanted up on the guest room bed. This was the start of her labour. She delivered a pup ~ every hour, with the final one coming shortly after 630AM. This litter is one of the most quiet litters I have ever had …. and socialization has begun in earnest. The pups will make their way to Victoria, BC, Calgary, AB, Seattle, WA, North Bay ON, Mississauga, ON, Sudbury, MA, Raleigh, NC …. and one remaining here.

The litter theme is different from previous ones, which usually drew on the nautical geographic location and the proximity to the wonderful beaches and access to the Atlantic ocean. Because Teddy (CH Limberlost S’more) is present in both the sire and dam lines, the theme is MORE S’MORE … Or, S’more.

‘8’ Litter

January 31, 2023

Bliss (CH Long Lane Heart of My Heart) delivered 8 puppies (4 females, 4 males) shortly after returning from her last vet check on January 31, 2023. This litter was a demanding one, primarily because Bliss lost her litter last year and I wanted to make certain the pups made it to their forever homes on Vancouver Island, Nelson, Calgary, Ottawa, Charlottetown, and Cambridge MA starting April 2, 2023.

‘SEA’ Litter

November 2, 2021
Harlow (CH Don’s Cirque du Soleil) delivered 8 puppies (5 girls, 3 boys with 1 girl sadly passing shortly after her birth) over 3 hours from late night to early morning (the exact hours of her previous delivery). These little puppies are precocious: early barkers, early teeth eruption, early escapes from the whelping box. All are solid puppies with fabulous structure! All pups have been spoken for and will travel to Philadelphia, PA, Milton, MA, Halifax, NS, Edmonton, AB, Rothsay, NB, Sackville, NS, and Burlington, ON.

‘SEAFARING’ Litter

February 17, 2021

Harlow (CH Don’s Cirque du Soleil) delivered 5 puppies on Ash Wednesday, 2 boys and 2 girls (with, sadly, one stillborn) over 3 hours. These puppies were active from birth and remained fearless of every event/challenge offered them. They travelled well to their new homes on Natucket Island, MA, in South Burlington, VA, and Saint John, NB. Two will be introduced to conformation and obedience at the appropriate age post-COVID.

‘STORM’ Litter

May 9, 2020

Harlow (CH Don’s Cirque du Soleil) was bred to Tom (US CH/SE U(u) CH SEV-10 Clussexx Pay Per View For Don’s) and delivered 8 puppies during a flash snow Saturday, May 9, 2020. These 8 puppies (6 girls and 2 boys) left the nest for their forever homes in Halifax, NS, Charlottetown, PEI, Victoria, BC, Kitchener, ON, Atlanta, GA, and Wilmington, NC. Harlow was a lovely and wonderful mother, very chilled through the whole process and took up surrogate mothering duties for Emma. These puppies are the calmest puppies …. just wait!

‘AHEAD’ Litter

May 5, 2020

Emma Sue (CH Clussexx Ahead of Her Time) came for a visit in January and stayed to be bred to frozen Quinn (GCH Rolyart’s Sound of Thunder). Emma delivered (although 2.5 days early) 7 very small puppies with two, sadly, passing on their second day. The remaining 5 were every bit as active and cheeky as their mother. True sparks! These puppies have gone to their forever homes in Worcester, MA; on Long Island, NY, Brattleboro, VT, Austin, TX, and New City, NY.
