In March 2007 I left Quoia in Maine to be bred. It was not a breeding with my supervision or presence yet was to be handled accurately, monitored and the person handling this was to be sure they knew what was going on. This is the part I say be careful who you trust! The original plan was for Quoia to be bred with Siberweilers Gage at Kazlo. After several attempts I was notified that absolutely NOTHING was happening between them and it was suggested to put her with someone else. I was hesitant at first and asked several times if these two had been monitored and that Kazlo was positive nothing was happening! She assured me she was and hats when Kazlo's Slammin Seymour was chosen. I was informed that breeding went off perfectly. I watched the yearling's grow, looked at structure, build, and personality. And from the time they were a year I was sure they were not Seymours. In January of 09 I decided it was appropriate to run a DNA test on all. Why? Because if I was questioning who they are it was not ok to register them with the possibility of some day ever considering them for breeding. Well here we are May of 2009. The results are in and I was absolutely correct. This entire litter is NOT a product of Seymour. This entire litter is a creation of Quoia and Gage! I'm not the least bit unhappy in Gage being the father, nor am I the least bit shocked or surprised that Kazlo didn't pay attention and wasn't honest. |
