Vala had 4 beautiful pups on the 20th. Three have been sold, and the fourth has a deposit pending. Thank you to
all who are inquiring, and please let me know if you'd like to be put on the list for the next litter.
Meanwhile, please scroll down and enjoy the history of past litters.
This picture brings joy to my heart. Why? Denbigh pup is getting exercise, and plenty of it, by the looks of it. That's
great, and necessary for a healthy body and mind. And it's great that Aaron is getting some at the same time.
But look closer. See that red to the right of the pup? That's his leash. Although Denbigh is "at liberty" and running
with his pack leader, his brilliant leader has left a handle on the dog, and this is what thrills me so. Pup protection rules,
or it should. Tragedy can happen in a heartbeat. Little things we do can make our furry friends safe as they learn to navigate
the new world, and become responsive to us.
Thank you Arron. I sleep better at night, knowing how much you care, and that you are a thinking dog-man.
Now, some pictures of Val and Gladwyn's new litter........
| New Mom |
|
| All delivered, let's rest! |
I'm always amazed at how little they are!
Getting good pictures of these littles is always a surprise. Sometimes you just get feet.
Barbara and her mom came out before whelping to meet the pack. They were welcomed heartily, and with Kissing Rock kisses.....
Great moments are fleeting, as was the one when both Glad (above left) and Vala (right) gave a kiss at the same time!
"Fleeting?" they ask. "No, not us, we're here to stay." Young Tegwyn kisses too. There was just not enough room in Barbara's
arms. Be assured, she did get her turn.

Vala will whelp mid/late April. Two pups are reserved by deposit at this time. If you are interested in a pup,
please mail to welshie at kissingrockcamp dot com, or phone me at 276-677-3851.
Her vet saw 4 pups on unltrsound. We're all looking forward to seeing them on the ground. Spring pups. What a delight!
The pups from Fan's litter are all thrilled to be in their new packs. As Isabel says about Kevin........"I think he likes
it here!"
2/10/09
Fanny had three pups in late December. All are sold, and new families are containing their excitement until the last weekend
of the month. Thank goodness February is the short month!
Vala is coming into heat, and will be bred when she will stand.
Here are the boys and girl. Kevin, Denbeigh and Kasey.
Fanny keeps a watchful eye on the pups as they explore the smaller wood piles. These are some brave 5 week old pups!
If you think you may be interested in a Kissing Rock pup, please inquire. Mail to welshie at kissingrockcamp dot com,
or phone 276-677-3851. Vala's pups will be by Gladwyn. If all goes according to schedule, they should be ready for you mid/late
June. Puppy breath RULES!

What a crazy late summer/fall it has been! Fanny was due to come into heat in late August, but did not. September passed.
As did most of October. By the time she got bred, 4 pups were sold! Meanwhile, Tegwyn arrived from Ohio.
What a little beauty she is! Gladwyn's daughter, and it shows in her quiet intelligence, and her lovely body. She's square,
and at this point, quite the little chunk of Welsh Terrier.
Vala is her best buddy. They race around the farm like dogs, keeping the squirrel and rabbit population in line.
Next breeding should occur in January, when Vala comes in.
Of course, there are no guarantees on that, as Fanny just showed us. But please mail if you'd like to be notified.
We've joined up with a new web site, where you can get Welsh Terrier information; read reviews, view photos and ask questions.
Check them out at the link below.

All pups in the June litters are reserved by deposit. The next planned litter is an August breeding, with pups available
around Christmas if all goes well.
Please scroll down to visit with the Kissing Rock Welshies, and mail us if you are interested in someone from the next
litter. Thanks for visiting.

Mattie graced us with 6 pups Friday morning. 3 boys, 3 girls.
Everybody is fine 2 days out.
5 of the little black blobs are reserved by deposit. One male remains available.
It will be an exciting summer, as we watch closely for their personalities to start to come out of there, and determine
who goes where. And of course, to see how these little blobs grow into the beautiful dogs their lines produce.
5/12/08
Gladwyn has been bred to Mattie, who is a Fanny daughter out of her second litter.
We're very excited about this litter! Mattie is a beautiful girl, correct, and with a fun-loving and vibrant personality.
If all goes well, she will whelp late June, with pups ready for you in late August.
Mattie has had an ultrasound, and is carrying 6 pups. They will be whelped in Ohio. Pups are priced at $1,000 with limited
registration. The owner prefers not to ship, but delivery in late August can be arranged to some locations, and other methods
of delivery can be arranged.
If you are interested in discussing purchase, please mail me at info at (replace with @ symbol) kissingrockcamp.com, subject
line Welsh pup.
Thanks for stopping by! Please scroll down to see Fanny, Val and Gladwyn, and some previous litters.
Here's Gladwyn wearing his new summer cut.
Glad continues to develop into a lovely dog. He is earnest, honest, and oh-so-willing to cypher out what will earn him a "Good
Boy!"
April 2008
All pups have been placed in fabulous homes! The girls and I are going to take a break until summer heats. Gladwyn is
NOT happy about that, but we ladies need it!
I expect to be breeding again come August, and have pups around Christmas. If you are interested in talking about the
possibility of a pup around that time, I'm happy to talk to you at any time.

One lovely girl awaits her new home. She is 9 weeks old, and a very elegant little scamp. Here she is (on the left) last
week, with her brother, who now lives in Tucson, Arizona.
And the Terriers speak. They say........"Well, you know Mom, we ARE Terriers, and if we happen to find a bit of bird
who didn't make it, we will pick it up and trot proudly around with it. Deal with it!"
So I deal with it. By taking their pictures. Here is that wise and elegant girl.
With her......feathers.

Time flies when you've got pups! Everybody is so healthy and active that they really keep me watching where I run.
Here they are, from 2 weeks to present.......
At two weeks, we've grown quite nicely, and our eyes are open, looking around at our new diggs.
We don't walk real well yet, but we're tryin'!
Mostly, what we like to do best is nurse, bite mama Val.....
..and snuggle up for naps. Lots and lots of naps.
At three weeks, we're starting to get our legs under us, and learning to work them so that we can go where we want to.
Like out of our kennel.
We are learning to look precious at that big person, and we are learning.......
Yes! We are learning to go Woooooooooooooooooooo!
4 1/2 weeks old. This is the first trip outside. Finally! The weather had just been too cold to get them out. They were ready!
Into the basket we go.
Looking around. Hey! It's big and strange out here!
Wobble, wobble.......Over we go! WoW! What's that thing under our feet! It smells all kinds of smells! Let's walk on it....
It didn't take long to get started exploring. First thing they wanted to know was "What's that white stuff?"
6 weeks old. One male and one female remain available.

Happy New Year to all.
Pups are here! On 12/27, Vala whelped 5 pups. There are 2 males and 3 females. At 8 days old, they are growing fast and
fat. Their little coats shine with a purple hue, and they snuffle around, eager to see the world. For now they have to be
content with smelling and hearing it.
The boys are very masculine, with nice broad necks and shoulders. The girls display a lovely feminine look. Vala and Gladwyn
have produced a very nice litter!
One of the girls rests between nursing and snuffling around.
The boys just hanging around, waiting for their stomachs to tell them that they need to find momma.
limited registration
If you are planning to show or breed, please let me know, and regular registration can be discussed.

Sigh. I am pupless for now. As nice as it is to see such happiness being brought to folks by these pups, it's hard not
to feel just a bit empty-nestish.
Little King Leonidas asks his new mom for a boost up off the chilly ground.
Merry Christmas. Leo and Alexis, new best friends.
One of the joys of breeding is folks sending me pictures of the pups, all grown up! Here's little Leo, maybe not ALL grown
up, but well on his way. Rags to Riches!
Before his first haircut~
And here is the handsome boy, just a little bit older, and with a proper cut. I am constantly amazed by how beautiful these
fuzzy pups become.

After a refreshing wallow in the new skiff of snow, Fanny keeps a watchful eye on the pups. They are 6 weeks old, and
they keep me, their Aunt Vala and Fanny pretty busy.
Gladwyn is an interested and active daddy-dog. He teaches the pups the meaning of rough and tumble. Learning to respect the
Big Dogs is a valuable lesson for a little pup.
Aunt Vala is a wonderful baby-sitter. She teaches the difference between fun time talkies and growly-face.
Spirit flies at the sound of someone wanting to see her! All the pups are so anxious to please! And be hugged. Give doggy
kisses.
All the pups like to help Fanny as much as they can. Huggy helps clean the snowballs off mom's foot. Or perhaps she is just
being pesky. They do that to me too, even when I don't have snowballs.
The Jack Grace is the primary teacher of the meaning of Ugly Face. A veteran mom, she is invaluable to us in making the pups
safe as they prepare for new homes. Fanny keeps a close eye on the lesson.

Fanny had 4 pups on October 21st. They are the cutest little black slugs! All are doing well. There are 3 girls and a
boy.
All have been sold.
Congratulations to the new moms and dads!
I'll be spending the next months getting to know the pups, and the new families, to insure a good match for all.
Vala and Glad have been bred. She should be whelping around the first of the year, with pups ready the first week of March

Fanny has been ultra sounded, and is carrying at least 3 pups. They should be whelped around the middle of October, and
ready for new homes right at Christmas.
HO, HO, HO! What's on my list for Santa are perfect homes for these little bundles of joy!
Fanny will want to know what you are going to do with her pup, where it will live, and if you know what you are getting
into by bringing a terrier dog into your family.
Gladwyn (Cactus Jack of Happytails) is the sire.

The boys turned 1 week old on friday. They are fat and shiny. I swear that when I got home from work last Thursday, said
"Wow! You guys have gotten BIGGER while I was gone!"
And so it goes. I am eagerly awaiting the Opening of the Eyes, for that is the beginning of t.r.o.u.b.l.e.
Fun kind of trouble. Laughnig over it kind of trouble.
Oh boys, here we go.
It was a beautiful sunny day, so the pack went outside for the first time.
Lots of napping going on. Calm before the storm.
Vala thought they should play in the dirt and grass, despite my laying down of the flannel sheet. They did not seem to
mind. It did not disturb their repose.
April, 2007
Vala presented us with pups yesterday. All went well, and they are bright and shiny little fellers. Fellers? As in boy
dogs?
Yes, all male. And if they are like their sire, or grandsire, they'll be fantastic dogs!
If you are interested in seeing Gladwyn's sire, Ch Purston As Good As It Gets, click on Happy Tails below to go to his
home kennel website in Romania.
Happy Tails
On the left of the page, when you hover your mouse over "Gents" a menu will appear, and you can click the Goody
button to see Glad's sire.
You can also see his half-brother Alex, by clicking the link that says "Alex-Junior World Winner in Dortmond"
Glad says he wants to be a show dog, because he has so many brothers and sisters that have earned Championships and Junior
Championships! We'll see.
Unfortunately, Fanny turned up not pregnant. We'll try again in fall.
Please send an e-mail if you are interested in discussing possible purchase of one of these great little boys.
Here's little Gryphon's Rocket Radar, waiting patiently for his flight to Washington last winter. He was 9 weeks old, with
the wisdom and patience of a Saint.
Rocky boy is all grown up now. He writes his mama Fanny, on a regular basis, with news of what he is doing. He's a good boy,
and writes regularly.
His last letter:
Hi Mama!
Gess what? We gotz bunnirabbetz here. Mossatime the be outta da fence, but Sonar sez he cached one be4. The peeksure
inna box proves you ken catchum.
I'm gonna tri hard!
Luv,
Rocket Man
Rocky don spel 2 gud, but that's ok. Fanny doesn't read all that well.
He often has his people include an attached picture of himself which he calls putting "peeksure inna box".
He's so vain, he probably thinks this site is about him!
March, 2007
Myfanawy and Vala were bred in late February and early March. If all goes well, that should produce a passell of pups
ready to meet their new people in late June.
Gladwyn is the sire. Please scroll down for some pictures of Fan, Val and Glad, previous litters too.
Gladwyn, the Happy Friend, is growing into a good looking dog. He and his friend Vala are quite the playpals, and have
a couple of great tricks. My favorite is the "double fetch".
2006
Fanny whelped on July 7th. The litter consists of 3 males and one female. They have all been sold.
Congratulations to the new families. Pups are going to Washington, Ohio, New York and Mass.
Another litter is planned for next Spring. As fast as summer has gone by, it will seem like no time at all.
Deposits are always accepted on future litters. Seems like there are just not enough of these little darlin's to go around!
The females are priced at $950, males at $850, with limited registration.
Regular registration is also available.
Fanny will be bred this Spring, as will her daughter Vala.
Gladwyn will be the sire.
It's been a warm winter so far, so I've been doing a little winter gardening, preparing for spring planting.
Vala is a big help.

Here is "Smitty" sire of Fanny's '06 litter, with Vala offering her bone. She is such a generous pup!

Gladwyn arrived a couple of weeks ago. His sire is a Champion, and his dam a Jr. Champion. Both are Romanian bred. Check back
in for links to their home site.
Please send me an e-mail if you would like to be contacted as information on the litter is available.
This is what it is all about.....
A boy and a dog. Default title to the picture is "someonetorunwith". It's something we all need, and through my
life, running with dogs has added to my life so markedly that it fills me with joy to see scenes such as I have in the last
three days.
Here's Leo, who was denied a bottle of water today, as it belonged to Andy. I believe the quote was "I found out
this morning that I had decended a rung in the pecking order". The kindness and love with which he spoke those words
earns him Kissing Rock's "Dogman" award for 2005.
Congratulations, Leo!
