Pointer Litter Maude x Verso, born April 6, 2018

Birdsboro Yaba “Maude” x Franzini Verso JH “Verso”

Verso is an Italian import that comes from one of the top kennels in Europe. His kennel is known for their remarkable heads in particular. Verso has a beautiful, but moderate dish face so will be a good fit with our breeding program. Maude is tightly linebred on our Birdsboro lines (her parents are Birdsboro Counting Crows “August/Augie” and Birdsboro Good Will Hunting “Will”), which is great as we know that her genes are sound in temperament, confirmation (looks), and hunting ability. However, we are careful not to breed dogs too closely genetically, so were looking for an outcross breeding for her. Our goal was to choose a Pointer from an unrelated line that had the same wonderful traits our breeding dogs have. Verso’s owner contacted us about our breeding program, and we knew immediately that this pedigree would be a perfect match for Verso. We have been planning this litter for some time, and are beyond excited. Verso has already produced some very nice puppies. As is true of all of our breedings, both parents are magnificent pets (good with kids, cats, other dogs, etc) and hunters. Verso has OFA good hips, normal elbows, normal eyes, and thyroid. Maude is also healthy and her hip radiographs appear good/excellent (they are pending OFA result). Maude had a HUGE litter of 12 puppies. Due to the large litter size, we ended up needing to take her in for a c-section, and fortunately 10 of the puppies survived and mom did great. Because of this, this will be Maude’s second and final litter. We typically only breed our girls once or twice at Birdsboro.

Maude had 8 absolutely beautiful puppies via c-section on April 6, 2018.  As expected, we got very heavily marked puppies… which we are thrilled about.  Maude and Verso are the proud parents of 3 orange and white boys, 3 black and white girls, and 2 orange and white girls.  

This was Maude’s second litter, and so we spayed her at surgery as we had planned.  We only breed our girls one or two times at Birdsboro in nearly every case… and we are so grateful for their contribution to our breeding program.

The theme for this litter is the Peanuts Characters.  Owners can choose any character from the comic series they like.  So registered name examples are Birdsboro Charlie Brown, Birdsboro Sally, etc.  The call name you choose can be related to the registered name, or completely different.
