I reluctantly met up with Steve today to return Flynn. I absolutely would have loved to keep Flynn forever! He is a super lover boy vizsla who has that special vizsla magic that you can feel.
Now I keep telling Desi that she needs to give me a boy puppy just like his daddy ;)
....should be his name ;)
We picked up Desi's boyfriend Flynn yesterday from his owner Steve. It is considered somewhat unconventional for the owner of the bitch to get the stud dog and handle the breedings, however it is an option in some cases and funny enough this has been the situation for both of Desi's breedings.
One really nice thing about having the stud dog at our house is that we can really see what their day to day temperament is and how they handle the chaos of living in our house. Flynn has not disappointed us in any way. He handled the long car ride (Ohio to Illinois) without issue even being kenneled next to a ripe bitch in standing heat. He was quiet and slept.
After we arrived home we let him have the run of the house (alone) so he could get the lay of the land. He never jumped up on our couches (though we do allow this), tried to get into the garbage or attempted the ever popular vizsla trait of counter surfing. Needless to say I was impressed.
The next test came with Ethan... How would Flynn react to a crazy toddler and a house full of his uber annoying toys? Add to that a newborn who likes to cry and a nekkid kitty... Flynn handled it all in stride - he truly is a perfect gentleman and has impeccable house manners. He does not chase the cat - he does point him and when he isn't looking, the cat stalks him LOL! He goes into his crate easily and does not make a peep or carry on. This is unlike Fire who is more then happy to continually remind us that Desi is in season and that he knows about it. Does anyone have some ear plugs??
Keep your fingers crossed and think puppy thoughts for our Desi Devil!
Desi did it again.... she came into season early. I have been suspecting something for a few days and today was the start.
Time to make a few phone calls and set up her arranged marriage to Flynn. Keep your fingers crossed!
I will keep you updated.......
