Kennel great Dane interview



First blue dane arrived to Marjo Tapio 1990 (Grosso Dekoratis) which was waited for a long time. At those days, there were very little breeding of blue danes in Finland, and you easily had to wait for year or two to get a blue puppy.

Allready 1991 secong blue bitch arrived (Grosso Genesis). These two bitches became the ground of blue Genedda Danes. First litter was born 1992 dam: Grosso Dekoratis, sire: Grosso Coktailos, but there was only one puppy...

It was year 1994, when breeding really started; both these bitches whelped a litter, B and C. From B-litter should be mentioned following Champions: Boss is Back, Bond James and double Champion (Fin & Est) Bad Loser, who got her first certificat before the "color-certificates" beating the fawns and brindles!

C-litter was more unfortuned: This was the year we had distemper epidemic in Finland, and too many from this litter got sick and was put down. Only bitch left alive from this litter, Genedda Cool and Easy, was later mother of Genedda E-litter.

From D-litter, which was born 1995 (Fin Ch Genedda Bond James x Grosso Dekoratis), the most known dog is Fin Ch, Biss Genedda Double Cross. He was succesfull allready as a puppy, and later he was the top-winning blue dane in Finland -96, -97 and -98, loosing this title -99 to Genedda Femme Fatale. He also won the Finish Speciality 1997, being BIS-1 ,beating 220 Danes!

His brother Genedda De Luxe also became a Champion, and other brother, Genedda DJ´s Special was exported to USA, where he has sired 7 litters!

E-litter was born at the end of 1995, dam allready mentioned Cool and Easy and sire was Danish import Fin Ch Pinza´s Out of the Blue, which Marjo Tapio imported earlier this year.
Worth mentioning from this litter are: Fin Ch Genedda Extra Point, Fin Ch Genedda Easy Going, and Genedda Easy Rider, 2x certificat, but who unfortunately quit his show-career before getting the third.

F-litter 1996, was more like an "accident" than planned carefully; SirBlu Jamie of Blubak (USA import) had accidently bred the blue bitch SirBlu Genesis of Blubak (USA import) in Denmark, and the situation at the owner didn´t allow having puppies, so both these dogs came to Finland to Genedda. Worth mentioning are: male Genedda Funny Face 2 x certificat, bitch Genedda Fan-Tastic 2 x certificat and earlier mentioned Champion Genedda Femme Fatale, who was top- winning blue in Finland 1999 and Speciality BIS-2 at the same year.

First Harlequin litter, G-litter, was born 1997. Dam was Pir-Pauken Donna and sire was Countryrun Joey T, imported as a frozen semen. The result was marvellous: 7 puppies, which of 5 was with good show-markings, 1 white, and one harl male with not so good color... Genedda Gotta Love Me, harl bitch and Genedda Go For It, harl male was exported to Denmark. Champions became in Finland: Genedda Going Gets Stuff, also top-winning harl bitch-98 in Finland, male Genedda Gun Smoke, and a double Champion bitch (Fin & Est) Genedda Get Though. Genedda Got It Going On, the white male, even he had honour-prices dispite his color!

H-litter (1997) out of Fin & Dk & N Ch Sirblu Jamie of Blubak x Fin & Est Ch, BaltW-98 Genedda Bad Loser. Worth mentioning from this litter are: Genedda Hugs´n Kisses, blue bitch, Genedda Heart´n Soul, blue male with two certificates and Genedda Hot and Spicy, blue bitch, who was exported to Denmark.

I-litter was born at the same year as H, (Fin Ch Pinza´s Out of the Blue x Genedda Drooling Beauty), pro- ducing World Junior Winner-98 Genedda I´m just a Kid. Anno Domino 1995 Marjo Tapio had imported two black danes from USA, bitch Fin & Est Ch Countryrun Surprise v Genedda, who´s sire was famous Am & Can Ch Willowrun´s Wysiwyg Gulliver, and male Haltmeiers More Than Words. H.More Than Words, "Erkki", dispite of his bold pedigree, didn´t become show quality, but together these two imports produced 1997 J-litter= Fin Ch Genedda Just Kidding.

Anno Domino 1998 K-litter was born (Fin Ch Genedda De Luxe x Fin Ch Bonel Divine Genedda), which of blue bitch was exported to Estonia, being there top-winning Blue 1999, and BIS-3 in their speciality!

Also at the very same year, was born L-litter. Sired by Vanmore Blue Denim, an Englishman who lives in Sweden. This far has Genedda Licence to Kiss, and Fin Ch Genedda Lousy Looser (2x certificat allready as a junior) made their appearance in show-rings. Genedda New Blue Genes was exported to USA.

Finally 1999 there was second and third Genedda harlequin litters, M-(Int & S & N & Fin Ch Necku Stars´n Stripes x Fin Ch Genedda Going Getts Tuff) and N-(Fin & Dk Ch Kingsize Destination Denmark x Fin & Est Ch Genedda Get Though) litters. Kingsize Destination Denmark, bred in Sweden, raised in Denmark, but having totally English-pedigree, was just imported at the same year in Finland to Genedda. His doughter, Horsebjerg Mystery v Genedda was imported earlier, winter 1998. She has won by this far The color-show, being BIS-1!

Now, being March 2000 we are waiting our O-(Genedda Licence to Kiss x Fin & Est Ch Genedda Bad Loser) and P-litters (Fin Ch Genedda Just Kidding x Fin & Est & Lv Ch Genedda Easy Going) to be born soon, but to tell you about them, it might be just too early...

The benefits of micro-chipping Lancashire Heelers


Micro-Chipping
The benefits of micro-chipping Lancashire Heelers.

Apart from the rather obvious reasons for micro-chipping, reuniting lost dogs with their owners and helping to identify and recover stolen dogs, the micro-chip also serves a great purpose in our breed as a permanent identification method.

I will use our own system as a way to explain.

When our puppies are around 6 weeks old and before any paperwork is completed, we chip each puppy. They henceforth identifiable as individuals.

The puppies are taken to be eye tested for COLLIE EYE ANOMALY at around 7 weeks, the pups are scanned and each result is written alongside each pups unique micro-chip number.

The puppies are then registered with the Kennel Club and the registration papers come back not only with their name on but with their micro-chip number as well. When a buyer then comes to collect his/her puppy and are shown the eye test result they can see instantly which result is for their puppy. We have our own scanner to read the micro-chip numbers and identification is both positive and immediate.

If there is only one CEA clear in a litter of lets say 4 males, what is to stop an unscrupulous breeder from telling all 4 new owners that their puppy is the one with the clear result if they aren't micro-chipped???

Also, with the problem of Lens Luxation, if a dog changes hands a couple of times and the registration papers are lost, how will we identify its parentage if it tests as being PLL Affected if it isn't micro-chipped.

It is also a good cover for the breeder, as no one can accuse him/her of being nothing but truthful with puppy results.

We micro-chip every puppy born at Doddsline/Hotpot and feel everyone who breeds should be doing so. We hope that it will eventually become a legal requirement.
WHAT IS MICROCHIPPING?

Microchipping has been in use since 1989 and is the best way to permanently identify a dog.

The chip itself is no bigger than a small grain of rice. To prevent the body rejecting the chip it, is cased in a biocompatible glass, the same as that used in the human pacemaker

The microchip is inserted through the loose skin at the back of the neck by way of a tool rather like an earpearcing gun. It is quick easy and although a little discomfort may be felt is usually pain free

Each chip has its own unique number. Once implanted, the implanter records the number, his details and the new owners name and address on a sheet which is then sent to be recorded on a national database. The new owner will receive a certificate via post about a week later to tell them that the dog has been registered on the database and there will also be an address for the new owner to send off to so they can register a change of address if they move home.

A microchip should last for a dogs lifetime and is a very inexpensive way of permanently identifying your dog or a breeders stock.
