Dr. Vanderlip performed a C-section on Champion August Moon Jewel at Sundown (aka Jade) and delivered four beautiful, healthy,  Shih Tzu puppies. Here is an armful of three of the four. Congratulations Kim Guinn of Sundown Shih Tzu!

We are happy to congratulate Michele Grenkow of MiHi Kennels on her new litter of  eight Great Dane puppies, sired by Champion Sunstrike Romeo! The dam is beautiful Canadian Champion Milti’s I Cause Power Outages. As documented in our Featured Stories, this is the third frozen semen litter sired by Romeo. All three litters were produced non-surgically, via transcervical insemination technique, using semen that was collected, processed, and frozen by Dr. Vanderlip. In Romeo’s first two frozen semen litters, born in New Zealand, there were 6 puppies in each litter. Not to be outdone, Canadian Champion Milti’s I Cause Power Outages  produced 8 Great Dane puppies on June 13, 2011! We expect these puppies to follow family tradition and take the show ring by storm!

When it came time to breed Champion Starline’s Fendissime at Oxford (Fendi) to Champion Starline’s Sovereign (Ashton), the challenges were many. Dr. Vanderlip collected, processed, and froze Ashton’s semen and shipped it to Idaho for the insemination. But winter weather and technical and transit problems prevented the laboratory from providing important  test results needed to precisely time the procedure. Despite limited laboratory information, Dr. Vanderlip helped determine the best breeding date and on March 31, 2010, Fendi gave birth to nine gorgeous, healthy, whippet puppies!

Success! Fendi and her nine beautiful babies! 7 females and 2 males!

Congratulations to Danielle Jacobsen of Sunbeam Whippets and to Lori Lawrance of Starline Whippets on this beautiful litter of future champions!

Exciting update…shortly after Fendi’s breeding, Dr. Vanderlip shipped Ashton’s frozen semen to another champion whippet and she has recently given birth to five beautiful puppies! Check back soon for details on this second litter!

In late 2009 New Zealand BISS Champion Congistador Once Only whelped a gorgeous litter of six healthy puppies sired by American BISS Champion Sunstrike Romeo.

Dr. Sharon Vanderlip collected, processed,  froze, and shipped “Romeo’s” semen to New Zealand. Watch for these beauties in the New Zealand show ring soon!

Gunner was produced from ICSB frozen semen. Dr. Vanderlip performed the transcervical artificial insemination. But Gunner was a singleton and HUGE. His mother, Genni She’s My Girl Evans, needed help! So Dr. Vanderlip also performed the C-section.

Gunner is as patriotic as he can be! He’s red, white, and blue! Red color, white markings, and blue eyes! Perfect for a puppy born on the Fourth of July!
Gunner’s sire is Champion Kadyak’s Meet the Press.

Oh…and by the way, Gunner’s mother, Genni, was also produced from artificial insemination performed by Dr. Vanderlip!

Gunner is proudly owned and loved by Mark and Judy Evans.
