Ghibli's "Oops" Singleton Puppy

Accidental breedings are something that is entirely possible in any breeding program where males and females live together. They do not define a breeder. What defines a breeder is how they deal with the accident. I have always been honest and transparent about the accident. We changed our stud management practices and we have not had another accident since.

We discovered just two weeks after my very first litter was born when I had taken Wishes into the vet for what I feared was pyometra symptoms (a life threatening infection of the uterus left untreated), that she was pregnant instead. The symptoms that I thought were pyometra were actually sadly complications because one of her puppies had passed away early in utero. We named the only surviving puppy Miracle. We performed DNA tests on all our studs and it was determined that Sunny sired her through the kennel. Although accidental, both the dam and the sire were fully health tested and Category 10 unrelated. Although we had other studs picked out for Wishes, it wasn't a bad pairing and together they produced a structurally nice and diverse puppy. We decided to keep her back to become part of our breeding program and gave her the special name of Ghibli's Move Mountains.
