The Criminals
2023 Manchester Terrier Puppies
Sire: Marbil's Dishonorable Intentions at Fwaggle "Nixon"
Dam: RBIS GCHB Raintree Earendil I Can Handle Myself RA VB ETD FITG CHOF CROM "Rey"
Rey delivered her puppies, 4 girls (Red, Purple, Yellow, and Pink) and 2 boys (Blue and Green), early on Sunday, November 19th, 2023. Since their father's name is Nixon, I decided this litter's "theme" would be Criminals, and their new families got to choose their registered names within this theme. I refer to the puppies by their collar colours until their new families have picked their name!
We’ve kept Yellow, now known as Alibi, BPISS CH Curlious I Rest My Case RN VN NTD.
Health Testing Results
Both Rey and Nixon are clear/normal for the gene responsible for both Xanthinuria and Juvenile Dialated Cardiomyopathy, which makes the puppies of this litter clear by parentage. Rey is a carrier of Von Willebrands, but Nixon is clear. This means none of the puppies would inherit two genes for Von Willebrands, but they could be carriers like their mother. Carriers do not show any sympoms, but it is important to breed them with clear mates, so none of their offspring will be affected. Each puppy in the litter was tested, and here are the resuts:
| CH Curlious Book 'Em At Dragonsong | Blue | MT-VW274/2M-PI | Clear |
| RBIS CH Curlious Devil's Advocate RN TDCH NS CA VN IBRH IBAR SD-A RAT | Green | MT-VW275/2M-PI-CAR | Carrier |
| Curlious I Fought The Law | Red | MT-VW276/2F-PI | Clear |
| Curlious Greasin' The Wheels | Purple | MT-VW277/2F-PI | Clear |
| BPISS CH Curlious I Rest My Case RN VN NTD | Yellow | MT-VW278/2F-PI | Clear |
| Curlious Machine Gun Molly | Pink | MT-VW279/2F-PI | Clear |
Weight Chart
I take the puppies weights twice a day for the first week, once a day for the next two weeks, and then weekly. This chart is listed in pounds.
