" Jasna"

  

Jasna has returned to Wisconsin to live up there to raise her last litter of puppies and then she will be retired.  Jasna has been such a bundle of joy and so enjoys being around people especially kids.  I miss her so much but know she's being well cared for by Katrina of Kiraleea JS.  thanks Katrina! 

 It's official, the surgery was a success.  Jasna had all natural matings to Niko and 3 healthy pups were born!  2 males and 1 female... Thank you Katrina  ; )  Niko left for Sweden on December 23 so we were very fortunate to get to use him as he'll be with Carina in Sweden for the next year!   I am keeping the female from this litter so we'll see what we are blessed with from little miss Anya.  Puppies were born February 21, 2010.

     October 24, 2009 Jasna made the journey to Wisconsin to stay with Katrina of Kiraleea JS.  She had her surgery there and then in late December we mated her to Niko just before he left for Sweden...   Missed her so much!!!  Just might have to make a trip up north to see my babies... But I think the snow will be a treat for her and she'll do well in Katrina's pack since Jasna makes 11 now.  Thanks to Katrina for doing all this for me!!!  Jasna is set to explore the farm on a retractable lead to start, she's a quick learner so I doubt she'll be on that long before she's free to run around the 42 acre farm!  She's going to love it!  I'm jealous that's for sure!  Have fun baby girl!

     After many attempts Jasna had her first litter on August 18, 2008.  We noted 4 puppies on this ultrasound that were doing well and that's exactly how many she's delivered! Three girls and one boy, they were big pups and have all gone to their new homes.  One girl remained with me, Miley, one girl, Frida moved to Mexico where her new owner hopes to get the breed recognized and begin showing her, another girl, Belle stayed here in Texas with a wonderful family and the one male Haruo flew to New York!  All the pups are doing great in their new homes... can't wait to see their growing up photos!  Jasna was such a good mom too, she played with the pups and did really well cleaning up after them until it was time to starting potty training them...  She blew her coat just after we weaned the pups and still hasn't begun to come into her new one so she's looking a little bare at the moment!  Too bad it's not summer time, instead we're getting these cold fronts moving through Texas and it's been a bit chilly... so none of the dogs have been outside for too long, they like the warmth of the indoors : )

     Jasna is definitely my alpha dog, though she is aware I'm alpha whenever I'm home.  She so funny to watch when she's playing with Miley, I have to remind her that she has to still be gentle, Miley is still a pup (only 16 weeks now) and while it's her daughter she mustn't play soo rough : )   Overall though Jansa is such a sweet dog.  She loves to run so much so I'm seriously considering looking into agility training for her... it would be good for both of us!

Toby and Jasna take First Place for the UKC 2007 Top Ten Show Dog Competition for the breed!  They have been invited to the 2007 Top 10 dogs competition on June 12, 2008 in Michigan... oh how I wish we could attend this one too!  

 
JASNA EARNS HER UKC CHAMPION TITLE February 25, 2007!!  She is the first Japanese Spitz to earn the title!

   Jasna arrived in Texas on May 10, 2006 after a very long flight from Denmark to Houston, Texas.  Donna drove from New Braunfels to Houston to pick her up, only 3 hours away, not too shabby!  She was so precious from day one!  Jasna has a very wonderful temperament.  She is very loving and affectionate.  Upon her arrival Jordan, my eldest daughter claimed Jasna as her dog.  Jasna is so much fun!  She loves to cuddle up close to you and is really very affectionate.  She enjoys being close and is really a very mellow puppy.  Jasna really is a joy to have, very calm and trusting of everyone.  She makes friends with everyone, though she wants to be the alpha dog, she is learning that it's me who's alpha and that seems to be going over well : )  

  Jasna's first show was at the International Dog Show July 1-2 in Hutto, Texas.  She did well.  The judges liked her but truly didn't know the breed as they continued to look at the standard before each show.  She received good marks and gained some valuable experience in the show ring.  Jordan was able to show here at this show both in the main ring to assist me as we showed both Jasna and Mia in puppy class as well as Jordan showed Jasna for the Junior Showman.  They did great and Jordan earned high marks at her showing!  In October 2006 Jasna joined me and Warry at the Windy City Classic in Chicago, IL.  Jasna won many hearts !  She is a love bug and very friendly to everyone!  She tolerated all the other boys, she and Mishka were the only females at the show and she did awesome, took 3 of the 4 shows for Winners Bitch and for Best of Opposite for the breed.  It was so much fun!

  Jasna is my character to say the least.  She has yet to fully learn her name, she comes to "dogs" as I call them inside and send them outside, so I've been working extra hard with her to remind her she has a name ; )  She is a beauty and I truly love having her as part of my family.  I can't wait til January when I can start showing her again!  She is a spitting image of her mama - Candy of Jasam's Kennel in Norway.   I feel very fortunate that Hanne trusted me to have such a wonderful show dog!!!

 Jasna's show career is going well.  She has earned her championship title of UKC Champion now and will continue to compete towards becoming a Grand Champion once we've championed a few other JS's to give her some competition.  I'm very proud of her and her accomplishments.  With Toby now in the picture she has some serious competition to contend with.  Warry puts up a pretty good fight too but Toby is going to be the one to beat now!  She is showing some great potential to put up that fight too!  I look forward to when Toby is 6 months and they do begin to compete against one another.  Jasna is two wins away from earning her ARBA championship as well.  She did very well at our last ARBA show March 30 - April 1, 2007.  She took Winners bitch, and best of breed for all four shows.  We have another UKC show coming in July so I hope to get her back into the ring with Toby and see how things work out!

Jasna came into season again but we did not get a pregnancy for this one.  Will try with Orlando of Kiraleea JS in Wisconsin.  We have found that Jasna is extremely small and an AI may be needed for the first pregnancy. We will see how it goes this summer though.

We attended the UKC show in Hutto, TX July 21-22, 2007 and Jasna did great.  She took Champion of Champions for all four shows, though Toby beat her out for Best of Breed each show.  She is out of coat which didn't help, but she and Kelsi did great in Jr Showmanship!  We all had fun that weekend and had some fun with friends we've been meeting up with each show in Texas.
