Proud breeder post

As an ethical preservation breeder, it gives me great pleasure when a puppy who is placed as a show prospect grows up to fulfill that promise.

As a breeder we try our best to breed a good puppy and put them out there, but 80% of the credit goes to the owner and handler in being able to bring out the best in the puppy and train him for the show ring.

Huge congratulations to Sreetama Manna and family for having raised POPEYE spectacularly and for having given attention to each and every detail necessary.

They have never let any stone unturned and have constantly been in touch for guidance, for support and have become such great friends.

A Home which is every breeder's dream, did come true in this case, three cheers to them.

And on the training and Handling aspect I give all credit to Nilesh Shahi Rajput and Subham Mukhiya for having given their best in transforming this big pudding of a Boxer into the stellar Stallion he is (Still in the making).

It takes a village they say.

As an ethical preservation breeder who has one or two litters per year, the best you can do is

- Plan your next breeding with the best stud dog in mind which compliments your girl's virtues and vices.

- Raise the puppies well for a sleep deprived span of 3 months 😁😁☺️

- Hope you are placing a good show prospect puppy in the best home after stringent back to back conversations screening them.

- Then you start thawing up and feel comfy when you see the puppy updates from the new home, on how he is spoilt and taken care of as a family member and not just as a dog.

The "MOMENT OF TRUTH" though is when you see the little promising puppy being cared for and nurtured into a fantastic SHOW DOG ticking all the boxes of good upkeep, socialising, training etc

The moment of truth for me with POPEYE was during his debut show at the North Calcutta Kennel Club's dog shows over the weekend where he went to win

Under Mr. John Stanton (Australia)

- Puppy Class first
- Dog CC (Winners Dog)
- Best puppy in breed

Under Mr. Antoan J. Hlebarov (Bulgaria)

- Puppy Class First
- Dog CC (Winners Dog)

We are extremely proud of Sreetama Manna , Nilesh Shahi Rajput and the whole of team Popeye for doing all the right things to get him where he is today.
