Couple weeks ago we sent home the Chaos Litter AND Corva!

Bellator’s Public Enemy “Scandal” - now called “Orca” - complete with his very own stuffed Orca and various other sea theme toys went home with the Zemmel family!

“Corva” - finished her AKC Championship and as promised gets to retire to the life of spoiled couch champion joining a Brother Corgi and Sister Basenji with the Carbonell/Brace family! Corva is AKC Ch Bellator N Annandael’s Lilac And Gooseberries (GCh Bellator’s The Truth Is Out There With Dark Moon x Ch Annandael’s Universe Made Manifest)

Bellator’s Witching Hour “Salem” - now called “Rocket” went home with the Aiub family and is making sure everyone in the family understands his demands for pets and attention! He was never shy in telling you what he wanted!

That leaves Bellator’s Hex and Havoc “Mayhem”, who will be “Growing up Bellator” for a while and seeing if he matures into the future show dog we hope he will!

You may also notice a slight change from the first picture to the rest of the pictures….welcome to the family “new couch” 🤣 the dogs have thoroughly inspected it and approved….it’s even bigger than the last one! Thank you Robb Huhn for always taking care of us!!

Maxine….

June 16, 2015 - August 5, 2026

There will never be anyone as special as you, nothing can fill the void you leave, no better Auntie Maxine at raising puppies and tolerating their antics with the utmost patience.

Although you mostly lived behind the scenes, you probably individually received the most comments on your “passed out dog” pose in all the group photos. If naps were an Olympic sport, you were number one always.

You joined us at age four, but honestly, I can’t remember a time without you. I’m glad you weren’t a fast racer, so you retired early and got to come live with us. You were everything I wanted…and more. Osteosarcoma had other plans…

Thank you for your kisses, even though they were always really wet.

Thank you for your insistence on getting pets and attention, even when that meant you head butted to get your point across.

Thank you for your endless love and patience.

We miss you Maxy Max. Love you forever and always.

RIP Bellator’s Oshkosh Maxine

Two flew the coop!

Last weekend two of the basenji babies left for their new adventures!

Huge congrats to the Clopp family on adding “Luna” - Bellator’s Mayflower, formally “Masie”

And huge congrats to the Cashin family for adding “Yoshi” - Bellator’s Built By Design, formally “Mason”

Litter

Ch Bellator’s Belnickel “Nicky”

X

Ch Bellator’s Double or Nothin “BetMe”

Wishing the very best to these two families on their new additions!

Their sister “Maple” - Bellator’s Tap That - will be “Growing up Bellator” and hope to get her out in the show circuit later!

Also take a moment to say goodbye to the “couch” - as so many of our go home photos have been taken on. Robb Huhn said we need a new one, this one has given us a good 20+ years…..lol. Don’t you worry though, my only criteria was that whatever we got would still fit all the dogs…and it does! Watch in the next couple weeks for the Klee Kai gentlemen’s go home photos!

It’s the BABIES!!!

Evening playtime and meeting the “other puppies” for both litters tonight.

12 week old Basenjis - 2 leaving this weekend for their forever couches ❤️🐕❤️ Maple will be “Growing up Bellator”

8 week old Alaskan Klee Kai - potential keeper puppy evals ongoing - fingers crossed we have a keeper ❤️🐾❤️

Basenji pups have been eating all their meals in their crates and sleeping overnight in their crates to prepare them for their new adventures!

Klee Kai pups have been meeting select adult doggie family members and learning to understand and respect dog body language.

All puppies continue with socialization, desensitization to noise and objects, and of course getting cuddles and one on one time with humans!
