Our New Arrivals

Bela and Konan's baby puppies have arrived. They have 4 very healthy & pretty girls and 3 very healthy & handsome boys. The pups were born on Thursday 6th November 2008 & everything went really well for our beautiful Bela. She is such a wonderful mum and is making sure that her babies are always clean and well feed. Bela herself is eating really well and making sure that she drinks plenty. Poor Konan just doesn't quite understand what is going on at the moment, he just wants to see that his Bela is alright, but the very protective mum Bela won't let him near her or her babies yet.

Not long now

Our mum -to -be is doing really well. We now call her our soccer ball. She is approx 8 weeks pregnant and looks fantastic. She is eating well, still wants to play, but also likes to sleep and chill out a lot more. We are now taking her temperature everyday just to make sure that all is ok and her puppies are kicking very well also.

NEW LIFE

Our as always beautiful and loving Bela is 100% pregnant. Our Vet did an Ultrasound today and viewed at least 4 puppies that are very active. He feels that there could be more but is not sure as they like to hide. Bela is 6 weeks pregnant and the puppies are due to be born 9th November 2008. Bela is in excellent condition and is a glowing mum-to-be. Konan of course is the very proud father, but is not to impressed that the whelping box is out and Bela is already happy to sleep and play in it. He knows that he is not allowed in it as Bela will get cranky with him because this is her special place only. There will be photos to follow very shortly.

It is now July 2008 and our beautiful Bela is starting to show signs of coming into season again. Normal signs sooky, clingy to me not wanting to eat very much, and flashing her beautiful brown eyes at Konan. Konan as normal in his very male way is also starting to not just want to play with Bela. Her poor ears are always sopping wet from him licking them. Lets hope this time she produces beautiful babies again.

Unfortunately Bela had a phantom pregnancy.

Finally???

Finally I am getting my act together and putting Konan and Bela's Papers on our website. I will now make sure that I keep this website more up-to-date.

NEW NEWS

I have not updated our website for such a long time. Shame on me. Latest news is looks like our beautiful Bela is pregnant again. Her due date is estimated as 15th April 2008. Her first puppy that she had (whom we called Diesel) is an absolute champion and turn out to be a very handsome young dog. I will post more pictures of him. I am sure that Bela and Konan's new additions when they arrive will be just as special as Diesel.

Diesel Our Baby

This is our adorable baby boy Diesel. He is four weeks old and his personality is really developing fast. He is such a character. He loves to play with his mum (Bela) he especially loves her ears. She is just so patient with him. When he decides that he doesn't want to play with his mum anymore he tries to tempt his dad (Konan) but Bela is still not very keen on Konan going near her baby. Poor Konan just wants to join in the fun. When Bela is not looking we let Konan have some time with Diesel but Diesel tends to go for Konan's crown jewels or his nose.

Our Baby Has Arrived

At the time of 4.55am on the 7th March 2007 our new little baby boy staffy was born. He weighted in at 320gms. It was an easy birth for our new mum Bela and she took to her baby straight away.

BABIES ON THE WAY

It looks like our wonderful staffies are about to become parents for the first time. Estimated time of arrival is 6th March 2007. Bela is doing really well and looks radiant. She is being a bigger sook than normal. She is so cuddly and just wants to lazy around all the time. Konan is strutting around like he is the biggest stud there is. He is still very protective of Bela and makes sure that she is ok all the time. Just about every time he lays down to have a little nap Bela comes over to him, puts her head on his tummy and goes to sleep straight away. It is just so cute to see. The vet is very pleased with Bela's progress and says that she is in peak condition and should have no problems with her whelping. We are all getting very excited and can't wait until the big day

Our Bela (Sonique Isadora)

This is our princess. Bela is approx 18 mths old in this photo. As you can see she thinks she is just so regal (we think so too). She has the most gentle nature and loves anyone. She especially loves children and just wants to play with them all the time.

When we show Bela she is always well behaved and loves to show off. She has even been known to be called by some judges as a pretty princess.

Her and Konan are the best of mates and do everything together. (including sometimes being a little naughty and stealing our shoes etc to play with).

We are really looking forward to Christmas when Bela should be coming into season again. This will be her 4th time in season and we feel that she is now mature enough to handle having some puppies.

We are very confident that between Konan & Bela we will have a very special litter from them. Konan with his strong handsome looks and soft nature and Bela with her very feminine soft face and very pretty loving nature.

Konan (Staffgait Cocknbull)

This is our handsome Konan. He is so proud. Everyone who sees him calls him a boofhead but we think he is just so cute. Konan really believes that he is not a dog. He loves to have a conversation with you and is always following us around and sticking his nose into whatever we are doing. He loves playing with our girls and is very protective of them all.

ABOUT THE YATES AND THEIR DOGS

Hi our names are Adam & Wendy Yates. We have four beautiful daughters, Laura, Maree, Jessica & Ashleigh and off course our very delightful staffies Konan & Bela. Both Konan & Bela have champion Lines. Konan's full name is Staffgait Cocknbull and Bela's is Sonique Isadora. Our gorgeous Konan has always been Wendy's best friend. When Adam went to Timor poor Konan had to put up with all the tears and sadness, but being the true staffy that he is, he soldiered on and was the rock of our family. He is also our hero. He saved 2 of his 4 legged friends from certain death by making sure that we knew that they were in trouble. A story was actually printed about him in Dogs New South Wales magazine. Our cheeky but very sweet Bela is our little princess. She is so lovable and would do anything to make sure that everyone loves her. We all call her princess because she is so regal and she really thinks that she is not a dog. Bela is our show dog and she is doing very well for herself. We are very proud of both our dogs and are really looking forward to them becoming parents.
