We have tried a couple of times before to have a litter of Wires by AI (artificial insemination, not artificial intelligence!) using imported semen but have not been successful. Third time lucky, though. Our bitch, Norwegian Champion Rg Av Larhjelm, is jointly owned with Lindsey Westwood and we imported semen from another Norwegian Larhjelm dog (BPM37093 – named after a star). We have 4 Wild Boar puppies, 3 dogs and a bitch; now 6 weeks old. They are at the “seriously cute” stage and getting more adventurous every day, but very easy-going and easy to look after. They have been busy exploring the garden and able to enjoy the sunshine. It’s a real contrast to our last litter; Mocha had 10 puppies which was incredibly hard work. They are already well used to being handled, by a regular stream of visitors.
