A new journey begins... After we sent our first little bears into the world in 2020, we wanted to move forward into the future. For a long time we thought about who should be the father of our second litter. Investigations upon investigations that didn't form a path for us until a fateful message...

We were offered a stud dog because word got around that we were looking. The writing was intensified and formed in the exchange of all necessary data. During the conversation it was confirmed that this should be the male for us. We submitted an application and sent in all the documents for the approval of the foreign stud dog. The schedule was already firmly planned with Helen. As the year progressed we examined the eyes freshly, which again passed with flying colors.

The first assumptions were made and lo and behold, then the time had come. The first drop of blood symbolized the start of a new journey. Several appointments with the vet followed for the optimal determination. Then the release and suitcases were packed. We started in the Netherlands with a stopover and a break in Bielefeld with our dear TaroTaro and family <3 It was so great to see you again. Thank you very much for everything!

On July 22, 2021 in the afternoon we reached the domicile of our dear Helen and family. We were warmly welcomed and shown around. Reiko was happy and in kind very satisfied with our planning. The same was true for Kini. Both wanted to play immediately. Nevertheless, we started with a walk in the field, which was immediately crowned with success. The time together was great. We exchanged a lot and the dogs got along really well. As beautiful as it was but called home. On Saturday we headed home with more experience and a great new friendship!

Now the time of nurturing and care in the intensive care unit began again with waiting. The first signs like the A-litter made us more than positive. We kept in regular contact with Helen and Kini who felt the same way.

Calculated a rough date, we had a date for the ultrasound on August 24th, 2021. Unfortunately, due to Corona, we were not allowed to be there. We just discussed the evaluation and lo and behold, Reiko was pregnant with a bigger expectation than last time! This happy news was immediately shared with key people. So Helen and Kini, Klee and Shinryu as well as our closest family and friends. Everyone was happy.

Now, of course, we continued with the intensive preparation in addition to our normal everyday life. Unfortunately, things often turn out differently and my grandparents racked our brains. They both had to go to a nursing home and we had a lot to do and to do....

The big day was approaching and Reiko is always better to be a little early than too late ^^'' Anyway, after a few false alarms on September 21st, 2021, the time had come and 5 healthy little baby bears saw the light of day.

We immediately shared the happy news again. Full of pride, the first German Shikoku males have now fallen with us. It's just so indescribable...

Unfortunately, since you can never really plan with us, we had turbulent days again. Helen, Roy, Cooper and Kini visited us for a few days. After some airline trouble also Katja and George. It was so great to see everyone again and we talked a lot. We couldn't be happier to have you as part of us <3

Along with coming life and joy, there is also sadly dying going and sorrow. My grandfather left us in mid-October after a short, serious illness. The children gave us so much support and strength during this difficult time. They always managed to brighten our minds.

Here are some pictures of the baby bears as well as the mama and papa bears <3
