We are constantly evaluating our females and will breed them only after they prove themselves in the woods.  I do believe that careful examination of the pedigree when selecting sire and dam is essential and should be used in addition to other criteria such as intelligence, hunting ability, conformation, health, starting age, etc. 

                              

              

 

**********************************************************************************************************************

Beauregard was bred to Polly on the weekend of April 4th.  These puppies should arrive around June 7th and be ready for pickup at the end of July or early August.  Please remember these are estimates and we must rely on Mother Nature for the exact timeline.  Beau's pedigree may be viewed on the Dogs & Pedigrees page.  Polly's pedigree will be updated shortly.  If you are interested in booking a puppy from this litter, please see the information below for instructions.

***********UPDATE ********* What started out as an uneventful delivery turned into quite an adventure...

Poppy had her first puppy on Saturday night at 7:30 and puppy number two arrived about an hour later.  After an additional hour of contractions and no puppy, we began to be concerned and shortly thereafter contacted our local veterinarian hospital.  We decided to take her in to make sure everything was okay.  The third puppy was breech and the likely cause of Poppy's troubles.  This took a lot out of Poppy and the vets were concerned that she would need to have a c-section to deliver the remaining puppies.  After resting comfortably for about an hour, Poppy delivered another puppy. The vet suggested that we leave her there to continue delivery and that way if anything were to go wrong they could do surgery.  When we left Poppy at 2:00 am, the puppies were nursing and Poppy was almost asleep in between deliveries.  All of the staff at the hospital commented on how big and cute the puppies were.  We hope to have some pictures for you all to see by tonight.  It is now 7:30 on Sunday morning and she has had a total of six beautiful puppies and three are still waiting to come out.  We will continue to post information to keep you updated on the progress of the litter.  Our hope is that Poppy comes home today with a box full of healthy puppies. 

After a record setting 22 hours of labor, Poppy and all nine puppies are safely at home.  We have an estrogen packed litter with seven females and two males.  Everyone is happy, healthy and aggressively nursing.  We will continue to keep you updated with pictures and information. 

   

We broke the record high temperature today set back in 1899 of 98 degrees.  I decided to stay home with Poppy and the puppies.  We moved them to the laundry room where they could escape the heat and enjoy some peace and quiet.  Poppy appears to be returning to her old self and is such a good mom.  I had to share the pictures of puppies climbing on her belly and neck.  She just lies there and rest while the puppies do their thing.  We will likely keep Poppy inside for the next few days due to this unusual weather.  Once we get back to normal,  we will return the gang to the kennels.  The other hounds are missing her.  The puppies are growing by the minute and spent their day eating and sleeping.

                                  

It is hard to believe that the puppies are going to be one week old this weekend.  I snapped this picture early this morning of Poppy and the puppies.  I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful job she is doing.  She is the perfect mom.  We picked out a puppy for a close up which will help to give you an idea of what the puppies look like on their one week old birthday.  They have nearly doubled their weight and are now weighing around an average of two pounds.  This little male is a good representative of the litter and is showing you what they do for the majority of the day...sleep.

           

The puppies are nearly two weeks old and this week has brought with it many exciting steps in their development.  Their eyes began to open a few days ago and they have started to walk around their whelping box.  We had several adventurous ones who made it out of the whelping box a few times this week.  The majority of their days are still spent sleeping and nursing.  They can turn into a very rowdy bunch quickly when mom is not in their box and they are ready to eat.   

             

The first picture above on the left shows a puppy at two and a half weeks of age stealing some of Poppy's Purina.  It was at this point, we decided to prepare some softened puppy food for the litter.  There was no hesitation by this group.  They all feasted and then passed out in a big heap.  Their new trick this week was perfecting the climb in and out of the whelping box.  Most of them have the hang of it now.  Their eyes and ears are open and they are beginning to be playful with each other.  I cannot wait to see what next week has in store for the puppies. 

We have two females available from this litter.  Feel free to contact me via email at sam@rebelredkennels.com with any questions you may have about Beauregard, Poppy, the puppies or Redbones in general.

Deposits Received for Chance and Ivey Litter 2008:

 

Please continue to check back as we will post information about additional litters as soon as those decisions are final.  

 

 

REBEL RED PUPPIES

  • All Puppies are $400.

  • Puppies are UKC Registered.

  • Puppies are AKC Registered.

  • Litters are UKC Performance Program Nominated.

  • Sires and Dams are DNA Profiled.

  • All Puppies are guaranteed.

  • Puppies will be up to date on all worming and vaccinations.  You will receive a copy of the schedule.

Rebel Red Puppies are bred to be both hunters and companions. It is our belief they can play both roles. Our primary concern is that these puppies find good homes.  These puppies will grow up to be very active and need to be in an environment that allows them to get plenty of exercise.

 

  

HOW TO RESERVE YOUR PUPPY

  • We require a $100 non-refundable deposit to reserve your puppy.
  • We will accept six deposits (three males and three females) for each litter.
  • Once the maximum number of deposits is reached, a waitlist will be established. There is no deposit required to be on the waitlist. We will contact you once the puppies are born and deposits can be sent at that time.
  • Please see the upcoming litters section below for more information.
  • You can email us at sam@rebelredkennels.com with any questions or to reserve your puppy.

 

 

PICKING UP OR SHIPPING YOUR PUPPY

  • We strongly encourage picking up your puppy if at all possible. Weather conditions will greatly influence when your puppy can travel if it is being shipped.
  • We ship via air or ground.
  • Estimated fees associated with shipping are approximately:

                    $75 health certification

                    $200 to $400 for air (domestic) or $200 to $350 for ground

                     $75 crate (no crate required if shipping via ground)

  • Puppies must be eight weeks old to be shipped. We will consider letting them go home a little earlier if you are picking them up.
  • If the need arises for us to board your puppy past eight weeks old, we will try to accommodate you, but do require that the puppy be paid in full by eight weeks of age.

 

             

 

Special Note: Holly, Ivey and Polly are DNA verified.  The studs selected for our females will be 2008 UKC Performance Sires which makes the puppies eligible to be Performance Puppies.  The entire litter will be nominated for the UKC Performance Program.  Puppies will be both UKC and AKC registered.
