Ava – Born 10th July 2022

Ava is our first bred female.

She comes from Australian blood lines Shallowwell Lord Nightfall (Hercules) and our beautiful Dukory Silver Blue (Boo).

The girls name Ava in both Persian and Urdu means voice; in Hebrew it means “life” and in Latin it means bird; water, island. This is very poetic for our girl Ava as she was born via emergency c-section after her two brothers were born natually and we didn’t know if she was going to make it. Since her birth she has found her voice, loves water and is called Dainty Lady as she is the exact opposite, a bull-dozer and gives it to her brother Argos. They are a pigeon pair and love each others company.

This magnificent, cheeky and naughty girl is the spitting image of her mother Boo, however in looks only. She is playful and full on at times and runs rings around the whole tribe. It’s fun watching the interactions she has with all the others. She is submission when needed and bossy to Argos.

The first mating with Angus on 18th May 2024 produced 10 big red and fawn puppies and one little female runt. It was quite the ordeal for this little champion as she had one pup stuck in the birth canal and was taken in for a c-section which resulted in 8 males and 3 females. Sadly one male passed a week later.

Ava is now officially retired as the process of carrying a large litter took its toll on my beautiful girl. Looking forward to just watching her live the rest and best of her life knowing what a wonderful mum she was.
