CuSithe Kennels

Joining us on lease, in September, is
Ch Palakore's Royal FairyTale.
Majesty will be bred to GCh CuSithe Ralle's Harvest Moon

Thank you to Julie Starling for allowing Majesty to join us.

I guess its time to post. My dream breeding will not be taking place. Due to Noodle developing a hernia we opted to do surgery for the hernia and spay her. Once completely recovered, Noodle will go live with our friend Jane.

The Iggy x Lainey breeding is still on just waiting for the pot to boil or on you know Lainey to come into season

CuSithe is thrilled to announce an upcoming breeding!

This is a very intentional, yet loose, linebreeding on Can/Am Ch. Nepachee's Boxcar Willie, a dog who made his mark on both sides of the border. Willie sired multiple Group Placing Champions in Canada and the United States, leaving a legacy of type, soundness, and presence in the ring.

We are excited to see what this pairing will bring and look forward to the next chapter for our CuSithe family.

June is a month close to my heart — Pride and National Indigenous Peoples Month, two reminders that love, belonging, and identity matter. At CuSithe, love is always welcome — every kind, every colour, every person. Happy Pride and Happy National Indigenous Peoples Month to all my people. 🐾❤️🌈🐾

Hi everyone,

I wanted to reach out with an update on CuSithe's pricing, effective immediately for all new bookings.

Boarding will be moving to $35/day. Pet sitting will be $90/day for 1–4 dogs and $100/day for 5–8 dogs. For households with 9 or more dogs, I'm happy to work out a custom quote.
If you have an existing booking, your rate is fully honoured — this applies to new bookings only going forward.

These decisions are never made lightly. You trust me with your animals and your homes, and I take that seriously. I want to make sure I can continue to provide the level of care you and your pets deserve for years to come.

Thank you sincerely for your loyalty and support — it means a great deal.

Dawn

🌸 ROSETTES & REAL TALK: Eye Testing Your Dachshund 🌸
Clear, bright eyes aren’t just beautiful in the ring—they reflect responsible breeding and long-term care. A dog that can see well moves with confidence, connects with you, and lives fully.
🔥 Real Talk:
Just because your dachshund looks fine doesn’t mean their eyes are.
Conditions like Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) can be silently developing long before you ever notice a problem. By the time your dog starts bumping into things or hesitating in low light… the damage is already done—and it’s irreversible.
And here’s where it gets uncomfortable:
Not eye testing breeding dogs isn’t ignorance anymore—it’s a choice.
Because testing exists.
Because specialists exist.
Because prevention matters.
Skipping it risks: — Passing on hereditary blindness
— Producing puppies with avoidable suffering
— Undermining the integrity of your breeding program
👁️ What proper eye testing actually means:
This isn’t your regular vet glance with a light. This is a full exam by a certified veterinary ophthalmologist (CAER exam), looking deep into the structures of the eye.
✔️ Detects inherited disease early
✔️ Helps breeders make ethical pairings
✔️ Gives owners peace of mind
💬 The part people don’t say out loud:
Loving your dog isn’t enough.
Advocating for their future is.
Because a winning dog should be more than beautiful…
They should be built to thrive.

Iggy says he saw his ophthalmologist and its a pass with breeders options for his eyes.
