We are delighted to announce the introduction of Valencia, a remarkable female from the esteemed Oceans of Fortune lineage, whose addition will significantly enhance the diversity of our breeding program. Her sire, Nugget of Ocean of Fortune, and dam, Phione Oceans of Fortune, both possess excellent health status, boasting patella scores of 0/0. Valencia's mother is a stunning black and tan merle, while her father is a striking brown and tan, with both parents being heterozygous for various desirable traits, including brown, lilac, yellow, and long coat. It is likely that Valencia has inherited these valuable traits from her father. Valencia exhibits a wonderful temperament, characterized by loyalty and intelligence, and is adapting seamlessly to her new environment, truly embodying the essence of royalty. I feel extremely fortunate to have this opportunity to welcome her to our pack and home. During our extensive 24-hour journey, Valencia proved to be an exemplary traveler, remaining quiet and well-mannered, to the extent that those around us were hardly aware of her presence. The process of navigating numerous security and passport verification checkpoints, as well as customs upon re-entering the US, was significantly facilitated by her calm demeanor. It is noteworthy that, in light of the updated CDC regulations implemented in August 2024, the process of importing dogs into the United States has become substantially more challenging and expensive. Nevertheless, it is undoubtedly worth the effort.
