I Week Old

I Week Old

Milly is definitely growing them on the outside! Her Uber-milk is MAJORLY Uber! The puppies have just about doubled their birth weight and all have constant plump bellies. I LOVE plump puppy bellies! Unlike our last litter with KC, where I had to supplement and hand...

You Think She’s Comfy?

If you have followed our blog you know we have been working on building her confidence and on all of her fears, since Breezy came to live with us backing October. She really has come a very, very long way! She greets guests when they come into the house, she sticks...
Pluming Up Nicely

Pluming Up Nicely

As with all litters born here, I documented the puppies at 3 days old yesterday with a weigh-in and photoshoot. They are all gaining weight nicely, plumping up like I expected. I also now have a chance to see what some of their markings might be. We have two cream...
Dewclaw Time

Dewclaw Time

The puppies are three days old today – The perfect day to remove dewclaws on puppies. I have gotten it down to a science but need to have someone help them while I do it – I need someone to hold them! Thank you so much Shelly for your willingness to help!...
They Are Here!

They Are Here!

Back To Table Training For Us!

Back To Table Training For Us!

So my wish for yesterday to be a simple blip on Tino’s radar did not come true. He was actually very agitated on the table with absolutely no patience whatsoever. I was very stern putting him back into place but he was not going to have any of it. The judge...
No Repeat

No Repeat

Not that Iwould ever expect the same thing to happen two days in a row but what did happen was the furthest from my mind. I have worked SO hard on getting Tino to behave on the table and not freak out when the judge put their hands on him. It all started his very...
Unbelievably Honored!

Unbelievably Honored!

With the break that we took for the Canine Flu, I was very excited once confirmed that our guys had kennel cough and healed up perfectly. I was even more excited to have our first shows back in the game being in our home town! Only 30 minutes form the house makes for...
