Strong Genes

Aug 8, 2016 | Breedings, Harry

When we bred Barbie to Eddie, a very dark pigmented black and tan, we got an entire litter of white and cream puppies (born on Christmas at that!). When bred to Beamer, another black and tan, we got Georgie, fawn spotted on white and his black and tan brother, Kidd....

All Gaining Nicely

Aug 7, 2016 | Breeding Chihuahuas, New Puppies

Barbie’s babies are a week old and even with our overheating issue the other day, all of the puppies have gained a wonderful amount of weight. I am very pleased with how they are progressing. Only five days behind KC’s litter, they are putting...

She’s Kinda Lovin’ It

Aug 6, 2016 | Milly

With Barbie and KC upstairs tending to their puppies, Milly has had the opportunity to be THE girl of the house. And I am here to tell you that she is truly enjoying getting all of the boys’ attention. With no competition, she is running carefree with Harry,...

A Major Scare

Aug 5, 2016 | Barbie

In all of the years and all of the litters, I have to say that this was a complete first! Our setup is as follows: A plastic storage bin laid on it’s side and then place it into a kiddie pool. Blankets, towels and pads are used to line and supply comfy cuddle...

My Morning Companion

Aug 4, 2016 | Chihuahua Habits, Dude

Every morning when I drive Alexis to work, Dude has an anxiety attack over us leaving the house. He will dart out the door when we open it in the trickiest of ways and then he will jump right up into the car when you open that door. Some morning sI am not about it...

They Are One Week Old

Aug 2, 2016 | KC, New Puppies

With all three puppies back together, you can see clearly just how much smaller our tiny boy is. He is half the size of his siblings! And his weight gain is equivalently smaller. We do have weight gain so putting him back with mom was totally the right thing to do. He...

A Tiny Puppy Must Have

Aug 1, 2016 | Must Have Supplies, Supplies and Finds

So if you have tiny puppies or if you whelp litters I highly recommend getting yourself a SnuggleSafe Heating Pad. When you travel with puppies in your car – Like when I brought KC and her puppies home after the c-section – Keeping the puppies warm can be...

Great First Day

Aug 1, 2016 | Barbie, Breeding Chihuahuas, New Puppies

Barbie and her babies had their first full day together and it’s just so amazing to watch Barbie do her thing. She is so comfortable as a mother and with her skills. She isn’t nervous or anxious. She takes things all in stride and does her thing. The...

Started With A Splash

Jul 31, 2016 | Barbie, Breeding Chihuahuas, New Puppies

All of my pregnant girls girls sleeping bed with me so that I can be awoken by the signs of an impending whelp.  Barbie is so textbook that the nesting and/or panting is a sure fire way to wake me. Oddly enough I woke to a huge wet spot in the bed that made me...

Reunited

Jul 30, 2016 | KC

While KC’s little pudgers adjusted to a fully engaged momma, her tiny puppy has continued to progress and sustain his weight. This is a pretty major feat when you start out so special, so tiny, and away from mom. We have decided to reunite our tiny one with mom...
