Puppy Update

Well, unfortunately we did not have success with our AI attempts with Ella, but as one door closes another door opens. OG our brown bitch has gone into season and we are planning on breeding her with Rocky. This time we are taking a road trip and doing it the old fashion way. We are very excited about this breeding, and plan to do Ella and Rocky's breeding, the old fashion way as well, at Ella's next season. You can meet OG in our older posts, as well as see her pedigree and health certificates. Check out the posts starting from 11/08.

Meet Ella and Rocky

Ella was artificially inseminated by Rocky on the 24th and 26th of June. We are very excited about this upcoming litter. We should have confirmation of pregnancy in 3-4 weeks and will keep you all posted.

Turk Visits his Dad

Hi All, here is a picture of Turk and Zorro, they had great fun playing together and Zorro was more than willing to share his ball with his son. I hope this finds all of Turks brothers and sisters doing well. Thank you so much for the updates and pictures we love to receive them all, and will start to post them to the Blog.

We are gearing up for our next litter of puppies. Ella is being bred with a Brown Boy named "Rocky" CH Amigo's Love Me Tender, he lives in TX and we are doing IA. Today is the big day for the first round. I will keep you posted on the out come.

Take care,

K and the Gang (humane and canine alike)

Getting ready to Fly

We have a lot of puppies going out of state, one of the future puppy owners came to visit this weekend, and brought the carrier for a test run, we tried several of the puppies including the biggest one, and all could stand and turn around. This one seemed to like it.

Puppies will be 8 weeks tomorrow :)

After a busy time getting their pictures taken, they are all exhasted and taking a snooze :) Nap time for ME!!!!!!!

Mom walks by the pen and they wake up, so cute!!!!!

The puppies are all getting big. They go to the Vet on Thursday for their first shots and check up. They had their first bath two weekends ago, and everyone did great, no one really fussed at all. We are hoping that the weather is warm and sunny this weekend so that we can get them in the pool for the first time. We have brought them out front to play and into our side yard. I have placed a kennel in their pen so that they are getting used to it and most sleep in it. I am hoping to put them in kennels at night by the end of the week.

Family update

Greetings all, first and foremost the puppies are doing great and I hope to have new pics up soon. They now spend their days on our porch in a big pen with a little tike's play cube with a slide and place to hide. They have all figured out how to go up and down the slide. I have been receiving lots of inquires and applications, please be patient with my return phone calls, I want to be able to call when I have plenty of time to talk and answer any questions. We have been very busy and have had an exciting few weeks with my HS Senior Son's Soccer Team. Attached is the video of the highlight of my son's soccer game last night, he is the one with the go-tee, his girlfriend finally got him to shave :). We head to LA tomorrow, we play the 2nd seed team and we are the 3rd seed team so it should be a great game. GO NORSEMEN!!!!!!!

4 1/2 weeks old :)

Playing with toys... All the puppies love to play with the toys in their pen. They also like to wrestle with each other and try to get Blue to join in. OG has let Blue and Ella in the pen to be with the puppies, Blue likes to play and Ella likes to be the surrogate mother, she lies down and lets them try to nurse and keeps them very very clean.

Puppy on the scale, all are growing and growing.
