News and Updates about our Dogs, Puppies, and Kennel:
- July 25, 2011: The H-VAC contractor began work last week.
There are four central air units outside the kennel and several large units of some sort inside. The new system
is very high-tech so we aren't sure exactly what phase of the project they are on now. We were so
thankful for the cool whelping area this past week with the high temperatures. The dogs don't even want to go outside!!
- June 25, 2011: After a VERY busy few months, our new whelping area is in use and is almost completed.
New mothers now have even more privacy and are able to go outside freely. We are so happy with the new set-up. The electricians
have started to run the new electrical lines for the H-VAC system that is being installed in our kennel. The contractor
putting the system in will start in a few weeks. We have several new litters born and more on the way. Watch
each breeds page for more pictures that will be posted next week. Looking forward to meeting several families
today who will be taking their puppies home!
- April 5, 2011: The
truck arrived this evening with our new whelping building. We are so excited to finally get it here. We've been
planning it for months. The building will allow us to have more room for our nursing mothers and their puppies
and will also give them a little more privacy than our current set-up. It does need some work and needs to be finished,
but it's here and we can now start the process. Check back here to see pictures and updates in the very near future!!
- March 31, 2011: Flower, a black and white Shih Tzu, gave birth to
a beautiful litter of five Shichons (or Teddy Bears or Zuchons as some people refer to them). There are five
adorable puppies. Pictures will be posted by April 17th. We are starting to think that Spring is finally here
with all these new babies we are having all of the sudden!
- March 29, 2011: Very early this morning, we had a gorgeous litter of Shichon puppies born to Olive,
a Shih Tzu, and Dudley, a Bichon. They are very colorful and ALL SIX ARE BOYS!! Very unusual...Pictures will be
posted by April 17th.
- March 29, 2011: Late this
evening, a beautiful litter of Puggle puppies was born to Jessie (a Beagle) and Zeus (a Pug). This was Jessie's
first litter so we had to be there to monitor everything. She wasn't sure what to do at first but by the time the last
two puppies were born, she was a pro. After sitting with her for several hours until almost 1 am, we were both relieved
when the last puppy was born, fat and healthy! She has six beautiful puppies, two girls and four boys. One boy
and one girl are reserved leaving one girl and three boys still available. We don't usually post pictures of the puppies
until they are about two weeks old but we will be posting pictures by this coming Friday, April 9th. If you'd like to
put a deposit on one of these adorable puppies, feel free to contact us anytime.
