Exciting Days!!

We have finished raising three litters over the winter and they are nearly all in their new homes.  We still have a puppy from Bella's litter that will go to her new home (a breeder in Texas) on Thursday, and we have another puppy that we are still allocating to her new family.  Home is a lot quieter now.  We do have two puppies that are going to be breeders in our program that we are raising and testing before we allocate them to guardian homes (see our page on Guardian homes).  

The quiet will not last forever.  We have exciting news to tell!  Scarlett has been bred to Seeker yesterday and today.  She will be delivering her next litter of puppies in nine weeks.  We already have a full reservation list for this litter, but we are still putting people on waiting lists in case she has more puppies than we have reservations.  The last litters Scarlett had were ten puppies each.  We have taken six reservations and we can take two or three additional applications for her waiting list.  This litter is going to be spectacular.  We expect reds, apricots, and perhaps a cream puppy.  These puppies will have wonderful conformation and boning.  They will be athletic and outgoing.  They will be friendly and have gentle temperaments.  The pictures below show some of the puppies Scarlett and Seeker have produced in the past.  





We also expect that Meggie will be going into heat in the next few weeks.  We also plan to breed her with Seeker so that we will have dark reds and dark apricots that will be small mediums or large minis.  This litter also has a full reservation list.  We are not expecting as many puppies from Meggie as Scarlett has produced.  We will wait until we have the ultrasound to have more of a sense of how many puppies she is carrying to take any more applications for a waiting list for her.
