Two Upcoming Breeders

We have received the results from the health tests on our Seattle's Sundance and Evergreen's Tank.  Both dogs have passed their breeding health tests with flying colors!  We will be bringing these two dogs in as breeders as soon as they are mature.

Sundance is a cream colored, fleece coated medium and she will be about 19 inches at her shoulder when she reaches maturity.  She will be around 32-38 pounds.  She loves to play with people and other dogs.  When people come to visit our puppies and they meet Sundance and Tank, they almost always ask if the are available.  The good news is that now that they have passed their health tests, we are looking for a guardian home for both Sundance and Tank.  We are looking for families or individuals who live within a short distance from our home in Newberg, Oregon.  Guardians will need to provide a safe home environment and loving attention to our dogs.  All reproductive vet care is covered by us, and regular vet care is covered by the guardians.  We ask that you feed high quality food and provide lots of love and socialization.

Evergreen's Tank is a male who is standard in size and will be about 23-25 inches at the shoulder when mature.  He will weigh over 50 pounds.  He is our gentle giant.  He loves to play with people and dogs.  He has a deep red fleece coat.  When people visit our puppies they ask if they can get a puppy with a coat "that color" and point to Tank.  He loves to lie down at our feet, unless our granddaughter, Annalee, has come over to play.  If Annalee is here Tank wants to play with her and give her kisses.  

We love both these dogs, and feel the bittersweet of placing them in other homes.  We want to have them around us, and yet we know they need to have homes of their own.

Two Growing Litters

 Scarlett's litter continues to grow into small dogs, and they are having a blast in the puppy run we have built for them, as well as in our fenced field where they can play with us and chase each other.  They are eating, playing, meeting new people, and having a wonderful life.  You can see from the pictures below that they are loving life.

 We also have been giving the puppies their medicines to make sure they stay healthy.  We have given them two doses of de-worming medicine, and their first immunizations.  They will have one last dose of de-worming medicine before they go home to their new families.  

 We had friends over to the house last week to enjoy the evening and to spend time together.  We had about 15 people over.  All of the ladies went down into the yard to sit with Scarlett's puppies and play with them.  The puppies loved the attention and were snuggling up with the ladies.  As it got late the puppies all decided to go to sleep on the grass as they sat with the people.  We had to wake them up to take them back their pen and to make sure they were safely settled in for the night.

Meggie's puppies have just reached a milestone.  They have opened their eyes and ears.  They are barking at each other now and crawling aroud the pen.  This weekend they will get their first dose of de-worming medicine (given at 3, 5, and 7 weeks of age).  Today I gave them their first taste of goat's milk from a bowl.  They are so much fun to watch as they discover this new treat.  They smell it in the pen, and start walking around trying to find the source of that wonderful smell.  They then step into the bowl and start licking the milk off of their paws.  As they recognize this is a great food source they learn to put their faces into the bowl and lick up the milk.  Their next lesson is how to put their mouth in the bowl without putting their noses into the bowl.  They have to learn not to inhale the milk, but how to swallow it instead.  It is quite funny to watch them figure this all out.

We will keep you up to date on the progress of the puppies.  Please check back and please let your friends know about us.
