Prices

Black/White Puppies - $700.00

Liver/White Puppies - $700.00

Tri-Colored Puppies - $800.00

All of my puppies are trained to sit and lay down on command with a treat incentive.  They learn to ring a set of bells that are attached to the door knob to let you know they need to go outside.  They are 98% house trained by 8 weeks old.

I believe strongly that if a puppy is trained from the time they open their eyes and have an automatic response, even in the most unruly times of their lives, they will be under control.

Madeline's 1st Litter Has Arrived!!


Madeline gave birth to 10 very healthy beautiful babies on Friday, January 8, 2010.
Tri-color puppies - Black/White/Tan - 1 Male
                              Liver/White/Tan - 3 Male
Black/White puppies - 3 Male
Liver/White puppies - 1 Male - 2 Females
These puppies are of Championship Bloodline.

Dr. Clark with Critter's Care arrived on Monday afternoon, January 11, 2010.  He examined the health of each puppy and docked their tails and removed their dew claws.  Madeline is such a calm, gentle, trusting personality that she was allowed to remain in the room during the procedure.  (Normally the mother is removed from the situation.)  Madeline cared for each puppy as they were handed back into the whelping box after their procedure.  Madeline also passed her examination.  All are doing great!

They are now 2 weeks old.  They were all weighed and wormed with Pro-Wormer 2 on Sunday, 1-24-10.  Their eyes and ears are starting to crack open now.  They are moving on all 4 feet now instead of doing the belly crawl.  They can now hear themselves so they are experimenting with their voices.  This is one of my favorite stages.  Little coos, growls, and yips come from the whelping box.  They will now begin their training to come when called to "Puppy, Puppy".

They are now 4 weeks old.  They were all weighed and wormed with Pro-Wormer 2 on Saturday, 2-6-10.  They are cutting in their teeth with dry puppy food.  They have been moved to the dining room to begin their outdoor potty training.

Madeline & Remi's 20 Puppies Training Together

Chloe's 4th Litter Has Arrived!



Chloe gave birth to 7 beautifully marked black/white babies on January 21, 2010.
6 Black/White Females
1 Black/White Male

She actually gave birth to one other little boy that could not be saved.  His intestines were outside his body at birth and damaged as Chloe cleaned the afterbirth and was taking care of the umbilical cord.  If the intestines not been severed, they could have been placed back inside his body and he would have healed fine.  Microscopic surgery is not available for puppies this small to reconnect the necessary blood vessels.  At least not in my area of the state.  It is a tragedy to not be able to save the life of each wonderful baby.  If it ever becomes easy, I will no longer breed.

Dr. Clark with Critter's Care arrived on Friday afternoon, January 22, 2010.  He examined the health of each puppy and docked their tails and removed their dew claws.  All of these babies are doing really well.  Chloe is doing wonderfully with this litter.

They are now 2 weeks old.  They were all weighed and wormed with Pro-Wormer 2 on Saturday, 2-6-10.  Their eyes and ears are cracked open now.   They can now hear themselves so they are experimenting with their voices.  This is one of my favorite stages.  Little coos, growls, and yips come from the whelping box.  They will now begin their training to come when called to "Puppy, Puppy".

Ali gave birth to 7 beautiful babies.
4 Black/White - 2 Males - 2 Females
2 Liver/White - 1 Male - 1 Female

Ali also gave birth to one other black/white female.  This puppy I have named Teacup.  She was born with a blood blister on her head.  I am monitoring and draining it under veterinarian supervision.  If it heals properly and there is no signs of slow development or abnormality, Teacup will also be listed as an available puppy.

Stone - Father of our Babies!

All of my puppies have been handled from birth.  They are extremely well socialized and very loving.  They will all be given a de-worming regiment at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age.  They will receive their 1st immunization shot at 6 weeks old and can return here for their 2nd shot at 12 to 15 weeks old.  They all will be taught to sit and lay down with treat incentive.  From the time they are 4 weeks old they are taken outside to do their business.  They will learn to ring a set of bells that are attached to a door knob to let you know when they need to go outside.  This gives them and you a better start in their new home.  I know that you will grow to love these babies as much or more than we do and it will amaze you how they will love you back.

 

All of my puppies are of Chip's blood line.  Chip is truely the epitemy of the breed.  He is my motivation to breed. 

When contacting me about a new puppy, I recommend that you choose liver/white or black/white and male or female for your family.  If you are interested in a particular puppy please take time to get on the "Can Hardly Wait" list on my Contact Us Page or better yet -- fill out a puppy application and submit it.
