Our last litter

Our Pupcake gave birth to three very healthy puppies (two males and one female) on Easter Sunday,  April 5, 2015.  This was her smallest litter and Mama really needs a break so we have decided this will also be her last litter. It has been so much fun watching these little guys grow.  How fortunate are we to get to keep these puppies in our home for the first nine weeks of their lives?  Fun but quite exhausting. We pride ourselves on the fact that our puppies are raised strictly indoors.  They get so much love in our home and we are hoping to find them homes that will suit each of their personalities perfectly. If you are interested in possibly being a forever home, If you are interested in possibly being a forever home, we would love to hear from you and about you!

A house without puppies

Is a quiet house... Raider went to his forever home today.  He is with a great couple who will have plenty of time to be active and give him the attention he needs.  It's always sad seeing the last puppy go but I know he has found the perfect home.  I can't wait to see what the future has in store for these puppies.

He is loved!

I am really feeling all the love tonight after discovering the dozens of messages that went to my "spam" box about this guy.  I have just spent the last two hours replying to all of the messages that I missed.  It turns out that Raider is really loved after all!

Here are a couple of recent pictures of the cute little guy :) I just know that we will find the perfect home for him. 

We have one puppy still looking for his family

All of the puppies have been with their new owners for a week now. I have gotten lots of great feedback about their loving, and playful nature. It's nothing new to me. I spent the first 8 weeks of their lives with them. I fed them and made sure they stayed warm until the wee hours of the night. I loved them all as if I would be keeping them forever. Potty training them is one of the most difficult tasks but is well worth it when I find out how quickly they caught on in their new environment.
Every day that goes by Raider (our lone puppy) gets more and more attached to the kids and they get more attached to him. He is often the first to greet anyone who walks in our door. He is also usually the first one people look for when they visit us. He has the best temperament, he love to just hang out with us. Right now his favorite toys are socks fresh from the wash. He has a hiding spot where he puts his little stash. He's quite the clever little character and he really, really needs a home. Not just any home! He needs a home where he will get the same cuddles, love, play time and interaction that he gets with us.

Puppy #1 has found his new home

and his new home has found themselves a puppy.  In one month he will be leaving us. It makes us a little sad but we couldn't possibly keep all of our puppies. Finding them a great home is the next best thing. Here is a shot of the happy little puppy after he got to visit with his new owners. 

He is cuddling one of the kids right now for his nap while his brother is laying on me. We are all trying to get in as much cuddling as possible before they leave. Here is a cute little picture of puppy number 5 (who is still available) taking a nap on top of me. 

Isn't he the sweetest! As I'm writing this he made his way up to my shoulder. It's an extreme close up but it is exactly what I'm looking at right now. 

Finally walking!

Puppies 3 and 4 found their new family when they were only 2 weeks old.  I am so thrilled that they will be staying together! Even more thrilled that their new parents love to come and visit with them. 

Puppies1, 2 and 5 are still available for adoption. 

All puppies are officially walking but are still a little bit shaky. They're getting the hang of it slowly but surely.  Ears are finally opened and teeth are starting to sprout.  None of the teeth have come out yet but are just about ready to break through they're gums. 

For those of you wondering if the puppies are being crate trained the answer is no. I do not crate train puppies because I don't feel like they should be confined to a small cage. They all live together in a playpen where they have a comfy place to play and sleep on one side and potty pads on another. This is also the first step of potty training.  I will put up another post soon about that. Until then, I leave you with a small clip of puppy number 1 walking.  

Five little puppies scooting around

We’ve been busy with 5 little puppies and a family and have had little time to update. Some pretty special things are going on right now in our household. The puppies have had a few firsts. This past Thursday they all began to open their eyes and by Friday morning their eyes were completely open. They puppies are all still scooting along with the exception of puppy #1 who showed off his sprinting skills this morning. He got to his mama for feeding time in lightning speed. No doubt he will be the first to walk. Pretty soon we will have some puppies running around and the fun really begins.
Here are some pictures of the puppies, their birth order and a little weight chart so you can see where they all are.

Were having babies!!!

Right now we are up helping Pupcake whelp her 3rd litter of pups!! We are so excited to bring these little guys and girls into the world. Here are a couple of sneak peeks of the puppies at their first feeding, getting their umbilical cord tied off and the proud mama cleaning them.

Sasha is off to her New Home

All of the pups are well loved and cared for in this house which is why it's always hard to say goodbye. This sweet little girl is off to Half Moon Bay to be with her new family. How could you not miss a face as cute as this?

Our lovely little Coco

This is Coco one of our sweet little Brindle girls. She is very loving and loves to cuddle. She's a little on the shy side. She hates being in her playpen and loves to find a little spot to lay near her humans.

Our Charming Valentino

Valentino is our biggest male. He has lots of energy and is very playful. He loves playing with his squeaky toys and is perfecting his little bark. He has a perfect brindle coat and is a big ham!

Introducing the fabulous Gucci

Here in our house we know this little lady by Gucci. She is playful, loves to cuddle and one of her favorite things to do is get belly rubs. She has found her forever home with an awesome couple and two big brothers. She will soon be known as Sasha.

Meet Louis

Louis is one of our available male pups with a Brindle coat and great markings. He is very sweet and loves to cuddle. He likes quiet time and will often find a corner alone to "get away". He loves to play with toys and is especially fond of children. If you have any questions about Louis please feel free to contact us.

Our second litter

On May 29, 2013, Pupcake delivered her second litter. As a "puppy mommy" I can tell by the look in her eyes when she will be giving birth. I was hoping for early morning but not as early as it turned out. The first baby started to pop out at about 1:17 am and the last was born around 5:00 am. All of the puppies were taken to the vet at 2 days old and given their first check up. Dr. Stubchauer gave us the all clear and we have been in 7 weeks of puppy heaven since then. Okay I may be stretching the truth a little bit when I say "puppy heaven" especially when it's time for them to go to their crate for bed time and they whine and cry because they want to continue playing or when i'm up late at night / early morning cleaning up 4 loads of puppy poopy but we have had many memorable experiences with them already. Here is one of my favorite :)

Too much fun

Today I took the puppies out and fed them two at a time. It can be quite hectic having all 7 of them running around the house so this helps to make it a little more manageable. Having them out in twos also allows me to give them more one one one attention which they all love. I now have them separated from Pupcake at night. She is sleeping in a bed out side of the puppy play pen. The first night she cried. It was sweet to know that she needs them as much as they need her. I really had to separate them because they should all be completely weaned by now and Pupcake keeps sneaking in the pen to give them milk. Pretty soon they will be going home and I need to make sure the transition is as easy as possible. Here are a few shots I took tonight of our lovely little girls. This is our lavender girl after she finished her dinner. I gave her a little belly rub and she was loving it! She actually had dinner last and since there are 7 she got to eat alone and get some quality time playing with me.

All our puppies found their forever homes!!

I am so excited to announce that as of 10/15, all of our puppies have found loving homes.  Some will go to new pet owners and some will join families that already have one dog.  I am relieved to know that of the many people that showed interest we found the perfect home for each and every one. It has been a very rewarding experience raising these little pups and I plan to keep up this blog for my future puppy owners.  I have been asked may times if I would ever consider having another litter and the answer is, yes, I will but my girl needs rest and to get back in to tip top shape before I can even think of breeding her again so it will be a while. Check back in with us next year!

Photo shoots and Puppies

They just don't mix! Out of about a little less than 100 shots, I got a few decent pictures. Thats only for 2 puppies. They are always on the move and just perfected their prancing skills. Here are our available babies. We have one male his name is Saint he is Brindle. He is so playful and is such a sweet heart.
Our lime green girl is named Allie (short for alligator) she is tiny and fiesty. She has one black front paw and is always ready to take on her brother or sister to get cuddled first.
Our Silver girl is named Rue she has the cutest personality. She is quiet, and is a little cuddle bug. More pictures are coming soon. I need to make some more puppy sized witch hats!
