Week 1 Photos

Hello everyone! I've finally been able to take some pictures of the puppies! YAY!

They are getting so big--they've at least doubled in size in their first week. They're definitely getting plenty to eat, those fat little tykes!

We've noticed that, at just one week old, they've started to growl, and it's SOOOO adorable! They also give little puppy-barks, which are really cute too.

Anyway, here are the pictures for you all to enjoy--and be sure to let us know if you're interested in adopting one of these puppies once they're older!



Puppies!

Hello to all you Countryside Cavachons fans out there! I KNOW I should have updated this sooner, but....

Anyway, I have GOOD NEWS for all of you! Nikki has had a litter of 5 BEAUTIFUL Cavachon puppies! They were born on May 28th early in the morning. They are all healthy and well, and are all white and wiggly, too. They look just like last year's litter, and so I'm sure that they'll also get the peach colored ears and spots as they get older, just like last year's litter did.

In this litter, funny enough, there is only one girl to four boys! She's going to have a lot of fun with all her brothers!

I'll be trying to get some pictures soon, maybe once their eyes are open. If any of you are interested in getting a puppy, just let us know (contact info here). They're a little too young to start reserving them, but you should be able to in a couple weeks. At least now you have something to look forward to! :-)

Another Litter

Hello to all the dog lovers and fans of Cavachons out there!

Here's what's going on.... I'm considering having another litter of puppies with Nikki this Spring. I would love to get some feedback on what everyone thinks of that idea! Post your comments below! With the last litter, I bred Nikki (a hybrid Cavachon) to a purebred Bichon (called a back-cross--see our About page). The puppies were adorable, and I thoroughly loved the experience. I was thinking that if I did another litter I would like to try breeding Nikki to a Cavalier stud instead of a Bichon. That might give the puppies some unique coloring. Well, I'd love to hear all your opinions on these matters, and comment away!

Thanks!

Kittens Now

Our mama cat, Scamper, had a litter or kittens three weeks ago. Here are some pictures of them now.

Biscuit - little female with a black spot.

Boo - totally jet-black male.

Button - white girl with grey spot.

 

Aren't they adorable? They are so sweet and precious, and I can't wait to watch them get bigger!



An Update! (I always love them!)

With pictures, too! That makes it double the fun! You all really don't know just how much pleasure it gives me to hear from people who have gotten a puppy from us!

Hi! Well, long time no talk! Busy with Lola. She is doing great. She is out side all the time playing with the kids. Potty [training] well - avoiding outside poops. Well, that we are working on. Everybody that meets her loves her - plenty of babysitters. Goes to bed at 9 and still getting up at 5:00 - 5:30 but hoping it gets better. Got her first spa treatment last week with a hair cut so cute!! ... Hope to keep in touch. Thanks so so much - we love her and can not imagine my life with out her. ~Judy

And is the picture that Judy sent of Lola just after her spa treatment. Isn't she adorable!

Well, thank you again Judy, and I can't wait to recieve more updates and pictures!

 

Update from Cooper (Kestrel)

I just received an email the other day that warmed my heart. It was from the family that adopted Kestrel, whom they've now named Cooper.

It read:

"Hi Sarah,
I hope you & your family are well! Just wanted to send an updated picture of Cooper! He continues to be such a perfect addition to our family! He lost his two front baby teeth, which was so funny (& cute)! We've given him 1 haircut - which we probably won't do again :-) we certainly are not professionals!! I keep him trimmed around the face, but we'll leave the rest to the groomers!!
Ok, just wanted you to know that he is so loved!"

I just have to say thank you so much for updating me! I really enjoy getting the latest reports! Keep them coming! :-)

  

Updates

Hello everyone! All the puppies are either at their new homes, or on their way there right now (Phoebe, the last puppy, is flying to Oregon as I type). So far, we have Chickadee, now named Lola Petunia, in Massachusetts; Jay, lengthened to Cooper Jay, in Pennsylvania; Kestrel, renamed Cooper, and Lark, who I believe is still Lark, right here in Minnesota; and lastly Phoebe, soon to be Zeeva, going to Oregon. That's all the puppies in litter 2012! I want to say a big thank you to the new families for giving our babies such excellent homes! I couldn't be happier!

I wanted to post a couple pictures that got sent to me today by the owners of Cooper (Kestrel). By the way, I love it when new owners send me pictures and updates! Keep them coming! If you send me family photos of you with your new puppy, I can (if you'd like) post it on this blog so everyone can see them! Here are the photos of Cooper:

Some of you have asked when we're going to have another litter. The answer is: We are considering a winter or spring litter. So, keep your eyes on this blog, follow it, and/or Contact Us and we'll let you know as soon as we're planning a definite litter. Thanks so much everyone!    

Not Completely Alone

Our last puppy, Phoebe (who is spoken for), is left all alone now that all the other puppies have gone to new homes. It will be her turn in a couple of weeks. :-) In the meantime, Phoebe would be feeling very lonely. Except for the fact that she has a few special friends. And here are the pictures of them playing together:



Last Puppy

Our last puppy, my little Lark-boy, went to his forever home just this morning. So, to any of you who were still interested in getting a puppy, I'm sorry, but we have none left in this litter. However, Contact Us anyway, and I'll let you know when we have any future litters. Thanks so much!

My favorite photo of my Teddy-Bear.
I'm so happy he went to such a wonderful home!

"We're All Ready!"

Hello everybody! The puppies are now 9 weeks old and all ready to go to their new families! Two puppies left just today--Jay and Chickadee. But Kestrel, Lark, and Phoebe are still around, and what's more, Larky-boy is STILL AVAILABLE! Here's some highlights of our weekly photo shoot, and, like always, you can view the individual pictures on our Available Pups page. Enjoy!

This week I did all the photos in our van to help the puppies say, "We're ready to go to our new homes!" :-)

I got two group photos that I really liked:

"When you'll gonna come take us home?
We're gettin' tired of waitin'!" :-P

Of course, two puppies make the perfect pose, and I just manage to catch it... only to realize that I forgot to turn on my flash! Well, what else could I do but crank up all the settings in my photo editor, and turn those pictures into really "old", grainy, discolored photos. And, what do you know, these two turned out to be my favorite photos from the whole shoot! :-)
