Puppies Growing Up

The puppies in Jolie's litter all have their eyes open now and are starting to be wobbly explorers. They will be 3 weeks old this coming Wednesday and are finding their voices as well as their legs.


I just love this girl's expression already ...






The next in size, the darker girl.





The larger red girl ...




And the boy ...



... getting in the last word.

Snow Play

We had a break in the temps last weekend, and it actually was quite sunny and pleasant for a good part of the weekend. Today, we're edging into a major thaw, and the yard doesn't look even this white, and will likely be more of a mud pit by tomorrow ... it's just that time of year. The blue boy, Kane, will be leaving soon for his new home at Cassbar Shelties (co-owned by Michelle Rogowski, myself and Cynthia Charbonneau,Cynchar Shelties) and I know Kendall will miss her brother, but in the meantime, they certainly know how to have fun!


Game on!

A New Family

Last Wednesday, our beautiful Jolie - Am/Can Ch Shaydeechase Girl Interrupted - presented us with a much anticipated litter by the stunning Am/Can Ch GrandGables The Frat Boy. Pictured at 3 days old, we have 3 lovely ladies and 1 handsome fella. All are doing well, and once again, Jolie is proving to be "mom extraordinaire"!

Keva's Kids at 7 Weeks

Bathed, brushed and fluffed, ears up and a minor trim (these are the hairiest puppies!!), we marked the puppies' 7 week birthday with some head shots. The [only] girl is the tri, and I'm calling her "Kendall"; she'll be staying here and I'm still working on a registered name. We'll be watching one or two of the boys over the next couple of weeks in the hopes that at least one will be kept as a show/breeding prospect. We're extremely pleased with the consistent look of these puppies, and their temperaments are the best! This has been one of the easiest litters ever ... a few lucky families are getting some wonderful puppies!


First born puppy, this fellow's a bi blue.





And the other bi blue, puppy #2.





Here is the third boy, a show hopeful if he can manage to not grow too much over the next few weeks.





And the last boy, another blue merle with white and tan, like #3.





Finally, this is "Kendall". I love her feisty personality, her neat little body and her sweet, feminine expression. I'm excited to watch her grow up!
