4 week old babies!

They're here!

Picabo's puppies were born on August 11.  It's my fault for not updating the blog until now, sorry all... it's just been a busy time!

She had 7 females and 1 male.  Sorry to so many who wanted males from this litter!  We do still have a female available....

It's that time again!!!

Picabo is in season and will be bred to a dog named SURFURR.  His registered name is Amberac Ramala Surfurr.  This is what's considered a line breeding. as he is also Sydney's sire.

Puppies are due approximately August 15.   More later.....

Good NEWS!

Picabo had her babies on Friday, January 5th.  Unfortunately, she only had 5, instead of what we thought would be 7.   She has 2 males and 3 females.   Mom and babies are doing great!

She's pregnant!

The ultrasound last Friday revealed at least seven (7) PICABO puppies.    They'll be taken via c section on Friday, January 4, 2018., at 9 AM.   More after that.....

In loving memory

In the words of Gordy Leach....

I'm sorry for your loss of Smooch,
There never was a better pooch.

She lives on in her awesome pups,
That fill so many loving cups.

Her circle of life is now complete,
God won't make another one quite as sweet.

Fingers are crossed!

Picabo was bred twice last week with 'Mr. WAVE'.... a stunning Presley grandson, and a Montana great grandson!
Ultrasound to follow in another 3-4 weeks, but, puppies are expected January 5.

It's happening!

Picabo came into season yesterday!  If all goes according to the 'mother nature' schedule of dog breeding, she should have puppies during the week of January 8, and they would go to their new homes the week of March 5.  Given a few days each way, that should be the schedule!  Looking forward to lots of puppy visits in late January!!

and, here they are!

At 7 1/2 weeks, bathed and ready for their new homes.... here's the 7 babies!

July 4 parade in downtown Afton

And a wonderful July 4 it was!   Spectators thought the puppies were the best of the parade, and of course, we agree!

Puppy playtime

Thanks to our friend Mark for making this fabulous puppy play toy!

Family lineage!

Here's a 'not so perfect' photo of Snowshoe's current FIVE generations of ladies!
Smooch at 13, Sydney at 10, Lindsey at 6, Picabo at 2+ and little Dolly at 5 weeks...

Here's Mom and the babies at 3 weeks old!

They're Here!

Seven puppies, 6 boys, 1 girl, arrived on May 24, 2017.  Coincidentally, her great granddam SMOOCH, celebrated her 13th birthday on the same day, and is a Presley daughter as well.

Great News!

Picabo's ultrasound on Friday showed 'lots' of little swimmers!  We're pretty sure that we saw 'TEN' of them....  good news for lots of families waiting for this event!!  We will be doing a c section on her on Friday, May 26.  She's already getting 'chubby' and even more snuggly than usual, which are great signs....   more news later!   The theme of this litter is 'MUSIC LEGENDS' so get your thinking caps on for names.

Apologies!

I totally realize how long it's been since I've updated our blog.  As you can no doubt tell by now, I don't blog when I don't have anything meaningful to share.  Now that 'we're back in business' again with breedings, I'll try and be more chatty.   Thanks to all of you for your patience and for following us and our breeding program.  Wishing Picabo lots of babies!!

It's finally here!

Picabo was bred to Presley on Tuesday, March 28, 2017.  Ultrasound will be done in about 4 weeks to determine with certainly that it took, and will give us the count.  All went well with the surgical implant.  Puppies are due May 27, 2017.  Let's hope for a VERY BIG litter, as I know there's many of you out there waiting to hear!!

News

As you've heard, Snowshoe won't be having another litter until early 2017.  HOWEVER.... Lindsey and Cole's sister Jersey has a litter now!  Jersey has 7 girls and 4 boys, born on April 18, 2016.  They're with their 'human' Mom, Maryanne McNichols, in Stacy, MN.

The FREEDOM litter has arrived

Lindsey x Wave puppies arrived on July 4, 2015.  Unfortunately, she only had two babies, one boy and one girl.
 Lindsey's uterus has been determined to not be able to support another litter, and will be spayed after the completion of these two babies.  That leaves Snowshoe in a position to have no litters due for nearing two years. 
Picabo is Lindsey's daughter, and our next in line for breeding, however, she is only 6 months old, and has a show career first, clearances to obtain, and will not venture into motherhood until after the age of two.
To those on our waiting list for puppies, I can provide you with references for several other reputable breeders within MN and WI.
