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.
