Layla’s mom came to see her yesterday. She was proud of her puppies, but more interested in her mom! I think she did like her mom looking at the babies. When Suzanne left, Layla peeped through the door at her as she drove away. I had to console her with a nice meaty bone!!!!

August 28th, 2010Mattie’s puppies
August 1st, 2010The first of Mattie’s puppies went home today. They were a huge hit. People are always amazed that their puppy gets out of the crate and gives them kisses! To them it is no different than a trip to the Vet. They are well socialized, love people and have the fantastic confidence of a puppy raised with profound love!
Lacey is due to deliver very soon:
July 25th, 2010Lacey is out of Silk and she has her same spunky disposition. We will do her x-ray tomorrow and get a head count.
Mattie’s puppies are 7 weeks
July 25th, 2010Mattie has gone home to be with her family. The puppies are starting to leave. They have been so unbelievably cute and the time has flown. Check out their video and photos if you haven’t seen the updates.
Sufi’s Puppies Arrived:
June 23rd, 2010We have 5 perfect puppies (4 girls and one boy) that arrived 6/22/10. The puppies are all red like their daddy. We are very excited about this litter. I waited a long time for Sufi and Romeo mating. Sufi is out of our foundation girl, Silk. She has a perfect fleece coat, is very athletic, and has wonderful temperament/conformation. We will post pictures of the pups this week-end.
Mattie’s puppies
June 23rd, 2010The pups are doing great. Because there are 10 puppies, I am supplementing with Leerburg formula (whole goat’s milk, whole yogurt, egg and a tad bit of maple syrup). After the pups nurse, I offer them additional formula. They have all gained weight everyday! Mattie is a wonderful mom and she is staying with them most of the time. She did take a long walk with us today. She was running across the field. I am amazed at how athletic she can be after producing 10 puppies a little over 2 weeks ago!!
Puppies Are Here!!!
June 7th, 2010Mattie has 10 beautiful babies! We have 8 girls and 2 boys! Mattie did a superb job and is a great mom. I can’t wait to see them develop.
Happy Birthday Silk
March 8th, 2010Today is Silk’s 6th B’day. She is retired and watching her children make babies. She enjoys walks and playing tug with Alayna. I still think Silk is labradoodle perfection. She is so smart and she keeps me warm on cold nights. Happy Birthday girlfriend and daughter.
Chance
March 29th, 2009I heard from Chance’s family and he is doing wonderful in New York. He is close to our boy Gus (School Therapy Dog) and will be meeting with him soon. He has already made new friends in the neighborhood (a wheaten and another dog). He is walking several times a day with Madalyn and her son. They adore him and he adores them. Madalyn sent me a photo of our beautiful boy and now I just need to learn how to up load photos! I think Chance is gorgeous and everything I breed toward. I’m so happy that he is a loved family member and has adjusted so well.
Silk’s final litter:
March 23rd, 2009Silk is ending her career with a bang. The puppies she produced this time are all awesome. I can’t wait to see them at 6 weeks. At the same time, I want to appreciate this precious time with them and the amazing experience of watching Silk be a mother. She went outside with me today and was rolling and playing and suddenly she ran toward the house and to her puppies. She must have heard one of them cry. Her hearing is so much better than humans. Or she sensed they needed her. I will never know. I know her dedication to those puppies is amazing.
When she had her first litter I still had my “bossy” old labrador with us. Nyala, the Lab, was very intimidating to all of the dogs even though she was old and had HD and really was quite helpless. Silk was very intimidated by her. One day Nyala decided to go and check out Silk’s puppies. Silk was obviously shaken. She stood between the puppies and Nyala, her body shaking with fear, offering up a fierce growl. I came in and made Nyala leave the room. I had so much admiration for Silk. She obviously would have given her life for her babies.
She is an incredible mother.
