Puppy update

Well, 2 days ago Dido's puppy celebrated their 1 month birthday :) And Scarlet's turned 2 weeks old! We took pics about 2 days early of Dido's pups - so their pics are already up and I just got new pics of Scarlet's pups up on the site that I took yesterday.

Now for a little update on how they are as I really don't go into detail at all on the website. First Dido's pups - they are just ADORABLE. They are doing wonderful, Dido is weaning them on her own and they are on 3-4 meals a day now. They love attention, if they hear you walk in the room they start jumping up and down trying to get out of their pool. They love to play with fuzzies, the fuzz that is in the stuffed toys. They rip and tear at the fuzz and chase it around when you pull it. Their are a few that stand out vocally, Aaliyah and Caleb are probably the mouthiest though Alexa has barked a few times. Liam and Aidan are very quiet - Liam keeps to himself but is very adventerous and Aidan likes to play with his siblings but just doesn't make any noise. Cadence has about the prettiest head, she's just beautiful. Aurora has big huge eyes that just melt you when you look at her. Milo is adorable - very spunky little girl, always into everything. When I let them run around the room at night when I am changing their pads she goes under the bed and finds fuzzies to play with - she comes when you call to her and they all wag their tails non-stop. They LOVE their food, jump up as soon as they hear the pan clank and dive into their grub. We are very happy with them, personality wise and so far structurely - they are going to be some very nice pups. Aidan and Milo are basically spoken for now, we have finally made our decisions on them. I think that Liam and Alexa will be hanging out here for a while until we can make a decision between them which may take a few months ;)

Now for Scarlet's pups - they are HUGE!!! Scarlet's pups have always been big and fat, probaby because she's had so few. Eyes are just starting to crack open and I walked in earlier to see Cecilia playing with Alastair - she was grabbing a hold of him and trying to pull back and forth, so cute. And at the same time, Lizzie was trying to escape - unsuccessfully :) Another week and they should be tons of fun, that's when the eyes and ears will be open, they will start eating and playing and just being cute. We are so happy with all these babies!!!!

Now for other news, my Basenji girl "Belle" came in season - she left on Saturday to go to her breeder Gale - from there she went home with her co-owner Jerry who flew her out to the stud dog and they got the first breeding yesterday. There will be 4 breeders on this litter and it should be incredibly exciting, we expect some beautiful babies from this litter. Probably just black and tri colors to expect. They will be whelped here at Shannon Down and the pups will leave to the co-breeders at 8 weeks.

Also, Leigh came in season and she is leaving on Monday to go to Hudson to be bred. Mom was very impressed with his puppies that she saw at the National this year (I didn't get to go to this one). So we are really excited about this litter - not sure what to expect with numbers as she produced 3 pups with Face and 9 with Flynn! We will have a fun puppy filled fall and winter this year!!!
