THE PUPPIES HAVE ARRIVED!!!!

The new litters have arrived at last.  Dani and Cash litter was born on January 14 with just one boy and one girl.  They are growing and thriving and almost have their eyes open.
 
Pippin and a Moonlight boy that is here for breeding had her litter on Sunday the 19th.  She was so big with puppies and required an emergency Sunday C-Section.  A HUGE ouch to the pocket book with that vet bill.  I think that per pound it costs more for these puppies than having a baby!!  She had a total of 5 but one boy did not make it through the process.  So we have 2 boys and 2 girls that seem to be coming along fine.  She made a speedy recovery from the surgery and you would never know it happened...  She is a trooper.

Roxie who was also bred for her final litter with a Moonlight boy went into labor on Friday at about midnight and delivered one boy puppy who never took a breath.  It was terribly sad for all especially her as she cried pitifully for her baby.  I took 2 of Pippin's litter and gently placed them with her and she has totally adopted them as her own.  She so loves being a mother. 

These are the things as a breeder of these little dogs we have to adapt to and accept.  It is never easy and the losses are hard.  But if I let each one break my heart I could never continue and I would not have the joy of seeing the cute little survivors turn into such loveable little puppies and adults. So we learn to move on.

Pictures should come along as they get a little older since they are now only little black and tan eating and sleeping pups.  Soon they will be up and around and fun to look at so have patience:).

Finally and this is harder perhaps then losing the newborn pups, I am letting a 9 month old girl go to a pet home.  I just love her cuteness and personality but at 9 months she weighs barely 4 pounds.  I cannot breed or show a dog this small and she needs to have the special love and attention that a family can provide for her.  I am going to post a picture as soon as I can get a nice daytime shot so that she can show off her adorable self.

Latest News

A couple of updates:
"Mario"  found his new home shortly before Christmas and has a new name "Teddy"  He is being loved by a family that had purchased a puppy from me many years ago and had to let her go to her home with the rest of the yorkies at Rainbow Bridge.  I am so happy for the family and for him.  Everything works out for the best.
Now I have puppies that will be arriving this month!!  Very exciting.  One litter will be from my new Champion Cash The Check.  He finished his championship earlier in December. He can be seen in earlier blogs.  I have two others coming from CH boys from a good friend of mine at Moonlight Yorkies.  Can't wait to see what I will have.
Just heard from Animal Planet and "TOO CUTE".  They tell me they are just finishing on the production of my episodes and I can expect to hear from them soon regarding a date perhaps sometime in March or April.  They promise to let me know!!
