PIPPIN X GABE LITTER

Here are some early shots of the puppies that Pippin had on January 19, 2014.  There are 2 girls and 2 boys and I think they are all spoken for unless someone changes their mind of course....The smallest pups are both boys one smaller than the other and the 2 girls are almost equal in size at this point.  They are just beginning the weaning process and so far are not thrilled with mom not being available night and day. :(.  It just takes a little time for them to realize that she is not thrilled with their sharp little teeth that are beginning to pop through LOL.  Will try to get some new pictures up as they continue to grow and progress..



  Each picture has one boy and one girl in the pictures.

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!!

Hihopes Pace Setter By Dumont

 

 

IMG_1700

This is an updated photo of “Mario” at 7 months old now.  I have decided to find this sweet little boy a home.  As hard as it is to let him go sometimes it is necessary.  He is a great little guy.  He loves people and other dogs.  He is still very much puppy like and of course has all his vaccines on board.  He is in excellent health and only requires a neuter to be done. The roll of paper towels is to give you an idea of his size.  He is close to full grown at this age. I have just come to the decision that I cannot keep another boy here.  Since I am working on the career or my older boy I think it is the best interest of this happy little boy to let him have a home with a family to love him and give him a lifetime of love and attention.

The Two Newest Additions Here At Hihopes Yorkies

Hihopes Pace Setter By Dumont


His call name is Mario for Mario Andretti since his mother is Dani named for the race car driver Danica Patrick.  His father is CH Dumont's Classic Act Bentley.  He looks a lot like his dad and has a lot of promise so far. 


This is "Poppy".  I haven't found her registered name yet but it will come.  Poppy is out of my girl Hihopes Sweet Child O Mine and Spenser for Hire of North Meadow.  She is a little on the shy side and needs to gain some confidence.  But her structure is very nice and she is a pretty girl.  If she is not slated for the conformation ring I know she will be good as a mother.  Just have to wait and see how it works out for her.


Dazzle X Viggo

Here is the single puppy that was born on July 28,2013 from Hihopes Razzle Dazzle Em and
Champion Hihopes Return of the King (Viggo). 

This little boy is 9 weeks today when the photo was taken and he has an outstanding personality.  His tail never stops and he is attitude all over!  I am sorry to make the decision to let him go to a new home but there is just not room here for another boy right now.  He is going to make the best pet for someone when he finds his new home.

December 13, 2013  Just to let you all know this boy has found his new home and is a happy member of his new family!!!

Latest News

Good News!!
Patsy has found her forever home with a couple who are artists and has a wonderful life going to work with them and traveling too!  She has been renamed Pixel with Pixie for short.  She is adapting well and having a terrific time.

Roxie's pups are all going to their new homes in a couple of weeks so it will be quiet here on the puppy front for a little while.  Just have the single puppy from Dazzle and Viggo that needs his new home.  I need to get some pictures for the blog....hopefully a little later today.  He will be ready to leave at end of October so he is available now.  Although no brothers and sisters he is full of attitude and fun.  He just loves attention and people.  Always wagging that little tail and asking for some play time.  Very very happy little guy. 

Hope to be back soon to update with some pictures!!
