Winslow looking for his own home

2011-03-11T16:31:00.003-06:00

I have struggled with the decision to keep Winslow to show, or to let him go to his own family. I LOVE this dog! He is the SWEETEST dalmatian, actually the SWEETEST DOG I've ever known. He is beautiful, too. Winslow is 7 months old. He gets along great with adults, children, horses, and other dogs. He is fine with our barn cat.

Please contact me if you think you may have the right home for him. He would be a great therapy and/or performance dog. I would like him to be in a situation where he could be an ambassador for our breed.

Mesa

Mesa found a wonderful forever home with the family who has Martina and Toby's brother Turbo! How fun is that?!! Turbo has one blue eye, and so does Mesa. I'm so thankful that Courtney emailed looking for a new addition to their family.

Still available

Mesa is still looking for a forever home. She is a sweetheart. Nice moderate package. Blue eye on show side, other eye is dark.

Chandler (now Jumblie), Tucson (now Boone), and Phoenix left for their new homes in Canada. I guess since dad Mikey is Canadian, it's only fitting that half the pups go to Canada.

Sedona is living with her new "big brother" Kiba. Hopefully Kiba will show her how to be a well-behaved dalmatian.

Winslow is staying here. Mesa is looking for a forever home. They are currently 9 weeks old.

Jami and Bandit came over tonight. This was the puppies' second time meeting a non-dalmatian. This weekend they met Kix and Spud, two australian shepherds. Sedona was the most interested in Bandit. Bandit was a bit unsure at first, but then wanted the babies to play with her.

Everyone was wiggly tonight, so it was hard to get good face shots. But these should give a bit of an idea.

Time flies! Been investigating all the toys in the house, and exploring the great outdoors when it hasn't been too hot.

Hope to get some face shots on here in the next couple days. What a great bunch of cuties!

Pups grow so fast, it is amazing the changes that seem to occur overnight. Eyes and ears are open, spotting is showing thru the white hair, they are walking and playing, barking and howling!

Puppies 2010!

2010-07-28T18:28:00.002-05:00

Here we are again. Aruba has 6 beautiful babies born July 16th. The sire is Mikey, Am/Can Champion Cranbrooke Back to the Future. We hope some of these pups grow up and have the success their parents have had in the show ring. We hope ALL of the babies find wonderful homes, with lots of exciting adventures in their lives. My 13 week old pup, Gretchen, has already been to a parade, softball game, 5 year old's birthday party, agility classes (to observe), a kennel club meeting, and visited local youth homes.

I am slow to get photos posted because my camera and computer are not cooperating with each other. Hang in there, I hope to get face shots in the next couple days as their eyes fully open.

This litter is named for cities in Arizona. Liver girl is Sedona, Black girl is Mesa, Black boy is Chandler, Black ear patch boy is Phoenix, and the liver boys are Tucson and Winslow.

Rich is the only pup left. Judy came from Indiana and took Big and Sugar home with her to meet their new families. Big will be showing in conformation, Sugar in conformation, obedience AND agility. Zac went home with Beth, after visiting an agility trial. He will also be doing breed, obedience, and agility. Bomshel went with Roger, Libby and Allen to meet her big brother Tiger.

Rich is enjoying the company of Bandit, my daughter's new puppy.

7 weeks

2009-09-16T22:38:00.002-05:00

Pups are 7 weeks old today. What a busy week! We traveled to Rochester, MN for hearing tests and big sister Hottie's dog show on Saturday. Hottie did well at the show, won a point AND won the Bred By Exhibitor Non-sporting group. Puppies were handled and evaluated by fellow show people.
Kevin, Rhonda, and Kami came to visit from Wisconsin, and left with sweet Rascal.
Today puppies went to my collie friend's house again. This time there was another litter visiting, so there were 11 collie pups!

We played outside, then came in to hang out while I did a few things indoors. Pups got bored while I was on the computer. This is the view from my chair:

Busy day

2009-09-07T13:42:00.004-05:00

The pups went for 3 car rides today. The first to my Dad's, where they ran around and explored the back yard. Then we went to my friend Jeanie's house, where they were able to play with 5 six week old collie pups-tri, sables, and white. Some smooths and some rough. Jeanie also had 6 kittens that were curious about all the dogs. Wish I'd remembered my camera! Hopefully Jeanie will send me a few that I can post.

The following stacked photos were also taken by Sheryl McCormick on Friday. The liver boys were not cooperating, they wanted to run and play. Just some quick shots to give an idea of body type and spotting.

So Sorry!

2009-09-05T15:23:00.003-05:00

I know many of you are checking here daily, sorry there hasn't been anything new. I've been so busy playing with the puppies (and cleaning up after them), I haven't had time to post.

These pics are from earlier this week. New pictures and STACKED shots were taken today by friend Sheryl McCormick. She hopes to get them uploaded this weekend and send me a link that I will post here. You will not be disappointed! Sheryl is an excellent photographer, and got some great action shots as well as stills.

Rich and Rascal went with me last night to visit some friends. They traveled well, and enjoyed be part of "pass the puppy".

Hope everyone is enjoying this great weather.

Sorry no new pictures, yet. Pups are keeping me so busy. Had visitors Sat. and Sun. to play with them. Sat was their first day outside due to the rainy weather we had last week. They are enjoying broadening their world.

I hope to take and post new pictures tonight.

Bomshel's eyes are definitely blue-beautiful! Zac has at least one blue eye, and maybe a partial on the other side. The other pups have brown eyes.

Busy evening here. Puppies kept going from me to Beth and back again. Very interested in climbing on us, chewing on us, and being held.
