As I promised, here is the blog post for the Mimi litter. There is a new video of them on Facebook. They will be ready for their new homes after February 13th. We would like them all to go home the following week if possible.
They were born December 19, 2020 and it is an F1 litter. They are looking to be on the average to small side. Mom is 12-13lbs and dad is 16 lbs. Kingsley has been my male that has produced the smallest babies and Mimi is a new mom so I don’t have any data from past litters for her.
If you’re interested in being considered for this litter, please fill out the litter form here:
There are 5 puppies in the litter. The Google form will be open until 8pm Saturday, February 6th. I will then compile the names in waiting list order and let you know when I’ll start making calls.
And then the youngest litter is Maddie’s litter. They are just 4 weeks old.
Four solid sable males
I will be posting a link for the Mimi pups in a new blog post so everyone who is on the waiting list and interested can be part of that litter selection.
I’ve closed out the Google Form for the Penny litter and compiled the names of everyone who was interested. Please be ready tomorrow (Sunday) January 31, beginning at 10am. I will be calling (and face timing those with iPhones).
I will call people in the order listed below. If I call and nobody answers, I WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PERSON, and when I’m done with them, I will try calling you back again. It’s very important that you don’t miss my call and get skipped as there are only two pups and this could be very disappointing if I have to skip you. I will use the phone number provided in the Google form.
Here is the calling order for Penny’s litter:
1. #65 Bobbi S, Male
2. #70 Amy H, Female, Male
3. #80 Krista Y, Female, Male
4. #81 LynnCraig A, Male
5. #90 Summer K, Male
6. #99 Holly W, Female, Male
7. #110 GaryPam W, Male
Once both puppies are matched, I will post again on the blog letting everyone know. I will not call the rest of the list to let you know the pups are matched.
I am planning to take pictures of the Mimi and Maddie pups tomorrow and make a blog post for the litter interest form for Mimi’s puppies. They are 6 weeks old so we need to get them matched soon as well.
I think that wraps things up for now. These two are ready for their new homes!
I know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from me. I’ve been caring for my mom and back and forth to California a few times. Things aren’t totally settled yet but I am home and it’s time to match the Penny puppies.
There are two puppies in this litter, a girl and a boy. They will be ready to begin going home Friday, February 5th. They will see the vet for their health certificate on Thursday the 4th.
These are going to be large dogs when they are adults. Here are a couple photos with their current weights listed as well.
Female, 4lbs 3ozMale, 5 lbs 10 oz
To give some perspective, most of our puppies are 3.5-4lbs when they leave and they are 8 weeks old. These puppies are just 7 weeks old, and at those weights I guesstimate that they will be from 22-28 lbs as adults. they will be what is called a “Megachon”!!
We will be matching these puppies on Sunday. I will begin calling people at 10am and I will be available to do FaceTime with those that have an iPhone.
There is a new video of these puppies on our Facebook page, Silver Paw Cavachons.
If you are on our waiting list and would like to be considered for this litter, please fill out this form by clicking the link below.
It asks for some basic info that helps keep me organized as I begin to make the phone calls. I will post the call list before Sunday and I will accept forms until 8pm on Saturday night.
Please let me know via email of you have any questions about the process.

PS…For those asking, my mom is back in the hospital but stable. She was ready to be discharged Wednesday and then her A-fib acted up and she got a UTI. So they are keeping her a few more days for observation. I’ll post periodic updates here because we live two states away and I’m the only family she has to help her through this time in her life. She’s 85 and just had knee replacement surgery. We are hoping for a full recovery and for her to be independent again if possible. Her ongoing care will be a big priority in my life so the next couple litters may be similar to this one in that there won’t be much said until it’s time for them to be going home. Be assured that they are being cared for daily like normal. Nothing has changed there.
On that note, for those that like to plan ahead, here is what we have coming up:
Mimi & Kingsley, F1, 5 pups, ready February 14. Two golden females, two blenheim males, one black/white male.
Maddie & Finn, F1, ready March 9. Four solid sable males.
I will try to post pictures of the two newer litters this weekend. As you consider the puppies determine first if one will fit into your timeline. Then decide if you like the gender/color combos. If both of those are a yes, you’ll want to fill out the litter form for that litter when I post it. We will talk personality details once you’re actually in a position to get one of the puppies.
I’ve done another waiting list update. I finally pulled off all the names of everyone who bought puppies from the past 4-5 litters. I’ve also added all the new names of people that have recently sent waiting list fees, AND I’ve removed the names of people that reached out and let me know they no longer want to be on the waiting list.
This means you likely have a new waiting list number and you’ll need to use that in your correspondence with me. These are the numbers we will use to match the next three litters, Penny, Mimi, and Maddie (did I mention that Maddie had four solid sable male puppies last week?).
I will be posting pictures of the puppies next week and we will begin puppy selection with Penny’s litter of two. I will post the Google Form for those interested in the Penny pups. I can let you know now that there is a very large male (likely a megachon), and a big female, and both are blenheim in color.
And back to the waiting list, if your name is missing, please let me know via email. When people leave comments here on the blog they are the last thing I see and I often don’t respond to them. Email is best and if things are urgent, call me.
If you’ve recently inquired about a puppy, you should be receiving an email soon. We are still accepting names for the waiting list. Wait times for a puppy are difficult to determine but it’s safe to say at least 6-12 months if you get on the list now.
Let me know if you have any questions—via email!!!
I got an email this morning from a past buyer checking in to see if everything was all right since I hadn’t posted anything in several weeks. I thought I’d share my response with all of you since I’m sure others are wondering the same thing.
“Dear ________,
Thanks so much for reaching out. My mom had knee surgery and a total knee replacement in December 31st. She’s 85 and while things have been healing fine, it has felt a little touch and go just due to her age. I spent a week in CA during the surgery over Christmas break and then came home. After getting back in the groove of home/work/dog life for two weeks, we had a new litter born from Maddie, so there are currently three litters of puppies that will be pictured soon. My mom has had 24 hour/day caregivers for the past two weeks and I made another trip to CA to give them a few days off. The night before I left, my mom had to go back to the ER because she hadn’t felt well and had blood in her stool. That was two days ago. We are hoping she will come home later today as they found an old ulcer but she doesn’t seem to be bleeding anywhere else. So things have definitely been the normal busy in my life plus details with my mom. I’ll be back home on Sunday and back to puppies and teaching. There are a total of 11 puppies in the three litters: 1 blenheim female
2 golden females
3 blenheim males
1 black/white male
4 solid sable males We will begin puppy selection for Penny pups next week. She has a blenheim male and female.”
I will do my best to get photos of all the puppies posted next week. For now, hubby is holding down the fort and I’m enjoying some California sunshine!
The nice thing about dogs is that they have no idea that last year was a tough year. They live in the moment and don’t require too much to be happy!!
This next week the last Fergie pup, both Abbey pups, and most likely both Sophia pups (tiny blenheim female is pending) will be going to their new homes. This will wrap up our 2020 litters and we will move forward with the Mimi and Penny litters in the next couple weeks.
I just got off the phone with a buyer and I want to share a bit about the conversation. It had been a hard year. The family had been split and a sibling lost and the prospect of getting a puppy bleak since our waiting list was so long. But somehow the Fergie pups were matched to people in the #70-99 range on the waiting list and this family will welcome their new member next week!! The new owner was in tears telling me how happy she was to welcome a bundle of love into their battered home. This was really special to hear. I reminded her that the puppy would make her laugh, make her cry, and most likely make her mad too!! But I wanted to share this story because all of you touch my life in a special way. There are SO MANY stories like this where a puppy has brought therapy and healing into a home.
Thank you for all your support through the years (we started in 2003). It’s because of all of you that we can keep doing what we do!
I pray 2021 will be better for all of us, and even if it doesn’t get easier, at least you have (or will soon have) a furball of wet kisses to bring a smile to your day!!
