Waiting List Updates

Now that we have some puppies and I’m pretty certain a few people from the list are getting them, I have updated the actual wait list and we are ready to receive a few more deposits from those on the pre-wait list. 

I am also going to discontinue the pre-wait list and just go back to doing things my regular way, because it’s too co fusing for me to have 2 lists!

A couple people have found puppies from other sources, so their names have been removed. Also, this new list does not include the 3 names of those getting the golden, solid sable, and one of the black/white girls from Chantel’s litter. 

As of today, we have 12 people that have sent deposits and are on our waiting list. 

  
Of these 12 people, I have heard from many regarding whether or not they are ready for a pup from Chantel’s litter. This is the info I have as of today. A line means no, a circle means yes!

  
If there is no mark, I have not heard from that family yet, and I’m assuming they are not ready and I’m moving forward with those that have circles. 

Right now we have a black/white female and a blenheim male still available from Chantel’s litter, and a gold male and Tri male from Paige’s litter. There is a video on our FB page that I did live yesterday that shows both of these litters. Chantel’s pups will be ready in 3 weeks and the Paige pups are just 2 weeks old, so we have another 6 weeks for them. 

We are also ready to take more names on the waiting list. Below is our pre-wait list (the first and last of its kind, lol!), and if your name is on that list, it’s time to decide if you’d like to send a deposit to get on the waiting list. Please get in touch with me ASAP so I can send our address. 

  
Please let me know if you have any further questions. I hope to hear from many of you soon!

Best Dog Ever – Shadow

I was going through emails and found this beautiful testament and wanted to share with all of you!

  
Hi, Kristy,
You do not know how difficult it was for me not to have you send one of the sable boys with Shadow today. The livelier of the two sable boys stole my heart weeks ago. I am smart enough to know it will be better to get them a couple years apart, so at some point I came to my senses, but can’t stop thinking of how cute they’d be together. 

No matter what, you can count on a repeat customer at some point down the road when I want to get a little brother for Shadow. In the meantime, I will have so much fun training him and taking him everywhere we go.

Shadow is such a doll. He fits right in. 

Thank you, Kristy, for the very professional way you run your business. I have known many breeders and you really stand head and shoulders above the rest. It was a pleasure working with you, and I do hope to do work with you again when it is time for Shadow to get a little brother.

Warmest regards,

Laurie


FB Live Instead!

Oh man, I almost forgot to post here!  I decided to do the video via the FB page. You should be able to just go to our FB group Silver Paw Kennels and see the live feed. It will be a first again, so hopefully some of you can join me and we can figure this out together!

See you in 15 minutes!!

Periscope

Hi Everyone!

It’s getting closer to puppy selection time with Chantel’s litter and I want to try something new!

Do you all have Periscope?  Do you know what it is?

I’m not an expert but I do know this…Periscope is a way for me to video the puppies and you all can watch live, while its happening, and ask questions and make comments in real time. 

I think this will be an amazing tool for puppy selection and I’m excited to try it this week. I’m considering the early evening hours, maybe around 5 pm (PST) on Thursday, March 17.  That is tomorrow!

My Periscope name is Grace Without Tears (for now) if you want to follow me and get the notification when the video begins. 

I have never done this before as the presenter, but I have taken part in Periscopes as someone watching and commenting. I expect it will be an adventure. 

I hope to see you all tomorrow night!  Chantel’s pups are 4 weeks old and starting to move around and play with each other!

Draper is Homeless Again

I don’t understand why this lovely little dog is still here. 

  
He is 5 months old. He has been neutered. He has been handled a lot since he was a puppy. He has had a couple homes lined up that fell through. I know there is a family out there who will love Draper and give him the home he deserves. He will be a perfect match for someone. 

He is basically a “phase 2” Accelerated Puppy, yet without the full cost. He walks on a leash, does stairs with ease, sleeps in a crate, and is a gentle spirit and loves to cuddle. He loves the kids at school and he is a pleasant little guy to have around. He needs final potty training and that’s about it. 

He is from Abbey’s litter, born in Octover 2015. You can scroll back to read his story. 

He has a Health Certificate (his 3rd one), and he can go home any day. He was scheduled to fly to JFK this Friday, but plans had to change. 

  
(Before he was groomed last week)

His price is $1250 (1/2 the price of a phase 2 Accelerated Puppy), $300 for his neuter, and $425 for shipping if that is necessary. ($1975 total). This price is firm. 
Please call me if you would like to give Draper a forever home.

Not Enough Puppies

I’m writing to reach out to all of you that have sent an email in the past month regarding our puppies and our waiting list. 

I have done a poor job responding to all the emails and part of the reason is that I don’t have answers to your questions. 

Right now the waiting list has 18 families. The secondary waiting list has almost 10 families plus many of you who have said you’d like to be included. 

To try and be more efficient regarding this whole process, I’m going to ask that you call me and leave your name and phone number if you’d like to be added to the list. 

My number is 509-936-2715. I may be able to answer and talk with you, or you may need to leave a message. 

Please understand that the wait for one of our puppies may be quite long, like up to a year, but also there is nothing to lose by getting your name on the list. 

I will be responding to all emails with a general email in the next few days. Thanks again for your patience. 

We do have 2 litters now with a total of 7 puppies. We also have 2-3 more females that have been bred and should deliver puppies this spring. 

Hoping to hear from many of you via my cell phone. If you did already call, please try again. Thanks!!

Next Monday

I have a lot of emails in my inbox and I want to let you all know I will respond to them next Monday!!  I’m in charge of a fundraiser event Saturday night, involved in an extra curricular teaching activity most of Sunday, and then in charge of food for a dinner event Sunday night. I’m in survival mode for the next 3 days, but I will answer your emails soon!

I can give you a quick update about the new puppies!  Chantel’s litter is looking fabulous and we have 5 gorgeous Cavachon pups!!

I will post photos of them next week. 

I asked to hear from everyone on the waiting list and this is what I have so far. If the number is not marked in any way, it’s because I haven’t heard from that family yet. 

I just need to know if you might be ready for a puppy in April, or if you need to wait for a future litter. 

We have 2 black/white females, 1 gold female, 1 dark solid sable female, and 1 blenheim male. 

  

I’ll come up for air again on Monday!  Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Available Puppy

This adorable solid sable pup is still available. If you are on the pre waiting list, this could be your opportunity to get a pup sooner, rather than later. 

He is the last pup from Abbey’s litter and his name is Draper. You can scroll down the blog and read more about him. 

He has been health cleared by both of my vets and he is ready to go anytime!!  Please email if interested.

He’s the cutie on the right!!

I apologize for any typos.

Updated Waiting List

We have new puppies that will be ready in April. If you see your name on this list, I need to know if the timeline of a puppy going home in April is going to work for you. 

  
Chantel’s litter will be 8 weeks old on April 13, and they will be 13 weeks old on May 18. The first step to puppy selection is deciding if the timeline works with your schedule. If it does, we want to know so we can circle the number by your name. We’ve already heard from two of you via FB, thank you for your quick response. 

We also need to hear from you if you will not be ready, so we can move down the list to the next person. I’d love to hear from all of you within the next couple days. 

I want to shout out to anyone who actually sent a deposit, but doesn’t see his/her name on this list. Let me know if any of you fall into that category and I will get things straightened out. 

And finally, some of you are on our pre-waiting list. This list does not require a deposit and I will be in touch with you when I’m ready for you to actually send a deposit. 

If you have any questions, please send an email to:

 silverpawcavachons@gmail.com

Thanks and I will post photos of the babies in a couple weeks.
