I should have posted these first!  There is also a video of them nursing on Facebook. 

All of our Cavachon litters have been born and there are 18 puppies to choose from. Two have already been matched to their families which leaves the following 16 puppies still available for adoption. 

 
This is how I keep track once puppy selection has taken place. The sticker is removed and then placed in my planner with the basic info for the family. 

It is at this time when deposit checks are cashed and money is no longer refundable. 

I need to double check the spelling of Daniela’s last name, (that’s why it isn’t finished yet). 

This is a quick updated version of the waiting list. 

(We lost the Blenheim F from the newest Roxy litter, and the Sadie & Daisy pups are Bichons)

The “circled” names are those that are ready now. Shannon and Janice should also be circled. It’s a lot of little details to keep up with and sometimes photos are snapped before all the info is completely in place. 

With 16 available puppies and 23 (plus) on the waiting list, not everyone will get a pup this time around. 

I plan to post photos today of Abbey’s litter of 6 and get some final answers from anyone that is interested in her litter. 

I can’t wait any longer due to families wanting puppies for Christmas and/or wanting to book flights to pick up their puppy in person BEFORE Christmas. Flight prices are going to get crazy for those traveling in cabin the longer we wait. 

Stay tuned for major cuteness overload!!

And as always, let me know if you have any questions. 

Tuesday, November 3, 12.05 am…one of the mothers in the nursery WON’T STOP BARKING. 

12:15 am…I went out there to see what the trouble was. Puppies are due, so I figured I would find puppies born. Likely the noise was another mother barking at the one giving birth. 

But all I found was a nervous mom, digging in her litter box and nesting in her wheping bed. No visible contractions. Temperature 100.5, not a soon to deliver puppies temp. 

1 am…I went back to bed but the dog started barking again as soon as I left.  I was not interested in getting an email from the neighbor regarding the noise. We had to figure out something. 

1:15 am…Hubby said he’d go out and sleep in the nursery.  So he did. Dogs were quiet once he was out there. 

6am…hubby already back in the house, still no puppies. 

8am…I ran out to check on the nursery before heading out to work. Pre-labor mother having dry heaves. This was not normal. I felt concerned. 

8:15am…I asked my boss if I could quickly slip out at 10 to go home and check on the mother-to-be. He said yes. 

10:15 am…mother still hasn’t delivered, no visible contractions, still vomiting spit and bubbles. She actually seemed in good spirits though, not lethargic at all, and still very energetic. 

10:40 am…head back to work, but call vet regarding the situation. They said if nothing changed by noon, I should bring her in. 

10:45 am…back at work, asked boss if we could rearrange afternoon schedule to accommodate my taking my mother dog to the vet. They gave me the flexibility. So thankful for a job that understands the need for me to drop and run at times. 

11:45 am…back home to pick up mother, head to vet. 

12:15 pm…arrive at vet, drop off dog and sign all paperwork regarding tests, blood work, and probable c-section. Due date was Oct 29. Babies need to get out!!!  Dog finally has several visible contractions. Maybe she’ll have these babies after all!

12:30 pm…run into market to pick up last minute items for evening meeting appointment regarding stuff for my daughter’s school. 

1 pm…head back to work. 

2 pm…receive phone call from vet. They are doing an emergency c-section. I am hopeful something might still be alive inside mama, but I’m prepared for the worst. 

2:45 pm…head home and prepare food for evening meeting potluck.  Do a few chores around the house. Rest for a few moments. 

4:30 pm…receive call from vet. Mama and puppies are doing well. Puppies??  I’m amazed and delighted we have puppies. I didn’t ask about colors or genders or numbers. 

5:00 pm…leave for vet. Pick up mama dog and 3 beautiful babies. She only had 3.  They were all alive!  Apparently the biggest one was blocking the way and wouldn’t come out. Poor little mama, but she was resting peacefully in the crate and the puppies looked perfect and strong. 

5:30 pm…get home and settle mom and babies into 1/2 bath with space heater and cozy whelping bed.  Marvel at how beautiful the babies are, check genders, and feel very thankful for modern medicine that saves lives. 

Hey Everyone!

Thank you so much to all of you that have responded to my requests about letting me know if you’re ready for a December puppy!  I have directly heard from all but 3 people on the list and that is very encouraging!

I have great news for those at the bottom of the list and for those that are asking to get on the list now!  We have 11 pups and 7 confirmed families on the waiting list interested in these puppies. This leaves 4 available puppies still, pending what the last 3 families decide!

Again, as you look at this list, if your name does not have a line or a circle, please get in touch with me and let me know what your plan is. Current puppies will be ready starting mid December. 

To review, a line means that family is waiting for a future litter, a circle means that family definitely wants to consider one of these current puppies, and a red circle means a puppy has been matched to their forever family!!

Congrats to Elizabeth D and family who have been matched with the black/white male puppy from Justyne’s litter!  Because the only family ahead of her is Kristen P, and I know Kristen wants a female only, I was free to move forward with the next family!

I’d like to shout out to Stephanie because we do have golden females and I know that Kristen and Linda are looking at other colors!  Jenna, I’d love to hear from you as well, so I know how to plan with the families below you on the waiting list!

For all of you just contacting me now, I can’t give conclusive answers regarding which puppies are still available just yet, but I think it’s safe to say there will be a couple still available after I work through this current waiting list. Let me know  if you have any questions!

Justyne had 5 pups, 3 blenheim females, 1 black female, and a black/white male. They are 1 week and 5 days old today. 

These pups will be ready to go home beginning on December 15 as 8 week old puppies, and ending on January 19 as Accelerated, 13 week old puppies. Please consider your timeline as you look at this litter and know that beginning with 9 weeks of age, there is a $100/week charge for us to keep the puppies. 

BLENHEIM FEMALES

BLACK FEMALE & BLACK/WHITE MALE

If you are new to Silver Paw Cavachons, these puppies are currently only available to those on our waiting list. If you would like to get on our waiting list, please fill out the waiting list request form or send us an email at silverpawcavachons@gmail.com 

Abbey had 6 pups, 2 golden females, 2 solid sable males, a sable/white female, and a blenheim male. They are  1 week and 5 days old today.

They are growing well and everything is going smoothly!

Hi Everyone!

Puppies are all doing well and I plan to do some pictures later today. Their eyes are opened, their dew claws have been removed, and they’re just doing what new puppies do…eat, sleep, and poop!

I’ve heard back from many of you on the waiting list and I want to thank you for responding!

This post is to show you the updated list and ask again for you to let me know if you have any interest in the current puppies, or if you want to pass on these 2 current litters. 

If you look at my photo below, you will see either a line through the number, or a circle. The line means that family has let me know they want to pass on these puppies. The circle means that family has said YES!, they would love a puppy from these current 2 litters that will be ready just before Christmas. 

I am asking now to hear from the rest of you!  If your name does not have a line or a circle, please email me and let me know your plans!  Several of you are waiting for puppies that we have available (blenheim females), so if you’re ready, we can match you to your first choice puppy, but I need to know!

We receive emails daily from people asking if we have available puppies. My answer can’t be solid until I hear from all of you. People are looking now for Christmas puppies, and we have them!  But everyone on the list has first priority, so I have to hear from you all first!

Please respond ASAP!!  Puppies are growing and every day brings us a day closer to when they can go home!

Thanks again for being part of the Silver Paw family!

All puppies are settling in nicely. Now we wait and watch them grow! 

Here we go!  My last draft was from July and I’ve asked for all of you to let me know your status, and most of you did!!  Thank you!

The list is still pretty deep, but you never know the circumstances in people’s lives and how the selection process will pan out until it actually happens. It is not uncommon for someone brand new to slide in and snag a pup, ahead of everyone on the list simply because a particular pup was not the right color or gender or the timeline wasn’t quite right for those waiting. 

And this brings me to a special request regarding Christmas being around the corner. I will be asking that you choose your puppies a little sooner than normal because I have people asking me if they can get a Christmas puppy. I will need to know ASAP if you are going to pass on the current litters, so I can tell new people if we have Christmas puppies or not. 

Below is the old list, the new list, and the genders and colors of puppies that were just born. We also definitely have 2 more pregnant females, due the 25th and 29th of this month. After that, we are looking at early spring before we will have more puppies ready to go home. 

If you are on the waiting list, please email me and let me know if you have any interest in the current litters based simply on the color and gender combinations.  This is not a final decision, just a rough draft of what you’re interested in.  I’d like to hear from all of you, even if you are passing on these litters. Puppies will be ready to go home starting December 15. 

Also, if I don’t have any details near your name, please email me with color/gender preferences as well as any timeline needs you may have (for example, you have a family vacation planned and you can’t get a puppy till after a certain date).
Thanks and I’ll post pictures soon! 

After a much needed break, we have Cavachon puppies!!  If you emailed us in the past 2 1/2 months and we never responded, check your email now!  I just sent out 58 emails, responding to some that emailed me back in August. I’m terribly sorry that I basically went silent. I just needed a break and we didn’t have puppies, and I just couldn’t take any more deposits for unborn puppies. But all that has changed now that puppies are born and more are on the way!!

Right now we are only working with those on the waiting list and we will post an updated photo of the waiting list on Thursday. You can get on the waiting list by calling us. The phone number will be in your email after you reach out to us. 

I’ll post pictures of the puppies once the litters are settled in. We also have a couple more pregnant moms so this is looking to be a very busy November and December for us. 
We anticipate that some of these puppies will be Christmas presents, and if that is the case, we need to start talking now!  Please keep in mind that puppies shipping in the dead of winter can be delayed due to weather, so we will need to work closely together if you also live in a colder part of the country. 

I am very hopeful that the puppies born will be just the right colors and genders for what everyone is waiting for!  I’ll post updates soon!  Thanks again for being so patient as you wait!
