Snuggle Puppy

Posted on by Kristy

EVERYBODY!!!!!

If you’re getting your puppy next week YOU HAVE TO BUY A SNUGGLE PUPPY!! This is the best thing EVER!!

Look at little Autumn. She is in a completely new place and she is totally content curled up with Biscuit her buddy. His little heartbeat is turned on and it’s like she has a littermate still.

The transition from littermates to alone can be traumatic, but it is so much less stressful if your puppy has a Snuggle Puppy. I wish I had known about them the past 20 years!!

Daryl has four of these to sell or you can order them on Amazon. The smaller ones, Snuggle Puppy Junior are $25 and the larger one is about $39. This one here is a Junior one called Biscuit and there is a golden one and a black one in this smaller size.

Please let me know if you’d like to buy one from Daryl, first come first serve. Also let me know if you’ve already ordered one. I feel very strongly about the necessity of each puppy having one when they go home and I’d like to know that everyone has one ordered or is planning to get one from Daryl.

She has been so happy and so easy. My host family is just loving her to pieces!!

Emily Litter Puppy Selection

Posted on by Kristy

Hi Everyone,

Here are two more gorgeous puppies that will be ready at the same time as the Missy litter from the last blog post. They are both blenheim females and I expect them to be from 16-25 lbs as adults.

The same travel opportunity awaits these girls if you live in Oregon or California. We’d love to offer puppy nanny service if that would be helpful to you.

Please reach out via email for more info.

Puppy Selection Missy Litter

Posted on by Kristy

Hi Everyone!

It’s time to match the Missy puppies. There are seven puppies in this litter and they will be ready for new homes the week before Christmas!

We are traveling to CA during that week and would be happy to provide puppy nanny service if needed.

They are four weeks old right now and starting to interact with each other. i expect them to range from 16-22 lbs as adults.

Please reach out via email if you’re interested. I’ll be calling my litter list after thanksgiving to talk about potential matches. Feel free to email me as well. silverpawcavachons@gmail.com

Blenheim Girls
Solid Sable Girl (already matched), Golden Girl
Black & White boy, Blenheim Boy
These are just two boys in this litter

Putting Out Some Feelers

Posted on by Kristy

Hi Everyone,

Things are winding down here for puppies, but I wanted to let everyone know what our plans are for December and potential puppy delivery.

We are available for puppy nanny service to CA, both driving and flying. This means we will be passing through Oregon and maybe even western WA on our way down. The plan would be for Daryl to drive down I-5 or (Hwy 97 through Oregon) and deliver puppies along the way, the week of December 19-22. He could also hit Hwy 99 in CA depending on where people live. Dates would need to be somewhat flexible while we sort everything out. We’ve done this before and met people along the way as needed.

I will be flying to Ontario, CA on December 15 and will have space in the cabin for up to four puppies. One space is already taken, so really room for just three more puppies. I’ll be arriving in the evening and would ask people to meet me at the airport.

There will be delivery fees for these services but I’m certain it will be cheaper than flying to us the week before Christmas (though you’re welcome to do that as our adult sons will be home holding down the fort, and available for puppy pickup at our home)!!

We have two litters that will be ready at that time, two blenheim females from Emily and seven pups from Mercedes. I will be doing a photo session with them all tomorrow so everyone can see how they are growing. They are currently four weeks old this week. There are males and females available.

This post is specifically to see if there are people that might take advantage of our travel plans, or who would like to get on the litter lists for these puppies.

We have these five people on the specific litter lists for these nine puppies. They will be matched in this order:

1. Dawana B, CA,-SS F-already matched

2. Janet R, CA

3. Jackie M, CA

4. Melissa P, FL

5. Jasmin A or Z?, who is local to our area in WA

This travel opportunity is totally wide open. We are putting out feelers to see if there is enough interest for my husband to make the drive. I’m flying no matter what.

Please reach out by emailing us at silverpawcavachons@gmail.com if you’d like to get a puppy and discuss travel.

Of course, you don’t have to live in WA, OR, or CA to get a puppy, and you’re more than welcome to come to us.

We would love to see all the puppies matched before Christmas if possible, but as I said, our sons will be home to take care of any puppies until they find their forever homes.

Can’t wait to hear from everyone!!

Try Again!

Posted on by Kristy

Hey Everyone,

A TON of you have sent me pictures for my planner. I wont be able to use them all, but wow!!

If you left a comment on the blog and a photo, they do not come through. I’ve gotten a bunch of messages that look like this.

I‘d love to get the actual photos. Maybe texting would be easier? Tell me who you are (texts just show the phone number) and who the parents are of your dog, if you remember.

Cleaning Up the Waiting List…Again

Posted on by Kristy

Last June I tried to reach out to everyone on the waiting list to see about your puppy plans. I heard back from a LOT of people and it was very helpful to know how to plan. Thank you!! It is my goal to reach out and check in every six months or so to be sure the waiting list is active and alive!

Here is the current waiting list. If your name has a “?”, it’s because I tried to reach out to you vía email or text message last June and have never heard back, or I can’t find any way to contact you. I will be removing all names with a “?” at the end of December 2022 if I do not hear from you before the year ends.

This has been a continual challenge and I’m very sorry to do this, but my waiting list looks overwhelming to new people and I need just those people that definitely want a future puppy to fill up spaces on the list.

If you’re not sure when you’ll get a puppy and you want to keep your place, that’s still ok, but we just need to talk so I can add some notes about your timeline in my records.

If your name has a “*”, it means we connected last June and you’re still actively waiting for the right pup or the right time to get a pup.

If your name has both a ? and a *, we need to talk.

We currently have 13 available puppies from the Mimi, Emily, and Missy litters (SS F is already matched). It would be fantastic to match many of them to all of you on the waiting list. I will publish the waiting list a few times a year. You can also always reach out and ask what your number is at any time.
