Time For Puppy Selection

Posted on October 10, 2023 by Kristy

Hi Everyone!

It’s time for choosing puppies from the Olivia and Mercedes litters. These are the names I currently have for choosing from the two litters. The waiting list number is after the name.

1. Todd Williams #15

2. AnneMarie Bammert #17

3. Lee Lahoud #42

4. Stacey Foraker #43

5. Debbie Hashimoto #44

6. Cindy Essex (not on main waiting list but interested in a puppy)

As you can see, there are plenty of puppies to go around! Please reach out to me and provide your best phone number. I’d like to start talking details about the puppies!

These will likely be our last puppies until next spring simply because we are not seeing enough demand for puppies to keep breeding through the winter.

It’s time to clean up the list again. There are 40+ people on my waiting list. I need to hear from you if you’d like to stay on the list. It’s ok if you’ve changed plans, but it would be really nice if you could let me know.

Here are the available puppies from Mercedes and Olivia. We also still have a blenheim male from Scarlett, a blenheim male from Emily, two black males from Mimi, and a black & white male from Mimi. All these boys are going to make amazing pets. Boy dogs fall in love with you and are often really affectionate!!

Would love to hear from anyone looking for a puppy!! KP

Mimi Call List

Posted on April 22, 2022 by Kristy

Hi Everyone!

Tomorrow (Friday, April 22) is puppy matching day for the Mimi litter. There was a lot of interest in this litter and below is my call list.

I’ll begin the calls around 2pm and continue down the list until all of the puppies are matched. There are two black/white females, two black males, one black/white male, and a golden male.

I’ve listed what each person prefers so you should have a general idea of whether or not you might actually get a pup from this litter. One thing I know, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!!

Be sure you’re available to pick up your phone as I will call, and if you don’t answer, wait about 15 minutes, send a text and an email, and then try again. If you are still unavailable, I will then move on to the next person.

I really hope things will go very smoothly tomorrow and I won’t have to skip over anyone. My goal is to match all the puppies before 6pm.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I will only be discussing the puppies you selected on the litter form. We can try to FaceTime if you have an iPhone so you can see the puppies in action.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow! KP 💕😊🐶

Mimi Litter Puppy Selection

Posted on April 17, 2022 by Kristy

Hi Everyone!

The Mimi puppies are now five weeks old and it’s time to begin our puppy selection for this litter. Here are some key detail to keep in mind. Please read through the whole blog post. If you still have questions, send an email to:

silverpawcavachons@gmail.com

If you leave a question in the comments here I may or may not see it. I prefer email communication so everything stays in the same place.

This litter was born on March 10 and will be ready for new homes sometime between May 5-19. I’m leaving a wider range because these babies are small and may need to be a little older before going home.

There are six puppies: 2 black/white girls, 2 black boys, 1 black/white boy, 1 golden boy. The black/white pup on the right with more white on the back is the boy.

These puppies are not eligible to go into cargo on a plane because they are too small. Owners will need to drive or fly in to Spokane to pick them up in person. If you fly in, we will bring the puppy to the airport.

We expect these puppies to be from 12-16 lbs as adults. This is always a guesstimate but mom is one of our smallest Bichons and the puppies also seem on the smaller side.

Plan your pickup so it is not on a Saturday. We are not open on Saturdays.

Here is the video of them on Facebook.

https://www.facebook.com/silverpawkennels/videos/703154040880933/

To be considered for one of these puppies you will need to fill out the following form. It asks for your basic contact info, including the phone number you want me to use when/if I call you, waiting list number, town where you live (if puppies are going to the same place), and finally a list of preferences.

As you fill out the form (link below) you need to select every puppy that you would be willing to take home. I will only contact you about puppies you’ve selected, so if you’re open to both genders and all colors, just select every puppy.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmG5eZTpOIARydu_HBbz0BL5QNP4Hu3mJaLSl1sbvl__ihiQ/viewform

If you are not on our waiting list you may choose any number after 150 as the form requires a waiting list number. We will consider you after talking to those who reached out and are on the waiting list. We will talk to people in waiting list order.

I plan to call people next Friday, April 22nd. I should start calling around 2pm.

Thank you for your interest in this litter. They are super cute and mom has been doing a great job raising them!!

Kristy 😊💕🐶

“Here…Let Me Chew On Your Leg While You Sleep”

Posted on September 10, 2013 by Kristy

Chelsea’s Litter, 5 weeks old…some trying to nap!

Maxwell is in the House

Posted on August 17, 2013 by Kristy

Maxwell, the last male pup from Sadie’s litter is a Phase 1 Accelerated puppy so I thought I’d show you the indoor set-up that we use.

I really like the taller Iris pen that comes with 8 panels. Cavachons are capable of escaping over a shorter pen, so we always recommend one that is closer to 3ft tall.

The Iris pen can be made long and skinny as is shown below, or it can be a nice 4ft x 4ft square.

When the pup first comes home and during the training process, it is important to organize his pen and set him up for success.

Here, Maxwell has limited space, encouraging sleeping in the right spot, chewing his bully stick in the right spot, and most importantly, going potty in the right spot. He naturally doesn’t want to soil his bed/hang out areas, so there is very little “other” space, making the litter box a natural choice. We also take him out as frequently as we can, but if we are not home, he has everything he needs in this space.

I recommend, when the puppy first comes home, to make his pen skinny like this. As he is more dependable, you can opt for a more square and spacious area. At night, you can also remove some panels, so there are only 6, eliminating almost all floor space and having only bed or potty for his choices.

Maxwell is pretty content in this puppy safe zone. It is right in our kitchen, so he is in the middle of everything that is going on in the household!!

PS, his crate is backwards only because the door was swinging out the wrong way and I didn’t take time to change it. I like to attach the door to the side of the Iris Pen, so that it stays open.

“Oreo Gets Settled”

Posted on July 29, 2013 by Kristy

It didn’t take long for the second puppy to make himself at home:). Enjoy this quick update from Oreo’s family.

Hi Kristy,

As you can see these two pups didn’t mind each others company at all. We introduced Razzel, the older dog, to Oreo, the puppy, the way you told us to. Then we put the puppy in his pen area for a little while and then let them have time together in the living room. I think they are instant buddies.

Thanks for another great puppy.

Amy
