Because Cyndie Asked Me To

The process of choosing a puppy is quite involved, and often involves more than one family!  Cyndie is waiting to see which puppy Connie chooses, because she’s getting “the other one”.  There is no hurry, because both families have chosen for their pup to join our Accelerated Puppy program once they turn 8 weeks old. 

That means Tri Guy and Choco Boy will be around here for a while, learning their manners, learning how to potty on the UGODOG, learning how to walk on a leash, eventually sleeping in their crates, and getting neutered if they’re here long enough. 

We’re really going to get to know these two puppies and we’re excited that they will be joining our family.  Raising an Accelerated Puppy means that they become part of our family, going places with us, getting groomed regularly, going on daily walks, sleeping in our house, and hanging out on our furniture.  Yep, we’re going to know Tri Guy and Choco Boy REALLY WELL!!

We sure won’t mind having them around!

“I love you.”

“I love you too”

“You’re my best friend.”

“You’re my best friend too.”

Can they get any cuter?

 

20110818-085247.jpg

“Hang on, we’ll be cute in a minute.  What’s that over there…”

 

20110818-085256.jpg

“Aww, nothin’.”

“Ok, I’m cute again.”

 

20110818-085304.jpg

“This is my pal, Choco Boy.”

 

20110818-085312.jpg

“Are we almost done?”

 

20110818-085322.jpg

“Hurry up and take the picture.  We’re sitting perfectly and this takes too much energy!”

“Actually, I’m bored.”

 

20110818-085337.jpg

“What’s this?”

 

20110818-085347.jpg

” This is WAY MORE FUN now!!”

 

20110818-085356.jpg

“Pick Me!!”

 

20110818-085428.jpg

“No, Pick Me!!!!”

 

 

 

Because Connie Asked Me To

It is so much fun to watch the puppies grow into adorable balls of fluff!  As their hair takes on more personality, so does each puppy, and seeing them interact together, set boundaries with each other, and generally just play until they drop with exhaustion….well, that is the fun part of raising puppies!!

Connie is trying to decide between these two puppies, and she asked me for some more pictures.  So here they are.  I love working with buyers when the puppies are young.  There is so much anticipation and wondering what they’re going to look like as adults.  And each puppy is so different.  It’s hard to decide!!

“Tri Guy” and “Hunk o’ Chocolate” (aka Choco Boy) hung out on the barn porch yesterday, and boy did they have fun!

20110818-084110.jpg

As expected, Tri Guy, since after all, he is almost 4 weeks older, took the lead, but this time Hunk o’ Chocolate wasn’t far behind him!

 

20110818-084118.jpg

Tri Guy is petit in how he is built.  He is a willowy pup, feels lightweight in comparison to Choco Boy.  Tri Guy also has long legs, or at least they are longer than Choco’s legs.

 

20110818-084125.jpg

Choco Boy continues to amaze me with his unique coat coloring.  His coat is thick, wavy, and full of color everywhere!

 

20110818-084132.jpg

He is so stinkin’ cute, I can’t stand it!

 

20110818-084139.jpg

He looks good from every angle!

 

20110818-084146.jpg

But Tri Guy is just as cute.  He is a vibrant Tri color Cavachon, and those don’t come around too often.  He needs a little haircut around his eyes.  I think I’ll do that today.

 

20110818-084153.jpg

He’s just pretending to be tired here.  The fun had only just begun!

 

20110818-084205.jpg

They were like brothers playing, Tri Guy showing Choco Boy the ropes.  Choco Boy getting messy along the way!

 

20110818-084218.jpg

A spontaneous smooch is always welcome with puppies.  They do stuff like that.

 

20110818-084224.jpg

“Look how cute I am with that piece of straw on my nose!”

 

20110818-084230.jpg

“Look at me, I can pull off a regal look.  Just watch me.”

 

20110818-084241.jpg

See how short Choco Boy’s legs are?

 

20110818-084259.jpg

“What is that thing you’re holding?  I need to sniff it!”

 

20110818-084252.jpg

Tri Guy is a little taller than Choco Boy, but I’m sure weighs less.  It’s like the difference between a ballerina and a wrestler.

 

20110818-084305.jpg

“Let’s sit by the watering can and pretend we’re tired.”

 

20110818-084312.jpg

“Naaa, I’d rather chew on her finger.”

 

20110818-084338.jpg

“Ok then.  I’ll see what this red thing tastes like.”

 

20110818-084345.jpg

“Are we done yet??”

(Tri Guy comes from Annie & Skippy.  Choco Boy comes from Daisychon & Pujo)

 

Krystle’s Black Female Has A Home

I am so happy that this little black girlie has found a forever home! She’s not ready to go home quite yet, but when she does, I know she will be well loved!

A little over a year ago, a family came to me wanting to get a pup into Hawaii! Since Hawaii has VERY strict rules about dogs, this ventured required quite a time committment, but B was willing to keep the pup, train it, get all the proper shots done here on the mainland, and finally, after around 8-9 months, the puppy was able to go home to B’s mother in Hawaii. So we have a wonderful little Cavachon in Hawaii, as a result of all B’s efforts!

Well, sending the pup off, while that was the original plan and purpose, left a hole in B’s home, so she’s decided that another pup, one for her and her family to keep, is in order! Even though they’re in the middle of moving, they’ve decided that Krystle’s black female is the pup for them, so sometime in September, this little treasure will be going home to a family that has already raised one Cavachon successfully! I’m so happy!

Black dogs are always very difficult to photograph. They either look pale and washed out, or they are so dark you can’t see their eyes. I haven’t learned the secrets and tricks of photographing a black dog yet, so when I get a picture, where you can actually see the puppy’s eyes, it’s a keeper, even if my foot is in it.

20110815-035858.jpg

This puppy is full of adventure! She didn’t mind meeting Princess at all, and just let her sniff and sniff all she wanted!

20110815-035906.jpg

I decided to put her in the flower pot. I thought the purple flowers might be a nice contrast to her black coat!

20110815-035913.jpg

I guess it worked, sort of!

I’m happy to be working with B again, and know this puppy is going to a wonderful home!!

Krystle’s Black Female Cavachon

Krystle’s pup is just one day younger than Chocolate Boy! I can’t wait to put them together when they’re both weaned. They will teach each other how to have litter mates

This little girl is going to be on the larger side between 18-22 lbs. She is an outgoing puppy already, wagging her tail energetically whenever she sees any of us.

She is very sweet and loving as well and likes to be held. As of this posting, she is available for deposit!

20110807-010023.jpg

Do not base the “cuteness” factor on this photo.  Black puppies are extremely difficult to photograph because they either look washed out, or you can’t see their eyes because they look so dark. 

This is an absolutely darling little girl with a personality to match!  If you are looking for a larger female pup, and a winning personality, and you don’t mind a black dog, this is the puppy for you!  She will not disappoint!
