Posy, an F1b solid sable Cavachon went home last Sunday. She went from country dog to city dog and it sounds like things are going well. Here is an email from her new owner, plus a photo and video. Enjoy!

Hi Kristy,

Great to meet you in person, and thank you so much for Posy!

We just went to the vet this morning, and all looks well. She’s adapting to the city really well… she doesn’t seemed bothered or scared by all the cars and other loud noises. She’s been really great with other people and dogs (albeit a bit shy with the other dogs at first). She’s a natural on the leash, as she loves to stay close by to me. We have some work to do on training her to enjoy her alone time, as she can get upset if I leave her sight for too long. Potty has been a bit of a challenge, as I don’t have any obvious grass anywhere near my apartment, and she doesn’t seem naturally predisposed to want to go on the makeshift dirty / weedy areas near my place. I’m rewarding her good potties outside, so hopefully she’ll get the hang of it!

Here’s a link to a video of her playing fetch. She picked it up immediately!

Best,

These are a few pictures of our Sadie. She is a Rocky and Roxy pup from April 2015.

We adore her!!

Amy

That face!

Those eyes!

You can still see the black on her ears. She lightened up a lot but she’s still soooo pretty!!

Here is an update from Parker’s family! Love seeing how the puppies grow!

Hi Kristy! Here is Parker after his grooming at 6 mos old. We adore him. He is 15.4 lbs. He has faded quite a bit, still has some black on his ears. Best, Colleen & Joe

He’s almost giving us the side eye after his haircut!!

What a handsome boy!!

Hi Everyone!

Here is where everything stands right now. This is the current waiting list and all the interest so far with the puppies. Let me know if you’d like to add your name next to any puppies.

Sadie & Finn DOB 6-13-18, ready August 15-21, Accelerated Sept. 19.

Annie & Snoopy DOB 6-20-18, ready Aug. 22-288, Accelerated Sept. 26.

We can take names next to each puppy any time. It doesn’t matter where you are on the list. Please reach out to us if you see a puppy you like.

When a litter is 5 weeks old, I will begin to contact people. As an example, let’s look at the Tri female from Annie’s litter. There are 5 people that have shown an interest in this puppy. If the litter was 5 weeks old, I’d first put the names in waiting list order. It would look like this: 1. Lisa & Mac 2. Elaine M. 3. Lynda C. 4. Melina M. 5. Deb B. I would then contact Lisa & Mac and let them know they are first in line for this puppy. If they say yes, I’m done and I let everyone know they have selected the pup. If they pass, I contact Elaine and see what she wants to do, etc. on down the line.

I don’t have time to email or call every single person on the entire list for every single puppy so that is why I take names of anyone interested and go from there. I also need each of you to reach out to me as I cannot remember all the details of what everyone wants to automatically match you to a type of puppy you’ve described.

I hope this makes the waiting list process a little more clear. This is the most efficient way I’ve found to match puppies and it works the best so far.

Let me know if you have questions but please send your communication via email at silverpawcavachons@gmail.com.

Thanks again for being part of the Silver Paw family!

Kristy

We are always ready to take names from those on the waiting list. Let us know if you are interested in a particular puppy. We will NOT be contacting you individually to see if you’re interested. We WILL contact you individually after your name is next to a puppy on our list.

Looking forward to hearing from each of you, even if you’re wanting to pass on these current puppies.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone!

Happy summer to all of you and hopefully our weather will get the memo soon. We had to build a fire in our wood stove yesterday because it’s just plain cold here still!!

In spite of the chill, things are moving forward nicely and here is a quick update of our waiting list and expected puppies.

These are the deposits we have in hand and I believe there are one or two more that are probably on the way. If you don’t see your name and you have sent your deposit, kindly check in with us so I can make sure I haven’t misplaced it or failed to write it down.

We currently have the Paisley litter, 2 pups, a blenheim female and a golden/red male.

She is slightly bigger than him.

They both have the most perfect little faces and markings.

I am ready to take names for these two pups. If you have any interest at all, please let me know so I can put your name down. At 5 weeks I will contact those names in waiting list order to match the puppies.

As for other litters, Annie, one of our largest Bichons is pregnant and looking very round. Sadie is also pregnant, big as a barn, and due Thursday. She was bred to Charlie, a black/tan Cavachon, so her puppies will be F1b, which simply means their coats will be a little curlier than a typical Cavachon. It’s not much, but enough that I’ve fallen in love with the look and will probably do several litters a year with Charlie and Scarlett being bred to Bichons.

We also have our eye on one more mom in the kennel but she has not been moved to the nursery yet.

The two last Scarlett pups will be going home during June and Toby has a family coming to look at him this weekend.

In other farm news we are picking strawberries from the garden and enjoying them every morning! We can’t wait for all the other berries and the tomatoes to get ripe. Our garden is small this year because I need to clean out the barn. Boxes from 2007 have yet to be unpacked. Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone!

Hi Everyone,

I’m happy to announce the birth of Paisley & Rusty’s Puppies, born this morning. It’s just a very small litter but the pups are doing great!

I also want to let everyone know about two confirmed pregnancies with expected puppies later this month. Sadie and Annie are with round bellies so our little “break” will be ended soon.

Stay tuned for more details and hopefully litter pages for each of these litters.

Hey Everyone!

All of our puppies have been matched to their forever homes and it looks like we may have some down time in June. We have just 11 puppies on the property and they are beginning to go home. By the end of the month we may have 2 accelerated puppies and as far as I can tell, nothing else will be born until at least June.

I’ve brought Paisley into the nursery and I know that Sadie was bred in April. Based on past year cycles, I expect that we will have pups born in late June or early July, and ready for homes in late August and early September.

I do know we will have another full round sometime later this summer so I thank everyone for their patience.

Please know that I will still work with the order of the waiting list but I will not call out to you individually with each litter. When puppies are born, I’ll announce it here and then if you have any interest in ANY puppy, I will pencil in your name next to each puppy. When they are 5 weeks old I’ll put those names in waiting list order next to each puppy and we will begin matching puppies to their forever families.

If your name is not next to a puppy and you decide you want a particular puppy, your name will he added but not ahead of others. This is why it’s so important to make sure your name is near ANY puppy you have interest in when they are very young.

It has been raining hard here so haven’t been able to get outside to do videos, but this week looks to be sunny so I will try to post what I can.

If you are getting a Scarlett or Roxy pup let’s confirm travel dates and times. I have a few (maybe 4) families on my calendar out of 11 puppies, and they all turn 8 weeks old this week. Please send me an email or give me a call so we can chat!

This photo is a little random and late, but a happy Mother’s Day to all of my puppy families. These three made me a mother and for many years they were my official puppy handlers. Now, I have some younger helpers, but my oldest son on the left manages the main kennel work each day and my daughter steps in and covers for me when I take a vacation!

Hey everyone,

There are new videos of both Scarlett and Roxy’s pups on our FB page. We also have an updated list of who is in line for each puppy.

If you have interest in any of the puppies let me know! The lists below are set for the selection order but you’re welcome to get your name added to any of the puppies. As of now, there is definitely a blenheim female from the Scarlett litter available and I should know by tonight which one that will be.

Scarlett selection list. Carol will be taking just 1 blenheim female so there is one still available to someone!

Roxy selection list.

Also, here is how the selection process ended for the Paige pups.

I also took head shots of the Roxy pups. Enjoy!!

Looking forward to hearing from all of you on these selection lists. Please give me a ring!

I’ve just uploaded 3 videos of the Paige puppies on Facebook and I want to post an update for everyone that has shown interest in this litter. I’m going to list each puppy and then the names, in waiting list order, of everyone interested in that pup. If your name is first or second on any of the Paige pups, we need to talk on the phone ASAP.

As I talk with people I will post updated photos of this list on the Paige & Colby litter page (which I will make live this evening). I’m hoping one of my early videos shows Paige in it and I’ll see if I can get a photo of Colby. I’ll also list their weights, but for now Paige was 15 lbs lactating (I weighed her right after she delivered) and Colby is 22 lbs. I expect these pups to be 16-22 lbs as adults.

Also, some of you have your names here in this litter and also on the other litters. You’ll need to let me know if you want to pass on the Paige pups and wait for a Scarlett or Roxy pup, or wait for new litters to be born. It’s time for decisions!

Here is a quick look at the other litters so you can see what your chances are for those pups.

And also the order of the waiting list.
