I’m checking in again with my waiting list. Since all of these puppies will be ready just before Christmas, and I have new people emailing me daily about getting a “Christmas Puppy”, I need to check in again regarding everyone’s timeline.

I know I’ve asked this before, but the list is so long now, it is easier for me if everyone will simply send me a quick note to let me know where you stand and what your timeline looks like.

Puppies from the current litters are ready the week before Christmas if they go home at 8 weeks old, and around late January for an Accelerated Puppy.

Please drop me a quick note and let me know if you are interested in pups within this timeline. We will not hold puppies without additional charges, so it’s best if they go home at either 8 weeks old or 13 weeks old. Anything between those ages will be charged $100/week for us to keep them starting the day they turn 9 weeks old.

What I’d like to accomplish from this is to be able to tell the new people if there is a chance for a Christmas puppy, or if I already have 17 people that are currently on the waiting list that are interested in the current litters. Since the waiting list is well over 17 people, it’s possible they will all be matched.

But as with Sadie’s litter, many people on the waiting list “passed” on her pups, which resulted in “new” people ultimately adopting those puppies. The puppy matching process is almost always a bit complex, but I do my best to keep it as simple as possible.

So, please let me know:

1. If you want to pass on the current litters because you need to wait till spring or later.

2. You want to pass because we don’t have the color/gender that you want.

3. You definitely want to be considered for a pup out of the current litters.

4. The timeline is perfect for your schedule to either get an 8 week old puppy, or an Accelerated Puppy.

5. Anything else I need to know!

If I don’t hear from you by Sunday evening, I will be moving down the waiting list and assuming you are not yet ready for a puppy (I would prefer you just let me know you are not yet ready).

Please email me at silverpawcavachons@gmail.com.

Please DO NOT leave a comment in the thread on this. Managing my email is all I can keep up with and I will not respond to thread comments.

Thanks!

All of our October litters have been born!

On Saturday afternoon, Roxy gave birth to 4 beautiful babies. She had a Black F, Blenheim M, Sable/White M, & Black M.

Then, late Monday night Jazzy began to deliver her babies. She gave birth to 5 sable/white females, but continued to have contractions. First thing Tuesday morning, I took her to the vet because I was sure we had a stuck puppy. They did a C-Section and removed an unusually large puppy (the vet said it was twice the size of the other pups in the litter), that indeed was stuck in the birth canal. We are sad to lose the male, but happy that mother and babies are doing well in spite of the complication.

Roxy has 5 sable/white females. The blenheim in this photo is one of Abbey’s pups, that I have since given back to Abbey. While I wanted to lessen Abbeys load, Jazzy just curls into a tight ball, making it hard for an extra puppy to find his place among all those girls. So he’s back with his birth family.

And if the day wasn’t already full of puppy activity, Abbey gave birth, with no complications, to EIGHT gorgeous puppies, 2 of each color, sometime during the day while I was at work! We have 2 Blenheim M, 2 Sable/White F, and one male & female each of the Golden pups and the Solid Sable pups.

All 17 pups are doing well, and they will all be ready just before Christmas, if they will go home at 8 weeks old. Accelerated puppies from these litters will be going home in late January!

I think many of you on the waiting list will find your match in these litters because we have lots of colors and both male and female pups! Please do let me know if you have your eye on any specific puppy!! I also want to know if you prefer to wait for a spring litter and you want to pass on all these babies.

We will be very busy caring for these three litters, plus continuing to take care of the older puppies from the previous litters that we are still training. I will try to update with photos, but basic daily care will be first in our list of priorities! Thanks for understanding.

Roxy and Rocky had their babies!

Three pups are males, sable/white, blenheim, and black, and one of the solid black pups is a female. For those on the waiting list, these babies will be 8 weeks old on December 13th, and 13 weeks old on January 17th.

If you have any interest in these puppies, please send me a note via email. Also, if you KNOW you want to pass on this litter, due to timing, color, or gender, let me know that as well!

The fun begins!!

Hi Kristy!

Tim

What a doll face this little sable & white girlie is!! She took off this morning at 8:30am, bound for San Francisco, but due to weather (fog), had to be re-routed to San Jose instead.

What a joy to work with a family that did not get upset and simply made the adjustment midstream to pick up their puppy at a different airport!

She melted everyones’ hearts that met her!!

It is an early morning here at Silver Paw! The first puppy has been dropped off at the airport. He whined a little in his crate, but he seemed to wag his tail at all the airport workers. He is heading to Aspen Colorado, and he is a surprise for the children in the family!! I can hardly wait to see the pictures and hear the story!

Two puppies are going home tomorrow! Today they went to the vet to get their health certificates. Both puppies checked out just fine.

After seeing the vet, the puppies had fun after school with the children. They both loved all the attention. They hung like a little ragdoll’s in everybody’s arms. Their little tails did not stop wagging.

Here are a few photos.

Ok, we’ve matched all of Jesse’s litter and 4 puppies from Sadie’s litter. There is still one black/white male puppy available. He is available to anyone now who would like more info.

Please send an email to inquire about him. Do not leave a comment in this post. We can be reached at silverpawcavachons@gmail.com.

Here are the 2 girl puppies from Sadie’s litter.

I believe Kara is looking closely at this puppy.

Here is the other female. We have a couple families looking at her and in the following order. Bob & Roni.

Once I’ve spoken to all of the families looking at both the boys and girls, I will announce how the puppies have been selected and if there are any still available.

Thanks to everyone for your patience. Please keep in mind that puppies are ready to go home now, or they will be enrolled in our Accelerated Puppy program and they will go home on November 14th.

Here are some quick photos of the three male puppies from Sadie’s litter.

The first group of photos is the puppy that I believe Gail has selected. He has a lot of black and he has a full white collar that goes around to both front legs.

Here is the next boy. He is almost solid black on one side of his body, and both black & white on the other side.

And finally, here is the final male pup. He has a nice mix of black/white down his whole back and on both sides of his body.

I am currently working with Gail, Bob, and Tim for puppy selection with these three male puppies.
