Maggie’s New Litter

Posted on June 10, 2012 by Kristy

Introducing Maggie & Ricky’s new Cavachon puppies, born June 7, 2012.

There are 6 puppies in the litter.

Black/Tan Girl – Scarlet
Black/Tan Boy – Rhett
Black Boy – Clayton
Black Boy – Hamilton
Solid Sable Boy – Charles
Solid Apricot Boy – Ashley

Maggie is resting with her babies! This is her second litter. She is a great mom!

After retiring Krystle & Vanna, Maggie is my largest female Bichon. She weighs around 17 lbs.

The puppies!! Sooo cute, dew claws already removed. I did it myself! First time and it went really well (Daryl has always done it in the past).

These puppies will be ready for new homes after August 2nd.

Here is the regal father, Ricky. He is OFA certified! He is a hefty 25 lbs!!

Retired Breeders

Posted on June 10, 2012 by Kristy

Friday I rehomed 6 of our beloved breeder dogs and officially retired them from our breeding program. I took a last photo of each dog. The new owners shared a few things.

Vanna, large Bichon female…larger than life, happy, and friendly.

Mosely, Bichon male. “He’s a hoot! He tries to guard his space some, but immediately submits if he is called on it”!

Harmony & R.B., female and male Shihtzus…like frolicking puppies!

Sebastian, male Shihtzu. I just have to say that because he was not even 2 years old, it was very difficult to let him go. He made my Shichon puppies. “He’s like Eyeore, but he’s pulling at my heart strings”!!

Molly, Tri female Cavalier…she’s adjusting well and making herself right at home.

Many of you have puppies from these wonderful parents! Know that they are all in great homes and being spoiled rotton (in a good way, of course)!!

We are almost done with our kennel reduction project. We have 6 more adults, 2 female ShihTzu, 1 female Bichon, and 3 male Bichons that are still looking for their forever homes.

Pergola

Posted on June 10, 2012 by Kristy

I learned a new word today…Pergola. We are building one, but I didn’t know what to call it!

After googling gazebo and porch ideas, I stumbled on some photos of what I had in mind and discovered it had a name!!

Our insurance company is requiring some porch railings on two of the three porches that are on the new house.

Daryl has started on one of the porches.

It’s a great start and I think enough, for now, to satisfy the insurance company. We plan to finish it in August when he has more time.

So now that I know what I’m looking for, I found some ideas that I love!

Love the fabric detail and the slatted top!

Here it is at night with little white lights.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

I stole this photo because the bottom picture shows a brown porch with white railings and a white gazebo. Because the trim on our house is white, I think the Pergola is also going to be white.

I can’t wait to have some beautiful fabric, white lights, and a sweet candle light supper!! That setting is fit for ANY guest!

Update – Lilly’s Litter

Posted on June 8, 2012 by Kristy

I love getting updates! Here is a quick update from N & family who got one of Lilly’s male pups.

Get ready for cute overload!!

“Hi Kristy,
We have had so much fun getting to know T’s sable/white male from Lilly’s April 9 litter. Here are a few pictures of him at our home. Thank you for raising him so well. He is doing wonderfully with his UgoDog.
N, T & C”

Shichons Going Home

Posted on June 6, 2012 by Kristy

Our last two male Shichon puppies have found their forever homes and will be heading there this weekend. We still have 3 females that I will picture soon.

These are our last Shichon puppies. We are rehoming their father this weekend as we plan to focus exclusively on Cavachon puppies. It seems bitter sweet to me. I do love the Shichon puppies as well, but we are better known for the Cavachon puppies, and receive many more inquiries each week for Cavachons.

I am looking forward to the simplicity of dealing with just one available breed, and being able to focus our efforts on producing happy and healthy Cavachons. For everyone with a Shichon, you are still part of the SPK family and we want to hear about your puppies and how they are doing.

Here are the boys from Chelsea’s litter. They are so handsome!!

Candid Playtime

Posted on June 6, 2012 by Kristy

We’re just hanging out in the kitchen. It seems the Blenheim puppies were more interested in the camera this evening.

Solid Sable female from the Daisychon litter. She is going home this weekend to live with Shannon in New York State!

The Rosie blenheim female.

The Princess blenheim females

The sable/white females. They were a little apprehensive about the camera.

Be sure to check the YouTube channel. There are a couple new videos of them all playing.

Special Reduced Price

Posted on June 1, 2012 by Kristy

I have a unique situation with one available puppy. In my efforts to downsize the kennel in preparation for our move, and to focus more on raising Cavachon puppies, I re-homed several ShihTzu females and both of my Maltese males.

They now live in the Seattle area and are being raised by a new friend and colleague. One of the females, Missy, had puppies a few weeks ago, and I get one pup from her litter to sell. So far, two pups have sold, and Vega, and Rex are still available.

I am offering either one of these puppies for $500, but this offer is only good for the first puppy chosen. I usually sell the Malshi puppies for $850, so this is a great deal for a family looking for a Malshi puppy. They are both males. You can see the entire litter pictured below, but only Vega and Rex are available, as the other two puppies have already found homes.

Let me know if you are interested in a Malshi puppy! First come, first serve on this offer! Enjoy

**Moments after posting, I was notified that Vega has also sold. So only REX is available for this offer**!
