Introducing Our Glorious Fall Litter!

Luna’s puppies are growing by leaps and bounds! Their little pink noses are beginning to turn black. Eyes should begin to open in another week or so.

And, thanks to my grandson, they now have names. Our theme is Glorious Fall.

This is Autumn. She weighs 264 grams!

This is Boo! She is the largest pup at 338 grams.

This is Nutmeg. Her name fits her coloring perfectly. She weighs 258 grams.

This is Pumpkin Spice. I love her coloring! She weighs 302 grams.

This is Shadow. He weighs 304 grams.

And this is Spooky. He weighs 264 grams.

Meet Rosie!

Breeders note: Rosie has gone to live with a Chicago family that already has two of our Havanese. I am so happy for them all!

This is Rosie! She is 10 weeks old and full of spunk and vinegar. I brought Rosie into my kennel with the hopes of showing this beautiful girl and then, after her health testing was completed and passed, breeding her. Rosie is actually out of a girl I bred, Lucy, who is my Luna’s littermate. Lucy lives with a breeder friend of mine. So I was very excited to meet her.

But Rosie has other ideas!!

She is going to be too small to be a great show girl. While I like my girls to be between 10 and 12 pounds, Rosie will likely mature at about 8-9 pounds. Beyond that she is healthy, loves to play with her room mates and do all the things 10 week old puppies do.

If you would like to learn more about Rosie, drop me a note at j7carney@gmail.com.

Getting Sooooo Big With Eyes Open Wide!

The Easter gang is doing great. Growing by leaps and hops! And their eyes are fully open.

Here are some photo updates from yesterday when they turned 2 weeks old:

 

 

Why Do Newborn Puppies Twitch?

I wanted to show you a video of our sleeping babies so you could enjoy their puppy sounds and watch them twitch!

Not only perfectly normal, but a sign of healthy puppies, twitching helps build their muscles when they are still unable to move around much. Not twitching is cause for concern. This is called “activated Sleep”. You can read about it on the Puppy Culture website. But basically it helps muscle and form the neurological connections that will allow them to develop motor coordination. Fascinating, right?
