Puppies will be 8 weeks old this weekend! They are growing so fast!!
Here is a video I took yesterday of them attacking an unstuffed fox. I like these toys because there is no stuffing to rip out and accidentally ingest.
If you look closely you can see the fox under the pile of puppies!
So difficult to put names on puppies. This time I took clues from the parents.
Puppies from Fern’s litter with Marco.
Girl: Cinnamon (as in cinnamon fern…a play on her mother’s name) has the darker sable and patch on her back.
Boy: Boston (also a fern!) has the paler sable just around her face.
Puppies from Tango’s litter with Tiger all have dance names!
The boy is Twist and is all white. The girl in this video is Foxy (as in the Fox Trot and is a dark sable and white).
The last video is of Cha-Cha and she is the smallest one. And Mattie for “Waltzing Matilda”.
Our puppies are 5 1/2 weeks old now. And they are LOVING life. Even better, I am loving them!
Of course I don’t get much work done around the house. Oh well!
Here is a video I took today. It’s on YouTube.
Fern and Marco’s puppies are growing fast. Sadly, one of them did not survive his first week. Unable to nurse, I tried to bottle feed him but something was wrong because he kept losing weight. Broke heart. This is the hardest part of dog breeding. Fortunately it doesn’t happen too often. And it is a birth defect that is not going to affect the other two puppies.
As you can see, they are very healthy and gaining tremendously! I can’t believe they are almost 2 weeks old. Eyes should be opening any day now. I guess it’s time to give them names!

Puppy Love!
I am so excited about this breeding. Marco (GCH Prairiwinds N Lordocs Marco Island) and Fern (CH Carneys What Grows Wild Along the River) are expecting puppies the end of February! Their colors are both gold sable parti so I’m thinking we’ll have much of the same with this litter. Fern is small and Marco is just a shade larger.
