Available Pups

Shiloh and Bree puppies were born June 1. This was not a planned litter, but rather a mix up over Easter Weekend while family was visiting and dogs were let out together that shouldn't have been! Did you know there is no morning after pill for dogs...at least one that is safe? Bree has a pedigree full of conformation champions while Shiloh's is full of working dogs. Though unplanned, it is still an exceptional litter as these pups should have brains and beauty!

All puppies are ASCA and AKC registered. Tails and dew claws are done except as noted and puppies are vet checked, current on vaccinations and wormings, including heart worm and have been microchipped with Home Again.

Apollo is a nice, dark red, tri male with a full collar and a lot of showy white. He was born with a full tail which was docked. He is more timid with new things than some of his sisters, and is less likely to venture far from his comfort zone. He will come up to anyone though and loves attention. He is a relatively low energy puppy compared to all the others.

Zeus is a nice, dark red, tri male with a bib, but not a full collar. He has a lot of rich copper showing on his face and legs. He was born with a full tail which was docked. He is a nicely balanced puppy with an affectionate nature and a moderate energy level. He will be a steady, easy going dog who could do just about anything without requiring a lot of attention. He loves to play in water and will probably be a swimmer.

Athena is a nice, dark red, tri female with an almost full collar and a lot of showy white. She was born with a natural bob tail which was not docked. She is our most adventurous puppy with the ability to figure things out quickly and we often find her in unusual places (she likes to "perch"). She is only moderate in energy level, but because she is smart, she will need mental challenges. She would love an active family willing to take her new places!

Inca is a nice, black, tri female with a large bib and a lot of showy white, but not a full collar. She was born with a natural bob tail which was docked. She is very affectionate and seeks attention often. She is only moderately adventurous, likes to swim, but is better about going as far as possible to go to the bathroom than the other puppies. Her best trait is her incredibly sweet and affectionate nature with a low to moderate energy level. Inca is now living with the Bogdanovitch family in Delaware, OH.

Luna is a nice, dark red, tri female with a bib, and blaze, but no collar. She was born with a natural bob tail which was not docked. Luna shows a lot of herding drive and has a higher energy level (though not what I would call high) than the other pups. She is our studier and takes everything in before acting. She is afraid to miss anything, so she is most often found in the house with us. She loves to follow the 9 year old! She would excel at agility as she naturally runs beside us and often looks to us for clues as to where we are going next. Luna is now residing with Courtney Colburn in Bernhards Bay, NY

Maya is a nice, black, tri female with a full collar and a lot of showy white. She was born with a natural bob tail which was not docked. Maya is on the quieter side of the puppies and one of the last to venture out of familiar territory. She loves to be cuddled and gains her sense of security from us. She could be shy if isolated or if socialization does not continue. She is now residing with the Lee family in Necedah, WI.

Xena is a nice, dark red, tri female with a bib, and a lot of showy white, but not a collar. She was born with a natural bob tail which was not docked. She always comes looking for people and looks to us for her security. She is not timid, but has not been the first to try new things. She is a middle of the pack type of puppy who like Inca, is incredibly sweet and affectionate with a low to moderate energy level. Xena is now residing with the Ziegler family in Sunbury, OH.

WEEK 12 - Puppies are heading into their "leggy" stage and are beginning to look like gazelles. They love playing outside, but hate the heat and have discovered the fun of water (see Zeus). They love playing in the hose and are even getting into the river with some of them swimming now. They also love the air conditioning and can be found on the vents. Housebreaking is continuing and is only as good as we are. They will always go outside when we take them, but won't ask and if they need to go while in the house and we don't catch them, they will have an accident in the house. As long as we take them out regularly, they do well. Now that it is cooling off, they are more willing to go out on their own, so maybe we can make faster progress.

Personalities seem to be pretty much set. Apollo is still our quiet boy who doesn't venture far and comes to get attention often. Luna wants in the house to wrestle with the 9 year old and loves trying to herd him! Athena is our goddess of wisdom and is still adventurous, but seeks us out often with her little tail wagging. Xena is playful and affectionate, but does not venture far without the security of her siblings. Zeus has one of those all around, good natured, even temperaments that will make him an excellent companion. All of the puppies play hard and sleep hard right now.

The puppies have been vet checked and all are healthy, no hernias, all testicles are down etc., etc. The remaining puppies doubled their weight between their 6 week and 10 week check up with vaccinations. I suspect the remaining females will end up around 45 -50 pounds while the males will go more toward 60 pounds. Their dam is 40 and their sire 70, so they could fall anywhere in between.
