Mid-winter news and updates.

Well now... time is going quickly, things are changing rapidly...

We are in February now...

What do You know of February 14?

Hearts and candies, right?...

Not only that. This year it is only Thee Day

when our favorite Breed will be shown at

Thee Most prestigious dog show in USA -

Westminster Kennel Club show in NYC.

Our "Diva" - Lusha was supposed to be a part of this show,

but Nature had different opinion and Miss Diva came in season...

Not the best, nor easiest way to be shown.

Therefore we had to drop whole idea and getting ready

for spring performance events instead.

Barn Hunt is calling her name and we need more "legs" in Agility.

And her Grand Championship campaign has to be finalized too.

So no Westminster for Lusha... not this time.

Now... meet our newest addition - Gypsy Rose "Rosie".

Finally in our family came to live with us another Standard Schnauzer.

Last one I had 20 years ago, but always knew -

it will be another right day and...

So this day has come. Rosie is here to stay, 

thank You to our wonderful friend Shawne Imler!

Awwa's twins got an addition to their living-room.

They also got bunch of new toys and learning to eat

on their own. We found out - those two are not big on meats,

but love their dairy!...  At list for now.

 Awwa  continue to be Mrs Perfection 

and gracefully fulfilling her motherly duty.

She is to go back to show ring at fall of 2017.

Only 5 more points to go to get her Championship.

Spring is not that far and girls are starting to come in season

one after another.Hopefully we are going to have

several beautiful litters later this spring.

Currently Tutta was bred to Timmy for her last litter.

Puppies expected to be born sometime in March.

Availability - end of May/beginning of June.

It will be Black/Silver litter with no other color options.

Gina and Gigi are going to be bred in February as well.

Gina is going to have another Black/Silver litter

and Gigi is going to have Salt/Pepper litter.

Litters should be born in April, available in June.

We still discussing their breeding partners.

Later at spring Ziva will be bred to Timmy

for another litter of black and Black/Silver puppies.

Availability - first part of summer.

It will be very busy time, I can tell right now...

Perhaps it will be lesser of blogging too.

So far I have more free time I'll try to do more posts...

But then - who knows.

**********************************************

To be continued......

Current litters... Gina's and Ziva's babies.

Long time no updates... I know - me bad.

I make no excuses, just a fact that spring is very busy time.

Regardless of all, I have all intentions to post some updates this night, so here it goes...

Gina's spring litter, born April 4.

 Above - two boys. Below - two ladies.

All looking great. Of course everybody is reserved.

It is a good thing... we have enough puppies to raise for this season...

I think...

Ziva's litter, born April 22.

Boys - above and girl below. Everybody is reserved us well.

They are wonderful and I hope to post some more photos sometime when I have

that very time...

Babies play time... and some singing!

Gina's babies are learning to play and enjoying their new bigger playground area...

Mean while You may get a pick on our background-sound-producer! 

Loud enough to be heard from another room.

Enjoy!

Day @ the Nursery.

 I still do not have my computer and/or software handy...

Regardless of that life goes on and I'm posting some updates from my phone,

now when I figured out how to do that... I was ignoring using of phone for ages, just because 

always had much better way to do things...

But when You best is not available, You have to do Your best with what 

You have, right?...

Above - our precious Bea with her two week olds.

Below - Gina's bunch, what just got another upgrade to their apartment.

They absolutely in love with bigger place and all those new toys.

Perhaps some of You may recognize what those are....

Yes! We using parrot toys for our babies!..

 They enjoy those, but it only will good till our rascals will have more teeth..

Then more tough toys will have to come to play....

And we have plenty of those too!..

Good news / bad news.

All right... Let start from good news. Everything is going all right at our end of Universe.

Dogs are healthy and happy, puppies are growing. "Older models" are doing well too...

Our Cassandra (above) will be turning 13 in April and still look great and going strong.

Just groomed her today "wintry-style".. Isn't she beauty?...

BTW, she is a great-grandmother to Gina's puppy-pile what You can see below...

So what bout those bad news, You are asking?..

Those are nothing dog related, however... it will somewhat get on a way of my picture posting

and blogging capabilities.

Bad news are - my main computer quit working the other morning

and it will take indefinite amount of time to bring it back to life...

If it is even possible.

All my files are there and so all my image and video editing software...

 therefore mean while I'm learning to get my best from IOS.

Not that bad, I may say... But I want my PC back

and the sooner - the better.

So... bear with me here, I only can do so much at the moment.

After long night of delivery, we all had some rest

and now happy to introduce You to our newest family addition  -

Shazzam Of Oz just got larger

on 5 new born baby schnauzers

from Bea and Chant.

4 little princesses, their brother and their Mom

all are doing well.

 And just for fun... Compare now

New born schnauzer-baby - above

and 10 days old schnauzer-baby - below.

Below of course is a Gina's baby.

THAT big already.

Enjoy!

More pictures will be coming later

(no, I do not mean later this evening! :-)

Momma Gina with hers.... 2015.

 I finally have a chance to post some pictures of our beautiful Gina with her little 

"baby-otters", how we call them here with Irina.

Totally adorable, vigorous and pretty loud, I have to mention....

Considering the fact they sleep two feet away from my pillow...

Those 3 wiggly personalities above are all our boys.

Sorry, not so much in focus as they are moving none-stop,

as soon You take them away from their Mom.

Two "Baby-otters" below are our young ladies...

One is still available, can You believe that?!..

...And those are only pictures with otter tails You will see guys....

Enjoy!

Gina's and Bea's liters, January 2014.

This is how our living room is looking "in action".

Little gangsters are starting to play now.

Clearly visible 10 days age difference between Bea's

fat round things and Gina's litter.

At this age every few days make a big difference in behavior.

Gina's and Bea's babies. Just one more update.

 Big day today for both litters... They got their living area extended almost twice!

This is how our living room is looking right now... But do not worry! 

We still have plenty of room for people too.

 Her Majesty Bea with Hers.

 And Bea's kids without their Mom.

 ... and Gina's kids (without Gina, of course!)

 They are just too big (and too many) for me to attempt

to take a good pictures of them with their Mom.

Instead of Mom Irina gave them that beaver

(the only brown blob on the top right).

The rest of this pile are puppies. 

 Those two - little girl (above) and little boy (below)

so far still available.

Later this week I hope to have video posted too...

Gina's glorious 7 are month old!

Where did all that time go?!. With Holiday season and many other things

we lost trucking of day... And look at those little guys now - month old!

I hardly can believe it.

Just like last year's litter, they are getting more and more beautiful day by day.

Give them another two weeks and they will be totally irresistible.

I also can bet - they will be much more mischievous.

We better enjoy those few extra days of quiet times... before pups decided

they are grown up now and will demand this and that... just like human toddlers.

Surprisingly today they were cooperative even with this photoshoot, what most of pups

of this age don't appreciate much... what makes much of extra work for Ira and I.

This little guy is my personal favorite... he is very smart and already total show off.

And of course there are girls... if You like girls, boys can be show off all they want, but

You can not give up idea about those little princess...

Oh! Three Princesses!

Well, guys, hope You all enjoyed it. We sure did, even Ira had to bring up her usual:

" they look much better then Your pictures!".

I know they do, but only so much I can do with my camera...

 Maybe in a few days I'll get to video, but not now.

Somehow it is midnight already.

Pups are sleeping and I feel like I have done enough of blogging for this late time.

Happy 2014 !

a

End of 2013 wasn't that easy here, in PA. We lost our dear friend, Roxanne

and I'm almost lost my car too... it spent two weeks in garage and still wasn't fixed,

no parts are available. So... it returned home "as is", but I took it any way,

life is going on,things still need to be done.

I'm catastrophically behind on all my blogging, so today I'm just posting something, 

just to get back to routine. I'm going to share with You two our litter-boxes,

full of the most precious litter one can imagine - puppies!

Right above - Gina's little guys, about 3 weeks old. We just extended their living area,

but they are not using much of it yet... what is about to change in a few days.

Gina naturally is out of her box and scavenging around.

With those 7 guys she feel herself on a mission to be looking for food... 24/7 !

Below of course is our beautiful Bea. She still have her "Diva-like" attitude with her second litter,

just as well as year ago she had with her first puppies.

Bea's litter is about two weeks old and just today they started to have their eyes open.

Love them. Want them all. Not going to happen. Maybe just one or two...

if they are that good, as their Mom and Dad, who BTW is a visiting us here Gr Champion

from Japan and we used him before on Bea's full sister Ellein.

Elly had gorgeous litter and I wouldn't expect anything lesser from Bear.

But "Thou shell see"....

Gina's litter, new adventures.

 Little angels. Girl is left on the right.

 It was few days of snow and then warm...

Irina took little rascals out to explore new things.

Sure grass got the most attention. It looked eatable! 

Gina's litter Christmas time!

 Just few more pictures of beautiful Gina's babies

taken different days in between Christmas and New Year.

Enjoy!

Beautiful babies, aren't they?!.

Puppies and their lunch.

Often we getting the same old question: "How long should I keep my puppy's bowl with food out for him and when should I put it away?" Mmmm... we always have the same answer: Unless Your dog is picky with food (what is unusual for schnauzers), you will not have time to think - when to take that dish from Your dog.

One moment and it is all gone. Here is Gina's 5 weeks old litter working on their lunch. Only one word coming in my mind - PIRANHAS! 

Sorry, not really good video this time, but it will give you concept how quickly food disappearing... 

Gina's babies are growing (3 weeks old).

 Time is flying fast and Gina's little guys already 3 weeks old.

Therefore I'm posting some new updated pictures for everybody to enjoy.

Above - momma Gina with all 5 babies.

 Two pictures above are all boys. they all very handsome looking little guys,

this time we didn't have a chance to start making favorites with any of them.

 This is the only girl in the litter. Nice and cute, just as mommy.

After meal time (first picture) there is a nap time. And this is all they do now.

Still too little for games, but it is coming.
