Bobby and Beauty's kids are two weeks old!

Time is flying fast. We are getting a lot of funny pictures, but not much time to post it all. However... because we know you all are waiting for those updates, here is a mos urgent news - little guys have their eye open! And now not only we can see them, but they can see us as well...

 

Casya, our matriarch schnauzer  is laying on a new piece of doggy furniture, right beside of pen with Bobby's puppies. She is making sure about Law and Order and doesn't let youngsters to play too intensively around puppy-nestles. Something spotted behind Casya is our old Fox Terrier - Dora. Cuddling in her favorite plush blanket and doesn't care who is up to what.

 

Black boy from Beauty. Obviously.  Because he is black.

 Two black girls. Naturally also from Beauty.

  3 Black/Silver girls... not so obviously, but still from Beauty...

And guess what?... Two Black/Silver boys... and also from Beauty!

Sometimes we can not believe we have 8 puppies in her litter, but... we do!

 

And those 4 gangsters are Bobby's boys. All Black/Silver, just like their Mom.

 

... And two beautiful Black/Silver ladies... also from Bobby.

One of them will be called "Katy". Can not tell witch one yet, 

but she is very much loved by her family.

And this is all for this late time....

To be continued!

And this is so much for one day of blogging... because if you are thinking: "Taking pictures of 5 days old puppies just has to be easy."  just look on this last picture... this is how most of those photos will look like... and we just went trough a lot of those to pick up something what could be published. So you can see the faces of those puppies, not just "some unknown parts" of them out of any order!

Till later!...

Beauty and Bobby became Mothers.

Beauty and Bobby's litters might be the last two litters we will have available in 2011...

We expected their puppies right before I left for my "art trip", but... they waited, and waited... till I left.

And then they totally refused to deal with any puppies, till the day I was back home.

Then Bobby gave me that very look and I told to Irina: "OK. Today we are going to have puppies". And we did. Technically - Bobby did, we just were helping.

Of course poor Beauty felt left along and abandoned... she had no choice, but start with her puppies at the same very day, what gave us about 12 hours of laboring job.

Result - was two half-alive us (that would be Irina and myself) and bunch of much more lively puppies.

Total count of 14... Ouch!... (I see a LOT of work in our nearest future.)

For those of you who is interested - we didn't have any Salt/Pepper puppies and not going to have any till later in 2012. But we have some blacks

 and 10 or so Black/Silvers and some of them are still available. Naturally I'll try to post some updates on what is going on, but don't expect too much, I have a lot of other things to do beside of blogging... So it all will be here... SOMETIME. :-)

Aren't they lovely?!...

Everybody is very active and Beauty is terrific mother.

I seriously don't know, how she does it, but they always in the perfect order right by her side...

 And we can't even to make them stay still for the moment to take a picture.

Can You find all 8 of them on the picture?... I didn't from the first time!

"Bea" is a star!

Here we go... another show season for another debutant... (Feels like we just started with Sammy's shows, but Sammy is back home for a while already and Bea took over)

Bea is one of our youngsters and latest show project. She is bred, co-owned and shown exclusively by our friend John Constantine (kennel "Adamis") and... of course spoiled and loved by us.

Bea took everybody by surprise and managed to get her BOTH major at her very first show weekend and it basically mean that it will not take long to see this girl finished. Very proud of her. Not just beautiful, but very smart pup. Honored to have her in our house. 

Thank You, John for all you have done!

 

"Bea" (Adamis Tragic Beauty)  before her first show at grooming area...

and we already know what happened next. she won. 

Sophies' liter is 6 weeks old.

 With me being away for a few days (art-related expedition), our blogging was slow..

Sorry for this fact. But... on a good note we are going to post few apdates at once...

First one - about Sophie and her puppies. 

Sophie's puppies got abigger playground now... They like it. However it gave their Mom a message that her kids are big enough to handle things on their own and she wants back at her own cage.

 And she wants in NOW. So she went back at her personal apartment and still checking on those puppies, but doesn't spend all her time with them any more... Just visiting. And this is a last time when she allowed them to nurse (photo above). They do not miss her too much and justplaying with each other and eating well without Mom being involved into this process.

Above: Training for the perfect lap-dog. "Lap dog" is really enjoying.

 

Above: "Cat-nap"... Oh, wait... "dog nap ?!" I'm confused....

.... to be continued..... 

Sophie's litter is month old!

Time is flying fast!... Sophie's little puppies just turned to be month old few days ago...

But they such a babies yet (BIG babies!) During next few weeks they will be growing and developing rapidly, but now we still enjoy our last days of quiet time... They are not demanding too much yet, but they sure getting there!

Sophie's the only daughter. being the only girl she is very much loved by everybody.

Sophie's boys are looking just like their father, Teddy used to look when he was a pup...

Amazing to see faces of your older dogs in those little puppies!.. 

Of course Teddy was and still is one of my personal all-time-favorites.

therefore I'm very pleased to see his face in those little ones.

And even they look alike with their dad and with each other, they all are so different.

Often Irina and I hear the same question over and over again: how do you know which one is which? But when you see them every day it is not really hard to tell the difference. I can see it clearly even in those pictures. Can You?...

PS: Oh, BTW, boys are still available and little girl has a home already!

Kasya's new adventures.

Yesterday evening, when heat went down a little bit (it was only about 85F, not waaay over 90,

 as the rest of the day), we decided to sneak out with camera to spend some time on the farm with our horses, do some photoshoot of farm-land around and visit our favorite Cove Creek. As soon I grabbed bag with our cameras, our smart Kasya (who is now 9 years young and saw it all!) quickly realized that we are going for the walk and will have some adventures, what she, Kasya, couldn't miss!

She insisted to go along and we took her out not without some reasonable doubts, because she never was around horses before.

Very quietly, trying not to get attention of other dogs, we went out though the back door and off we went!

This time Kasya met up-close-and-personal with Betty, my oldest mare, dearly loved and spoiled. 

Wierd thing about it- they both were born at the same day (and the same year!).

Betty used to the dogs and didn't care, if one more was around. She clearly enjoyed her grass and apples. With all my wish to go for the ride it was very bad idea with temperature staying so high, so we just walked around and had good time, while Irina was playing with one of our cameras.

Kasya was hinging on there... literally!

Then betty finally finished her apple and decided to check out the dog. I think they both liked it. 

I sure did! I always was curious how those two will get along.

Then we went for the walk in the woods... Not the easy walk -lot of rock climbing, steams crossing etc.

now Ira got to walk Kasya and carry camera bag and I was running the show with my Canon.

Just like I say - it was a lot of climbing... and  Kassandra did just great!

All dog need in situation like that it is a very trained human to carry dog around! 

(and Irina is very well taught to do those kind of things!)

This was a part of stream right above waterfalls. pretty big stream with some pretty big rocks laying across

 of it... Girls did great job of crossing over and me on other hand... no so much. I ended up in the stream thinking ONLY about saving of camera... what I naturally did. (This is why you will see more pictures!)

Proud ladies were posing by the creek...

Of course as soon I took my eyes off them to shoot something other then them too, 

they already were up on the tree!

Then Kasya went in the field of wild-grown myrtle and clearly enjoyed herself in the shade.

All pass-ways are going home after all... So to the car we went.

Dog was happy!
