Note from Your Breeder.

"... buying a dog is not just paying and taking the dog,
but also included wanting a relation with the breeder,
listening and keeping them updated..
Looks like this has been often forgotten..." 


I had to quote my Facebook friend today. Please, please, please, think about it!

We are breeders. We are not dealers. Not a pet store. 
We do not expect You to walk in, so we can meet You with the smile, go out of our way to make a sale and as soon door is closed behind You forget about it and move on with our lives.
Buying of the dog is about mutual respect and building of relationships.
We are here for You... but most important - we are here for our animals.
Please try to understand it.When You come to meet with Your future puppy
You come in our home and their home.
You are not coming at some sort of office with office hours from and to.
We can NOT meet with You first thing on the morning, because we just got up to take care of our animals - to walk them, to feed them to clean their cages if needed.
Sometimes we have our own "branch" at 3 PM.
Sometimes we don't sleep night of few nights, because we expecting puppies.
Sometimes we can not pick up the phone, because we cleaning kennel,
grooming dogs, or going to pick up some supply.

It is not personal, but this household made a choice to have animals and they always come FIRST.
Because if we will not take care of them, they will not take care of themselves.
Think about it... we don't have weekends.
"Going on vacation" mean
all family can not go together and those who stay will have to do double the work.
We can make whatever planes, but there are emergencies what may happen any given day
and all planes will be canceled.
Including planes to meet with our clients, or go at some impotent event or anything...
this is not personal. this is called PRIORITY.
Our dogs ARE our priority.
If You are thinking about getting puppy from us -
I hope You have the same priority.
I hope You will listen.
I hope You will follow.
I hope You will keep Your mind open.
Do not take things way to personal.
Because it is not about YOU. It is about Thee DOG
and what is better for him or for her. For THEM.

And if THIS is how You want to build Your relationships with Your breeder -
welcome to be a part of our family!..

But if You expect that You can text me any time of night or day with not that important questions and I have to text you back immediately...
It is NOT going to happen.

Remember - we have priorities. And I'm getting to may mail AFTER I took care of my puppies and dogs.
AND I do not have i-pad, i-phone, smart phone and texting attached to my cell plane.
You need to call me and talk, if You expect to get instant answer.

If You expect that You can walk in to see cute puppies, just because You happened to be at neighborhood - this is NOT going to work.
We are not a ZOO. We are not open around the clock. We actually live here.

If You expect that I will be willing to meet with You ANY day what works for You - this is wrong. You are not coming to the business place, we are family. We have birthdays. We get sick. We go places.

And if You scheduled to be here at 12, but showed up at 3, we simply may not be here, because we have other things to do. Especially, if You didn't care to call that You are running late.

If You expect that I'll throw puppy in the bag and meet with You half-way somewhere... forget about it.
It mean for me only one thing - You do not want this dog that bad to travel and pick it up from his home.
And You don't care to meet with us for conversation about what is the best for Your puppy.
 you do not care about keeping relationships.
You do not care to be a part of our pack.
You chose to stay the stranger.
I do not feel comfortable to give my puppies to strangers.

Please respect those rules and those priorities... 
OR... we are not the breeders for You.
Do not waste You time, please look somewhere else...

However, if You actually DO care what is the best for Your dog...
Realize that Your dog is not a toy - it is life-long commitment.
Dog doesn't owe You anything. Dog doesn't have to be "convenient".
It may get sick. it WILL get old. 
It is alive.

If You stay in touch.
Ask important questions.
Call me in the middle of night when it is an emergency.
I will be here for You.
because I care about my puppies
and those who love them.


                                         Sincerely,   
                                 Your Breeder.

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"....
