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...

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

End of October, we and our dogs still enjoying last warm days and 

taking advantage of any opportunity to get out there...

It is a special  treat for us, as majority of time is taken but

those precious puppies... Of course babies are priority,

 but adult dogs need their time too...

So few days ago, we just grabbed the group of girls

and went to visit our friends at Cove Creek.

Everybody had a good time - humans and dogs,

and we returned with bunch of good photos, what I'm going to share with You now...

Thank You to our friends Kent and Karen Durr

Witches at the farm!.. And more...

 Witches at the farm!... Not really. Bunch of dogs at the farm

and Halloween photoshoot with friends, this is what was going on the other day.

Before we put those costumes on, we did some levitation exercises!...

Kaya was practicing her famous "Stink-eye" stunt.

Chant was beside himself from the fact -

he was thee only boy in a crowd!

And so we started...

 Sophy was starring as a Witch!

Ziva got greedy and had to try more then one costume!

 Can not help it, but Lusha was an Angel!... Again!...

And smiling one too!

Lastly Chant got some wings of darkness...

I guess now we are ready for Halloween!...

Or...we need to get some more costumes!

Ziva's puppies, 5 weeks old. 2014

Ziva's puppies, regardless of their young age, acting very adventitious

in a new room where we brought them to play.

Nothing is looking scary or confusing, they just having good time here.

Of course we have a "Queen" right on spot!

(What reminds me a lot her Grandmother Kissy!)

And this little one is not pretending on Royal position, just likes to play.

And them two just got their pray and now dragging it to their Den.

They exploring new toys just the same way human toddlers do!

And just like human toddlers some get greedy and what to have it all.

This little girl was trying really hard to get her possession this plush toy and

a "fuzzy ball' at the same time. She was dropping one and grabbing another, 

but carrying both in "her corner". It was very successful try.

What a character!
