Flyer's New "Friend"

Flyer had a vistor this week, a lovely blue girl named Kitty,CH Coedwig's Silver Lynx.  They had a courtship and if all goes as planned the litter is due April 22.  This litter should produce some very nice blue and blacks with goofy personalities if they are anything like their parents!  Fingers crossed!

If you may be interested in a puppy from this litter please hold off on inquiring with Kim until it's been confirmed that Kitty took.

Rose City Results and Flyer's Hip X-Ray

We had a great time at the Rose City Classic in Portland this last weekend.  Mantra was entered all 4 days, Crescent was entered on Thursday and Friday, and Flyer was entered Saturday and Sunday.  Thursday and Friday Mantra was first in her 6-9 puppy class (of one) but nothing further.  Crescent showed very well and Thursday and Friday but there were some great dogs there.  No placements for him.  Saturday came and there was competition in Matra's class.  Mantra took 2nd that day.  Flyer showed great!  He ended up receiving WD and BOW.  WB was the puppy who beat Mantra and went on to be awarded BOS.  On Sunday Flyer showed well again but it wasn't his day.  He took second in his class.  Mantra was awarded first in her class and went on to take RWB!  So proud of my puppy!

This puts Flyer at 13 points (I think) with one major.  Just one more major and he will be finished!

Here is the cell phone version of his win photo from Saturday.

I also had a photo of Mantra done since this is her biggest win, or near win, yet and I have no show photos of her.

Today we took Flyer in and had his x-rays done for his PennHip rating.  We will have the results in 2-4 weeks.  Unfortuntally the PennHip vet doesn't have digital X-Rays but I did take a photo of the one view with my cell phone.  Any thoughts?

Mantra 16 5/7 weeks

Mantra got a bath this evening and her first blow dry. I decided I'd try to get a stacked picture of her with my husbands help.  Her legs could be set up better but it gives an idea on how she is growing up.

Next weekend we will be off to the Mensona show in Santa Rosa which Flyer and Crescent are entered.  Mantra will be doing puppy matches both Saturday and Sunday as well.  Should be a lot fun seeing people we know and meeting new ones.

100th Post - 9 week old pics and pup-dates

I've been a blogging slacker!  This last weekend was our puppy party.  We had a lot of fun and there where lots of puppy snuggles to be had.  We also took advantage of all the help available to get some stacked pictures of the puppies.  They are out of their usual order, starting with the girls

Day 52 - New Game

The Minis have created a new game during their turn out time in the kitchen.  I think it would be best called, Harass the Yorkie.  They love to bark at Bitta (the yorkie) on the other side of the bench we use to keep them in the kitchen and from going into living room.  It's been fun for them, but I don't think Bitta will agree. ;)




For size and growth comparison here is a video of them just a month and 3 days ago when they were still basket babies.  My how fast they grow....

Day 49 - Seven Week Headshots

Today everyone got weighed, nails trimmed and their first shot.  Weights range 6lb 11oz and 7lbs 13oz.  It's hard to imagine that in just 2 weeks the majority of the puppies will be off to their new homes.  Here are the pictures taken today.
