Puppy Update!

So here we are! Chi babies are 6 weeks old now & mastiff babies are 3 1/2 weeks.

Chi's first -

They are sooo cute as all puppies are! They all have new families waiting for them except the brindle female. Not sure if I've said it before or not but brindle coloring in the chi's is one of the less common colors. She is still waiting for the right family.
I hate to use the word *rare* because nothing really is.. it might be less common or not the norm, but never *rare*... to me it's like saying I have *teacup* chihuahuas.. NO SUCH THING!!! A chi should be 2 - 6 lbs. You may 'once in a fluke' get an extra big one or you may sometimes get an extra small one, but they never should be 8 or 10 lbs, like the one I saw yesterday that PJ's pet store is trying to sell as purebred chi!!!
Anyway.. I rambled, sorry.
So I have found very good homes for the other 4 now. I have had the pleasure of e-mailing, talking & meeting with them all lots. The 2 light colored boy & girl are going to the same home. It will be so nice for them to stay together. The black & tan boy is going to a home where there is already another little chi buddy waiting for him :) They will have tons of fun! The black & tan girl is going to a new home where life on her own is just beginning. They will be the best of friends!
My little brindle girl is going to be very lonely soon if I can't find her a new family. It does surprise me that she is the last to go though.. maybe I am the only one to love her coloring.

The mastiffs -

They are very cute & cuddly & the biggest 3 week old pups I have ever seen! 1 is 8lbs already!! I guess I will get used to it though, as this is my first mastiff litter, it's always been little ones before.
They are all sold now & I believe I have found very wonderful homes for these big guys as well. I have been chatting, e-mailing & visiting with them too. Diesel, the biggest boy, is going to a home in the country where there is lots of kids to play with & room to run (he'll need it!! LOL). The other boy is going to live in Edmonton with a couple to be loved and enjoyed. The apricot girl (Sookie) is going to Calgary to live with a family full of kids, other animals & tons of love! The brindle girl is going to live out in the country on a farm with lots of other barn yard friends & a couple other dogs, not to mention the kids to lick & love!!

I have had a very busy time with these pups, but have LOVED every min of it! When I chose to expand our kennel with a few more dogs I knew it would be busy & crazy & stressful & so much fun!! I have only ever had 1 litter at a time before & this has been an eye opener for me. I am in it up to my eyes I think.. LOL.

I just want to say I have enjoyed raising these babies for you & look forward to keeping in touch & watching them grow with you. Thanks!!

Lana is in heat now, so I guess there is no rest for the wicked. We will be doing this all again very soon!

Let's see what next week will bring........
