So, how fast does a puppy grow?
Here is a good example. Standard size laundry basket and 8 pups
1 day old
One week old
2 1/2 weeks old
And of course by next week, they won't all fit in one, much less STAY in it!!
2 1/2 weeks.
The pups have graduated out of the whelping box they were learning to fall out of.
All that room, and they still pile up in one corner, but you can't blame them, everyone wants the soft spot under the heat lamp.
Poor Jess, such a dutiful mother.
Learning to walk and starting to look like puppies.
All our pups from this litter have homes.
Please contact me for more information.
and to reserve placement on my waiting list.

Hi Patti,
Goby is doing great! She has adjusted well to her new home and Matt and I love having her around. I really started missing being around her when I had to work most of the day on Wednesday. The potty training is coming along great as well as other tricks. Matt enjoys getting out the treats a few times a day and seeing what she'll remember from the last session. Thankfully, her favorite toy is her frisbee, but we still have to teach her the right way to play with it, she just wants to pick it up and toss it around the living room right now.
She has been meeting a few new people and you were right about her being a bit scared at the moment. She seems to be frightened by many things when we take her outside, especially at night.
Well, she is an amazing little puppy and we love her very much. I know you must miss her a bunch, so we'll send you more updates with lots more pictures!!!
Leah
Goby is now in Kansas with Matt and Leah.
HEY PATTI WELL TOMMORROW IS THE BIG DAY I AM SO EXCITED MY MOTHER IS AS WELL WE JUST CANT WAIT I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING AND I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED AS WELL AS MY MOM WITH PICTURES AND PLENTY OF HAPPINESS!!!!!
THANK YOU AGAIN
LOL
AMANDA
Maud had an safe and uneventful flight to Boise Idaho, and Robin and Amanda are very happy to finally meet their sweet little pup!!
Rio is at home with Amy also near Chicago.
Hi Patti!
We arrived safely. He got a little car/home sick on the way and threw up a couple of times, but nothing that we couldn't clean. He's doing great over here though. Just a couple accidents but fortunately in easy to clean places. TONS of energy. We walked around the block a couple of times. Every few steps he would look at me to see if I was still by his side or changing directions. He's already showing that willing to please attitude! I let him sleep in my bed last night.....hehehe.....Not a peep though. He only got up to turn a couple of times. I fed him early this morning. The cats aren't taking too kindly to him, but are very curious. The brat of the bunch is always around inching closer and closer. When they start hissing Rio sits in my lap and feels more confident. He's got the cutest little wobbly body, and I can tell he's going to grow up to be very handsome! Tell the family he's doing great and thanks for all of your help to raise a great little boy!
Amy
Matt and Leah love Goby so much they drove all the way back up from Kansas to adopt Cruz, when he became available!!
now they have two Border Collies to keep them very busy!!
Boys, Boys, Boys!!
I could never raise such loving pups without the help of my chief puppy taimer!!
Goby and Curz (now Ludo) exploring together near their new home in Kansas
I'm sure Leah and Matt will keep busy with this pair of adventurous puppies!!
Rio looking very handsome at
5 months old.
He loves his human Amy and is doing great in his obedience class.
