Gypsy's Pups

2012-01-16T11:22:00.000-08:00

I am pleased to announce Gypsy's first litter - four beautiful tri-color puppies! I am also pleased to announce they are are all already spoken for. Although Gypsy will now get a year's vacation, we will be breeding another one of our girls very soon. This photo shows the four pups (two boys and two girls) at about four days old; however, they have more than doubled their weight since this photo was taken.

January 5th thru the 8th, our little sisters, Sarah and Pixie, were in the AKC show at Palm Springs, and both continue to show well. Sarah won Winner's Bitch (a four point major) one of the days and is just a few points shy of becoming an AKC Champion. And Pixie, who is already an AKC Champion, won Best of Opposite three out of four days. So Pixie has won all of the requirements and almost all of the points needed to become a Mayfair Grand Champion.

GREAT NEWS! On Jan. 2, Robbie took Marlee (15 yrs. old) and Hope (13 yrs. old) to Dr. M. Lesser for their annual heart check-up, and the results are great. Marlee, at 15, is still heart clear. Hope, at 13, has a moderate grade three murmur which is unchanged from last year.

Great News! Our very sweet little Pixie has won nearly everything we've entered her in over the past few months. She's now a national AKC Champion, AND she's more than half way to becoming an AKC Grand Champion. Congrats Pixie.

Make your litter mate, Sarah, jealous

Our First AKC Grand Champion

2011-10-04T12:19:00.001-07:00

I am so pleased to announce Mayfair Cavaliers' first Grand Champion: GCH Mayfair Isadora. From start to finish, it took Isadora only a few months. Many of you might remember her from her puppy pictures published here back in April of this year:

Then there was her beauty photo (See below):

In closing (for today), I've been asked for a better photo of Ch. Mayfair Isadora. So, here she is:

... and be forewarned, our Cavaliers are kissers. When our friend, Joyce, visited, she got a little too close and was adequately rewarded.

The second little boy is every bit as gorgeous as the first. In fact, this litter has been the gentlest and smartest we've ever bred. In addition to using the doggy door at six weeks, they line up and start watching the kitchen at 8 a.m., 12 noon. and 5 p.m. - all mealtimes. How do they know what time it is? And when they play, there is rarely any yelping and never any loss of temper or out-and-out fighting.

My how time flies - the pups are nearing ten weeks old. I wish we were going to have more time with them. They've been the easiest litter ever. They've been going in and out through the doggy door since they were six weeks old. Now they have a strong preference for going potty outside - which means they are about 95% house-trained at ten weeks old!

Well, it's time you had a look at Isadorable's puppies. They're as gorgeous as she is.

Tory's pups

Before we bid fond farewell to the last of Tory's pups, I want to share one memory that really stands out from the hundreds left by that fabulous litter. Gail and Bob were here to visit their pup one last time before they took her to her new home. Looking for a little puppy-love, Gail put her nose up to her pup for a kiss and found that their little girl took her teething really seriously.

Introducing Isadora's Puppies

2011-04-07T11:41:00.000-07:00

Well, this weekend the last of Tory's pups will be going to their new homes. But it's not as sad as it might be otherwise. Since we offer to take care of our puppies if their folks go away and can't take them along, we see most of them from time to time.

NOW, we have some very exciting news. We are expecting a new litter within the next week or so. Ch. Mayfair Isadora, who answers only to "Isadorable" is going to have several pups. Since she was bred to a tricolor named Khatibi Eamon High (Murray), Isadorable can have blenheim as well as tricolor pups. As you can see, Izzy (as we sometimes call her behind her back) is a lovely little girl, and Murry is a handsome little dude, so we expect some very lovely puppies. We'll keep you posted. As always, we invite you to visit the puppies whenever you like.

As of yesterday, Tory's puppies are nine weeks old. They are one of the loveliest litters we've ever bred. Four of the five have been placed. But we still have a very nice little boy. He's the one on the far left.

Tory's puppies are doing very well. Here are a couple of photos (click photo to enlarge) of the whole gang at three days old. The first includes a precocious little boy who has already mastered the ol' eating-on-your-back trick. Now we know it's too soon for collars, but the reason for the colored rick rack visible in the second photo is so we can tell them apart at a glance. They enjoyed a wellness visit to the vet (Dr. Brad Patterson) yesterday, and they were pronounced strong and healthy. As of today, the puppies are six days old, and they are all 14 to 15 ozs.

We're really pleased to announce the natural birth of Tory's (Mayfair Torrington's) first litter of puppies on 1/14/11 at 7:05, 8:25, 9:50, 10:25 AM, and 12:32 PM. Their weights ranged from 8.1 to 9.5 ozs., and they're three boys and two girls - all Blenheim. The photo at right is of the first puppy. It's a boy, and he is only about 60 seconds old. Wow.

Aubrey's Pups

2011-01-17T16:26:00.000-08:00

Well, I'm really behind in my postings. The last of Aubrey's lovely pups went to its new home in early November 2010. That's the BAD news. The GOOD news is that we still get to see them either for social visits or for longer stays while their new families are away and couldn't take their newest family member with them.

In case you don't know, we make an offer to our puppy buyers: If you can't take your new puppy with you, leave him with us rather than leaving her with a boarding facility. For the puppy, it's like visiting family; he is familiar with our home and all of our residents; she has a great big yard to run and play with others her own age; we take great care of them; we do provide some grooming services (for a very small fee); and we only charge $25 per night.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Aubrey's Pups

Aubrey's pups are seven weeks old as of today. And not only are they gorgeous (no bias here), they are really, really smart. They've been going in and out of the doggie door for over a week. They've been going out with us for the past two weeks when we run errands just so they are comfortable with people of all size, shape and color. They've been on every surface inside our home (towels, newspaper, sheepskin, tile, carpet, concrete, doggie beds, etc.) as well as every surface in our back yard (dirt/mud, gravel/rock, and grass). They bark (a joy starting this early), play fight at two and three o'clock in the morning (another joy) and love to shred the newspaper day and night (more joy). And for the last joy, they give kisses, pull on my beard, and make my eyes feel good when I look at them. Look at the photo. See what I mean?

The pups are doing very well, but before I tell you just how well, I want to share one more baby picture. I'm a proud dad.

New Puppies

2010-08-05T14:23:00.000-07:00

On July 26, 2010, Aubrey gave birth to two lovely puppies - a Blenheim girl at 11.5 oz and a tri-color girl at 9.8 oz. The mom is well, and the puppies are doing very well.

Mayfair News Update July 25, 2010

2010-07-25T14:15:00.000-07:00

Okay - I'm embarrased. I haven't posted an update since May3rd. First the sad news: We lost Clare February 25th; she was 15 years and eight months. Only now can I write about it. She was a central part of our family for a long time, and we miss her a lot. NOW on a brighter note, Aubrey, Clare's five year old Grandaughter, is due to have her third litter tomorrow (Monday, July 26, 2010). She has only two, and they may be either girls or boys and either Blenheim or tricolor. I'm excited. Clare' s genes carry on.

Puppies

2010-05-03T13:49:00.000-07:00

Our house feels strangely empty - We are currently without puppies. We kept the little tricolor that I said we were keeping, AND we decided to keep the little Blenheim girl. They are now six months old and just beginning their career in the show ring. Also, all of Britty's pups are in their new homes. Look forward to seeing at least one of them in the show ring, soon.

We will be having new puppies in about three months. I can hardly wait.

Britty's Pups 1-25-10

2010-01-23T16:27:00.000-08:00

I do want to introduce Ch. Mayfair Britton's (Britty's) three boys. Born on November 30, 2009. This is the first all boy litter we have ever had. They are all healty, happy, and have fabulous coats. They are aready going through the doggie door, and have a strong preference for going potty out of doors. Their energy is endless, especially during a 3 AM play period. Pixie and Sarah are going to be good mothers. They are gentle playmates and love to mother the puppies.

Tennie's puppies - 1/25/10

2010-01-23T15:43:00.000-08:00

Tennie's boy, Dash, now lives with his dad, Ch. Mayfair Maxwell (Max) and his family, Emily and Brian Wensel. The two girls, Pixie and Sarah, are living with us. Yea! All three are beautiful, if I say so myself, but judge for yourself. You'll see them in the show ring in the near future.

Tennie's Puppies - 11/19/09

2009-11-19T16:29:00.000-08:00

Tennie's puppies are great!! They're healthy, happy, and very self confident. They had their wellness check-up yesterday, and everyone came through with high marks. The Vet's comment, in addition to the fact that they're all healthy, "These puppies are magnificent." We're keeping the tri-color girl (on the right), and the little tri-color boy (far left) is going to live with his Dad. The Blenheim girl ...well I'd like to keep her as well, but Robbie (my wife) doesn't think we should. If we sell her, it will have to be a show home. She's far too pretty to be spayed, which removes her from the gene pool, and that's exactly what would happen if she's sold as a pet.

Tennie's Puppies - 9/27/09

2009-09-27T17:13:00.000-07:00

Tennie's pups are doing very well. The Blenheim girl now weighs 1.6 lbs., the tricolor girl (she's the one on the left in the first puppy photo and in the middle in this photo) is 1.1 lbs. and the tri boy is 1.4 lbs. Their eyes and ears are now open, and they are just beginning to play with one another.

Tennie's Puppies - 9/19/09

2009-09-19T16:41:00.000-07:00

The puppies are all doing well and gaining weight as they should. The Blenheim Girl started at 8.6 oz., and currently weighs 12.8 oz. The Tricolor Girl was born at 7.2 oz, and currently weighs 9.4 oz. Finally, the Tricolor Boy initially weighed 8.4 oz, and now he weighs 11.1 oz. GREAT!

Tennie had her puppies

2009-09-17T23:06:00.000-07:00

Yea! Tennie had three puppies: one perfectly marked tricolor girl at 7.2 ounces; one Blenheim girl with a Blenheim spot at 9.5 ounces (and yes - she came out barking and tried to bite Dr. Jackson); and a tricolor boy, also perfectly marked, at 8.6 ounces. Mom and the pups are all doing well.
