Isadora's Pups 3/14/13

Okay, I'm embarassed. I just realized I haven't posted since Isadora's litter last year. Anyway, Isadora had another litter today!!! She had three pups - two boys and a girl. We have bred Tori, and she is due in about two months. We will also be breeding Cookie in the next few days, and she will be having her puppies in about nine weeks. Sounds like we'll be busy.

Well we thought all of the puppies in this litter were sold; but surprise, someone had to back out at the last minute. So if you're looking for a lovely 12 week old Blenheim puppy, this little guy may be the one. This photo was taken yesterday.

Before I get into more puppy photos, let me take a moment of your time to tell you a little more about GCH CH Mayfair Isadora. Izzy's mother is Ch. Mayfair Linhope, and her father is Ch. Mayfair Dewberry - both AKC national champions. Izzy became an AKC Champion on November 6, 2010 and an AKC Grand Champion April 28, 2011.

One more thing before we get into photos. So that we can identify the individual puppies, we usually come up with some, often silly,  descriptive name for each.
This is Red:

 This is Handsome:

 And this is Little Boy:

Now see if you can identify each of the puppies.

New Puppies - Isadora's Pups 9/3/12

We are pleased to announce the arrival of Izzy's puppies - three Blenheim boys weighing in at 4.8 oz, 7.3 oz, and 7.9 oz. Here is a picture of the pups about 24 hours old. We'll follow up with mug shots in the next few days.

Puppy News

The news about our puppies is that we don't currently have any puppies. The last two - from Tory and Aubrey - have gone to their new homes. The good news, if you're looking for a puppy, is that Isadora is expecting puppies early next month. We should know for certain if she is pregnant within the next week or so and, we'll know how many at the end of this month. Yea! We miss the pups.

We still have two pups for sale. Due to unrelated, unfortunate circumstances, two prospective buyers will not be able to buy their chosen pup. They are Blenheim boys, and are healthy, happy little guys. They will be excellent companions. In this photo, the pup on the right is Tory's and is 12 weeks old. The one on the left is Aubrey's pup and is 11 weeks old. They are 80% house trained, go in and out of a doggie door on their own, very intelligent, and well socialized.

Sad News

Well, we've had a lot of good news, so we're almost certainly going to have occasional sad news. You may remember that we lost Clare on February 26, 2010. She was 15 years and 8 months. Well on May 9, 2012 we lost Marlee who was 15 years and 6 months, and at her last annual check-up, she had a healthy, clear heart - go figure. She died of a brain tumor.

I will leave it to Robbie to describe how we feel. In a recent letter to friends, Robbie wrote, "When Marlee was six weeks old, she started to woo woo rather than bark. We knew she was very special, and would never leave us. She was incredible with a loving and happy nature that was always there - never sick, never in trouble - always ready to offer her affection when we were sad. She became our foundation tri.and lived to see her great, great, great grandchildren go to their new homes over the past month or so. (Please see Chuck's blog posted on our website 3/16/12 under Gypsy's Pups.) She loved us all and to be honest, we still cannot believe she's gone. We still look for her, but alas, she is not there. Her voice will echo forever in our wonderful memories.She leaves a gaping whole in our lives and hearts."
