Harley is the last puppy available now.  Irok and Irina have gone home.  Harley is good at playing with his daddy Viktor, Momma La Roux.  Harley is a big boy now.  Using the doggie door, playing with the his momma La Roux and daddy Viktor (and Fifi, Pippa and Hilde, well Grace too but Grace doesn't play at this point being almost 7 wks pregnant.

Here's Harley today he is 14 weeks old

hahaha... I'm out of space for pictures,

contact me for updated pictures of Harley

Harley is one great little guy

he's sweet, playful, running around, then pick him up and he's a bag 'o jelly.  He's really a wonderful puppy.

I thought he was spoken for ... guess not ... ?

Hunter

got an update on Hunter now Rowan

seems he had coccidia when his stool was tested

weird... not for you but for me.... I just took in the fourth stool sample and no comment from the vets.  We rang them but they had already closed.  I will call them again tomorrow and ask why they aren't testing these stool samples at $36 a shot.  They should be picking up these puppies' stool samples if their owners are saying that's what they were tested for.

Hattie now Nutmeg

She's in a very wonderful loving home.  We are so happy for our new puppy owners.  I screen people pretty good to make sure all of our puppies go to homes (for example) like little Hattie's family.

genetic testing

Harley is the only available puppy out of this litter.  He's a great little guy and lives with the little puppies that havn't found their loving forever home.  He's heftier in body, would rather play with them than not, getting along wonderfully.

I have to say this.

So many people contact me and say ... but I only want a pet, why do you have to do all of that and charge $1800+ for your puppies?  (I hear this a lot).

the little puppies had their first shot, check up and worming on saturday.  I guess since I'm so into doggies I listen to people in the waiting room.  Sure enough the elderly man had an elderly lab that has two cataracts.  Her eyes where completely blinded and white from the cataracts.  She was in for over night testing for her actual "ailment."  I felt sad for him.  He and his wife are spending so much money on keeping her comfortable while suffering with this ailment that I don't know what it was.  I'm thinking to myself ... if your dog's parents had been testing CERF you wouldn't have a blinded dog in yours and hers elderly age.

Genetic Testing

We genetically test our poodles for things like "cataracts" 

our puppies will not have these ailments, their parents don't have it and neither will their offsprings.

just had to say

Couple of pictures of Hannah now Simone

so cute, Gerry said

"a baby, a senior, and a senile canine" living together

very nice, thank you Gerry & Jerry!

she's already enjoying boating!

this looks like Jim, he always has a poodle laying on his feet!

Popular questions with puppies going home

Puppies need smaller doses for their dhpp shots, hence the "puppy shots".  It's a series of three shots that should be given 3-4 weeks apart.  This litter has had their first.  He/she needs to be wormed (hmm, well wed) two weeks from last worming, always worm them twice.  I had the puppies stools tested and they did not have any parasites.  The trip, new location, other dogs, etc. can cause he/she to pick something up.  Please remember to do a stool sample with your vet and have a complete check (parasites, giardia).  This should be done on their annual dhpp booster every year.  The last shot is her rabies shot.  It will last one year.  At one year of age puppy needs a "3 year" rabies.  

The sheet that comes with your puppy packet was their check up with the vet.  Puppy got their first puppy shot and wormed.  I suggest 3-4 weeks later her next puppy shot.  I do not suggest giving her a rabies shot and bordetella and dhpp and heartworm ... which will overload their immune system and can cause a weak-healthy dog.

so that's really all.  I take my poodles in for a complete physical every three years with a blood panel to catch anything that may be going arye.  It's not cheap but it's worth it.  Grace & Everad have had their complete physicals being older.  Hilde is due this year for hers.  Both Grace & Everad have been tested clear for addisons.  I get doubtful comments from this blog when saying that.  The blood panel will show any type of infection.  I strongly suggest it.  

I genetically test our poodles to be clear for breeding.   La Roux had a blood panel and was pristine.  Addisons is fairly common in standard poodle, hence why we breed the moyens (sometimes directly minis and standards).  It gives them diversity and extremely low COI (inbreeding).  

Use your common sense with your vet, don't let them give puppy an overload of shots and/or treatments at a time, many doggies have passed from doing that.  I do not give our poodles heartworm medicine I test them annually.

Please feed your puppy only a high quality holistic/organic dog food.  I love the lamb bones but I don't like the raw chicken necks.  The lamb bones are very difficult to get but are the best ever.
