puppy love: First Meal

Quincy and Caesar...

..are our two large Standard Poodles, AKC registered, with a smattering of champions in their family trees. They pass on a solid, healthy foundation to their puppies. With three children and plenty of room on our small farm, our puppies are well socialized and exposed to many different things in life to make them an adaptable and easy going puppy, ready for anything life brings their way. They go for rides in the car, they are taken out in public, they go swimming at the park, and they get groomed. As a veterinary technician, I am able to make sure they get the best of medical care. This combination of environment and genetics makes for a wonderful family pet. We still hear from owners of past litters and we have yet to have any issues with any of our pups. They will be sold with a puppy contract, limited AKC registration, food sample, heartworm sample pack, medical record and a mom-scented toy. Email me for more details if you are interested in future litters. Litter planned for DECEMBER 2008!!

First Meal

If you were in my dining room now, you would be hearing lots of lip smacking noises, and the air is filled with the pungent and actually, unpleasant odor, of canned dog food. The pups were offered their first taste of "real" dog food. And let me tell you, once it hit their lips, they were hooked. I don't understand it, and don't pretend to understand the appeal of canned, soggy dog food over warm mom's milk, but they are now having a full body (literally) experience. When they are done, it looks like I am raising a litter of piglets. All the blankets and newspapers must be changed, and faces washed. Thankfully, Quincy helps a bit with the washing part. She gets the parts I miss. A big day in the world of the pups--a small step toward independence from their mother.
