We Have Puppies!

Well, it appears that I got the wrong breeding date for Inez, and was a little behind schedule.  This morning at 4:30 I heard tell-tale whimpering and whining under the house, and knew I had an early-morning job on my hands.  I found Inez, comfortably ensconced behind the AC unit, with her 7 new puppies.  She is now contentedly nursing them in a big box on the deck, which is a much more acceptable place.  Once again, the sire is Maverick, our neighbor's beautiful and sweet Chocolate Lab.  There are 7 puppies total:  1 black male, 2 white females, 2 black females, and 2 white males.    The puppies will be available to good homes for $210 each, with first shots, health certificate and pedigree/ bill of sale.  They will also be de-wormed.  To fill out an application form, please visit this link:  Puppy Form 2.pdf

Parents

This is Maverick, the puppies' sire.

And this is Inez, the dam.

Puppies

Below are some pictures of the puppies.  Availability is marked beside their names.  We also have a 5 month old black female from the last litter for sale for $250.  She is great with farm animals except poultry, as she eats chickens.  This is the reason that her family can no longer keep her.  She is very sweet and trainable, just has acquired a taste for fresh chicken.  Very good with children.

Here are some pictures of the individual puppies.  We have given them temporary names to make things a little easier, but of course the new owners can change the names, and in fact we ask what the puppy's name will be as soon as it is sold so that we can begin calling him/ her that so they will know that it is their name.  (A word about the temporary names we give the puppies:  We enjoy picking them out, and usually choose them from some of the many books we've read.  We prefer to use interesting names, so that's why some of the names we've come up with are- well- interesting.)

Males

Somehow all the males (except Jaxon) got Jules Verne names.  This isn't because we are just crazy about Verne, but he has some really good (and unusal) names in his books, so we like picking out of them.

 

 

Jaxon (sold).

This is Jaxon, the biggest male.  He is sold, and will go to his new family when he is eight weeks old.

"Fragoso" (Available)

The black male.  As you can see, he has a large "vest" of white.

Fragoso is the runt of the litter.  I am bottle feeding him in addition to what he gets from Inez, so he should do well.
He is going to a family from our church, where he will be a family pet and also help to protect the goats they are hoping to get soon.

We call him Fragoso (from 800 Leagues On the Amazon).

 

"Phileas Fogg" (now Bosco) (Sold)

This is the slightly smaller white male.  We call him Phileas Fogg (from Around the World in 80 Days).

Females

Here are the individual pictures of the three females.

The two white females.  (Flora on top, Berengaria underneath.)  Both are sold.

 

"Rosetta"  (Unavailable)

The larger black female (Rosetta).

 

 

Bernadette (now Selah) (Sold)

Bernadette (originally Passepartout- somehow I got mixed up when sexing the pups and thought she was a male.  Still trying to figure out how that happened...)

 

 

 

Star  (Sold)

"Berengaria" (now Angelica) (Sold)
