The Florentine Litter at 5 Months.
We are in love and the four are probably staying here, each one special in its unique way. Lorenzo (red brindle), Coco (black brindle), Carina (red brindle spotted on white), and Aria (now looks like silver brindle).

04/21/2017

Aria, her Daddy's baby in every way. She moves with grace and is a pleasure to watch. Like Coco, she is a speedy puppy and can chase with intensity.

04/21/2017

Carina, Miss Smartypants, Miss personality, also loves to run and chase. She is obliging and easy to train. She is just the bright light in the litter. We just love her.

The HHF Florentine Litter, 15 weeks

Piero has gone to his forever home with Eleanor the DeVane. We wish them the best and looking forward to seeing him grow.

We will be deciding very soon if anyone else is available.

Here is handsome Lorenzo, our cosummate gentleman.

Yellow girl (HHF Maria de'Medici), called Aria, red brindle, Irish marked, MDR1clear/CEA carrier Aria has a beautifully fluid, elegant shape, sleek like her mom. She is probably the most lure driven pup in this litter, together with Coco. She has a lovely, obliging personality. Like her sister, she can also be very clever. Her brindle is he most pronounced of the three brindled pups, and continues to come out in light hues. For the time being she is staying at HHF.

03/16/2017

Red girl (HHF Catarina de'Medici), called Carina, red brindle spotted on white, MDR1/CEA clear Carina is the second smallest pup in this litter, bt not to be underestimated. She is tough, the smartest, the most clever, and the ring leader. She knows she's cute. Like her mom, she loves to chase, will take risks once she's comfortable, and is pretty fearless in taking on the boys. She has that "me first" attitude that I'm certain will do her well in the show ring and on the field. This girl has a lovely shape, with stunning rear angulation, possibly the best in the litter. For the time being, she is staying at HHF.

03/16/2017

Blue boy (HHF Piero de'Medici), called Piero; red brindle, Irish marked; MDR1/CEA clear Piero is the smallest pup in this litter, and hopefully will stay that way. He has nice curvy lines and a strong, wide front. His brindle is continuing to come out in lght tones. He is energetic, independent, but extremely sweet, with probably the softest temperament of the litter. He should do well in any home situation. Right now he is a happy little fuzz ball.

03/16/2017

Orange boy (HHF Cosimo de'Medici), called Coco; Black, Irish marked, MDR1/CEA clear This boy is extremely affectionate, loves to kiss and get belly rubs. He knows how to pull your heart strings. His coat is like soft, black velvet. He wants to chase intensely and needs a loving home thay will give him attention to help him realize his potential on the field.

Green boy (HHF Lorenzo de'Medici), called Lorenzo, red brindle, Irish marked;MDR1 clear/CEA carrier. Staying at HHF

Week 6. Here's a preview of great things to come!

02/17/2017

Tani has earned the distinction of #1 LGRA female 2017 Silken Windhound. She's already teaching her puppies how it's done, and they are happy to oblige.

More Week 5-
My little boy blue has been hard to photograph, and is under-represented. I shot these this morning, and have to share. He is a spirited little guy.

02/08/2017

When spotted red girl made it over the high top of the box, we knew it was time for freedom. Now they are RUNNING in a large X-pen and having a ball. They spread so much joy!
