She's getting so big!! I was out of town for five days and I swear she doubled in size.
We breed faux Frenchies and colored mainly draft cross family sporthorses.

Ok, here's the meetup spot- Tuscano 14919 N Kelsey St, Monroe, WA 98272. My aunt wants to try Italian. And the parking looks decent. At 11 π
Here is what pups have been eating.
O.k., here's Hippo's puppies late video.
Looks like someone couldnβt get a sitter for girlβs game night π©π»βπΌπ₯
Here's the runt, we will be retaining. She got aspiration pneumonia last week. But the vet thinks her arches are suspiciously swollen and she could need surgery down the road, but we won't know until she's 6 months old. So we have a new tiny pet baby.
Here is Squirrel's litter minus the tiny girl. I'll post one of her separately. She's one pound, and I really expected this to be a free for all so in the interest of her not getting knocked down left her with her mom. But then Mocha happened so now they are afraid of her. Not cats, because after this video they started bothering the other old cat and she isn't schizophrenic, like Mocha, she's just a straight up gangster. So I had to save them from all that. I do say Hippo's litter in the video, but it's Squirrel's
I will be taking videos tomorrow. Sorry, guys, this has been a super long week. I'm shooting for around 11 in Snohomish for Hippo's puppy pick ups next Saturday. I'm going to get an address from my aunt, we'll meet in front of our lunch place up there, but I don't remember the name
So this will likely be a midweek picture week. I have a lot of work with my second side hustle this weekend, the hay. It's a lot less enjoyable π
So much love π
Just a little PSA, my overall life may be going through a drastic change shortly. I don't plan to stop breeding, but I'll be playing it by ear. If you've always wanted one of my pups sooner may be better than later π Winter litters WILL be done.
Squirrel x Tater's winter list-In theory this breeding would be November/December. So pups would go home March/April. Squirrel has had a few more struggles as a mom than Hippo. Nothing major, but enough that I'm giving her one more try. If she still has difficulties after this litter she'll be spayed and retired. So if you like the idea of the smaller, more compact puppies this may be your last chance. Puppies are $1600

Duke is so walleyed lol. Fortunately he'll outgrow that, but he won't outgrow the blue chips. He looks just like his dad to me. He's a love sponge π©΅
The fawn merle pied girl. She's the drama queen and wanted down. Now. She loves her little sister, though, and is obsessed with her momma. I think she will be a huge cuddle bug and somebody's shadow.
The red girl. She's the most laid back, and the least walleyed. This litter is definitely walleyed.
Fiona β₯οΈπ Fortunately I took a little video of her earlier in the week because she won't take her eyes off me when I have her and these were the best we could get. When grandma has her she's sure she's getting fed (she's right).
Did you miss out on all this?? I will be taking spot for Hippo's winter litter. I will take ONE discounted spot. Let me know. I will be keeping the pick female out of this litter as well, so there will be fewer spots next litter.
Lucy Lou. Not much you can say about her, good looking, out going. She's quite a little puppy.
I've been calling him Frank Sinatra for his blue eyes. He's turned into a fawn merle which really surprised me since he was almost silver as a baby, though his new dad thought he noticed it. He had no ears up yesterday π
Here's Indie, the challenges of keeping a cream dog clean are already apparent. And boy does he like to scatter the pellets. He's a sweety.
Hippo's puppies π Here is Waffle, who looks like she's going to be a blue brindle. She is one of the puppies that is built just like her dad, has his face, and is also a whole problem π€£ Excuse the mud in the panels, I hosed them off outside after taking them out of the garage and I'm pretty sure all I did was move dirt around.
If you're interested in the top spot on Hippo's next litter let me know. I'll take one advance discounted spot.
Maybe this one will load faster.....
Geez, my pretty short video has been downloading for over three hours. Anyone know how to move it along?
Waiting for it to cool off to get videos of puppies. It's 99 here still at 7:30.
I'm thinking we're going to have videos today lol. Here is Fiona, objecting to her bottle cutoff.
We. Have. Success!! Puppy pen is up π Picking up shavings tomorrow and then will turn Hippo's puppies loose. Pics tomorrow β₯οΈ
Sorry pics are still late. I've spent the last couple of days struggling with the pen. Time to call in the big guns, my nieces boyfriend π€£
So here's the name line up so far...
Hippo's cream boy is Indie, her fawn merle girl is Lucy, and the blue girl is Waffle π©΅ And Squirrel's red fawn girl (the little runt who now pretty much just lives on a bottle) is Fiona and the blue merle boy is Duke. If you picked your puppies name and told me and I missed it, or have recently come up with one let me know π

Short video preview of weekly pics which will be done on Fridays. They are growing like weeds. They already seem to like being petted.
Finally got puppy pics. We didn't get Bingo because the other pups were nervous and kind of clinging to me (I'm not supposed to pick anything up so my daughter went and got them). They're used to doing most stuff with me, so they were a little clingy. Not Bingo. Bingo was a licking, tail wagging blur. So I took a little video that features him pretty prominently.
So today I thought I would take Tater for a walk. It's cold, we're probably getting rain tomorrow. So I thought it might be nice for the ball of rage to get out. He's not a long distance walker, and it was too cold for that. So A) he poops in the car. Almost immediately. After he'd just been outside. Then walks in it. B) He then decides he hates the car, everytime the door opens he bolts. C) Perfectly charming at the feed store (we had to pick up cat food), on the trail, guard dog. D) We did 15 mins out, 15 mins back; he sat down, several times, on the way home and looked at me like "nope, pick me up." Good thing he's cute.
