Hi! Thanks for stopping by! Tonight I have two updates–one on Suma, a pup from this past litter (born in April) and one on Koby, who was from our very first litter (March 2014). Both have turned out so well and I’m so happy that their owners have kept in touch and continue to keep me posted with pictures and updates. So, to begin with Koby!
Koby was the last puppy to be sold in the first litter we had–and I’m so glad we were able to hold onto him for as long as we did because he has found the perfect home and seems to be really flourishing—which you can tell from the pictures. I remember him as being such a smart little guy, and from what I have heard, he continues to be just that. Weighing 120 lbs, he’s probably more brains than brawn, but he looks decently sized and in my opinion has to be one of the most beautiful puppies we’ve had! His owner has always spoken of his loving attachment to her, and says he is such a happy and loving boy.
Gorgeous. Just gorgeous. 
And of course, the pool. Over the years we’ve owned saints we’ve always had a kiddie pool for them to cool off in when the weather required it.
Suma Lu–as her owners affectionately call her–seems to be doing really well too! At the end of September, she weighed 70 lbs, which is witness to the fact that she is going to be absolutely enormous. She is soooo pretty and from what her owners have said over the past seven months it sounds like she has the sweetest disposition and temperament! Her training has gone super well and she is especially good on the leash…one of her favorite pastimes is lying on the floor under her owner’s feet while she’s cooking—a trait she acquired from her daddy, since he does the same when we allow him inside! While she is a sweet girl, she is also a serious protector of the pack and her house….which also describes Bomber. I’m so glad she’s turned out to be such a beautiful dog and that she is doing so well in her new home, but….I really miss my Pokey girl.
This is so classic. And cute.
As for Goldie and Bomber, they are both doing great! Goldie is finally acting normally again…after she was in heat she exhibited signs of a false pregnancy…complete with the destruction of her dog bed in the attempt to make a nest for herself and her *coming puppies*. However, she’s finally pulling out of it. Bomber, of course, is the same old goof he always is.
Bomber was watching over Goldie as she was eating–it was really sweet! Yes, our barn is messy at the moment.
I’m so glad Goldie has fully grown her coat back: all through the summer she blew it out due to nursing and it didn’t start to grow back until around August. And just for the record she’s still as sweet and docile as ever!
I’ve noticed that Bomber is getting some grey and white around the black mask on his face…it makes me sad to think he’ll be four years old! I really love my big boy…
Thanks again for visiting! For all of those who have been emailing and asking about the date of the next litter, I plan on breeding her on her next heat, so hopefully around March or April. I still have a few more spots on my waiting list, so drop me a line if you’re interested in purchasing a puppy around then. I have a fun update coming up on Moe (known previously as Chub-Chub) that I’ll try to post in the next couple of weeks. Thanks so much!
