How's The Weather In Detroit Today?? Hi everyone!! Curious as to how the weather is looking in and around Detroit today.... I know you guys had some bad weather over there and my little Gloria wasn't able to make her flight home last night... Hoping things are clearing up over there and she'll be home tonight! |
Well I'm not in Detroit but I'm in Michigan :) Today it isn't snowing :) Now fill me in on Gloria??? I'm assuming she was flying out of Metro? New puppy???????????????? |

New baby, yes... she's in my avatar.... not a "puppy" so much, as she's a year old... sweet as can be.... Hope she makes her flight tonight... can't wait to hold her!!! She's supposed to be in OKC at 10:25 pm.... (crossing fingers!!) |
4 Attachment(s) Here are the most recent pictures of Gloria that her mommy sent me a few days ago... |
3 Attachment(s) a few more... |
I thought they had a snow storm in Michigan yesterday. They said on our radio that they were closing some of the schools. We were supposed to get that storm here but we ended up only getting a couple of inches |

Dena, when are you expecting Olivia and Desiree? They look so beautiful in your aveater??? Dont know how you find such beautiful babies.... |
Quote:
Claire and Olivia - - as well as little Desiree... will be "road trips"... so I need to account for time away as well as my health issues in planning to go pick them up.... hopefully within the next month or so, EVERYONE will be together!! Next to arrive will be little Gloria, tonight (hopefully) - - and then Sebastian soon, as he'll be flying in as well. It's been - and continues to be - a wonderful journey!!! :) |
Dena, I saw your reply in the health screening thread I started, and didn't want to ask this there because I want to keep that thread on topic. But are you planning to breed all these tiny babies your are buying? |

How are you able to find so many breeders, in such a short time, that you feel comfortable buying from? I was so worried about buying just one female to start breeding with, I cannot imagine this many at one time (and I am still waiting on my male). You will have your hands full with testing them all around the same time....plus your males. She is a cutie...looks tiny. Have lots of fun with your new fur babies! Tammy |
Aren't all your new dogs between 2-4lbs full grown? |
Wow breeding too, you really are fearless, LOL. You are going to have your hands full with all those adorable little babies everywhere! I'm very glad you found YT. Aren't all of your females very tiny? Are they big enough to breed, I would hate for you lose one. Be sure to hang out in the breeders forum, maybe you can find someone in there willing to be a mentor to you. |

As for everyone else - we'll have to see what they do and how they grow... none of them are finished growing (except Sebastian) and I know for certain that Amelia will be in the 5 - 5.5 range once she's at her healthy adult weight. She is currently 10 months old and just over 4 lbs, but came to me very thin and needs proper nutrition to build her up and we'll see how she finishes out. Mia is a pretty little girl, so we'll have see about her.... she's currently 3 lbs at 10 months old but that is not so much of a concern for me as her petite build and compact little body... good for "the look" but not so much for being a mommy... I prefer the longer bodies for a healthier pregnancy. She'll be a "wait and see" as to whether she is mama's baby or a "baby mama" hahaha... :p Gracie is currently 8 months old and 4 lbs.... she's going to be a beauty!! Breaking her coat beautifully - - dead level top line... perfect bite... her height/body length proportion is perfect... nice earset... she's going to be gorgeous.... but she's APRI registered... and I prefer to stay with AKC... so I haven't decided whether I'll use her in my program or not. I do have the okay from her first mommy in the event I decide to, but again, I just need to think on that some more before I make that decision. My little male Sebastian is 4 years old - 2 lbs. and should be a wonderful stud, so we'll see what his background and current health reveals.... as with everyone else. As for the other girls that I've not brought home yet.... well, they have wonderful backgrounds - and are beautiful.... but again, under a year old and until I have them in my hands to get a good "look over", I won't know if they will be potential mom's or my forever baby girls.... either will be fine with me! I'm working very closely with my vet on the controversial "too small" topic and she has assured me that little ones can safely become excellent mothers provided we cover all of the necessary avenues. So, we'll continue to work together on my program and I will heed whatever advice she provides, regardless of whether her views agree with my own opinions or not. I believe most of our genetic testing will take place at OSU and I highly respect their opinions as to whether my babies are of "breeding quality", so again, these decisions will be essentially left up to what results I receive back from the medical professionals involved. As for "standard", I'm not going to limit myself to the "blue and tan" as I personally love the dark colorations as well and hope to build a beautiful black / gold line within my program. (another controversial topic) My goal will be to produce solid healthy pups, of good genetic make-up and a quality background - - - well rounded, docile tempered, appropriately socialized - - I'm hoping for pups that will be between 3 and 5 lbs as adults and with "the good looks" to match! :) My puppies will be placed on a spay / neuter contract into pet homes though I do hope to EVENTUALLY raise at least one baby out of the blue/tan line that will have the "what for" (haha) to enter the show ring. I myself, am not "up to par" to become a "showman" but do hope to place one of my pups one day with someone who will finish him/her out for me.... that's a long term goal, but one worth reaching for!! So with each litter, I will be "on the look out" for "the one"!! :) |
