Empty Nest..

The puppies have all gone to their forever homes now.. The last three flew last Friday. It was a sad day for us and our house seems a little empty. Things are going back to normal, and Ashlie is enjoying her freedom..

I have a couple of pictures I took in the last couple of weeks of the kids and puppies.. But I will post them later.. It has been really busy getting ready for flights, sending goodie bags, and just taking care of the puppies. Since I am a hop-a-long it takes me longer, and my blog suffered for it..

We are planning on breeding Ashlie again next fall.. Check back periodically for updates. I am not on as often in the 'off' season.. But we still post updates of past puppies and will update you on upcoming puppies!

6 and 1/2 Weeks Old..

I know this is the latest I have EVER posted my update.. I am just moving slow I guess! Here they are, the last three.. 6 and a half weeks old.. They are all doing AWESOME at their potty/kennel training.. They have even slept through the night twice!

Sleeping Beauty
She is a very calm puppy.. Really quiet. She loves to snuggle, but doesn't EVER refuse to play with her brother and sister.

Prince Charming
Prince is very regal.. He ADORES people and would rather be snuggling with my daughter than anywhere.. He is always watching my mom, wondering when she is coming to get him I am sure. He is an absolute sweetheart, and will do well with his new friend Pepper..

Princess Ariel
Ariel is a delight. She is playful & snuggly. She is so small but can hold her own with her brother & sister. She really didn't want her picture taken today and was more interested in exploring..

It was a sweet, but sad weekend.. Flynn & Snowy went to their new homes.. I think they named Snowy, Mia. And Flynns new family was thinking of keeping his name as Flynn!
I haven't heard how their week has gone yet, but I hope to soon!

Again I am sorry I posted late. It has been a busy, crazy weekend.. Enjoy our babies!

PuPpY pLaYtiMe..

The puppies are enjoying the warmer weather.. My mom carries them in and out of the house in that wicker basket. So when they start getting tired of playing they head over to the basket like "ok, we're done now".. I am going to try to add the video she took of them today playing. Too Cute!!

5 Weeks Old..

This has been a crazy week! The puppies turned 5 weeks old today! Their personalities have just blossomed. We enjoy just watching them play.. They were a little tired when I took the pictures..

The puppies are eating well, not completely weaned but close..They will be able to go to their new homes locally next Friday, January 13th, Any puppies that will be flying can go two weeks later on January 27th!

PRINCE CHARMING
Phantom Black & Silver, Gorgeous super coat, mellow personality with a little bit of play.. He is already showing the conformation of a champion! His name suits him! He is Royalty! He loves to snuggle and give kisses.. He loves his tummy rubbed and to be cuddled like a baby..

Prince is SOLD, and he will be moving to Pennsylvania with Pierre & Carol & Their 8 year old Schnauzer Pepper! I am sure he will love his new home! Thank you Pierre!

SNOW WHITE
Dazzling Pure White Chocolate Movie Star! Snowy is ALL personality and glamor. Her pictures do not do her justice. And I can't use a flash on her because she is so white it blurs her out! She loves to play and typically starts it. But when it is time to cuddle she is the first out of the kennel. She loves people and loves to snuggle..

Snow White is SOLD.. Her new family lives in Utah,
Where she will definitely be spoiled, played with and cuddled a lot!
Thank you Aaron & Julianna

PRINCESS ARIEL
Talk about RARE! Ariel is a unique Chocolate Pepper, she has the same markings as the hard to find platinum silver color with a chocolate chip nose! She is a TINY little girl. She is the perfect amount of playful & cuddly all wrapped up in a little package. She LOVES people and typically is the first to meet me at the door. She has a loving temperament and disposition.

Please just let me sleep!!

Ariel is SOLD.. She will be flying to New Mexico to live with her new family. They have already informed me that they are already buying her clothes, toys and all sorts of fun stuff! Just 2 Weeks and 2 days to go! Thanks Linda!!


FLYNN RIDER
Flynn is the definition of Phantom! He is labeled a Dark Chocolate & Tan, his features are so striking that he really looks almost a silver white color. He too carries the champion conformation of his litter mates, he is very distinguished. He is the mellowest of the bunch. He likes to take a romp outside and will play when he is picked on, but for the most part you snuggle him like a baby and he is completely content.. And who can resist those puppy kisses!

Flynn is SOLD his new home will be in Colorado. They are driving to pick him up so he gets to go to his new home next Saturday! Too Soon for me, but I am sure he will be spoiled rotten and love his new partner in crime..
Thank You Deanna!


SLEEPING BEAUTY
Beauty is a traditional white Schnauzer, however, what sets her apart from her super coated siblings is her absolutely gorgeous MEGA coat. She is a beautiful puppy. She is mellow for the most part, but if she gets riled she can hold her own! She has a sweet temperament loves to have her tummy rubbed. And prefers to snuggle for the movie and give puppy kisses..

Beauty is SOLD! Her new home will be in Indiana..
Just a few more weeks.. Then she will be snuggled and loved by her new family!
Thank You Susan!

First Groovy Haircut!!

1.Flynn 2.Beauty 3. Ariel 4. Snowy 5.Prince

They did so awesome.. All of them were nervous about the buzzers and were a little shaky but they turned out so cute! Now they really look like Schnauzers!

We took them outside for playtime because it was such a nice day for Utah in January! I was hoping to wear them out some so they would be a little docile for group pictures..

They were a little too docile.. They were falling asleep, tipping over.. It was an adventure..

So I apologize the pictures aren't better. I had surgery yesterday on my knee that ended up a lot more involved than we had planned, I am on crutches in a unbending leg splint.. Not very easy to catch the perfect pose.. But thankfully the puppies are cute with out help from me!

Its all Fun & Games..UNTIL I get peed on..

They had just been blow dried so they are really puffy! Playing and loving the free time..

Rub- A - Dub Dub 5 Fluff Balls in a TUB!!

The Softest, Fluffiest Puff Balls EVER!

Prince was really good, he started getting a little squirmy with the blow dryer, but he was almost dry..

Ariel was scared, She seemed to like the bath part, I blow dried her holding her like a baby..She was a little shaky but held really still..

Snowy loved the bath didn't care for the blow dryer.. She held still for the most part, but got squirmy at the end..

Flynn just kicked back, let me bathe him, blow dry, he didn't care as long as he got the snuggle after..

Beauty was alot like Flynn, just let me take care of business.. she got a little bored because it took me forever to blow dry all of that hair! By the time she was dry, she was ready for some cuddles and a nap!

I was very proud of all my babies and their first time bathing.. They are growing too fast.. They get their haircuts tomorrow afternoon so check back!
