The Last Puppy is Gone.

We want to send a big Thank You to all the puppy buyers. We are glad that all of the puppies went to great homes, and we wish you well with your new family members. We would love to hear back from you and see pictures of your pups, if you get a chance.

For all those interested in buying a puppy from a future litter, we are planning on breeding Penny again, in a year or two. If you would like to be placed on a waiting list, or receive updates when anything new happens, please email us or give us a call.

The pups have been growing like weeds, and have changed so quickly we thought perhaps a video of them might be in order. It gives a better sense of what they look like and how playful they are. We've been working on leash and crate training with them over the last few weeks, as well as some basic commands. So far they've picked it all up fairly well...we'll see how it keeps going.

Currently there are two girls and one boy left. I noted this in the Individual Puppy Picture post, but they look so different there than they do now! The movie shows one girl and one boy in our yard. The boy has the blaze on his neck.

We were doing 'boy shots' today and got some good pics we wanted to share. The puppies are changing so fast they hardly look like their pictures from a few weeks ago!

The pups have grown like weeds!

Penny has been a stellar mom and has made taking care of the puppies pretty easy. She started weaning them this week, and I'm glad of the need for more interaction with the pups. They can see pretty well, are running around, climbing and curious about everything! Their personalities are really starting to come out now, and it's amazing how eight little dogs can all be so different.

Here are some more recent photos of the pups.

Pictures, As Promised!

They're here! Penny whelped eight healthy, fat, darling pups on 4/18/09 (or rather, started then and finished early the next morning---long night!). She four females and four males, all of which look just perfect.

Dew claws were removed yesterday, and Penny and her pups have settled down into a routine of eating and sleeping.

Puppies Whelped!

I'm happy to announce that our Penny successfully whelped her litter last night. The puppies and their momma are doing great and settling in. We will be taking deposits on puppies now, so if you are interested in buying one of these darlings, please contact us.

I should have put this in the last post, however, here are the pedigree particulars:

Dam: LCDC Pennyroyal of Roundprairie

Born: 08/01/2006

AKC registered

OFA certified

Sire: Whisperingpalms Misty Holow Martinlo

Born: 2/7/2003

AKC/CKC registered

OFA certified

There are some great bloodlines represented here, and if you have questions the information above please do not hesitate to get a hold of me. I am more than happy to talk with you and discuss any other issues you might be curious about as well.

Our family has hugely enjoyed being around Swissies. The longer we've been owners, the more we have come to enjoy the beauty, the fun, and the personality of Swissies. As I mentioned in our profile, we are hobby breeders, not full time dog breeders, and so our primary objectives in breeding puppies is to produce healthy, high quality Swissies whose owners will enjoy and love them as much as we do.

Well, enough of all that 'talking'. Pictures will be coming later today or tomorrow. If you are interested in contacting us about the puppies (or anything else for that matter) please call us or email us at 208-409-2994 or kriddw@yahoo.com. As I mentioned, these are going to be some lovely dogs, so check back often!

Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Puppies Coming Soon!

We are glad to announce that we will be whelping a litter of puppies towards the end of April. Our female GSMD Penny was bred late this winter and will be due soon.

These will be AKC registered puppies with excellent bloodlines. Both sire and dam are beautiful dogs and have passed their OFA hip certifications. If these puppies are anything at all like their mother, they will be real sweeties and excellent companions.

For more information, please call 208-409-2994 or email us at kriddw@yahoo.com
