Haley's puppies at 2 weeks old.

As you can see here at 2 weeks of age the puppies eyes are starting to open and they are starting to get a little chatty with an occasional growl which is pretty cute. The puppy with the pink nose with black spots is just a little slow to get the black nose you are use to seeing.

The next pictures that you will see everyone should just about have there eyes open!

Judging AKC B match in Yakima Washington

I was invited to judge an AKC sanctioned B match in Yakima Washington again for 2011 which is now the 4th match I have officially judged, slowly but surely on my way to attempt to acquire my AKC judging licence sometime in the future. The match was alot of fun as I was assigned to see the Toy group, Terrier group, Non Sporting group and Jr. Handlers as well, at the end of the morning judging Best In Match.

All the dogs were very nice and well presented by there respective handlers making it pretty difficult to pick the winner at the end of the day. The winner at the end of the day was an Afghan Hound that moved very well with the limited amount of space we had to work with. We had a nice snack at the end of the match and then it was time to leave for home...

Thank You Yakima Valley Kennel Club!

Dicksie is readying for her new little sister...

Does this remind you of anyone in your household?

The Ewers are log time local owner or should I say Dicksie is a long time local owners of hte Ewer family... See how she has her owners trained!

They have decided they are ready for a second Westie and have setteled on a puppy from haley's litter, who are doing very well at a week old thank you.

In Cynthia's words.. So, just in case you were unsure how our doggies are treated? Here are a couple of my favorite photos.


Dicksie likes to be a "dog baby". I put her on my lap, rub her belly, and she falls asleep. It is our favorite thing!

Just 6 days old...

Growth spurt...

I was almost able to catch one of Haley's puppies on her back... This is a sign of confidence or well... just plain relaxation as the pad under the whelping area is heated. Look how much she has grown from the last picture. She is getting her pigment in and does need a nail trimming this weekend. All the puppies are doing really well. It's not easy sneaking in to get pictures so I do the best I can. I will have more time this weekend for a few group photo's.

Haley and Hammish welcome 4 new puppy girls!

Thanks to Hammish, Haley had four very nice Westie puppies last night without complication. They were very quiet through the night and as you can imagine Haley is happy for the event to be over so she can relax a little. Everyone is feeding very well and seems to be gaining weight.

This picture was taken while Haley was out on a very brief potty break.
