Rusty and Ruby are Expecting….

If you have been following the blog you may have seen me mention our new dam RUBY.  Ginger is officially retired (spayed)! Just as we were planning Ginger’s retirement we were led to a beautiful new dam to continue providing the Midwest with ideal vizslas! Ruby and Rusty mated the 2nd week of March, and we monitored their mating, and are hoping to know in the next few weeks or so if this mating stuck. Let’s take a look at our new dam. 
Ain’t she beautiful!
 

        
 
  
She has been the perfect addition to our family!  Ginger has been so full of life and pizazz since Ruby joined us, and can’t seem to get enough of her new playmate.  Ruby has the funniest little personality! She is JUST like Rusty in so many ways.  They love playing tug-of-war, and Rusty is being given a run for his money.  Ruby isn’t just beautiful, but physicality-wise she is a super high quality Vizsla.  Her agility and speed is crazy!  We thought Rusty could clear some high jumps, but Ruby doesn’t bat an eye at anything and just does it with such ease! She is an aggressive kisser just like Rusty and will lick your face off if you let her! Ruby looks so much like Rusty in the face, so much so, that if the lighting is poor i will get them mixed up.

Here you can see how similar their head shapes are (both are the soft faced Vizslas).  Ear and eye settings are practically identical.

Litter 4 Updates….

So there were a few family pictures that hadn’t made their way onto my previous post. So here I am posting a picture of each Litter 4 pup with their new family, or updated pictures their families have sent me. Along with a little snippet of how their doing!

MAGENTA – New name is PUMPKIN

       

“Pumpkin is doing awesome!!! We have her pretty much potty trained and she loves going to the park across from our house. She's also loving our runs and I'm trying to leash train her as well. There isn't anyone that meets her that doesn't fall in love:)”

RUBY- New name is PUMPKIN

day of pickup….

       

“All is well! We just love her! Last week at her shots, she weighed in at 19lbs 4ozs”

 

             

then they got their family christmas card pictures taken….

 

                                

“She is doing great! We love her so much. We have been working a lot on training. She is learning come, place, sit, go to bed. She's a quick learner”

 

ROYAL- New name is CLIFFORD

               

“Hello there!  Just wanted to touch base with you guys and give you a puppy update. Clifford is fitting in fantastically. Our other dog Bernard is teaching him to be a great dog. We have him currently enrolled in puppy training classes and he loves them. We take him for walks daily and he desperately wants to be friends with the sheep in our neighborhood.  I hope all is well. Thanks!”

CLOVER- New name is HUSKER

His momma came and picked him up and took him back to Colorado and here is the family all together!

 

    

“I thought I would send a couple of pictures of Husker the we took recently.  He is doing well and the kids are having a lot fun with him!!  He still loves leaves and eats about anything off the ground he can find and will not leave you alone until you give him an ice cube when you fill your glass!  He weighs 28 pounds as of today and people at the vet love him because he is so friendly.  I can’t wait for him to lose all his puppy teeth but other than that is doing very well.”

       

COAL- New name is DEISEL

 

“Just an update on diesel, he is fully potty trained for the past month he goes out on his own and at night never needs to go out just sleeps in his kennel. He is weighing in at 25 lbs last night. He eats a lot of dog food.He has been chewing away on everything to deer antlers to the couch and drywall. He is every smart he can sit, stay, heel and crawl.”

PUMPKIN- New name is LEISEL

day of pickup…

                                   

Leisel on Halloween!

“Liesel is doing great. At almost 30 pounds she is growing like a weed. She is playful and sweet. She is quite the snuggler. We are in love with her and she has been a great addition to our family. This is from today with her new sisters Pumpkin (beagle/dachshund) and Annabelle (border collie).”

 

and when i asked how she likes her new siblings they said “She loves them both but is particularly snugly with our small dog.  :)”

  

TEAL- New name is ARKOS

pickup day….

This was their update a few days after picking Arkos up…

“It’s amazing how quickly ARKOS has acclimated to our family, he’s chasing the our cat, sleeping on us and following all of us around the house. We are so impressed with how wonderfully of a job your family has done with his development. ARKOS is essentially potty trained and for the most part sleeps through the entire night.  He recognizes his name and simple commands, such as, no biting, let’s go potty he’s learning so quickly. After we had friends and family visit with ARKOS on Sunday, we had to take ARKOS to the emergency vet on Sunday night because his right eye swelled up. Vet said the injury was trauma related, minor, and that in a few days the swelling should subside”

SKY- New name is Buckaroo or “BUCK”

“I am finally sending you pictures. They were taken this morning from my phone, so they're not as good as I'd like, but you can see how beautiful (!) Buck is.  We live in a flat agricultural area, so our weekend walks are on levees, next to irrigation ditches.  Buck weighed in at 21 pounds on Thursday, November 6.  For perspective, our cattle dog, Trixie, is about 35 pounds and she's in the final picture.  The two dogs are getting along well.  We've been taking a puppy training class with Buck and he's a quick learner, gets along with other dogs and people well, and so forth--so far so good.  He eats and chews on EVERYTHING and we are constantly on our toes.  We have a sock of yours, by the way, it showed up a week after he got here :)Hope all is well with you and yours”

                        

ADIOS MUCHACHOS

Half of the pups have moved on to their new homes, and the other half will all be joining their families over this next week.  All our pups have found wonderful homes!

SKY:

This little booger is my “MIRACLE PUP” he started out half the weight of his littermates, and is quickly closing that gap.  He is one of the most affectionate and cuddly little things.  He LOVES kids.  Anytime we get him out to play he RUNS to one of our kids to get attention. This sweetie pie will be resting his paws in sunny California!

Exibit A:

          

   

       

         

    

MAGENTA:

This lady is one heck of a spit fire.  She never stops exploring! She was POINTING at everything!  She’d be great out in the field, confident, and one heck of a nose.  This gal is Arizona bound and is gonna have some kiddos to play with and love on her!

 

             

   

  

    

                       

  

RUBY:

This gal sure is a sweetie, and a real BEAUT.  A bit more timid than the others, but glowing personality once she warms up to you.  She loves to wrestle with her siblings, but is as gentle as can be. Miss Ruby is Arizona bound as well and will have a vizsla big sister, and human siblings that are so eager to shower her with affection!

  

      

  

           

ROYAL:

This dude is CRAZY attractive, and has the most energy out of all of our males!  Super adventurous as well (he jumps off of everything as his siblings timidly peer over the edge) This guy is joining a fun local family, who are outdoorsy and this spunky guy is gonna get to follow his dad on his mountain bike. (we have quite a few pups who do this now!) They make for great running and biking companions, with their seemingly endless supply of energy!

              

         

           

                

       

CLOVER:

Outdoorsy for sure.  He is outside EVERY chance he gets, and when he wants to still be part of what’s going on inside, but is afraid he’s gonna miss something exciting outside he will just lay in the doggy doorway half in and half out!  Such a funny little character, full of energy, and such a people pup! His Colorado fam is picking him up Saturday!

        

             

   

                    

     

NOW these lucky puppers are already being showered with love by their new families….

COAL:

           

and Coal has someone to show him the ropes his big sister ZOEY!  And by sister I mean LITERAL sister.  Zoey is from our very first litter, and looks an awful lot like her dad RUSTY.  It was such a fun little reunion.  Great watching them play together after all this time!

                  

           

I think it’s safe to say that Zoey enjoyed the reunion too!

 

PUMPKIN:

This little lady is living it up in IDAHO.  She has some furry family family members she’s getting acquainted with now i’m sure, but they didn’t come with so you’ll have to use your imaginations.

        

 

TEAL:

This guy is also a new resident of IDAHO and from what i hear will have some mountain biking in his future!  He has a big brother with some big footsteps to follow!

  

            

     

Don’t worry I have a TRUCK LOAD of candid pics to share as well….

RISE AND SHINE LITTLE ONES!

 

  

                 

 

We’ve gone through 3 bags of dog food in just over a week….

  

           

                

     

                 

       

NEVER be fooled by the one who seems to be “gazing off into the distance”

             

He’s really an adorable criminal master mind with a fool proof plan of escape!

                       

         

                     

         

 

Someone’s been watching too much X-MEN….

        

ZZZZZzzzzz….

                    

            

Just a whole lot of show stoppin cuteness going on….

           

          

   

                  

 

             

                    

            

            

 

                   

         

             

   

Ginger LOVES playtime with her pups!

         

                

She is pretty good at letting me know when she wants me to get them out for her to play with…. 

   

So we of course oblige….

      

                 

So as many of you know this is Ginger’s LAST litter, but we got a new DAM.

Meet RUBY (Her name has been Reba up to this point but we’re trying out RUBY) She is so beautiful, and super sweet. It will take a little bit to get used to this new dynamic, but so far it has been a delight.  Ginger and Rusty LOVE her, and she’s been great for them. Ginger has been more playful (more like how she was before we got Rusty).  

                    

                          

      

3 VIZSLAS-we must be crazy!
