Happy Birthday "A" Litter

Well, even though there were only 4 of them, we were only able to get two pups to visit for a little reunion (spring days are busy :o)

So, above and below we have from left to right - Samoa (Abita), Colby (Allagash), Kona (Mommy) & Gryffin (Uncle!)

Samoa, just a picture of her Mommy, taking a break from LOTS of running around! Samoa will be moving to Georgia with her mom and dad in a few weeks. Her Mom & Dad who are exchanging vows next weekend, both got residencies down south!

It's not a party without presents, right?! All the berners agreed! Those who couldn't make it will be getting their gifts in the mail (when I finally get around to mailing them).

This is Mr. Colby -- a beautiful, big boy who will potentially be joining the show ring this season!

Colby is a total clown, but the sweetest of boys. Here is he balancing his new toy on his nose!

Colby (front) and Uncle Gryff (behind), just sharing some good panting time.

Game on -- Samoa pretends to be the quiet one... but in reality, she is quite the trouble maker!

Samoa in action... leads the game of chase and then falls directly her submissive stance to avoid being trampled by several hundred pounds of black, white & rust!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PUPPIES!!!

We missed you Abby (Abbey) and Anchor (same name exactly)!!

PS - We are planning one last breeding with Kona this summer! Daddy will be Mr. Gryffin. Stay tuned for more information!!!

Samoa

Samoa settling into her new home -- it's really tough being a puppy who is loved!

Here is Dad trying to help Samoa get used to her new crate. Samoa says "Yeah right, Dad! You expect me to sleep in there? I'd much prefer in bed with you and Mom!!!" We think Samoa is getting spoiled just a bit, but how can you refuse a face like that?!

Abby

Rhonda has been wonderful about sending pictures and updates on little Miss Abby! Apparently she does lots of gardening at home, but she is as sweet as can be. She is spoiled with toys, loves her naps and 'hates' her crate, but she is growing

Abby's first day at home -- 7 week sleepy puppy!

Abby attacking the camera strap -- No more pictures Mom!!

Nap time with my toys - 8 weeks

Just doing some gardening, Mom!

Abby at 9 weeks young -- what a girl!

New Homes

Anchor left for his new home on Friday, May 26th and we hear everything is going really well. He has been held constantly by his 3 new sisters and 1 new brother. Anchor was a surprise gift to his new family from mom and dad (Lisa and Jim) pictured above -- what a great gift! Jim grew up in Bern Switzerland where Bernese originated so he has a bond with Anchor already!

Here is Miss Abby getting ready to go home with Rhonda, her new mom. Rhonda and Abby's dad Frank have been waiting anxiously for almost 2 years for their little girl. We think they're going to have their hands full with the 'diva' of the litter, but they swear it was love at first sight!! So far Abby will be keeping her name, she just dropped the 'e' :o)

Miss Abita went home on Sunday, May29th with her new Mom and Dad -- Jenny and Dan. Jenny has decided to call Abita Samoa in honor of her mom, Kona. We hear that Samoa has her new family wrapped VERY tightly around her little paw. Her Mom and Dad have the summer time off from med school so she figures she has ample time to train them to spoil her rotten!!!

Allagash stole the hearts of Sally and Dick. He was our tank with the biggest heart of all. After some careful thought, Allagash is now known to his family as Colby, perfect fit if you ask me. He has 2 other doggies and 19 horses that he shares his new 40 acre farm with. Yes, I think he's running the show already.

To all the new families - Congratulations and always keep the photos and emails coming!!! We miss out babies dearly, but so much look forward to watching them grow up!

Pups are more than a handful these days, but cuter than ever!! We are really so happy with what we've gotten from this breeding. Each personality and every little face is darling! Time is fast approaching that they will leave our hands and make a lucky family very happy. We still have some availability, so please contact me if you are interested at pcschenck@dejazzd.com

Time has been something tough to come by, but I will definitely try to get more stats and photos up of their 6 week birthday some time this weekend or early next week.

This photo is of Anchor from yesterday -- what a face!

They're definitely at the irresistable stage now. We don't know how we're going to let these puppies leave us in a few weeks. Personalities are showing through and even Noah seems to have a favorite. Here are a few pictures from today (they turned 4 weeks yesterday).

Abbey 6 lb 14 oz

Abita 6 lb 6 oz

Anchor 7 lb 9 oz

Allagash-the-Tank 8 lb 6 oz

Kona & her Babes -- I think she's about ready for them to leave the nest!

As Luke was helping carry the babies outside for some photos - I couldn't resist this shot!
