Puppies from Coast to Coast

Day 49 -

The puppies turned 7 weeks today, are mostly weaned, and got all of their shots. Our next big task is to sort out their new homes that they will be going to next month. As much as we hate to give them up, they are getting to be a handful and our neighbors have been very patient about the noise!

The good news is that they are very in demand because of their good breeding and fancy-schmancy pedigrees. Their breeder is a star of the dog-show world, an international dog show judge, and has published extensively on breeding. She holds the all time AKC record for the most Best-In-Show wins as well as the Westminster record for most Group wins with her Elk Hounds that she has been rasing for more than 40 years.

We will be working with her to evaluate the puppies over the next couple weeks and figure out their placements, but it looks like they will be off to homes in Tahoe, Seattle, Virgina, and New Mexico... and of course one will stay right here in Alameda!
