Current Litters

Kate and Clancy's June 4 litter is nine weeks old!  We're busy with arrangements for the transfer to their new homes. Ocassionally I'm asked if I ship puppies, but most people who read my website assume, correctly, that we don't ship puppies at all.  They travel well in their small under-the-seat carriers with one of us or with their new owners, and people are surprised that the puppies are relaxed and fall asleep so easily to the hum of the engines.  Individual portraits are on Kate's 2010 E Litter.

This will be our last update on this litter but we expect to have puppies again next Spring.  I'll spend some of the intervening time editing my collection of past puppies' photos and I'll expand the "Past Puppies" page with their many charming grown-up faces.  Kate's former puppy Nutmeg was one of the bridesmaids in her owners' wedding!  Tip modeled a raincoat in one of this past winter's Land's End catalogs, and serious and thoughtful Joe acquired Maddie's puppy Annie as an impish, flirty and goofy sister.  It's so fun for me to see the puppies all grown up.

Ethan and Emory have been available and both currently have families with an interest in them.  To give them the best chance of finding loving homes at the same time their litter mates leave, I'm describing them as available.  As always, I can be contacted at 208 866-6970.

And last week's blithe description of crate training?  Peaceful and cooperative?  Ha.  We've had some interrupted nights.  But we're making progress, and the puppies do race each other to see who can get to a crate first.  They just need to hold those thoughts while they drift off into a sweet bedtime dream - and enable us to do the same!
