Great Dane Breeder; Bing the Great Dane
Our keeper girl, Gigi. So cute, fun and naughty! We love her.
Down to three puppies…it seems so quiet! The only time it would ever seem easy to have three puppies is when you’re down from nine!
Dickens does not get picked up for a little bit yet, but he is having a camp over with a friend, for extra socialization. Here at home we have Gigi, Charlie and Heidi. Charlie and Heidi are still looking for their perfect homes. Such sweet babies! They already know “kennel up” and are doing amazing with potty training. We’ve been taking trips to the park and around town, to get some car ride time, check out new places and meet new people.
Charlie is usually the first puppy to crash. He will climb into their shared crate and start napping. Gigi follows him in, although Heidi would much prefer a lap for snuggling.
The puppies had their first venture outside today. They did great!
Counting from the first day of breeding puts this picture at day 48:
Trying to find a comfortable position..
Standing up, from the other day:
And, a poor quality image, but a sweet shot of Kizzy and our feline family member, Oliver:
Kizzy has been out with a handling team and has picked up three more points towards her AKC championship. She is now “singled out” – she has 12 of her 15 needed points and just needs a 3-point major to finish her championship.
Don’t know what that dog show jargon means, but curious? Check out AKC’s Beginners’ Guide To Dog Shows and/or Counting Points at a Dog Show.
Here she is with Gwen Meyer, winning two points (June 2013):
Feeling guilty about forgetting my camera to the commercial filming, so snapped a couple pics of Kizzy today:
And one from last month of Kizzy with her siblings, who are both owned & loved by the Lemke’s:
Wilson (Skyy x Taxi litter), Greta & Kizzy (both Skyy x HP litter)
Couple shots of Kizzy from today in the snow…
I’ve been so delinquent on getting photos on here lately!
Wilson came to stay with us for a few days, while his big sister, Greta, had TPLO surgery.
Wilson is now 10 months old and bigger than Kizzy!
With tears in my eyes, I’m sharing that today we lost our Skyy – Ch Payaso Flighty Star Alliance RN CGC CHIC – to pyometra. We had discovered a large hemangiosarcoma on her spleen in April, so I’m thankful for the great last six months we’ve had with her. She was such a sweet, happy girl. She was loved.
