Skye litter plans :)

Skye is co-owned with Rory Brown. We are currently starting her health clearances and planning to breed her in 8-9 months. At the top of our stud dog choices we have "Barnaby" Pikkinokka's Stormtide Barnaby. Stay tuned for skye's clearance updates and updates on this potential litter!

Kona Update

Hi Simone and Mum,

Cupid’s first night was good.  He slept on the area rug by my husband who slept on the couch.  We did not want to leave him by himself, and will sleep with him for the next few nights so he does not feel lonely.  He enjoyed his walk last night and this morning, (no accidents in the house yet).  He is bit nervous but as you know it will take few more days to settle.  He seems to be happy,( his tail wagging) and exploring the house.

We still have not decided on a name, but thinking of Kona

Wendell update

Hi Simone,
How are you doing? I just wanted to send a little update on Wendell. He's doing great, I can't believe that he's almost 1 year old. We just came back from a road trip to Saskatchewan (I've attached some pictures). He's really good in the car but can't wait to run around once he gets out. He definitely doesn't like the heat and always manages to find pools of water to jump into. Even though he looks pretty scrawny, he weighs 45 pounds and seems to be considerably taller than other Tollers that I see around. He's a great pup and everyone adores him. Anyway, I hope all is well.

cheers,

Jill Pringle

Zeke Update

Hi Simone,

I hope all is well in BC. I was looking at your website and noticed that there was a practice dog show for newbies earlier this month, and sadly we already missed it. Do you know of any others that might be coming up in the future? I thought it would be good for us to see what shows are all about before we enter our first official one.

Thanks a lot!

PS, Zeke is doing fabulously and is getting ready to graduate from his second doggie class. Here's a quick picture of him; I was honestly stopped five times today on our walks by people wanting to pet him and commenting on how cute he is. We'll be sending you more pictures after his nine-month birthday. He's such a sweet dog and we're lucky to have him.

Marvel update

Hi Simone,

I'd like to give you some quick updates on Marvel. He is 34 lbs now and looks very handsome. (I took a picture of him with my phone as I'm writing this.) 

Our dogwalker takes him and other dogs as a group to the Marymoor off-leash dog park to play and swim for 90 minutes twice a week when we're at work during the day. He has so much fun out of these outings (I'm attaching a picture from his recent trip). He goes with us on drives and walks over the weekends.

We had him neutered last September and he has calmed down a lot since. He loves to cuddle with us on the sofa and loves blankets and soft pillows of all kinds. He is a true techie dog. He loves to paw on the keyboards of my laptops and has typed strings like "qqqqqaaaaaa" in chat windows and address bars. He has successfully popped a key and turned on an Xbox with his nose.

Take care. And we will come to the BBQ/picnic this summer if schedule permits. I'm sure Marvel would be very excited to see his brothers, sisters and various cousins.

Best,
Christine

Echo Update!

Hello Simone,

I am back in the states and wanted to give you an update on Echo
(formally known as Fanning). He is a wonderful puppy. He gets along sowell with our other dog. They have become inseparable in this shorttime. Echo is smart and sweet. He has adjusted to our environment perfectly.

Brody Update!

Hi Simone,

Here is a quick update. Burrow is doing very well. We are trying on the name “Brody” for the day to see how we all like it. He had a good night. He slept in his crate last night from 11:00 pm – 1:00 am. He then woke up, we took him to go pee (nope) and then back to bed in the crate. It took about 10 min of my husband petting him through the cage and he fell back asleep until 6:15 this morning. He ate well and has gone pee and poo outside :) He really likes our other dog, Copper. Copper is getting used to a puppy, he enjoys jumping on the couch to get away from him...we have not seen any aggressive behaviour so that is perfect.

Ripley Update

Hi Simone:

A quick update to let you know how the "Big Guy" is doing.

He aced his first obedience classes and is on his 3rd set of agility classes where he ranges from very good when Sandie takes him to only so so
when I take him.  I guess a lot has to do with the handler eh?    I'm going to continue to take him and we hope to start some fun matches in the late Spring.
We have a trainer coming in for a few weeks of private lessons to help us with him and Molly as they really react, and feed off each other, to
neighbours, the post man, etc.  They take turns getting each other going and it's gotten a bit too much so we are dealing with it. Other than that he's basically a gentle pussy cat who likes to curl up with
me on the couch or lie in the bed right at my head.  He's been really quite good with other dogs and has cut down quite a bit on his need to hump everything in sight !!

His favourite "game" is to play hockey downstairs with Molly and I.  They chase pucks around as I shoot them ( the pucks, not the dogs :) ) and they both scream their fool heads off.

He's about 42 lbs now and seems to be stable at that weight.  The Vet gave him the full meal deal and other than needing a rabies shot was good to go.He felt Ripley was pretty well at his ideal weight now. The Vet was quite impressed with his gentle demeanor.
We run into Sawyer quite a bit at the Lynn River and have also met Jackson at the Fraser River.   Also met Seymour at Barnett Park.  He is one of Topper's sons. My Sister breeds Havenese and one of her friends and fellow Havenesersin California owns the infamous "Schooner" who is Molly's Dad and sired a number of Lisa's litters.  She was quite interested in Ripley's black nose and said that black is favoured by the judges in California now.

Have attached a couple of pics of "Ripples" for you taken at the cabin.

Cheers,
John
