Recent News

Well, most importantly we have puppies!  Peyton had one sable girl on June 5 and she is healthy and happy and fat. Zoey has had her first litter as well, 2 blues (a boy and a girl) and 2 bi backs, also a boy and a girl. They were born on June 4. They are also doing well but Peyton is assisting with them because of her experience; all are vigorous but a couple are small and Peyton might step a bit more crefully around the little ones!
