Re-home AVAILABLE NOW!

According to her previous owner, she does really well with other dogs and even cats!  Loves people, is friendly and outgoing.  She has been boating, paddle boarding, loves the water, rides well in a car, great on a leash but not house broken yet.  She sleeps in a crate from about 9 pm to 7 am with no complaints or accidents.  Shilo is an engaging pup.  She may be too much for a family with very young children as she views them as siblings rather than 'owners'.  She will take their toys and not return them.  Young children cannot be trained well enough to understand 'dog language' which is why I want to place Shilo with older children who will attend obedience classes and learn how to properly train and learn how to be good caregivers. 

This pup will only be available to an home with older children that has dog experience and will continue training as she thrives on the attention and challenge.  Shilo is VERY loving, smart and playful and will do best with a confident and experienced owner who enjoys this type of personality. 

If you feel you have the time to continue her training protocol and are looking to add a very smart and willing learner who has a lovely, non shedding fleece coat to your home, please send in an email with 'Re-Home' in the subject line.  My application can be filled out on-line or downloaded and hand written, scanned and attached to an email.

Today, she has been playing pretty non-stop with my available Guardian Home boy, Diesel.  They are getting along great and are even sharing a very special toy that came with my re-home.  I also was able to do a bit of grooming with no issues whatsoever on this wee girl.

She is an adorable lil sprite who gives lots of kisses!

What a perfect day!

I had been waiting for some time to have a sunny, warm day to rake the leaves and pine needles that are all over the pup yard and deck areas.  TODAY was it!

Diesel and I spent almost the entire day, stacking some of the play-yard toys into their 'winter' areas and putting stuff away.  Then I raked and raked.  Diesel loved watching the rake go back and forth.  Every now and again, I would throw a ball and ask Diesel to sit or do 'down' and he complied because he knew I had treats.  Every time he jumped up, he was told 'no' and asked to sit again for the treat (which was a Cheerio).

After all was stashed and done, I think Diesel was quite tired.  He was eager to get comfortable on the  bench swing.  Smart boy.  :+)

I LOVE Autumn Clematis.....

and having Diesel amongst the thousands of tiny stars is 'icing on the cake'!

Updated pics of Diesel.

What a guy!  My husband just commented this morning on how much Diesel has grown and he has!  A solid as can be pup.  When you pick him up, he really settles and all his weight is on you.  He is very trusting that you will not drop him.  He loves snuggling on the couch with me in the evenings after everyone has been fed, including us.  Happily lies with you even if you put a blanket on him - he is like a furry bottle warmer.

Diesel has a lovely, non shedding coat that feels so silky and soft.  I am still working with him on training.  He knows his name, sit and come.  We are working on 'Leave it', 'Stay' and 'Down'.  I love that he generally (not always) sits to greet people, it is only when they stop patting him that he tries to jump on them as if to say 'don't stop'!

He is fed three times a day and sits before the bowl is put down - he loves to eat and is very food motivated, so makes for an easy pup to work with.  He has not started barking yet and I hope to keep it that way although all my adults here make up for it!!

I am happy to have visitors here to meet Diesel for a possible guardian home opportunity.  In these pics taken today, he is 12 1/2 weeks old.  Sleeps in his crate well and is also very good at having 'settle time' when you need to do something.  He is a good car rider and his temperament is engaging, friendly and welcoming.  He plays well with friendly dogs.

Still looking for a local guardian home for Mr. Diesel.

Once you meet him, you will want to take him home.  Any takers out there?  Give me a call or email!

We have had a couple of visitors this week that Diesel has really enjoyed!

Our daughter and family came down for a visit and boy did Diesel have fun with his sister Skye!  Both are potential future breeders for ADNE - not together, of course but hoping they both pass testing for their future mates.

Then my phantom hopeful, Onyx, stopped by and all three had quite the time getting to know each other.  Skye is overly confident and Onyx is so sweet and friendly.  Diezel enjoyed both of them in his easy going fashion letting the girls out fox each other.  :+)

Breeder hopeful - ONYX.  Parents are Duckie and Elsie.

ONYX snuggling with our grandson in one of the toy cars in the pup play-yard. She is so people  and dog friendly!

ONYX loves going through tunnels - a future agility course candidate!

I adore her coat and color pattern - apricot/black phantom!

She sparkles in the sun.  :+)

Always photogenic, here she is 'posing'.  

An apricot cutie is Skye from the Gunny x Boomer litter.

What an expressive face!

Curious, Smart, energetic, 'full a 'beans'!  Mini girl.  'Skies the Limit' fits her perfectly.

How are all Diesel's littermates doing?

I would love to hear from all of you.  Diesel has been doing well.  Sleeps from 10 pm to 6 am with no complaints.  He is really beginning to play with both Daisy and Gunny well.  I should say both Daisy and Gunny are playing less rough with Diesel!  He has more free time in the house because he is doing very well going potty when asked as well as using the dogie door quite reliably during the day. He still makes mistakes but just a couple when I am not watching or paying attention to the time.  It is always good to use a stove timer when you allow free time!  The less mistakes the faster they are house trained.

Diesel has an appointment for his Kennel Cough oral drop on Tuesday and I continue to take him to places to meet new people which is going well.  He is doing really well with not being so scared with cars and trucks going by - I am grateful I have a fenced front yard where playing with Gunny and Daisy has really helped him get over that by distracting him.  Of course, walking him with his harness and leash has also helped a ton.

I am so please by how people react to him - saying how nicely he sits and how handsome he is.  I hope all his siblings are enjoying meeting new people as well.

Please let me know how things are going!  Don't forget to add a pic!  :+)

Diesel is gaining very well and solid as can be.  A bit over 11 weeks and almost 10 lbs.!

Yes, I am still waiting for a guardian home for my sweet guy!!
