I think Heidi still has a couple of fingers left after trying to bait them on the table instead of hold them.
As usual, varying degrees of cooperation. We tried to get front shots while they were standing in order to look at depth of chest and chest shape…some of them wouldn’t hold still though unless we put food in front of their nose, so you might be able to see chest but not face. LOL Overall right now I’m very pleased with the fronts on these babies, I hope they stay so nice.
In other news, I am borrowing Heidi’s girl Jenna for a few days for some “other dog” socialization. Jenna has always done very well with Heidi’s litters, so I think it will be a great experience for the babies! And Lizzie loves Jenna, she seems happy to have her around.
Vegas – so far he has proven to be one that looks better in person than he ever does in photos. He has a GORGEOUS front and so much personality! 2 front pics so you can see his face.



Lucy – she is just effervescent, that’s the best way I can think to describe her. When I vacuum litter up from inside the pen, she wants to play with the (running) vacuum hose…that kind of puppy.


June – the confident little alpha, I believe. June is thoughtful, bold, kind, and occasionally silly. She didn’t want to play show dog this week, but I love her bone & presence.


Harmony – always the first to greet you. I love Harmony’s pretty expression (not exactly on display in these photos LOL), she’s so girly.


Cade – Mellow, sweet, and silly. I could eat this puppy up! And I’m loving his length & bone. Actually, I love lots about Cade…


Echo – Oh so sweet! She is just the easiest-going puppy. And so striking! She has been lagging behind in strength in her rear but seems to be catching up more now. I really like her elegance. I don’t normally see her toe in in the front, so it must have been a weird stance.


Miles – he LOVES to play and frap around the house. I adore his freckles!


Madeline – spunk personified. Maddy is up for anything and everything! I don’t think it gets any cuter than this girl. She always looks good, and naturally stacks (when she’s not zooming around).


Pickles – loves to be picked up! Nice middle of the road temperament, Pickles is a sweetie. After taking the show side picture that made my jaw drop, Miss Pickles was D-O-N-E and the off-side picture is the best we could get LOL.

Drool, Drool, Drool- what a lovely litter.

Oh my. There are puppies I could take home so happily — Cade is still handsome, I’m liking Madeline, and Pickles is surprising today. June is a stunner. Good job Lizzie and Pie!

What a nice, well-balanced litter! Hmmmm…Pilot mixed well with the Grangefield line – something to think about in the future.

Damn….you are SO lucky when we talked that I am not in the place for a puppy
Can *I* lease Lizard someday? lol

Cade, Maddy and Pickles… ohhh Pickles!

Oh my! They’re all so wonderful! We are just beside ourselves waiting to see them on Thursday. Have made reservations at a hotel in Gadsden. Then will travel up that morning. We are just insane over your wonderful pups!

Umm, you know? Not all litters are that pretty. I can’t decide.

Beautiful!

So…where is the closest airport to you??? I think I need to put my hands on these puppies. NICE litter!!! WOW!
#15 by Emily~ DreamEyce on July 29, 2009 - 3:43 am
Emily- if you go, take LOTS of pics. I wish I could take home another Cardi now, but when I peeped about these pups to Curtis, he growled and said “One more year” ;0P Plus, Traum didn’t help the dog fund very much with his little stint last month ;0P
I can’t wait to watch them grow! Someday, I want a Pilot puppy!

You already know how I feel about these babies… they are family.
Echo has stolen my heart, but they are all so beautiful! I miss their soft fur and puppy breath…

We have a decently sized airport here, in Huntsville AL. Nashville TN and Birmingham AL are also each about 1.5 hours away and would be doable. Atlanta would be tougher, it’s about 3.5 hours drive.
I’m also taking them to the WR when they are 7.5 weeks, for evals.

Good information to know… about the airports and such….
