Hi Colleen. This is Kristi and Sue. We bought our 2 dogs from you in April 2008. Ruby is my dog and Cody is my mom's dog. We are so happy they are apart of our lives. They are fun to be around and they get to see each other everyday because my mom and I live very close to each other. Cody is so much bigger than Ruby we always laugh because his legs grew so long. Ruby is small she is probably 5lbs. We are very happy with them and love them so much! They will be a year on Jan. 26! :) Thank you!!  |

HI EVERYONE,
My name is Jason, and I was fortunate enough to add one of
Colleen & Keith's puppies to my family. His name is Prince Archiball.
at first we just called him "Archy", until we realized that he carries
his favorite ball with him everywhere he goes, so we felt that adding
"ball" to the end of his name was a perfect fit.
I have to say, at first I had some concerns about Archy, thats
only because of his extra-small size. I was a bit worried that my
other dog Quincy ( who is a Beagle) might play to rough and
unintentionally hurt little Archy. But nothing could be further from
the truth. Yorkies are like giant, athletic dogs, that are wrapped up
into a small package. And Archy has absolutely NO PROBLEMS handling
himself while he is wrestling with Quincy(by the way Quincy weighs
more than 4-times as much as Archy). I was very surprised to find out
that yorkies are really high-energy, little tough-guys. It also seems
that yorkies are so unbelievibly smart, they are very good little
problem solvers. However, they don't realize how small they are, they
are not afraid of anyone or anything, which makes them great
watchdogs. No matter how big their opponent is, it's like they just
don't understand how small they are. And these are all things that
Colleen had talked to me about before I had even purchased my yorkie.
I guess to some up my thoughts on what type of breeders Colleen
and Keith are is simple, they are the good kind. They breed because
they have a true passion for this breed. Colleen kissed and hugged
Archy while talking to him for a few minutes, just prior to me
bringing him home. I could tell that she was quite choked up to see
Archy leave. Now if that doesn't speak about this womans incredible
character as a loving, caring, and compassionate breeder, who believes
that the well-being of these animals always comes first, no-matter
what, then I guess I don't know what else to say. Not to mention,
Colleen had said several times, that she would gladly take her puppies
back if anyone couldn't properly care for them any more. Her
commitment to her puppies is absolutely second-to-none, and I
recommend if your looking for a loving and caring yorkie, buy your
puppy from loving and caring people, who just happen to be breeders
(Colleen and Keith).
I'd also like to add that my personal vet had said that "Archy was the
epitome of what a purebred Yorkshire Terrier should look like, and
that Archy was well bred with an absolutely ideal temperment. And when
people think about Yorkies, Archy could be the posterboy for exactely
what a Yorkie should look and act like." I was a little speechless
after hearing that from a Vet, so I went home and looked at other
Yorkies online to compare to mine, and realized the vet was right.
Even though I had no idea at the time I bought Archy, the vet was
right that I had gotten a very well-bred dog, basically what my vet
had called "THE BREED STANDARD".
Attached is a picture of Archy, all 6.8lbs.of him. And the other
picture is of Quincy, my super-duper tracking Beagle.
THANKS COLLEEN & KEITH,
JASON, ARCHY & QUINCY
Hi all. I'm finally back on to the blog. As all you who know me know, this is the last thing I get to. I prefer to spend my time playing and cuddling with the babies. Its been so long that I have a bunch of emails and pictures to share with you all. They won't be in chronological order but they sure are nice. We'll get to those in a minute.
We've had quite an eventfull time these past several months. We've had several litters of puppies and currently just have 2 girls that are ready right now. We also have 4 litters that were all born in early February. They will be ready in Mid-April. It sure if fun to have them all here. Opps I'm getting paged again. bark bark. lol. brb.
Ok I'm back. I better move on and start uploading emails or I won't be able to get to them. Until next time you all take care and lots of puppy kisses to you all.
I can't believe how fast this summer is going. Tomorrow is Aug 1. Wow, June and July sure went fast!! We've placed all the older puppies now and are ready to start placing Marnies litter. I can't believe they'll be 10 weeks old in just a few days. I actually placed Marnies little boy yesterday so we just have the 3 girls left. It'll be another month before the other litters are ready. The puppies grow so fast its amazing to watch them. From the time thier born about the size of a mouse to the time when they are ready to leave. They grow and experince so many things. Ther first time they nurse, The first time thier eyes open, The first time they can actually get all four legs under them to walk/wobble, The first time they come out of thier kennel/den to meet and mingle with the rest of the house, The first time they go outside to play. All of these first times really make you appreciate life. They sure keep me hopping though. With every litter they find new mischief to get into. lol
Well there is mischief afot and I need to go check it out so I'll catch up with you all latter.
Hi all, I thought I would share with you an email and picture I just got from one of our new parrents.
Well it didn't take long for our new puppy to go from shy and timid to tenacious and bouncy! Oh we just love him and every day is so exciting. He struts around now with his tail up and his head held high. These pictures just don't do him justice. It's hard to capture him on film. I want to assure you that even though in one of the pics it shows Franky licking a leftover corn cob, we are sticking to a healthy diet and we don't usually ever give him table scraps. :)
Franky loves to sleep with us and is doing very well with housebreaking. One accident just today, and it was partly my fault. I gave him a bath and didn't take him outside after. He liked the bath, but he liked running around all wet even more! He loves his pet bed and keeps his toys buried in there. When he eats, he'll take one piece of kibble and walk way over to his bed and eat it. Then back into the next room for one more piece of kibble, etc. etc.
He sure is smart, and even more persistant. You must be a saint keeping all those little Yorkies. They are such a smart and stubborn breed, I'd be afraid that they would assemble and take over the household!
The cat is coming around. She likes to come out when Franky is sleeping and lay down a few feet away and stare at him. He has such quick movements I think that scares Sophie. But, there is less barking and hissing so we'll just be patient.
One thing Franky really enjoys is bike rides. We are avid bikers so I'm especially happy that Franky likes it too. My husband got me a pet cozy that I can carry the dog like a backpack only the pup is in front. Only his head sticks out and he likes the wind on his face. Of course he was nervous at first, but now he sees the pet cozy and can't wait to get in it. I know I probably look like the neighborhood dork riding around with my little dog, but who cares - we really have fun.
Well take care. Thank you again - and we'll keep in touch.

In my last blog I told you that Zoie had her babies late on July 3 and early on July 4. (Another all nighter). Originally she had 6 with one still born. Unforunately she lost one that had its lung punctured durring the birth. She also lost one with failure to thrive. It was just too tiny to make it. However, the other 4 babies are doing really well eventhough they are really small.
Then on July 6 Lucy Lui had her babies. She delivered 6 very healthy puppies. She now has 3 girls and 3 boys. She and the pups are doing very well.
Finally, Shelly started having her babies at 12:30 this morning. She was very nice to me and had a quick delivery and finished up about 2:30 this morning with 4 healthy puppies. She now has 3 boys and 1 girl.
I am wiped out after all these deliverys. Thankfully we don't have anymore pregnant dogs so I will have a break after these ones are ready for thier new homes. However, we will be really busy until then taking care of all these new babies. No boating for me this summer. lol
Well time to go. Have fun and take care of your babies.
