The cavalier puppies love playing outside

Manny, Holly and Mistletoe are growing so fast. They are learning new skills like teetering on uneven surfaces, navigating stairs, following when we call, and eating on their own (yes this is a skill they have to learn).

The weather is mild this week so they have been able to play outside without their little jackets on – they are SO happy! They run around and chew on each other’s ears and tails – more than anything, it is delightful to see their happy little bounces as they enjoy the fresh air.

All three are social and happy. Their little personalities are starting to emerge. I cant wait to see the results of their Volhard tests and see how right I am about their baseline.

We have one ruby cavalier girl available to the right home. She is more reserved in nature – friendly, but likes to watch rather than initiate. I think she would do amazing in a home where she is the 2nd dog, to follow, or with a more quiet home that wants a snuggle bug.

Piper and Ruby’s Cavalier puppies are growing

Pipers little Manny is 6 weeks old and Ruby’s girls Mistletoe and Holly are 5 weeks old. They are enjoying three meals a day and are getting very good at using their potty box, so their play area is staying nice and clean.

It is fun to see their little personalities starting to emerge. Manny is very outgoing – he has started to growl which sounds like a little trill from a chipmonk. He thinks he is very tough, but melts when you pick him up.

Mistletoe and Holly have started to play too, but are much more laid back than their “brother”. I think Holly is the most laid back right now, but that can easily change as they are exposed to new experiences coming up.

We play movies for them through the day – Jurassic park, Transformers, Saving Private Ryan – anything with loud, strange sounds so they think those noises are normal and not scary.

I am so pleased with these sweet babies – I am so thankful they are healthy and happy little ones.

Piper and Ruby’s pups are doing awesome

Piper and Ruby’s cavalier puppies are growing so well – both moms are calm and settled, and take very good care of their charges. I have to smile that both girls made a little version of themselves despite the fact that I bred them both to dogs that were different colors to them 🙂

I hope you enjoy these updated photos of them

Ruby welcomes two beautiful ruby cavalier puppies

Ruby went into labor on the day we expected – New Years Eve. Her signs were not obvious – she didn’t want to leave my side (or knee) and kept licking her lips. I put her in a crate beside me with a camera on her that I could discreetly watch from my bed 2 feet away.

Around 11:30pm, with no digging or grunting, she let out one big noise – I knew a baby had surprised her. And I was right. A big beautiful baby girl with little white markings. She was a lovely 5.9oz

She went to work caring for her daughter.

About an hour and a half later, she snorted and there was a wet sound – a tiny little angel Blenheim boy arrived – he never took a breath – he was barely bigger than my thumb and 1.8oz. I was so sad but I also know that there is usually a reason why they don’t make it, so I was thankful to lose him then and not in a week or month.

An hour after that again, Ruby started to push again, and another beautiful ruby girl arrived. 5.1oz of precious-ness.

Ruby has settled into motherhood quickly and loves her two girls so very much. The girls are healthy and strong and are already nursing.

Piper the cavalier welcomes a beautiful baby boy

I was so thrilled that after 2 years of not having any cavalier puppies, we had 2 mommies-to-be. Piper was due on the 30th Dec, but of course with cavaliers, we expect them to give birth around day 60 which was the 27th.

Christmas Eve, we noticed a strange discharge color. I called my vet and asked if we could do an evaluation. She agreed and we jumped in the car, so thankful especially considering the evening.

Piper was taken back for an immediate C-section. To our great disappointment, we had lost 4 out of the 5 puppies. The one remaining puppy was 3oz – tiny with no hair on his legs, muzzle or tail. All signs that he was premature.

Miss Piper came through surgery just fine and was quickly in love with her baby. This baby will need a lot of support if he is going to make it.

Pray for us <3

Charlie gets his first points

I am so proud of Mr Charlie who won WD/BOW on Friday under judge Yvonne Savard and then reserve on Saturday on Mrs. Carol C Sommerfelt and then WD again on Sunday under judge  Mr. Gary Stiles.

Charlie (Kazuri’s The Mystery of Hope) is owned by me (Sarah Sweetman) and was bred by Becky Smith & Sue Savage Green. I am very thankful to them for trusting me with this sweet boy. Thank you to Cheyenne from Sirius handling for taking Charlie to these shows when I couldn’t attend.

Phoenix and Watson’s cavalier pups turn 8 weeks old.

They are bright and bold and doing so well – we love them so so much. This is probably the last time I will be able to take formal photos like this as they feel sitting still is much too boring and there is a whole world out there for them to find things.

Enjoy this week’s photos

Blue chair photos for my Cavalier King Charles puppies

Phoenix and Watson’s pups are now 7 weeks old. It rained a bit this weekend so I figured this was a perfect time to do their blue chair photos – and they didn’t disappoint me 🙂

Gosh I love these sweet wee boys

The cavalier (ckcs) puppies play in the sun

Our sweet cavalier boys are 7 weeks old and we have had the nicest weather. As such, it has given them so much opportunity to play outside and interact (always supervised) with our other dogs. I love how gentle our beagles, cavaliers and golden are with the tiny babies, and how brave the little ones are trying to keep up with the older dogs.

Enjoy these photos of them at 7 weeks

Spring Sunshine and first adventure outside

The PNW is so pretty in the Spring with all the blossoms falling and the vibrant colors everywhere.

The cavalier puppies are now confident enough on their feet that I felt like they could have an adventure to explore outside (supervised of course) in the warm sun. It was about 65 degrees this morning and so they spent about 20 mins exploring
