Happy New Year

We hope everyone had a great holliday season and a happy New Year

Crombie and Nessie are being just as fun and crazy as ever.

Here they are playing in the kitchen.
 I think Nessie won this round but really they each hold their own.

No More Puppies

 We said good buy to our Light Blue puppy. It was sad but I know he is going to a great home and will have lots of fun with his new family!

Here he is getting ready to leave for the airport.

We also said good buy to our Orange puppy just tonight!

She is going to a wonderful family locally which is great! We are hopping to plan some puppy play dates in the future. I totally forgot to get a picture but hope the family will send me one once she is settled.

It was nice to have their family come over and see Crombie and Nessie and get to play with them and know their temperament and how they interact with people. It was also really great to see them play with the puppy.

We are very sad to finally have all our puppies sold but we really do love all the families they have gone too.

We are really going to miss them!

Puppies 11 Weeks!

Our last two puppies are now 11 weeks!

We sold our last male! He will be leaving for his new home in Connecticut this week!

So we just have our little girl Miss Orange left.

Here is Mr. Light Blue just after getting a bath

He really has one of the whitest coats I have seen on the puppies. Usually they can have a buff color or yellow ting when they are puppies but he is so white. I could always tell which one he was because of his coat.

Miss Orange is so much fun!

She loves to run around the yard and we got some great action shots of her:)

Her ears are so cute in this one  

I love how you can see the bottom of her paws. They are sooo big!

She's about to take off:)

I love her smile. You can tell she is having so much fun!

She is such a cutie!



Great Komondor Litirature

I have recently come across two great resources on Komondorok. I did a lot of research on the Internet about Komondorok and their is some great information out their but by far these are some of the best reading you can find about the breed.

The first is a book called Komondor, of course:) A Kennel Club Book written by Joy C. Levy

This is a fantastic book for new owners of a Komondor or even if you have had them for a few years like myself. I really wish I had found this book back when we first got ours. It is full of great information and history about the breed along with awesome training information. I can't say enough about how great this book is for any Komondor owner. It really encompasses everything you will need to know in order to take care of your Komondor from grooming to health care. It also does a great job covering the lifespan of your dog and what to expect from the time they are a puppy to their senior years.

I was able to find it on Amazon for around $28 bucks.

The next is the Komondor Club of America Breed Magazine called Komondor Komments.

You can go to their site here and print off the application. Fill it out and mail it into the Club Treasure Sherry. I have gotten to know Sherry a little over the last few weeks and she is amazing with all of her knowledge of the breed and willingness to share it. The subscription is $30 for the year and you get one quarterly. Sherry was telling me that in the last magazine it had great tips on grooming.

If anyone has found other great books about Komondor that has helped them feel free to share!

Puppies 9 weeks!

Wow our puppies are now 9 weeks old. I can't believe how fast it has gone. Our last two are getting so big and are so much fun. We have our male which is the light blue puppy and a female the orange puppy still available.

Here is Mr Light Blue and he is so stinken cute!! I just love how fluffy they are getting

He is such a sweet puppy

 The next few are of the Orange little girl. She needed a bath the other day and she and Zander had a lot of fun running around the kitchen:)

They may not be in great focus but it was hard getting these two while on the move

 Sorry for the blue tint the settings were off a bit

Next are some action shots

This is what I see every time I go outside with the puppies they run right up to you:)

These are the sweetest puppies ever! They are so cute and love to play and be cuddled. 

Introducing Your Puppy to His New Home

I ment to post this sooner but things got crazy with shipping all the puppies. This may still be helpful.

When you get your little guy home for the first time their is a lot of excitement. Usually you have been waiting weeks to take your puppy home and it is finally the day! Their are just a few things you will want to be mindful of. This is a new place with new people to him so he may be shy or anxious. He has never been away from his mom and litter mates before so this is all new to him. Try not to overexcite him at first and give him a chance to get to know his new home.

I recommend giving him a potty break when you first get home then take him into the house. You will want to give him a tour and show him around. Take him to his kennel and were he will be eating. Give him a chance to relax a bit. Potty training starts right away so during this whole process keep an eye out for signes he may need to go.

We had to ship both of our dogs so when we got them home they needed a bath. This was a great opportunity for us to get to know our puppy and for them to relax and enjoy being pampered. They loved being washed and getting dried and spending some special time with us.

Puppies are very curious and explore with their mouths so be very watchful that they don't chew on anything that could be dangerous like cords and such.  You really do need to go through and puppy prof your house just like with small children. Make sure he can't pull anything down on top of him or get into things that are dangerous etc. You can even start with some of the rules you will have for your puppy. Such as using the word Off when he gets on something you don't want him to.

Most importantly enjoy the day and getting to know one another!

Good Buy Puppies

We said good buy to most of our puppies over the last few days. It was much harder than I ever expected and I even teared up a few times during the week just thinking about them going. They all made it to their new homes safe and sound.

This is a pic of our two little girls that went to the same family. Here they are all ready to be shipped to their new home.

This is the great family locally picking up their puppy. It was so nice to meet with them and see their cute family. This puppy will have lots of fun!

I totally spaced grabbing my camera the other morning when we sent off our two other puppies at the airport. So I did not get any of them as they got ready to leave:(

The night before the two girl puppies left we wanted Zander to get a chance to be with all the puppies one last time. He really loves them and asks all the time to see the puppies. He always points to were we keep the puppy food and tells us that is were it is:)

About 5 sec after we took the pic above the puppies tackled Zander. Dad was close by to save him:) 

It really has been so fun as the puppies are getting older and watching them chase each other and Zander around.

We will miss them soooo much!

We still have two puppies left from sales that fell through. We have the

Light Blue puppy and the Orange puppy. It's been nice to still have them so it takes the edge off of loosing them all at once. The puppies also love the attention they now get all to themselves:)
