Okay, so I had a decision to make.  This was a very hard decision because we really loved them all equally and were very pleased with the quality of the puppies.  There were many things I was hoping to get from the combination that we did get.  Don wanted to keep them all.  Sure, that is a nice thought, but reality says we can only raise one puppy at a time.  In the end, I went with my gut instinct and decided to keep Miss Ditto.  She caught my eye from her birth and kept it, and now she has our hearts.  We are excited to grow her up and see what a lovely girl she will grow up to be.

We will keep her name Ditto, we love the name.  Her registered name will be Borealbreeze Double Take.

Dazzle is now living with our very close friends Dan and Laura Brodigan in Palmer Alaska.  Dan and Laura have one of our B puppies, Bristol, and we are thrilled that they can take Dazzle and we can watch how she matures.  Her new name is Daysha and her registered name will be Borealbreeze Dare to Dream.

Dharma is spoiled good by Jay Easton and Jodi Stearn in Langley BC.  They are a wonderful couple who have been waiting a really long time for one of our babies and the match is just perfect.  Sophie is her new name and she is going to be the ideal companion for them.  I am very happy with this match and know that I will be hearing lots about how great Sophie's life will be.  Her registered name will be Borealbreeze Dance of Spirits.  She will be Jay and Jodi's little northern light. 

And our sweet, hunky Dutch is now known as Joe.  He was a big, brave boy who took a long journey to travel to his new family.  Joe is now living in New Brunswick with his daddy Jed, our dear friend Trish and the Wright family (Dave, Emily and Hannah).  He is absolutely adored and loved, and we couldn't be any happier.  We couldn't ask for a more appropriate place for him to grow up into a wonderful big strong guy.  His registered name will be Riverhaus Fly'n Dutchman v BBZ.

It has been a bittersweet time here at Borealbreeze.  So sad to see the babies leave, but filled with joy knowing how happy and loved they are in their new lives.  Good luck little Dreamies!!!  Ditto, Gidget and your family in Whitehorse misses you all!

I'll post pics of the babies in their new homes shortly!!
I hope you enjoyed our little D litter blog, and check back periodically for updates on how these babies grow up!!

Where has the time flown!!!  The babies are 8 weeks old and we did our evaluations on March 14th.  A big decision had to be made as to which family will get which puppy.

Here are the final 8 week old pictures:

The puppies also went to see Candace for their health checks and microchipping.  Everyone is strong and healthy!!  They really enjoyed their trip into town (okay, well they didn't enjoy the 35 km car ride very much, but they did eventually settle - but they loved meeting all the folks at the clinic!!).  They received their parvo vaccinations here at home.

Here are some pictures from the weekend when we had a little playtime outside, a little playtime inside, and a little play with big bro Centavo.
Puppy TV is the most entertaining channel here at Borealbreeze. 

Here are the 6 week pics!  Boy how they ever change in a week!  The puppies have been having such a blast playing and exploring and visiting with new friends.  I will post more pictures of them having fun later.
Gidget is nursing less and less often now and thus they are eating more each day.  They love chicken and any red meat and have a great time chewing on little meaty bison or elk bones.  I think this week we will introduce them to the joy of tripe!!    I love them all and it is going to be difficult to pick the one that stays here.  The girls are all so very nice but a little different in their own way.  But I know I can't keep them all, and luckily I have wonderful homes who are anxiously waiting for their very own Dreamy to come and stay with them.

It seems a little silly to post the 5 week photos when the puppies are 6 weeks old tomorrow, but here they are.  I finally got them to upload properly.  You will see how much they've grown since these pics when I post the 6 week shots on Sunday!  Maybe we will get some snow pics for you since the weather man promises us not too cold and sunny.  Enjoy!

The puppies turned 5 weeks old this past weekend and we have been so busy entertaining them!  Now is the time they are really starting to look for trouble! 
They had more visitors and got to explore a little bit of the outside, although it is still a little cold for them.  But that didn't stop Ditto!  She took on the great outdoors with fearless abandon.  The other three were a little more cautious and I anticipate will be making the snow trek very soon.  That is if we can get the temperature to rise a little more!

I am having difficulty uploading pictures here tonight so they will have to wait!!  My apologies and I will try again to post them tomorrow.

 

Tomorrow the puppies turn 5 weeks old and we will get some official pics up on the weekend.  Until then I just wanted to post a few pics from this past week.  They have been very busy growing and exploring their ever expanding world.  They are always wanting to explore different places and the more freedom I give them, the more they want!!   I tell you that they are certainly not afraid to express their unhappiness with being 'penned up' once they have had a taste of freedom.  The complaints department works overtime!!
They have had some visitors and really enjoy sinking their teeth into some new flesh.  They also have been introduced to some new foods.  For those that don't know, I feed my dogs a raw food diet, and that also applies to my puppies.  So my puppies are introduced to ground raw meats for weaning.  They have tried a little turkey, chicken and organic buffalo this week.  They love it all.
Here are some cute pics for you.

This afternoon Terry, Lynn, Julia and Owen came over for a visit with the puppies.  It was the puppies' first meeting with younger kids and boy did they ever have fun.  Julia and Owen were great with the puppies and I think the fun time was mutual.  The big dogs were also quite interested in the kids, especially little Centavo.


This is Julia and Dharma.


Dutch is thrilled to finally connect with another young boy.  Peas in a pod!!  That is Dazzle chewing on Owen too.

More updates on the weekend!!

The puppies have had a busy weekend!  They had more visitors, and it was Valentines Day so they got extra special loving.  They are getting bigger, stronger, more playful and fuzzier everyday.  We are introducing them to new places in the house and new toys.  They just love to explore different things.

Here are their sweet Valentines day pictures:

We are having so much fun with this quartet and can't believe they are already a month old.  They are such sweet and funny little comedians and we love being in their presence.
I hope to post more and candid pics in a couple of days.

The puppies hope everyone had a great Valentines Day!!
