Big Boy Found A Home!

Big Boy, AKA Shadow went home with his new parents last night.  He will have two other Chi siblings, and be very loved and cared for.  I suppose he will have to be a shadow for a new person now.  It’s when we get to keep them a little longer than expected that we get attached.  It makes it difficult to let them go at times. 

It’s going to be a little while before we have another litter, but that’s OK too.   Babe should be the next one coming into heat, and that will be in just a couple of months.  We’ll skip Sable on her next heat, just like we already did with Annie, and Tia.  It lets them recuperate from the strain of birth and mothering.  I have never thought it a good idea to breed them continuously.  I just can’t see that as a healthy responsible way to go. 

It’s been a little more than two years since Babe had a litter.  She always threw a lot of chocolate and white puppies.  That may have been Gizmos’ influence, I am not real sure, but she does have chocolate in her family background.  Her sister was completely chocolate. We’re going to try to get her with Teco, he has blue and longhair in his family background.  I hope she will let him, but in the past she only wanted Peanut. Yep they do pick their mate.
