Nothing says love like a group of chubby babies!  These guys are little tanks and are growing like weeds.  Gloria tells me they might all be silvers or light blues.  Lots of white hairs on the bottom of their paws, as you can see from this first photo.   The pups moved to Kelsey’s home a few days ago and Ziva has settled in just fine.  She HAS to be next to her “Daddy” to have her babies, so Ziva always whelps next to the bed at Gloria and Howard’s home.  She is such a daddy’s girl!

At this point I am not taking any more deposits on this litter.  Three of the boys have wonderful homes waiting for them in FL, AL, and VA.  I have one home interested in fostering the female down in San Antonio, TX, but they are still not sure they want to show or deal with all the fostering requirements.  If they decide not to foster, they will take a boy as a pet instead and I will keep the female myself.  If, for some reason, the female is not suitable for showing and I decide to place her as a pet, I’ll update the status of the litter and contact others who are waiting on this or future litters.   I had a lot of homes wanting girls, so I’m sure one of them would be tickled to hear about a change in her status.

On the one hand I wish she would have had a few more pups to fill the demand for well bred Std Poodles.  At the same time litters of around 5 are my FAVORITE!  You can spend so much more time playing with the babies instead of cleaning up after them.  They also have enough litter mates to be socially confident with their own species.  We are excited to see how these guys continue to grow and develop.  Exciting times!!
