Update in December 2009 from BG Minis

Well it has been a good spell since I have updated the BG Minis blog. Have been busy with corn and wood pellets stoves during the fall heating season. Good to be back at the blog for BG minis with an update on litters planned . One of our partners in Lexington has a litter with her Piper a salt and pellet for 7 nice little pups. Will be over this week to see the pups and get some photos for all. They were were born in later November and are black and silver pups from Remington.
This is Pipers first litter and she is a great mama in taking great care of her little ones.

ShayLA and Remington wil be having pups right before Christmas. Got ShayLA a nice haircut and getting her area ready for the pups. Looking forward to another good litter from ShayLA.

They will be ready to go home in later February and we are working on our waiting list for reservations right now. Happy Holidays from all of the BG Mini family

Maverick is doing great-A Shadow and Remington Pup

Maverick is doing great. It is a wonderful dog. He loves us and we love him. He sleeps in my bed with or without me everynight. He has another schnauzer friend(Addie)next door and they do their hugging thing everytime they see each other. I think its so neat how the schnauzers recognize each other. Other dogs he just barks at.ds

Two puppies at one time going home the question

From time to time we get asked what works best for puppies going home and having two pups.
We get asked about all combinations:
1. Two little boys together= same litter or different litter
2. Two girls together = same litter and different litter
3. A boy and girl going home together same of different litter

Our experience has been any combination will work when two pups go home together..
More than likely there will differences in the pups and how they react.
WE have had success with all possibilites. We have talked to new families who have taken two pup home at the same time. The pups have done amazing well together. It is best if they sleep in crates at night for each to sleep in a separate crate.

Famlies have really like having two pups grow up together. Carter was from ShayLA and Lincoln was from Shadow. They were neutered at 5-6 months and have since they went home loved being together in Northern Ky. There are two girls from Piper in Elizabethtown Ky and do great.
Two pups from Shadow are now in Tn and boy and girl. Mac and a Shadow pup are in Indiana are both boys and love being with their new family. Also Barney and Bailey have a blast in West Virginia. Each will have a dominant pup but they always blend together and adapt quickly while growing up.

All have been real success stories going home in pairs.

Update on Lilly - who was Lola from Willow

This is Lola who is now Lilly and lives in Lexington with her buddy Tilla part of her new family. Lots of folks ask how the pups do with other dogs and they do fine! She is having a blast and loves car rides and her favorite toy a blind.
