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.

The puppys are growing up fast

Will soon have photos of the pups for update on the ShayLA and Piper and Potion litters.
They are now 4 and 5 weeks old. Really growing and starting to walk.
The girls have been placed and we have two boys available of the 12.
We now have our own facebook group BlueGrass MiniSchnauzers.






This is the kind of crate we work with our pups in. They like being in their for their naps and at night. We prefer to be able to see in the crates and have a better air flow around the pup.
Plus with the rubber tray on the bottom it is easy to keep clean. Blankets are changed frequently also.

Got a photo of Bronx who is now in Kentucky




This is a photo of Uncle Jimmy who is now Bronx and lives in Tennessee and he is three months old and is growing into a fine southern gentleman. He has been a great addition to their home.
Fits in very well and lots of fun from talking with the new family.

Lilly ( Lola from Willow) now at home with her buddy








Lilly is doing wonderful .She is so spoiled.
She has done very well at night and has yet to mess in her crate (keep your fingers crossed!) I have replaced the iPhone alarm I once used with Lilly whining every morning between 645-715, just what you told us! :) She is really a great pup!!! We are so proud of how awesome she already is in the short time she has been home.
Thanks for everything!
Here are a few pics of her and her new sister (maybe you would say grandmother? haha) Tilla.

Barney and Bailey are doing great ( Jasmine pups in W VA







Bailey is still the “Ruler”…Barnum follows her everywhere! Bailey is constantly on the move, but Barnum is laid back and a little on the lazy side. They both LOVE being outside. Some of their favorite things to do are chasing the squirrels, chipmunks, and salamanders in our yard….they, so far, haven’t been successful in catching them (thank goodness!!!). Yesterday AM they were able to chase some deer out of the yard. They have done extremely well with the Invisible Fence. They know exactly how close they can safely get to the border. They have been great around people and other dogs (although, it takes Bailey a little while to warm up to other female dogs…she does fine with other male dogs.) Barney loves everybody and everything. He is still the big licker!!! They are both turning out to be terrific dogs and we appreciate all of your help in bringing them into our lives!!!
