Frenchie Walk - Sunday, July 5 at 2 pm View Larger Map |
We just got back from a 3-day mini-vacation with Phoenix and Maxx in Ocean Park, Washington.
It was Frenchie heaven -- cool weather, and miles and miles of beaches to run.
Cutter, 4-1/2 months old.
For Father's Day, Zipper let his dad Maxx play with all the toys.
Lacey showed beautifully at her first puppy match on Saturday.
She won Best of Breed over her litter mates and went on to win a Non-Sporting Group 2.
On Sunday she won an Non Sporting Group 3.
The puppies are 4 months old and will be going out to some puppy matches soon.

Luna-Maxx puppies
Born February 9, 2009
Zipper is turning into a confident, sociable, and very handsome boy.
Ti and Button take a moment from playing in the yard to pose for a photo.
Our lovely big boy in a quiet moment of contemplation...
And who to jump on next?
Who needs washboard abs when you
can have washboard buns?
This is the first week that the puppies have been outside,
and they're having a ball.
Hmmm... Maybe it's not such a good idea to give the puppies socks to play with.
Tahoma's Cut It Up ("Cutter") looks the most like his father Maxx.
He's very self assured and expects lots of attention.
Tahoma's Tie It Up ("Ti") reminds us that it's the quiet ones you need to watch out for.
He's turning into a good-natured, well put together Frenchie
who we think will have good show potential.
Tahoma's Button It Up ("Button") is cute as a...well, you get the idea.
She's a sassy little girl who more than holds her own when playing with the bigger boys.
She seems to be everyone's favorite puppy in the litter.
Tahoma's Lace It Up ("Lacy") finally got both her ears up just a few days ago!
She can be a bit shy at first, but she's also playful and even mischevious, and is especially affectionate.
Tahoma's Zip It Up ("Zipper") is the most independent puppy in the litter.
He's very curious, and sometimes prefers to play on his own.
The puppies will be 7 weeks old in a few days and are enthusiastically
exploring the world outside their pen.
Play hard, sleep hard.
Six weeks old, and 9 out of 10 ears up!
Today's weights:
Larger (darker) cream boy: 4 pounds 15 ounces
Smaller (lighter) cream boy: 4 pounds 6 ounces
Brindle boy: 4 pounds 3 ounces
Brindle girl: 3 pounds 15 ounces
Fawn pied girl: 3 pounds 1 ounces
The puppies continue to develop their own, individual personalities.
They're spending a lot more time playing with each other and with toys.
At 5-1/2 weeks of age, we have 7 of 10 ears up.
Today's weights:
Larger (darker) cream boy: 4 pounds 4 ounces
Smaller (lighter) cream boy: 3 pounds 13 ounces
Brindle boy: 3 pounds 13 ounces
Brindle girl: 3 pounds 7 ounces
Fawn pied girl: 2 pounds 13 ounces
The brindle boy and girl are very sweet, quiet and self-assured.
As the puppies approach 5 weeks of age, we're beginning to see distinct personalities.
Sleeping buddies.
