We've Been Adopted!

I talked to Lost Paws today and Smokey and Darcy have both been adopted!! I am so happy to know they have found 4ever homes that will love them even though they have cataracts!

Darcy was the first born, 1 of only 2 girls. She was the one that alerted us to the fact that there was a problem. She has full cataracts in both of her eyes. While she was being fostered her foster family said she never acted different than the other puppies. She is well adjusted for being visually impaired! WTG Darcy! I hope you have a great life!

Smokey was the one we picked out for my father-in-law. When we had his eyes looked at he had a large cataract in his left eye and a smaller one in his right. I am hopeful that his right eye won't develop into full cataracts and that he is also happy in his new home! Smokey was one of our favorites! I am elated that he will be cared for by a loving family! Here's wishing you happiness Smokey!

The rest of the puppies are being fostered together and getting big! I hope they find 4ever homes soon as well. They all have a special place in our hearts and I hope they lead long and happy lives!

About Abby (mommy dog) and us

Abby is a 2 year old AKC German Shepherd. We bought Abby from a breeder in Salt Lake on Christmas Eve 2006 when we had to put our older German Shepherd, Junior, down because of health problems related to him having Parvo as a puppy. We have a son from him, Tegun, he is almost 8 years old and healthy as a horse! Abby was obviously the smallest from her litter, we had the chance to meet one of her litter mates, a male and he was gorgeous! And he was as big as Tegun. Her small size is a bit of a mystery to us, she is healthy, just small.

When we bought Abby we didn't have intentions to breed her, she was more of a companion for Tegun. Watching her grow and play we discovered that she is a really good dog. She has the best disposition ever. She lets the kids climb all over her and she never growls or even raises a lip in a snarl at them.

When Abby turned 2 we looked into breeding her with our male dog, Tegun. Come to find out they are COUSINS! Well we aren't able to do that, but at least we know she has good lineage.

Despite her small size we decided that her disposition would be a good trait to pass along.

Her mom was pure white AKC GSD and her dad was black with some brown markings AKC GSD, both parents were around 90-100 lbs and tall at the shoulder.

This is her first litter of puppies. We hope to keep in touch with most if not all of the future owners of her puppies to see how they turn out as far as temperament and size.
