Mom and puppies will be ready for adoption on 3/27/10

RubyDee's litter born on January 29th is rapidly approaching their adoption date... Both RubyDee and her litter of three will be spayed (or neutered in the case of JerryLee and JohnnyCash) on Tuesday, March 23rd... They will all be ready for adoption on the weekend of March 27th... As puppies go VERY fast because everyone wants a puppy, please make sure to get your adoption application in NOW and faxed to us ahead of time (805-578-2604)...

RubyDee is VERY, VERY friendly and outgoing... She is very well mannered and behaved... She's been a great mom to her pups as well... Nothing much throws RubyDee - she rolls with just about every new situation and would probably be fantastic in a home with children and a lot of ongoing activity, but also as a solo companion to someone who is at home and wants a loving dog of a larger size (RubyDee is 13-14 pounds)... She's either a Manchester Terrier or a Chi-Weenie for she is very heavy-footed like Doxies are... She has no Terrier qualities, so we consider her a Chi-Weenie... Has few Chihuahua qualities either, but that is what the shelter labeled her...

The largest puppy in the litter is now JohnnyCash - he is primarily black but has exceptionally LONG hair, unlike his two siblings... Almost Border Collie long and lush, in fact... For those that know our TLC mascot, Nacho, he would be a close match if they were together... We expect JohnnyCash to grow to the size of his mom, but again, without knowing who the father is, there is telling or guarantee of eventual size... Despite the angle of the picture above, JohnnyCash is almost twice the size of his brother, JerryLee...


JerrryLee and JuneCarter look the most alike with the collars of white but they are more shorthaired than their bigger brother... JerryLee has his mom's tan eyebrow markings... And these two have 'found their voices' much quicker than their bigger brother, so we may have two fathers in this litter...

While JerryLee is bigger than JuneCarter who is VERY petite, neither puppy is large so we are asking homes interested in either one of these puppies have neither toddlers nor large dog companions...

JohnnyCash has been nicknamed "Moose" by us because he is just a big, fluffy teddy bear... He has the most settled personality in the bunch, whereas JuneCarter is a bit of a prima donna at times... JerryLee is the more adventurous of the bunch, but all three are guaranteed tail waggers as soon as they are picked up to be cuddled...

We have held these pups since they were but minutes old and all three have gotten their mom's loving and even keeled personality... While they will use the training pads, they are NOT housebroken yet.

Puppies will be up-to-date on their shots and microchipped, spayed or neutered prior to adoption... They will need their rabies at 4 months and to be licensed... RubyDee will be up-to-date on her shots, spayed, microchipped and licensed prior to adoption...
