Well, we have survived morning (all day) sickness! It usually occurs around the 4th week and Sunny is always on time for everything. She was a little listless, and off her food. But a sure sign of recovery (in dogs it doesn't last but a few days) is her desire for a snack in the middle of the night in addition to her regular meals!!! I am certain some of you know how she feels or knows someone who does ha ha! Last week I could really feel the babies - little walnut size bumps. You have to feel very carefully or you can injure the pups in that stage. After this week the fetal sac will fill with fluid and you can't feel them the same way.
Sparkle is growing fast - she has growth spurts that seem to hit overnight! She weighs almost 9 pounds with some of that still baby fat. Her first AKC dog show is in July. She had to wait until she was 6 months old which was last week. She and Wally are going to strut their stuff.
Keep checking the blog for updates and we should have some new pictures of our friendly bichon pack for you soon! Become a follower and you will receive a notice of new posts automatically.

Those of us who are reputable breeders should not be lumped with puppy mills and pet stores. We lovingly raise our puppies in our homes with our families - not in barns or (for dogs such as bichon frise) outside kennels. Help us protect our right to sell well socialized, healthy AKC registered darlings.

Pregnancy update
Sunny is expecting around the 15th of July! We have lots of people who are interested in her babies. She is feeling very good, and loves to have her belly rubbed! :-) She is usually around 11 pounds, but just before the puppies are born she will balloon up to 16 or 18 pounds - some of us have done that ha ha! Wally is a proud expectant dad and is very careful to check and see how she is doing. Sparkle is their constant companion and she is growing like a little bichon weed! Pictures to come after grooming this week!
