Camelot Doxies: Diva & Merlin's Pups-born 7-27-06 Archives

Diva's puppies!.... 7-27-06

Like I said... Miss D had her puppies on 7-27-06 starting around 7pm. Since she was kind enough to have them in the evening versus 3am (*grin*), I was able to take more pictures. Pepper is notorious for "popping" her puppies out FAST & with great ease. I said last night that Pepper was like the lady who had quintuplets... very easy to pop those suckers out. (ha ha) Diva, on the other hand, gives us some times in between puppies so we can take pictures versus having speed delivery. :-) So, enjoy the pics...

It's an Isabella!! WOW!! 7-27-06

Lil' Isabella boy... This was a HUGE surprise for us. Diva's dad is an Isabella, so genetically it's very possible especially with Merlin being a blue. But... still... isabellas are still "rare" so to speak. Many people have never seen them let alone know that Isabella Doxies exist. Blues have become a bit more common. So, we were thrilled to see Mr. Issy Boy and GO DIVA!! :-) Oh.. and GO Merlin (but he had all the pleasure and none of the pain). :-)

It's a chocolate/tan dapple girl! YEAH!! 7-27-06

Issy%2520%2526%2520Choc%2520nursing%25207-27-06.jpg

All of the "Budah" tummy rubbing has paid off. :-) With each breeding,.... there is a story. :-) Hopefully, our friend Claudia is ok with us telling this story. Claudia raises dachshunds. In fact, here's her website.http://www.distinctivedachshunds.com She is who bred Merlin, so lil' Merlie is from her. :-) (His dad is Mudbug & mom is Josie) She also bred Diva (Her dad is Iceman & mom is Adalida "Addi"). Sad story: Lil' Miss Addi passed away a few months ago. Addi had a very unique Doxie personality and she definitely passed it on to Diva. Well, as time passed, Claudia really missed having Addi around. So, she e-mailed wondering if Diva would have puppies anytime soon. We were going to breed Diva to Rustin (BIG chance of choclates & isabellas there), but we gave that decision to Claudia. She said she would really like a Diva/Merlin baby. And... the rest is history... and Diva had a little choc/tan dapple girl just like we wished for so Claudia could have a little bit of Addi. :-) So, Addi will live on through this lil' girl and we have NO doubt that she will be as much of a handful as her grandmother & mom! :-) Not to mention her dad!!! :-) We told Claudia there was no pressure, so she might decide it's not time yet. We'll have to see. Either way, Diva did a GREAT job!

A Black & Tan???....7-27-06

Genetically, anything is possible, but we weren't expecting a black/tan. We figured Pepper takes care of that color just fine! :-) Technically, Blue/tan is a dilution of the black/tan gene. This little guy is a cutie!

A silver dapple.....7-27-06

Again... another surprise. :-) Go Diva! Give us a colorful litter! :-) Silver dapple-aka: Black/tan dapple.... so many different technical names... just one cute coat color. I kept joking that Mr. Sebastian was the daddy of these two. Nevermind that Sebby is neutered (He STILL refuses to admit to that!)

Wanna see another cute pic???....7-27-06

Silver%2520Dapple%2520sucking%2520on%2520leg%25207-27-06SM.jpg

Here's the little Silver dapple (aka Sebby Jr).. HA HA HA! Sebby Jr. came out of the womb just looking for some milk! HE WAS HUNGRY!! So hungry, that he had to resort to sucking on his leg while Kim was drying him off. Yes... Diva is a princess... She has the 2 of us by her side, devoting ALL attention to her. She seems to enjoy having Kim dry off the babies for her. She'll look at Kim to say "Is she/he doing ok?" and then go back to her babies that are nursing. Don't get me wrong, she cleans them, but I think she prefers having it done for her. Princess Diva... :-)

Mom... can you PLEASE put that camera away???....7-27-06

Diva%2520%2526%25204%2520pups%25207-27-06SM.jpg

Still waiting... there must be one more. These are HUGE puppies compared to Pepper's. It was getting late... Diva kept going to sleep... and I had "chores" to do. So, I would tell Diva, "Ok D, Mom has to go outside & give the horses some hay"... what would Diva do?? Have a contraction.... and then go back to sleep. Such a tease :-) So, I'd tell her again... and what would she do? Tease me again. Not that I was really going to go anywhere, but it was funny.

Not even a day old and they are already climbing over each other for the best place to nurse. :-)

ANOTHER Isabella!!....7-27-06

Diva%2520%2526%25205%2520pups%25207-27-06.jpg

WOW!!! We were in shock! It's a girl.... a little baby girl Isabella! Wow. At this point, lil' Miss Daisy KNEW something was going on in HER room. She KNEW IT! The whole time, she was scratching at the door, whinning... just being a spoiled little puppy having a temper tantrum at the door because SHE couldn't come in. Needless to say, Daisy snuck in quite a few times as I was coming in & out of the room!! She would RUN over to Diva and just lay down. She KNEW she shouldn't be in there, but she just had to see the puppies! I would prompty pick her up before Diva had a fit, and put her outside. She would squirm, wiggle, & whine in delight as I was carrying her especially once we got out to the other Doxies. It was like she was saying to Bella, "Mommy... Mommy... I saw the puppies! I did... I did. And there are 2 that look like us... I promise there are!" HA HA I would just tell Daisy... yep Daisy... those are your brothers & sisters.

Izzy%2520pup-cute%2520face%25207-28-06SM.jpg

I couldn't resist taking this picture! Does it get much cutier than this??? Here's one of the Izzy's. I didn't have the heart to wake him/her up find out which one. :-)

Diva's pups!....7-28-06

Here are Diva's puppies. What a colorful bunch! :-) These little ones are active & are moving around her welping box all of the time. Pepper's puppies always seem to stay in one place, but Diva's... they have to go in a box immediately otherwise they start traveling around the room! Within a day of being born, the silver dapple boy was "lost". We found him on the other side of the room. He was stopped by the dresser & the bookshelf. :-) The chocolate dapple female is already spoken for. If you read the other blogs on this litter, you will see that she is a special little girl. She is Claudia's little girl. :-) The rest of them are available. I will post more pics & prices. They are AKC registered.

The Milk Machine!!....7-28-06

Diva%2527s%2520pups%2520nursing%25208-11-06SM.jpg

Diva's puppies are always so big & full of energy. We often joke about Diva's magical milk of growth. :-) It's going to be hard to see all of these little ones go to their forever homes... We're going to miss them.

Duncan....8-21-06

Diva%3Bs%20blk-tan%20dapple%208-21-06.jpg

Here's Mr. Duncan posing for the camera. Diva's pups seem to be more laid back & calm than Pepper's pups. Just shows how their parents' personalities pass on. Pepper LOVES to give kisses & so does each & every one of her puppies! Merlin & Diva are more selctive with their kisses & so are their babies. Funny...

Trevor....8-21-06

Trevor.... what a cutie! He's much bigger than Pepper's black & tans. We let the 2 litters play together and we have to put a collar on Trevor so we can make sure we don't get anyone confused. :-)

Pearl....8-21-06

Little Miss Pearl! Wow... is she cute! :-) It's a good thing she's Merlin's baby as she will be wearing lots of sweaters where she is going. Cindy, Bret, and their children will be taking Pearl to Minnesota to live with them! Merlin LOVES to get dressed up, so let's hope Pearl loves it too because it's going to be cold up there!

Isabellas!....8-21-06

Here's the Isabella duo! :-) Brother & sister... always sleeping, cuddling, & playing together. :-) Pearl is on the right and her brother is on the left. he's a bit stockier & bigger than her. We still need to figure out a name for him. Right now, he's best known as "Handsome" :-)

Pearl went to her new home on Sunday...

Lil' Miss Pearl went to her new family on Sunday. Her new mom, Cindy, flew all the way down here from Minnesota!! That's a lot of puppy love bonus miles... ha ha. :-) We drove up to Dallas to meet Cindy and spent several hours with her at the Botanical Gardens in Grapevine, TX. WOW... what a beautiful place! We took Merlin & Diva with us (Pearl's parents). Merlin had a blast! He's Mr. Explorer and had a great time jumping on rocks and going through the plants & trees. There was a tour group who came by and I think that was the highlight of Merlin's day as each person would walk by, stop to see the 3 GORGEOUS Doxies, and, of course, pet them all. Merlin was the center of attention just like he thinks he should always be! Diva had a good time... she's not so much the explorer, but she enjoyed being there & hanging out with us. Pearl... she had fun too and really loves her new mom! We had a great time visiting with Cindy & I might just have to take her up on visiting some time! :-) After talking via email for so long, it was great to finally meet her! Pearl did great on the airplane and I'm sure melted the hearts of many along the way... Pearl has a fantastic new family. I think they might need to build a little closet for her as she'll need some good doggie clothes to keep her warm up there! I'm sure, her big sister, Megan, will take care of that! :-) We'll miss Pearl and we look forward to watching her grow up via email.
We also took some pics of Merlin, Diva, and a family pic. Here they are...

What a handsome boy!

Merlin "The Explorer"

Warning: Telling Merlin he's so cute on the puppy blog WILL inflate his ego far beyond that of Sebastian's and our house isn't big enough to deal with both of their inflated "star" egos because they are on the web!... ha ha :-)
Oh... and yes, Merlin is wearing his clothes... it's a Halloween "Bad to the Bone" bandana. Merlin LOVES dressing up!!

Thumper goes to his new home....10-1-06

Our little Izzy boy went to his new home on 10-1-06. Since I'm a bit behind on the blog... I can now say that they have called him Thumper. :-) Why Thumper?? Because he's just like his daddy, Merlin, and his grandpa, Mudbug, and Merlin's babies.... they like to do this hip-hop bark thing. They hop up and down (back legs on the floor... front legs up & down) and bark while their ears are flapping. This is the family's way of saying... I"M HERE!! Pay attention to ME and love on ME! :-) It's the cutest thing that some personality traits are passed on from generation to generation. Oh... and Merlin & his babies LOVE to prance! :-)
Izzy2%209-19-06.jpg

Lynda & her family have some gorgeous & very entertaining Doxies that will keep this little guy on his toes. We went over to her house to drop Thumper off and had a great time playing with her dogs & snuggling with Thumper's future girlfriend, Squeaky. Lynda even sent us a new pic of him (see below). She says he's quite the cuddle bug. We look forward to seeing him grow-up as he will be quite handsome!

Trevor...AKC registered...$250 (pet price)

Hey everyone!!! I'm Trevor... the only black & tan out of Merlin & Diva's litter. Yep... that's right... Merlin is my daddy... which means you are in for a rather entertaining puppy right here. My daddy passes along some funny little personality traits. I'm the only pup left from my litter... I had one sister (Pearl: Isabella/tan) go to Minnesota and a brother (Dunkin: Silver dapple) go to NY. My brother, Thumper (Isabella/tan) and sister, Abbi (Choc/tan dapple) are still in the Houston area. Since my daddy is blue & my mommy is out of an Isabella, genetically, anything is possible if you are interested in having me as a stud. Rules are... I have to be your pet first... and the stud job... well.. that's just an added bonus! :-) I can also be neutered before I come home to you, if you would like. My parents are pretty cautious about who we all go to... they spend a lot of time getting to know everyone so they know we will be loved without a shadow of a doubt! :-) So... if you're looking for a puppy who will cuddle up with you one minute & entertain you the next... Here I am!! :-) (Please inquire for breeder price)
