Our Dog Kennel is Almost Done!

We now have our dog kennels framed and rocked in! PTL!! We were able to get the rock for $14.00 a truck load! Now all we have left is to get the roof over the kennels. It is covered by shade trees already, but now have rock that is easy to wash down and keep very clean for our breeding dogs.

Update on Our Puppies

Our Petite LeFleur puppies are now 5 & 6 weeks old, and about ready for their first set of puppy shots and wormings. 3 pups are spoken for already! PTL!! If you are also interested, please email me at: quiverfullof9@yahoo.com

A Loss & A Birth

Sadly, one of Hailey's baby puppies, the extreme party blue merle little boy, died this morning. (See the picture of the whitest pup below.) His mama must have known something was wrong with him as she kept pushing him away from the other two and pushing him toward the back of their bed. Try as I might, I couldn't keep him alive. :+( However, another PLF dog of mine, Holli, had 2 babies herself this morning! They are beautiful and doing well! I also have another dog in season to be bred! PTL!!!! God is good!

2 New Litters of Puppies

We were blessed last night with 2 beautiful litters of Petite LeFluer puppies! What a blessing to have 8 total, as often times our small breed dogs don't have any more than 1 - 3 each. While it required my staying up till almost 3 a.m., and sitting on the floor between both of the Mamas, I am blessed to have 8 healthy pups, and all that lived!!

Hailey's pups - 2 girls, 1 boy (the blue merle pup)

Lena's pups - 3 girls, 2 boys

My Breeding Dogs

These are my adult breeding dogs. 5 are Petite LeFluers, 1 chocolate toy poodle, and 1 Pomeranian. The good Lord willing if the next few days are like the last two days, I will have 3 - 4 litters due late May!! Petite Lefluers, commonly known as pomapoos, is a new breed of dog that we are working on our 3rd, 4th and 5th generations of to "officially" have a new breed. We also are registering each of our dogs, and their puppies, with the PLF Registry. Check out our new site when you have an opportunity. http://www.plfregistry.com/

Row 1 = Snapper - male PLF, Leon - male PLF, Cinnamon - Chocolate female Toy Poodle
Row 2 = Daffey - female PLF, Hailey Sue - Blue Merle female PLF

Row 3 = Holli - female PLF, Lena - female Pomeranian

Ashley Biggest & Smallest Dogs

The Saint Bernard is Bo, and this tiny pom-a-poo is Shelby (named after the town we live in). Our daughter, Ashley, was there when this tiny baby was born. She and her brother both survived, but I believe that their mother didn't make it when delivering her third baby? Ashley took on bottle feeding the two babies left, but Shelby's tan baby brother died of hydrocephalus at 4 weeks of age. However, Shelby is very much alive and well at 7-weeks-old. She has just started getting some of her baby teeth, and though she eats canned puppy food, she still takes a bottle twice a day. She finally weighs about 6 oz., whereas Bo weighs about 180 lbs. Big difference, huh?

Our Dogs Are Here At Home Now!!

Yesterday we were able to bring our breeding dogs home after two very long months of waiting. We are all so happy to have them here! We have missed seeing them and playing with them so much! Long story short, after our son-in-law's mother tried to cause us much grief in several areas when the kids first talked divorce (which is no longer their plan), his mother was then determined to close down my new dog breeding business before I even got my feet wet (she didn't like the idea of "our" grandson being raised around dogs, especially ones for dog breeding, though she has never stepped foot on any of our properties in the 5 years time we have known them to even know what she is talking about), we decided to send the dogs to stay with a friend of ours, and started applying for everything we could to make it safe for the dogs to be here and not be doing anything that she could use against us. We got a Kennel License, even though the man who came out from the Dept. Of Agriculture didn't see our need to have one yet. And, even though we are already zoned for farmland, cows, horses and pigs where we live, we even went before the Board of the Zoning and Planning Commission and requested that my dog breeding business be added to the zoning area. PTL the board voted a unanimous yes to it, even though, as one member put it, "It is silly to have to do this." It has been a very costly endeavour for all of this as each individual application costs between $40.00 - $260.00, it will be well worth it to know that we are covered 100% in any way that we can think of. Our dogs had all been licensed (even dual licensed in the same county), had their vaccinations all up-to-date, etc., but none of that mattered to our SIL's mother as she considers "dogs to be dirty animals." His family will not like knowing that I have chosen to still pursue this business, but there is nothing else that can say about it that will change my mind. The Lord blessed us with Sheeba, our pet Yorki-Poo, having a litter of two pups ready to sell just at the time we needed the money to do all of this. He is so good!! I am blessed that He has granted us his favor in all of this, and that things have gone well for us. I am wanting a small hobby business, and to breed tiny little dogs around 6 lbs. in size when full grown, not to build a whole new building and have several hundred large breed dogs!! BUT, PTL, God knows the desires of our hearts, and has blessed us!

So, welcome all to my 'official' dog breeding business,

"Heaven's Tiny Petals."

(The Chihuahuas pictured are not mine, but our daughter's dogs.)

Our Daughter Joins My Dog Breeding Business!

Our 3rd oldest daughter, Ashley, has decided to join me in my dog breeding business - by breeding Chihuahuas!! She has been blessed with two little chihuahua puppies (sisters) who are very sweet, loving little pups. She is looking forward to breeding them in the near future.
