Going home

My 007 litter has flown the nest...mostly.  After struggling for weeks to think of a litter theme, I was watching tv when...WHAM, it hit me.  James Bond Movies.  All my pups have registered names that are 007 movies.  This was a great litter and I am sad to se them go.  They were so consistent in terms of temperament and conformation.  It was a very tough litter to evaluate!
 Mr. Green is now Moonsong Goldeneye and is in a breed potential home in Florida
 
 Mr. Red is now Moonsong Quantum of Solace and is in a breed potential home in Washington.  He lives with his grandpa Aspencreek Jackson and his aunt Big Sky Laly.  He also has a new "littermate"- young Chesney, who obviously is quite pleased with her new puppy.
Here is Mr. Red with Grandpa Jackson

Week 5 and 6

The pups have been so much fun these last two weeks.  I have been able to spend lots of time with them as I had a horrible ear, sinus, and respiratory infection at the same time and was off work for over a week.  The pups helped me get out of bed!  It was during this bed rest that I had my Eureka moment in terms of litter theme.  This litter will be my 007 litter.  All the pups will be named after James Bond movies.  The owners will get to pick their movie ( with a couple exceptions...I doubt AKC will view Octopussy favorably as a name!)  This has been one of my best litters in terms of ease of care.  They are all so friendly and bold and very consistent in temperament.  new people- no problem, shiny floors- no problem, stairs- no problem.  The pups had two nice days in the sun playing in the front yard before being banished to the backyard after Miss Yellow decided passing cars were very interesting!  Safety first.
Mr. Green is very curious about the camera
