Ziggy & Gracie's kids have all found their wonderful new homes.  Please enjoy the updated pictures of the kids supplied by their families as they grow up.
 
 
Gracie delivered 6 babies,  2 boys (2 black tris) and 4 girls (1 black tri, 3 blue merles), the evening of May 11th. 

 
 
**Puppy Puzzle Update**
 
6 of 6 puppies puzzled as Show Quality and Chena, Cooper and Nala also puzzled as "Specials"!  It's very uncommon to have one puppy in a litter puzzle as a specials -- three is pretty unbelievable!  We are very proud of our girl who is such a fantastic mom.  Once again, a huge thank you to Denise Hillman (www.lebraahaussies.com) for allowing us to use Ziggy in this cross!

These babies received the Early Neurological Stimulation recommended by Dr. Battaglia and used by the  US Army for "superdogs".  If you'd like, you can read more here:  (http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/breeding/ensp.htm)

Katie

fka Bella

Blue Merle Female    

Bella has moved to Southern California to live with Melinda, Magic and Auntie Robin (Gracie's littermate!).  She's excited to try out her skills in agility and flyball when she gets a little older.  We couldn't have asked for a better home for Little Miss Queen B!

Bella is an active, spunky & friendly girl with flair.   She's the smallest girl, with only Sidney behind her in size.   She is quite pleased with herself 90% of the time... the other 10% she's likely sleeping.

Bella was given her name by her big brother, Brady's family.   The inspiration for her name comes from the beautiful bluebell flowers.  We think it fits her very well!

Sidney

Black Tri Boy   11.993 oz at birth

Sidney is heading to Southern Oregon to join Len and Kathryn as their beloved boy.  Sidney is hoping to one day help Kathryn in her work with abused children.  He may be small, but his heart is big and we hope that he is one day a successful therapy dog!

Big brother, Boomer's family named this little guy, Sidney.  Not for Sidney, Australia, but for Sidney, BC and Sidney Crosby, the Canadian hockey player!  You may say, Sidney fits him to a "T".  =)

Ruthie

FKA Pearl

Black Tri Female     10.935 oz at birth

Ruthie is joining Bridge-it to be the beloved best friend of Steve and Kelly in Bend, Oregon.  They plan to take her everywhere with them and that is definitely on the list of her favorite things!

Pearl has received her name from her big sister, Chelsie's family.  Pearl is a name that was considered for Chelsie as they live on the water.  Her little bit of white on her face also reminded them of a pearl.  We couldn't love our little black Pearl any more. =)

Kendra

fka Chena

  Blue Merle Female    

Kendra has made her way down to Southern California to become Vicky's new friend and agility hopeful.  She gets to go to wonderful classes and even goes to school with Vicky to entertain the kids between on breaks.

Chena was given her name by her big brother, Ryker's, family.  They live in Alaska and a special place for them is the Chena Hot Springs.  It is breathtakingly beautiful there and she definitely lives up to it! http://chsr.squarespace.com/photo-gallery/.
