We have been busy as bees all summer and are full (again). Miss Princess's puppies are coming available for adoption, since she had six and we were unsure of breed we had a DNA test done. The results were surprising. We knew mom was a small breed mix, Lhasa Apso, and had all sorts of guesses as to what she was a mix with, poodle, shih tzu etc, it seems she is Lhasa and Cocker. Not one that was guessed. Even more surprising was the babies it appears she bred with a full Keeshond. So the puppies are 1. Keeshond  2. Lhasa Apso and 3. Cocker Spaniel. This certainly explains their wonderful thick soft coats and friendly outgoing personalities. These are three pictures of Keeshonds taken from the web for those who are unfamiliar with the breed.

A member of the spitz group of dogs, the Keeshond in American Kennel Club (AKC) standard is 17 inches (43 cm) to 18 inches (46 cm) tall and 19.25 inches (48.9 cm) ± 2.4 inches (6.1 cm) in the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) standard and weighs 35 pounds (16 kg) to 45 pounds (20 kg).

 Her pups should all be of medium/small size, five are male one is female and three have the thick coat. This is a picture of Princess and her pups when they were eighteen days old:
They will be eight weeks old Saturday, September 15 and available for adoption. Updated pictures will be posted on the web once they are fully available for adoption (immunization/deworm etc).
