I have two pups available. One male - Holloway. I held him back to see how he grew since he has always been such a beautiful pup. I have decided to let him go if the right home comes along. He has an easy going disposition, confident, eager to please. Typical male terrier and super easy on the eyes. Parents are OC and Cinder.

The other is Nevada. This was a personal litter that I kept two females out of to watch them grow. It was important to me to pick the right pup, and it was a hard decision. Nevada has beautiful expression just like her mom. She is confident, playful, energetic and will suit almost any type of home as long as she has an outlet such as hiking, sport etc.

Posting has not been a priority but it's time to get these two out there. PM me for more details 🤍

Goodbye to a whopping 8 puppies today! What a day. I also had an appliance delivery amongst the madness, and I snapped some new glamour shots of Poe to add to the website. Bella, now Stella, is going to a home only 20 minutes away. She may have a place in the program in the future, if she turns out how I expect. Bye for now pretty babies 📚🕰️ 🤍

Pictures are updated on the website, except for Poe because he decided to eat a bee on picture day (his glamour shot is at the end). This has been a fun couple of months. Although some medical concerns got in the way of documenting like I usually do, the puppies themselves kept my spirits up and my mind busy outside of regular family duties. Here are some wonderful moments the other day when I was finally able to pull out my camera and do what I love.

The next day was vet day! Poe was of course completely fine, so no worries there. They all did fantastically at the vet, and were quite the spectacle for onlookers. I wish I could add 25 more pics!! Link below:

My fave girlie suffered a degloving on the tip of her tail tonight. I have her on trazodone with a vet appointment in the morning. She's doing fine, but something like this likely cannot heal on its own. As I was cutting hair away and attempting to dress her wound, she was actively hunting with her eyes between my feet while patiently awaiting her release so she could hunt more thoroughly. If any dog would have benefit from a dock as a newborn, it's this girl. She hunts with a devil may care attitude. She will climb the walls. Through a tunnel (even a culvert), through scrap metal with 0 caution. We'll see what the verdict is tomorrow. I planned to do puppy pics tomorrow (final pics 🥺) but they may have to be pushed to Wednesday. Hoping for a good outcome for OC tomorrow. I'm thankful that I happen to wean her puppies around 4 weeks old so she is much stronger now than she would have been if she weaned when she wanted to (never). She has more strength for surgery this way, instead of her nutrients being taken nursing 9 puppies!

Anyway, this closes the midnight thoughts of a dog breeder 🖤
