its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

okay, so maybe with the 90 degree weather here this ohio october it
isn't exactly looking like Christmas...BUT it is we are beginning to
think about Christmas here...

why?

because we are having CHRISTMAS PUPPIES!!! no, not the kind that are
born on Christmas, but the kind that are ready to go to their new home
on Christmas! is that good timing or what?!?!?

our lovable miss jetti is about a week away from giving birth to her
first litter of pups...she is waddling around the house and breathing
hard. i feel for her...it just hasn't been that long since i was in a
similiar boat. she has gotten so huge over the past couple of days,
that i was starting to worry... sure. we intentionally bred her to our
own beautiful stud dog who is a comparable size, but pocket beagles
normally have very small litters and girlfriend is getting HUGE. i
started wondering if somehow she had just three very large puppies
growing inside of her and i started to worry that she might not fair
well trying to pass those potential very large puppies. so today shawn
and i took her to the vet. he took blood and did a physical and told
us she looked great and that she has the most perfect temperment (we
knew that part already *grin*) then he did an xray so that we could be
sure she didn't have just a few enormous and hard to birth pups.

and she didn't have enormous pups... or just a few.

he counted EIGHT PUPS.

he said he was certain there were a minimum of EIGHT, but that he
couldn't rule out the possibility of a few more hiding in the shadows.

WOW.

so not only will we have beautiful Christmas pups but we will have a
minimum of EIGHT BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS PUPS.

so we are working on a site and will get some pics as soon as they
come. (we can't wait! SO excited!)

we are also starting a waiting list. just in case you are interested
(some of you have contacted us before, please do again!) or know
someone who is...

miss jetti is the mamma... she is a tri-color (black, white, tan) 11"
tall beagle whose tan coloring is almost blond. she is the most
loving, cuddly dog we have. she likes to follow you around and then
find her way into your lap when you sit. but don't think that doesn't
mean she wants to play at the park! she has the perfect medium
personality! here's a pick of her as a little pup and one more recent
photo (i will get a preggo pic up soon!):






tucker is the stud muffin pappa... a true chocolate beagle, tucker is
almost all brown..his head is blonder and he has two white toes and a
little white mark on his chest. he has green eyes, which is unusual
for a beagle. tucker is also 11" tall. he is much more shy and timid
than the rest of the dogs, but boy does he like to run! he has been a
heartbreaker since the day we got him..everyone wants to love on him,
but he makes you work for it! here's a puppy pic and a recent one:




miss jetti and tucker's pups have the potential to be tri-color, black
and tan, blond and white, or chocolate! but whatever color and
markings they have, they are certain to have their parents' wonderful
temperments!

we are starting a WAITING LIST, so if you are interested, please EMAIL
ME. i would love to talk to you through the process... all i need is a
deposit ($50) and your name and gender/color preference. we will work
on a first come, first serve basis. i will make a list of names in the
order that i receive deposits and confirmation and then once the pups
are born, i will let the first person on the list choose their pup
first and seond and third and so on... if you put down a deposit and
then don't get a pup (because we don't have what you want or because
you were the 5th one to choose and wanted only a female but then all
the females were gone (or something of the like)), of course we will
refund your $50.

interested? have questions? EMAIL ME @ pocketbealges@gmail.com
