Scamper is 12 weeks old now and is estimated to be between 7-9 lbs full grown. We are so excited to see what these two are full grown.

Emmi and Mocha are doing fantastic. They are such perfect little girls.

Hello Readers!

Everyone here is doing great. Little Scamper is such a joy to have. Remington is growing into such a beautiful girl. Mocha & Emmi are both doing fantastic.

Pet Food Horror - What's in the food? It's Soylent Green for Pets - Ingr...

Okay I agree this is NUTS

I had to read thing article (click here to view the article). I agree that this is nuts! Talk about trying to get people to buy a certain type/brand of dog food! I think it is great to sponor things but changing how people can feed their pets and slapping a logo on the patch now. That is ridiculous!

Maybe Purina can take all the money they will make off all thier advertising and make a QUALITY food! Now wouldn't that be a huge change.

Truth be known. If you want to feed your dog the best food for them do not shop at your local grocery store, walmart etc. Go to places like Bridger Feeds, Barkenhowls, Dee-O-Gee etc. You will find brands there you may have never heard of. Write the names down, go home, and do the research on every brand and decide which is better. That is how I found Nature's Logic and my dogs are doing excellent.

Pet food safety? Science Diet Plant Upgrade

I think that pet food manufactures should be showing us thier integrity as well. I really wish that places would just be honest and tell us what they are feeding our pets.

I feel for all the people who's pets got sick or died from all the bad food in 2007. At that time we were lucky with our dogs. but it could have very well been us had we fed a different food back then.

Hopefully the great upstanding companies that are out there will start sharing what is in our dog food, if it was cooked right, and where every ingrediant comes from.

Texas Puppy Mill Raid

I am disgusted that people would have these precious babies in cages! What kind of people make these dogs live like this 24/7. I think these people should be shoved in a tiny cage and have to spend years in their own filth and starve! Oh and don't forget, have their starving bodies produce babies they have to try and feed on nothing.

Movie "You Lucky Dog"

Well all in all I think it was a cute movie. I think they could have done a little better and made it seem more like they got a dog who had really been sitting in a shelter for a long time. As a lot of them do.

It really did not boast that much about the dog food till the end. Kinda like watching a dog show with Eukanuba and Iams. I think that the help pedigree does give dogs with their adoption drives and such is good. I have Pedigree Dog Drive as one of my likes on Facebook because I believe in what that is trying to do.

I will never feed their food to my Tzus and wish that a company like that would put more money into a good quality product. But why do that when you can make so much money doing what they are already doing.

For me I will stick with Nature's Logic.

Hallmark Movie seems like a pet food commercial

I got an email this morning and had to read the article. It is about the movie You Lucky Dog. I am glad that Hallmark and Pedigree got together to make a movie to maybe educate people on homeless pets, and I of course will DVR it. However if they think their food is the number 1 dog food in the WORLD that is a joke. Maybe they sell the most because it is cheap.There food does not give our 4 legged family members a healthy diet. Plus it contains carcinogens BHA and BHT.

I believe personally if we love our pets and want them around for a long time we should feed them just like we would feed our children. Do you sit your child down to breakfast with a candy bar or scrambled eggs? Which is better for them? We all know the scrambled eggs are better and no one gives their kid a candy bar for breakfast!

One of kids favorite foods is chicken nuggets. Watch this video here and see how they are made and what they are made of. I couldn't touch a chicken nugget if I wanted to! Well, I don't know about you but I think we should feed our children better then that. Just as I believe our dogs should be fed the very best diet.

When I purchase food I do not look at the price (minus if I can buy the same product cheaper at another store). I think quality will cost a little more. Look at it this way you can buy cheap food that is not good for your dog and end up paying vet bills because you had to save a couple bucks on food. Or you can pay for a quality diet and your dog will live longer and healthier.

All of these things are based on my opinion, from my own research. I think that everyone should do the research and see what is best in their opinion. I think you will find that it is better to feed quality food to our precious little family members.

Petsumer Report

I seen this on The Truth About Pet Food website. I find this very interesting and will be purchasing it myself. I thought some of you would be interested as well.

Meet Champ! Marc's mother sent me this picture of her little puppy @ 8 weeks old. Too cute

Hello Everyone,

Things around here are crazy as always. I hope that everyone had a Happy Father's Day!!!

There is a dog food being recalled ~ Natural Balance Pet Foods, Inc., of Pacoima, CA, announces a voluntary recall of Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Chicken Dry Dog Food with the "Best By" date of June 17, 2011, in 5-lb. and 28-lb. bags because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

I do not know who all feeds this but I hope everyone will pass along the information for every pets safety.

We have been busy~busy. Our kids and doggies sure keep us busy. Everyone is doing great. Andy is doing great and has turned out to be such a handsome guy. I think his color is beautiful. I shaved his head down and it is lighter but he is still such an awesome color to me. Remington is doing great! It has been so exciting to raise one of our own bred here girls. She is going to be such a beautiful girl all grown up. She appears that she will look like coffee creamer when she is al grown out. I am excited to see her all grown up.

Other then that not much has changed around here. Will post again when I have more time. Thanks

Hello everyone! Everything is great here in the Tzu world. Alpine & Ned have left to their new homes. It is always hard to watch them leave but knowing they are going to a great home helps. Remington & London are still here and just rambuctious as ever. They are just so fun at this age.
Mocha, Emmi, and Andy are all doing great. They are happy, healthy little Tzus. Chewbacca is doing great in his new home. We found him the best home he could ever ask for. I am just so glad that there are fantastic doggie people out there.

Well I better go for now, Thanks

Sorry that I have not taken the time to write any updates lately. Things have been so crazy around here. Mocha's beautiful puppies are going to be 7 weeks old Monday. It is so hard to believe they are getting closer to leaving. Well all except Remington, who is staying here with us. She is the first bred here puppy to stay and I am so excited!

Our Andy is growing and getting more handsome every day. He is short and should grow much taller than he already is. He might still put on a couple pounds but that is okay. I am very excited to see what he will throw us. He has an amazing background with some great breeders behind him. I am guessing he will throw some small standard and some a little smaller. I am excited to see the colors he will throw as well. When I register him I will be posting his pedigree for all to see.

Well I have to run my kidders to school but will try to keep up better.

It is so hard to beileve that Mocha's puppies will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. They are growing like weeds. That is my favorite thing about breeding. You get to see them as they are born. Hold them from the second they are born. Watch them grow from these tiny little things with their eyes and ears shut to these beautiful 8 week old puppies. It is just amazing. I love everytime I get updated pictures of our puppies and what they have grown to.

For me, I do it not for the money I do it for the love of the breed. They are a big part of our family. When we go camping in the summer they come with us. We even had 1 litter of puppies while we were camping! I do not know how our lives would be without them and I hope I never have to find out either.

Well I will sign off for now ~ Thanks

I am starting a new blog and I will try as much as I can to keep up and let you all know what is going on here in Montana. Things have been crazy with kids, dogs, and puppies. They all keep us on our toes.

We have sold all Mocha's puppies and are keeping Remington for our own breeding program. We are so excited to keep one of our own puppies! We will breed her with our new adorable stud Andy. I am so excited to see him grown as well.

Thanks ~ If you have any questions please feel free to email us at any time.

I am starting a new blog! Here I share all of my dog info that is going on.

I am changing the site around.......again I know. We are expecting puppies in Decemeber. We had planned on skipping Emmi this heat but Chewbacca and her had other plans. Let me tell you those denim diapers are NO GOOD!

So besides that, things are pretty crazy around here as always. I always love when it is the weekend! Piper is doing great. She is learning to go outside to go potty. Still some accidents in the house but not too much to complain about.

If anyone is interested in being on our waiting list for Emmi's babies please email me. MyShihTzus@aol.com I am doing a special price for people who get their deposits in early. I am offering 10% off the total price of the puppies.

I will try to keep up with my blog posts. Sometimes life does get crazy!
