    My wife is seriously considering giving up all of the spitz puppies (and Ginger) and keeping Artemis.

      I'm happy and sad right now.
      Thursday - Artemis may go to her new home.
      Friday or Saturday - Athena may go to her new home.

      So for the next week we'd just have Apollo (looks like I"m taking him to work next Monday). Apollo will go to his new home either on black Friday or the Saturday after.

      I'll miss them sometimes I wish I could keep them but then I get reminded that they'll grow into good sized shepherds.

        My wife was told last night (during the puppy evaluation) that she was crazy to give the male to a pet home, she was even told to give the deposit back and keep him but she isn't going to do that.

        Pictures updated, too.

        Apollo has the blue collar
        Artemis has the green collar
        Athena has the red collar

          He IS handsome!

          Why aren't you keeping a Shepherd pup? Isn't the point of breeding your own that you get to make your next show dog yourself?
          My basic dog food advice - send a pm if you need more.

            We have no room for a dog right now, 5 dogs in our townhouse is a bit much and *I* can't take care of 6 dogs.

            My wife knows, though, if she wants to kep one then the spitz and all of the puppies can't stay.

            This was also a post-pyo breeding (the choices were either breed her or spay her). Also, we have a good idea on what genes may come out and my wife's friends are helping her find good studs for her next breeding (after she is titled - maybe a year away?).

                Sorry for the quick post.

                Athena was picked up last night, she is now in the Orlando area with her new family. They want to do schutzhund and search&rescue with her so this will be good.

                They took her because she is larger than Artemis (stronger for packs) and more reserved which means she won't go springing into harm's way (rock slide, etc..) in a way that Artemis might. Even though she isn't as confident as Artemis, that can be worked on with a lot of play, tugging, and just general positive reinforcement.

                (This lady also got screwed by an unethical breeder with a "non refundable" deposit - meaning even if the breeder didn't have a dog for them, they didn't get their deposit back).

                My wife's friends are sad to see that Apollo is going to a pet home. He is beautiful (structurally) and has an incredible temperament. They say he needs to go to a show home but my wife has already promised these people Apollo and she hates to go back on her word (plus we have a deposit for him).

                    Close to correct. "pet home" meaning she'll be a pet and must be spayed (or neutered for the boys). We sell "pets" at half the price we would to a show home. This means that our name won't be on any unapproved breedings.

                    A pet home CAN work their dog and compete in obedience, schutzhund, etc.. they just cannot show it in confirmation (because it is fixed) or breed it.

                          Wel, Sara (my wife) is trying to think over Artemis. She has an incredible temperament (and is considered by many people to be the second best puppy in the litter). She may ship Kiri overseas to be trained, titled (BH, SchH1, even get an SV rating on her) and possibly bred (shipped home pregnant for us to whelp the litter).

                          My wife is worried that if anything happens to her or, if for some reason, she can't have any more babies, she wants to have Artemis on "the ready" to take over.

                          Artemis would also make a good service dog for Sara.

                            If that most recent puppy (the like mother / like daughter) puppy is Artemis? I WANT HER!!!!! She's precious.

                            We're actually discussing getting a dog. I might have to PM you with some questions about larger breeds (I love shepherds!) and when we should adopt...

                              Apollo went to his home yesterday morning and the family absolutely loves him (plus he gets along very well with their other puppy).

                              So, it's just Artemis now (we're renaming her to River, though).

                                Athena had her first Seiger show yesterday where she and the owners were able to meet with Fred Lanting (GSD expert) his comments on her:

                                great temperment
                                good feet
                                good knuckles
                                good proportions
                                short upper arm
                                croup (sp?) steep, but adequate in length at this time
                                Shallow forechest
                                Normal bite
                                slightly cow-hauked (sp?)
                                Nice top line.
                                this dog has great temperment

                                And the German judge's critique:
                                good expression, good movement, slightly over on steep

                                (That's all they could get but they should get a written version soon).

                                She also got a "very promising" rating.

                                A lot of people at the show LOVED her - she was one of the most popular puppies there.

                                I do have pics, I'm just waiting for the owner's permission to post them on the internet.
