Siri and Hara's mating went fabulous!

We have just returned from Wisconsin from the mating of Perpetually Sirius (Siri) and Hara Ki! We are so excited to report that the mating went really well. Siri and Hara are both just stunning dogs to look in their conformation and fun and exciting dogs to interact with in their temperament. We will know shortly if the pregnancy will be confirmed... We thank all that continue to watch and express interest in this breeding- we are optimistic and are anticipating a beautiful litter full of puppies.
On a side note... we were also thankful to have an doggie playdate with Joyce and Pat and their two dogs on Sunday, December 26! It made our Christmas holiday to see all five dogs enjoying the snow and interacting with each other. It brought new meaning to "dashing through the snow..". Everyone had a smile on their face...thank you to Joyce, Pat, Ryka and Kai!

Hara Ki is ready to breed again!!

Hara Ki is currently being tested to determine when we travel to Wisconsin to mate with Perpetually Sirius (Siri) in Wisconsin! This will be a fantastic breeding and the puppies will be gorgeous! Siri won the best open dog competition at Entlefest 2010 this year and is an up and coming new stud dog to NEMDA BCOE breeding. We are thinking that the breeding will occur on or near Christmas Eve/day and be born near Valentine's day. All we can say so far is Hara is choosing the holidays for her "special events" so they must be "celebration/party" puppies coming our way. We are all soooooo excited here at NorthStar! We will let you know more when we travel.....

All the puppies have gone to forever families!

All of the puppies have gone to forever families! We have been so blessed to find great families for each of the puppies from this litter. We continue to enjoy hearing from everyone sending updates and pictures of how the puppies are doing in their "new" homes! Hara Ki (mother) continues doing fantastic rearing the puppy that we kept from this litter (Aria of NorthStar).
Aria is learning the ropes and boundaries from Hara and Gemma (our oldest entle) and is practicing her new skills each and everyday.

We are planning our next litter in the Fall of 2010 and are currently accepting applications for our waiting list. If you are interested please email or call us... We would be happy to talk to you about our "entle" family...... Thank you- Tom and Debra

Play, Play, Play and more play!

The puppies continue to play and learn with each other everyday. The have started to socialize with people other than their family and are loving every minute. The new pictures on the blog were taken today with some of their favorite toys... they are having so much fun!

The puppies are five weeks old today!

The puppies are getting bigger by the day... It is so fun to see them interact as littermates. They now have teeth and are coming into their voices. They growl, bark , yipe and are very "vocal" in their play. It is fun to watch them play with their toys. They are rolling balls around, shaking toys from side to side, carrying toys from one place to another and think that they are "hot stuff". Their personalities are starting to emerge and it is neat to see who is assertive, shy, calm, curious, bold, persistent, playful or a combination of them all rolled into one. Hara Ki continues to be a "super mom" and encourages all of them to play. Both of our entles bring their toys to the puppies as incentives to play with them. More pictures and updates to come... We will be posting some pictures with family and friends soon as well as individual pictures of the puppies. Stay tuned.....
