Our pups and the new families…

We are so happy to introduce 7 new families! Skye is still not placed due to a grade 2 heart murmur. It will very likely be cleared up by 4 – 6 months but it’s still a step for any family to take. We really want her settled soon with a great family. So if you hear of someone who is looking for a puppy and might be a good candidate let us know! We want what’s best for skye! ❤️ 

Tasha is now Izzy (Izabella of proud foot) is home with Gavin and Ashley from Blackwood NJ. She is so spoiled and loved! I’m so happy for her!They sent me this pic of her the other day… adjusting well to her new environment. 

Chase who is now called Harley (registered name Coming) went to live with Nelson and Jessica Beachy and thier 3 adorable kids. He is very well loved and has acres to roam. They live in Winfield Pa and hope to use Harley for small scale breeding if he passes his clearances. 

Everest now goes by Ellie (Eleanor Rigby Gott of Proud Foot). She is very loved by Linda Gott and her family! They are from Wilmington DE. She is making herself right at home these days!😍 

Marshall now is called Nick (Nicholas of proud foot creams). He went to live with a wonderful retired couple named Philip and Joanne Robeson from woodbine NJ. They travel all the time in thier RV and their dogs go with them. How fun is that?😊 Needless to say Nick will have a very good life. 

Rockie is now Elton (Elton Early of proud foot). He went home with Debby Early, a sweetheart from Edgewater MD. Let’s just say Debby and her family spoil him so bad and send us lots of pictures of him (which we adore). What a lucky pup!

Rubble who is keeping his name the same went to live with the Jen and Rick Bailey in Malvern PA. They are a lovely young couple who stopped in often to visit while rubble was here and we loved getting to know them. Rubble is so loved by them. And thier whole family. What s lucky pup! 

Last but not least Angie now called Indie. She went to live with Sybil Kessinger from MD. Sybil is a PE teacher and my kids adored her. We know Indie has the best life and is loved to bits! 

6.5 weeks and MOVING!

Such a fun time around here.  Yesterday it was hot so we got the kiddy pool out for them.  Well… it wasn’t a great idea because they just got wet (they didn’t last long in it anyway) and then got super dirty. 😀 Then a sweet young couple named Gavin and Ashley stopped in to visit and even tho the pups were looking like little drown rats or piggies they loved them and are taking a little girl home in a few weeks.  We haven’t confirmed yet which girls go where yet but we should know soon!  🙂  But they boys are all confirmed!  Marshall is the only one that hasn’t been picked out yet.  And I’m sure the perfect family is out there somewhere.

This is Rubble…  I say he is the shyest and most chill of them all.  But then … that might just be because he was more tired every time we hang out. LOL.  Really though… he is always yawning.  He is going to live with Rick and Jen Bailey from Malvern PA.  They are a wonderful young couple with lots of experience with Goldens and they love Rubble so much already.  And they are keeping his name Rubble.  It just fits him. 🙂

IMG_4571IMG_4570little stinker got a dirty nose and I didn’t notice it until I was going through these pics. 🙂 IMG_4568

This is Skye… She is the big girl and so so cuddly.

IMG_4565IMG_4563IMG_4562IMG_4561IMG_4560IMG_4558IMG_4557

This is Tasha.  She has a distict little line down her face that’s so adorable.  I love it that there is a marking I can always go by if I’m in a pinch.  She isn’t the smallest girl but a close runner up. IMG_4555IMG_4554

Chase is going to live in Mifflinburg PA with Nelson and Jessica Beachy and their kids.  He will be their pet but they also hope to use him for breeding if he passes his health screenings in a few years.  He is such a lucky pup! IMG_4526IMG_4525IMG_4524IMG_4523IMG_4522IMG_4521IMG_4520

Everest… Our smallest girlie.  She doesn’t miss a beat tho and is just SO cute!  Adorable dainty features. IMG_4519IMG_4517IMG_4515IMG_4517IMG_4519

Marshall… isn’t he just the cutest little guy you ever saw? He is the smallest of the boys at this point but I don’t think he will be for long.  He is growing like a weed.  If you are interested in Marshall don’t wait around.  He won’t be available for long! IMG_4520IMG_4521IMG_4523IMG_4524IMG_4525IMG_4526IMG_4527IMG_4528

Angie… isn’t she sweet?  She is going to live with Sybil Kessinger in MD.  Sybil is a PE Teacher and so fun.  She is a lucky girl. IMG_4534IMG_4535IMG_4536IMG_4540IMG_4542

Rockie… Our biggest and possibly the naughtiest little guy.  Actually he is pretty good but he was the first to figure out how to get out of the yard puppy fence (not the big fence… just the little puppy fence). He is going to live with Debby Early from Edgewater MD.  Her and Rockie are both so lucky!  IMG_4547IMG_4548IMG_4549

4 weeks of cuddliness…

Yup!  So cuddly! They still let you hold them like a baby doll (my kids favorite way).  On Monday they turned 4 weeks old.  All are doing great so far!  Contact us for availability.  As of today there are 2 girls and one boy available. 🙂

This is Everest.  She is one of the smallest girls.   So fun and cuddly.

IMG_4423IMG_4429IMG_4430IMG_4432IMG_4433IMG_4434

And Marshall… middlesized boy and so stinkin fluffy! Who could resist that face? IMG_4438IMG_4439IMG_4440IMG_4441IMG_4442IMG_4443IMG_4444

This is Angie.  Saturday Sybil Kessinger from MD picked her out on Saturday.  She is a lucky pup to say the least. 🙂 IMG_4446IMG_4449IMG_4450

There ya go Sybil… doing her tongue thing. 😀IMG_4453IMG_4456

Rocky… Our BIGGEST boy. He is as Handsome as he is huge.  And very photogenic (at least today).IMG_4457IMG_4460IMG_4461IMG_4462IMG_4464

Chase … or smallest boy.  But he isn’t missing anything from the cute department either. IMG_4472IMG_4473IMG_4474IMG_4478

And Rubble.  His eyes are so big and intelligent.  And he has adorable yawns.IMG_4479IMG_4480IMG_4484IMG_4486IMG_4487

This is Tasha.  She is a cute little one but a total smartie.  I have a feeling you won’t get a way with much when she is around. IMG_4488IMG_4490IMG_4491IMG_4492IMG_4493IMG_4494IMG_4496IMG_4497

And Skye.  She is all about being pretty.  Well not really… since she is a puppy so she likes to have fun too.  But she a beauty.  Maybe a bit on the shy side. IMG_4500IMG_4503IMG_4504IMG_4505IMG_4507

With that we showed them all off.  I promise you in person is the very best tho. So if you already reserved one of these come often! and if you didn’t yet then set up a visit!  😀  Happy Thursday Ya’ll!

 

2 weeks of pure cuddliness…

My Kids wanted to name the pups after their favorite TV Show “paw patrol”.  So here we go…

This is Rocky (Green).  He is the BIGGEST boy.  I guess he just loves to eat.  Who can blame him. IMG_4359IMG_4365

And Marshall (Red)….IMG_4367IMG_4372IMG_4373IMG_4374

Chase… (Blue)IMG_4376IMG_4379

Rubble… (Yellow)IMG_4383IMG_4385IMG_4386IMG_4387

Skye (white)… we wanted pink for her but the value pack of collars didn’t come with pink. 🙂 IMG_4389IMG_4390

Everest… (Purple)IMG_4395IMG_4396IMG_4407

Angie (we ran out of girl paw patrols… so here goes random) 🙂 IMG_4408IMG_4411IMG_4412

Tasha… (she just wanted to sleep, even tho that’s what she did most of the day already… as did all her 7 siblings) 🙂 IMG_4416IMG_4417

They are all doing so well!  they eat and sleep and fuss… and then repeat. 🙂  Their eyes are open and they are starting to walk a little.   It just get’s to be more fun from here on out!  My kids are having so much fun!  You will see plenty of my kids in the future since I discovered wiggly pups do best being held. 😀

3 of the boys have been placed with families and so far 2 of the girls.  We are so excited about each family and can’t wait to introduce them here.  If you would like to be one of the families to the remaining 3, call us asap! 717-201-7929.

Our 2017 pups are here!!!

We are happy to announce the arrival of our 2017 litter! Mia’s due date came and went last Thursday and she went into labor and delivered one boy pup on Monday morning early. Then after about 2 hours we became concerned because no more pups were arriving and she was very uncomfortable! So we took her to the vet and they tried inducing her to no avail. Then they performed a csection and delivered 7 more beautiful pups for a total of 8! 
As of Wednesday they are al doing great. The recovery is definitely more difficult for Mia but she is doing great with caring for them. Her milk supply is building as well so things are looking good!  
When they performed the csection they also spayed her. So this is her last litter. She is 7 and although very healthy yet we and the vet felt it was the best decision for her. Does that mean we are done breeding? Probably not but it will depend if we can find just the right young female somewhere to add to our proud foot family. 

Anyway with no further ado here is the bunch!The last picture is all of them fresh home from the vets on Monday. 

4 boys and 4 girls! The kids want to name them after paw patrol characters so we will put their collars on and name them when they are a week old or so. 

2 of the boys are spoken for so that means we have 4 girls and 2 boys available. Give us a call at 717-201-7929 if you are interested in one. 

Have a fun holiday weekend! 😊 we will just be here cuddling puppies.😍

And they were all home for Christmas…

Although it’s always sad to say good bye it’s so Sweet too because we get to meet the most wonderful people!!! And the pups are all so loved and well cared for!

Cody (aka Gabriel) is so happy, loved, and adored by the Roscioli family in NJ. He was a wonderful Christmas present to these 3 adorable kids!

Buster (aka Angel) went to live with the Jones family in Lewes De. They live right on the water and he is loved so well! He is a very lucky boy!!!

Aubrey went to live in Gaithersburg MD with Shreya Roy. She is so loved and very spoiled too!!!

Tucker was a wonderful Christmas surprise for the Marshall kids in Hanover pa. He is a big cuddle bug and they love him so so much!

And then there is our sweet Nala. She gets to stay with us for a few months yet. We are so glad!!! Then she will be moving to Indiana with my sister and her hubby. 

I hope all of you had a very merry Christmas and that your new year is wonderful!!!❤️

Twas the week before Christmas…

The anticipation factor is mounting for the families who plan to bring these pups home this week or next!  A few of them had originally planned to wait until a day or two before Christmas to pick up but as it get’s down to the wire they just don’t wanna wait any longer then this Friday.  Do you blame them?   You won’t after you look at the pictures anyway. 🙂 .

First Angel.  He is such a sweetie.  He is going to live with the Jones family in Lewes Delaware.  Lucky boy.  I wanna live by the beach too!  🙂 . img_5026img_5027img_5030

This is Gabriel… he is going to live in Voorhees NJ with the Roscioli Family.  They are a wonderful Golden loving family and he will be loved to bits.  He is also a Christmas surprise!img_5036img_5037he was very likely just as tired as he looks.  They had all been playing in the yard for quite a while.  We all know how much puppies need naps. 🙂

This is Aubrey.  She is Going to live with Shreya Roy in Gaithersburg MD.  She is already loved so much and no doubt she will be doted upon to the max.  She is our smallest of the litter and such a little beauty with a touch of shyness. 🙂img_5050img_5051

And Nala…  Randall and Althea Graber are the lucky owners.  But the good part is we get to keep her until April!  Randall and Althea (my sister) currently live in our basement apartment but after Christmas they are going to Greece for a few months as voluteers at a syrian refugee camp.  So we get to keep Nala.  We are very happy about that.  Eventually Nala will be moving to Indiana with the Grabers.  So we will Cherish the moments with her while we can!  img_5055img_5056img_5059img_5064img_5065It looks like Nala would have won the photoshoot contest if there was one.  Or maybe Althea was partial (since she was snapping the pictures). 🙂  Either way is was posing nicely and we don’t complain when 7 week old puppies do that!  img_5067

Tucker… Our BIGGEST boy.  He is going to live with the Marshall family in Hanover PA.  He is a Christmas surprise for 2 lucky kids!  🙂  We don’t doubt he will be loved to the max.  img_5071img_5077img_5078img_5079

Thanks for stopping by!  Next post will probably be of each pup with their family at pick up.  It’s a sad time for us but yet it makes us so happy because of the happy families who pick up their puppy!

4 week Cuddlers…

They are growing like weeks and starting to play.  Barking instead of whining.  All that fun stuff. 🙂  We are still confirming the last family so I’ll introduce them in one of the next posts.  🙂

This is Nala.  She was frosty… but her family is going to be calling her Nala.  Adorable name for a white Golden.  img_4333img_4334img_4335img_4340

Aubrey…  Our little squirt of the bunch.  🙂  She is pure sweetie and her family is going to spoil her rotten!  🙂img_4341img_4347img_4348

Angel.  As handsome and gentle as they come.  🙂 img_4351img_4352img_4354

And Gabriel… he is an angel too. 🙂  img_4364

We are looking forward to introducing their wonderful families!  Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

2 week old peekers!

Yesterday their eyes opened and they are getting around faster!  I guess it was naptime today because they just wanted to sleep. 🙂

Meet Frosty…

img_4098

She just didn’t want her nap interrupted.  We decided that’s just ok.  We are excited to announce that she is going to live with my sister Althea and her Husband Randall.  They are living in our basement apartment now but they are moving to Indiana (Randall’s home state) in April.  We are happy that Frosty will get to stay with us until April!  They kids will enjoy her so much!  img_4092

Our other little girl Holly… she is small but feisty and never left out!  img_4083img_4081

Angel.  Yea… he pretty much is all that.

img_4073img_4075

We wish there were 10 puppies right now because EVERYONE is wanting a puppy before Christmas!  It’s sad when there aren’t enough to go around.  We have several families on the string but contact us and you might stand a chance.

Happy Weekend!!!

5 perfect pups!

Yes they are absolutely perfect and have been since day one. Even Mia seems to think this litter has been a breeze! We say we would take 5 every time if it was always this perfect. They were born last Friday, October 21.  That will mean they are ready to go home with their new families on December 16. These pups are from Mia and Chance.  If you want to see more pictures of both parents check out  the page about our dogs.



They are growing like weeds so we will try to keep you all updated. If you would like to reserve one or come visit just give us a call! 717-201-7929 -Hilda
