The Puppies of Spring, 2018 (3)

Update with pics from April 7–Well, it wasn’t warm but it was clear and sunny. So…..we did try a short time outside. Now keep in mind that these few photos took over 2.5 hours to get. First getting them out, then cleaning the inside play spaces, then photos and getting them all back in the warm again. All the toys were so badly trashed that they are not in the photos because they were soaking to be cleaned! Still, I think that they enjoyed the brisk air for their first time EVER outside!

BRUNO x VERITY

Getting up to seven weeks old now!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

EURO x MERCI

Six weeks old…..loving the outside play so much that they are all tuckered out!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Everybody is getting their first vaccinations and have finished a preventative worming cycle. In just a few more days, April 12 or 13th, we will be doing the PAT, physical evaluations, and photo shots.

They Wonder Where Their People Is…..

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Spring has sprung

The grass is riz

Yet they wonder where their people is…..

Blue Ribbon Baby Boy and White Ribbon Baby Boy – above – were the undeserved targets of last minute cancellations and their people never saw or came for them. These two most deserving of sweet boys really are waiting somewhat patiently for YOU to call.

Born in the litter of January 14th, 2017, you can see the happy puppyhood they shared in the previous posts since that date. Their littermates are all over the country with two in California and Pennsylvania, one each in Colorado, Ohio, and Texas!

If one of our two available boys could put a SPRING in your step, give us a comment below or call: 330-666-2004

We will provide our excellent puppy portfolio that includes a 5 generation pedigree, health care record to date, 8 pages of info and recommendations, and a four pound bag of Best Breed Puppy Food with a three day starter of Nu-Vet to fulfill their nutritional needs.

April 21, 2017 – Update – Our two boys, now named Henry and Bernie, have found their people and we hear great reports! We hope to have a summer litter; just send a note and we can help you with more information….

The Puppies of Spring, 2018

The long awaited report of puppies at Seneca Airedales is finally here!

BRUNO x VERITY

First, expected on Valentine’s Day, but born just one day later on February 15th, we introduce the puppies from Bruno and Verity. Learn more about the parents by clicking on their names…..

The sire of this litter, Seneca Handsome King (OFA AT-5684 Good), is himself sired by a German import with obedience/performance titles and we are very excited about him! His mother is our own Fancy and this is the first time Bruno has been the father of a litter. You can read more about Fancy and find a video of Bruno as a year old puppy.

Verity preparing the layette.

We prepared a safe secure place well in advance. Verity had a bath and a trim to get ready too.

Seneca Ariana Verity (OFA Excellent) spent her Valentine’s Day preparing a nest for her puppies. We enjoyed providing her with plenty of newspapers for shredding.

Verity welcomes the first puppy

Then, at 5 am on February 15th, we decided to have puppies! She’s so happy to see the first little guy–look closely, he’s there….

5:15 am Male BLUE 11.1 oz

8:11 am Female PINK 12.5 oz

10:55 am Female SEAFOAM 11.7 oz

~~12:05 pm Male RED 7.5 oz~~

Poor little Red didn’t survive long even with close supervision. I still grieve for him and what might have been. I set a schedule of checking them all day which makes me so glad that I can work from home. During the night, I was checking them at 12 Midnight, 2 am, 4 am, and 7 am. Sleep was a bit of a luxury that I could go short on for their sake.

EURO x MERCI

Seneca Ariana Merci….waiting….

Next, waiting for the big day….then born with just a little excitement as we ran to the well known Animal Clinic Northview, where we had a C-section performed. We introduce the puppies from Euro and Merci. Learn more about the parents by clicking on their names or links…..

The sire of this litter, UCD, URO1 Dollar von Erikson PCD, CD, TD, VCD1, NJP, NAP, NFP, JH, SHF, JHR, BH, AD, IPO2, RATO, RL2 , is a German import with obedience/performance titles and OFA AT-5512 Good. He and his owner/trainer Linda Sorak of IL, are perhaps just a bit in the way of overachievers! More training titles are on the way since you just can’t keep a good dog on the couch!

Retirement For Jack

Jack is a very good boy and he is ready for his very own house and people.

You can look up all kinds of history on Jack from when he was little with a tiny green ribbon all the way up to the present. Here’s his early history, his show career, and a little info on his brother. Jack is blessed with an extremely red and black coat and low maintenance wiry texture.

Here’s some photos taken just this week in the snow! One question we get is Why? Well, we have five Airedales and would like to travel more in the future. If we can find the right situation for Jack while getting all the undivided attention, I think that he’ll do fabulously! He’s great now with getting a five-way split in my attention.

Seneca Airedales are located at 1814 North Revere Rd, Akron, OH 44333. For more information, please direct your inquiries to our email: aireseneca@gmail.com or by phone: 330-666-2004. Our next puppies will be born in February, 2018.

Closing out 2017–For The Record

These puppies are fully placed but I wanted to put up the photos for the record. Born on July 27, 2017 from CH Seneca The New Jack ex Seneca Ready to Appeal. “Reddi” had turned six years old on May 1st, just before conception of this litter. I retire my dogs in their sixth year from breeding, so we knew this would be her last litter.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We came up on the Three Week Birthday and had so much fun with the new foods and wading through the feeding pan that the next big event was the first bath and dry:

Then they did SO well and got SO big, we did the second bath at 7 weeks!

So, here are the photos of our individual puppies, born July 27th, from the parents:

Here are the three boys: Blue, Purple, and Gold

Now for the girls: Pink, Yellow, Red, Green, Teal, Orange

Before that at Two Weeks, they were playing at taking a Road Trip using a cardboard box….Airedales have GREAT imaginations!

Eyes just opened! Just taking a look around for the very first time…

New Arrivals June 8th!

If you have been following along our posts, you are sure to have seen a little bit about Jack, now a proud daddy: JACK The lovely mama is VERITY. You can see them and read all about the family history!

Now that we have been properly introduced, we can talk about the new arrivals! I had been watching Verity closely all through Tuesday, when I gave her a bath, and Wednesday even though she was technically due on Friday….try telling an expectant mother when to follow a schedule! Verity has also not been eating well and was too thin in my opinion, so I was worried and trying to tempt her to eat more with quite a wide variety of good stuff.

Then….

Wednesday, June 7th

6:50 pm female PINK ribbon weighing 11.7 oz

7:40 male BLUE 11.9

8:48 female YELLOW 10.5

9:45 male ORANGE 11.5

9:55 male PURPLE 9.3

11:17 male RED 10.6

Now we are into Thursday, June 8th in the early hours…..

12:33 female SEAFOAM 10.6

3:00 male GREEN 12.2

6:00 male TEAL 11.2

Of course, everyone wants to see pictures, so here you go!

Puppies and Verity are doing very well. On the other hand, I had to work long hours (fortunately, I work from home) all weekend and was very zombie-like…..I only just caught up on my sleep!
