Taylor's Puppies went home yesterday!

Well 2 of them did.  Kobe who is now called Max and Kassie who is now called Roxy went to their new homes yesterday.

I'm so happy that they went to 2 exceptional families and although I am going to miss them greatly, I know that they will be taken care of and very well loved.

Kylie will be staying here at Renaissance as a show/breeding prospect. So we are keeping all our fingers and paws crossed.  She is a clone of her Mom...She's our little Baby Tater Tot.

She is really missing her sister and brother and is not a happy camper.  She has this sort of howl and that's what her father Cappuccino does.  So I guess she has the best of both parents .....smile....

The beautiful roses used as a backdrop in one of the pics were given to me yesterday by Roxy's new Mom and Dad.  I'm enjoying their beauty and they give me hope that Spring will truly be coming to CT very soon.

Analiesa's puppies had a few visitors yesterday..Their new families enjoyed playing with them and finally getting to meet them and see them in person.

I'm quite sure they are totally in love with these boys...they all possess these very sweet little personalities..not to mention they are just adorable....they are great kissers too!

Niko-A Renaissance Puppy!

Niko is the son of Rumour and Koda and is a year old in this photo.

He was having great fun running around at the beach in Maine where he resides with with his family.

Under the direction of his Mom Theresa, Niko has completed a 6 week puppy training class at Planet Dog.

He has also completed his Obedience Training-Canine Manners 1.

Niko also participates in a trick training class/play group with other small dogs.

Niko will be taking his canine good citizen test soon.

Here is what his Mom has to say about him.

"Need I say he is brilliant...he lives with 3 cats and plays with one of them all the time...he is very good natured and even my sister who dislikes dogs, LOVES him"

A big thank you to Niko's family for giving him such a loving home.

Chyna is in heat!

Cappuccino was really liking Chyna today..licking her and chattering his little teeth..I just checked her yesterday and nothing...well she's in heat today.

So it looks like Rose and Chyna will be having their litters very close together.  Nevaeh is close, but not yet.

Today...... Rose, Chyna and Nevaeh will be getting a much needed bath.  With the crazy New England weather we've been having, it's not easy to keep them looking so nice and fluffy :)

It's a beautiful day in CT and we are loving it..

Have a great Sunday.  Renaissance Coton de Tulear signing off!

Puppy Video's

The Barker in the background in Cappuccino.  He just hates when his Mommy (me), leaves to go into the puppy room without him.  He LOVES the puppies but the Mom's don't want him messing around with them..hehe

Enjoy!

Renaissance Coton de Tulear signing off for now.  Have a great day :)

Therapy Hopeful

I would just like to share an email I've just received from a very happy owner of one of Taylor's and Koda's babies from her first litter.  It's so important not to push a puppy with training, and if done at a healthy pace such as this owner has done, these dogs can do anything. That is KEY...the most important thing is to socialize them..get them out meeting and greeting everyone...it's not hours and hours of training that make a dog a good therapy dog....it's the socialization...once socialized properly, these dogs can all become wonderful therapy dogs.  It's not quantity, it's quality training using only positive reinforcement. You need to move at a pace that doesn't stress your pup. You'll have plenty of time to achieve therapy status with your pup, just take your time and enjoy it..HAVE FUN WITH IT......PATIENCE IS KEY!

Today Samson had his evaluation for the good dog foundation therapy dog training program to see if he (we) can take the course and he passed with flying colors so as soon as they put the next class together we will enroll! It is 5 weeks long and then he will be certified.
Just wanted to share this with you. He continues to delight and enchant.

Signed:  Samson and Family
