Two puppies still available!

We still have two puppies that we're looking to find the perfect home(s) for: our boys Adzuki & Lentil...

Adzuki   (ßclick link)

What can I say about Adzuki?  Well, he's my husband's favorite.  Adzuki was our miracle pup that almost got lost during delivery.  Adzuki is very affectionate and his markings are just gorgeous.  I have high hopes for Adzuki ...although by no means a necessity, I'd love to find a show home, and/or a family interested in breeding to take him.  Foremost, I just want him to go to a loving home. We're holding out for the right match with Adzuki.

Lentil  (ßclick link)

The funny thing about Lentil is that he ended up looking more like his daddy than Pali-II.  Lentil started off on the small side, but he has blossomed into such a strong, healthy boy.  I've had so many friends tell me that Lentil is their favorite, or that he is the cutest of the bunch.  Lentil has a sweet, gentle soul that melts people's hearts.  I'm hoping to send Lentil to a home where he will be somebody's constant companion.  This little boy has so much love to give, and he does really well in public situations.

Both pups are just stunning, and both have sweet and lovable personalities.  We love them both, so much!

Bye Bye Pali II!

Today we said goodbye to little Pali-II. 

He's off to a new life in Mililani with Lori and James.  We know he's going to love his new family.  Goodbyes are always hard, but sharing the joy of Borzoi with others is a wonderful thing. 

We love you Pali-II!

We have also accepted an offer on Lentil Soy today.  It looks like Soy will be headed to the Big Island!

10 weeks old!

We've been having so much fun with the puppies lately.  Days are pretty lazy & quiet, but in the evening we invite the whole gang to run amuk in the house for some serious playtime.  Pali does so well with his babies.  He knows to be gentle, but he still gets quite a workout playing with them.  The pups adore Pali and Hana.  It's so endearing watching them climb all over and lavish their parents with kisses. 

...took a few more pictures yesterday, here are some favorites...

Pups on the Porch

All 5 puppies lounging and playing on the porch. 

They love their turtle toy J

And then there were 5...

So we're down to 5 puppies.  Tasha (formerly "Jelly") has moved to the Big Island, Roman (formerly "Cocoa") has moved to Maui, and Anna and Lilly (formerly "Jelly" and "Lima") both moved to Kauai.  I was hoping it would get easier with each goodbye, but I think it's getting harder.  I suppose that makes sense...after all, we grow more attached to them everyday with each new experience, each cuddle session, each moment shared. 

These puppies are so dear to us. 

The babies still with us include Adzuki, Soy, Pali II, Lentil, and Garbanzo.  All boys.  All sweet little souls.  9-week old bundles of love, ready to be delivered to new families.  We've had some recent inquiries about a couple of these little babes.  I have a feeling it won't belong till there are more goodbyes to be said.

We're very likely keeping Bonzer (Garbanzo).  It's a tough choice ...they are all so lovely.  But I let myself become more bonded to Garbanzo than I probably should have - maybe because he was the first born, or maybe he chose me...I think that's it J

 Pali II or Lentil - I'm not sure which one. 

I love the little twist of hair at the tip of the tail - they all have it!

Borzoi Flight!

I think the last post about the puppies first steps in the grass makes a great lead in to this one.  We took Pali to his very first lure coursing practice with the Hawaii Lure Coursing Club this past saturday.  He was a natural, not surprisingly.  We didn't bring a camera (darn), but fortunately, someone else there did have a camera and shared some pictures with us...

Puppies in the grass!

Here is the video that goes along with the preceeding post.  The pups were unbelievably cute discovering the fun of playing on the grass.  They were all rather timid about it at first, and then Tasha (formerly known as Kidney) darted out and they all followed.  The rest is history.  The pups love their outdoor playpen!

Today we said goodbye to our little trailblazer, Tasha.  It was tough - I shed a few tears, but I have nothing but confidence in Tasha's new owners.  I know she is going to have a wonderful life out there on the Big Island and I am looking forward to future visits to see how she's grown.  Good luck Jane and Vince ...enjoy your new baby!
