Well, I'm sad to say it but Sweet Heart just turned 6 years old on February 28, 2008. That's 42 in dogs years. She has had 6 litters, five litters of 5 puppies and her last litter born 5/20/2008 had 3 males and 3 females! She was just retired on Sept 11, 2008. She is now the one and only princess for a disabled woman and her daughter. As soon as she got to her new home she had to go potty but the daughter just had to do something quickly so Sweet Heart ran all the way around the apartment, picked up her leash and took it to the daughter!!! I'm sure Sweet Heart will train them well! I just can't say what an incredible dog she is. I'll miss my girl so much! But she deserves to be the one and only princess for the rest of her life instead of being "Sarge" the leader of the pack!
She and Max's puppies have all been wonderful little Papillons, a few had the down ears (phalene) most had the up ears, some of the males have been up to 9 lbs and their sire, Max, is 6 lbs. Misha, the male runt from her last litter, is only 5 lbs!! He'll be the mate to our 4 lb little female with the Loteki bloodlines, Suki Loo. In fact, Suki and Misha (she chose him!) are pregnant and due October 10th! All of Sweet Heart's babies are in wonderful forever homes with wonderful families. They're all over the US from Montana, Ohio to Texas, California, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, Washington and even the US Virgin Islands!
I try to breed closely to the breed standard of the AKC. Those puppies that weren't close to the breed standard I have sold as pet only with spay/neuter agreements. Many of them could have been champions in agility, obedience and confirmation. Perhaps they are and I just don't know it!
