Finally! Finally! Finally!

Cruz is finally in heat. We have been waiting (im)patiently since June for her. Her last heat was in January so normally June would have been the month. However, in March, she had a false heat lasting 3 days. A regular heat lasts 21!  Usually a false heat will not put them off their schedule. Unfortunately this one did.  The good news is it's finally here!  That means she will be bred in a couple of weeks. I am debating on breeding her to Merlin instead of Vedor. Only because they have proven to be a good breeding pair. Vedor has never been a sire. I'm not sure I want to take the chance on an untried sire.   I'm still debating. I have a few weeks to decide.

Yay!  She's finally in heat!

Fwd: Special Day!

It's so nice to be appreciated!

Subject: Special Day!

Today marks a very special occasion - today is my fur baby's 9th birthday!!  Hard to believe that it has been nine years that I have the gift of Shiloh and I just wanted you to know that there is not a day that goes by where I am not thankful that I found my way to you.  It may be her birthday but she is my most wonderful gift!

THANK YOU!

P.S.  Here are a a then/now pics for you.

My Heart Breaks

 

 

 

This is Danny.  This is the K9 Partner of David Ross who was killed in Moncton a few days ago.  Here, Danny is smelling the hat of his lost partner. Incredibly sad.

Cheetah has a New Home

Cheetah has found the perfect partner! She will be acting as a service dog for someone in need. I can't give details so as to respect this persons privacy. Just know she is going to be the perfect partner. She is here for a few weeks of training then off to what she was born & bred to do.

Guardian Angels Helping Our Veterans

This is Alenka and her war Veteran.  Alenka has almost completed her service dog training and will become  official in the near future.  One of her jobs is to wake him if he has nightmares.  She looks quite comfortable with her job, doesn't she!  I'm very proud of Alenka for being a true K9 Partner for this Veteran.  Wounded Warriors has been a great help to this pair and I would like to thank them for making this possible.  I'll keep you updated on her progress.

Cruz & Cheetah Racing!

I'm so grateful for my dogs. The endless pleasure they give me is irreplaceable. Here's a favourite moment from today!

Nice letter from a puppy owner

Hi Mary Ann,

 

Just wanted to send you an updated pic of Diesel.  He is turning into such a handsome boy.  He has lost all his fuzz except for the ears but I doubt they will be long.  Seems to be smoothing out from the back end up and his ears are the last to go.  We call him ALF in the meantime as he resembles the TV character.  He is doing great, well behaved and extremely smart.  Cuddly and a great companion with me, inquisitive and curious alongside our 15 month old daughter – they like to play toys together, and a regular rough and tumble wrestler with Craig (much to both their delight)  He weighed 73 pounds on Friday at 7 months old and has huge feet he is still growing into.  He is also turning into a great protector – he has a deep loud bark and uses it for all coming up our driveway and to the door.  He is perfect and exactly what we wanted and needed.  Thank you for your excellent choice. J

No Puppies This Spring 8-(

I have already let the waiting list of people know that there will not be puppies at Guardian Angel Shepherds this Spring.  Indy has decided that this was not the time for her to have puppies.  She is healthy and happy and that's all that matters. 

It makes me sad to have to tell excited future owners that it will be many more months before there is another litter.  In particular an eight year old girl with cancer.  Oh how I wish I had a puppy for her now.  And for all the others too.  I know how exciting it is to get a new member of the family. 

I want to thank all of you who have decided to wait until my next litter is available.  It means a lot to me that you believe in us and are willing to wait for something so exciting.  All I can say is that it is worth the wait.  I know it is.
