Our last litter of 2011 was with our 2 stunning silver Shepherds, Diesel & Bella! Diesel is our fun-loving, thick built stud dog from Royalair Shepherds in Iowa. He's got a very loving temperament, but he's also a good watchdog. Bella carries our original bloodlines. She is 7 generations down from our massive girl Irish, our 136 lb foundation girl. She is a wonderful watchdog, but is trustworthy & very maternal with pups as well as people! We will get wonderful size & temperaments from the pups out of these two. Both have fantastic personalities & are oversized with straight-backed builds. We know that the resulting pups will be everything Salhaus pups are expected to be. This was a 2nd pairing of these 2. The first litter was outstanding! We expect the same looks, temperament & health from this litter as we had in the 1st. We have had generation after generation of wonderful pups produced by Salhaus females. We expect no less from Bella again, crossed to Diesel.
Click HERE to see pictures & comments of their pups from last year! In this litter, we will have standard black/silver, as well as blk/cream/tan pups with short coats. Most pups will have the more classic saddle back markings, but we will have some with the darker (more black) markings as well. 4 girls & 4 boys this time. Generally by the time our pups are ready for new homes, they are all spoken for, so please don't hesitate to contact me to get put on our waiting list.

Bella's babies are growing! She had an outstanding litter of 8 this time!! These babies are FAT & very healthy! Most of them were both born at a whopping 19 - 24 oz's!! Usual newborn weight is 14-16 oz, basically right around 1 lb. . .
but not these "moose pups!" Born with shiny coats & lots of body fat already. They've had a huge head-start already in their short, little lives. 4 girls & 4 boys! Pups seem almost solid black at birth, but DO have the under color already!
It becomes more pronounced as they grow. These babies will be stunning!
Bella's babies are growing! The pups' ears & eyes are sealed shut at birth & then start to open at 2 weeks of age. You can see that the pups now have "slits" of eyes in some of the pictures! They will continue to open slowly over this next week. Their ears will also start to open up as well. And then their "little puppy world" expands! 4 girls & 4 boys! Pups
seem almost solid black at birth, but DO have the under color already! It becomes more pronounced as they grow.
You can already see the silvery color coming through. These babies will be stunning!
This week the pups' ears & eyes have opened. They are responding to sound & sight. . .like Mom jumping in & out of their puppy pool. . .the sound of the door opening & shutting, the TV, blow dryer, our voices, etc. They are also getting their "land legs." They still stumble, but they are becoming quite mobile! They are also gaining more color. Compare their 1 & 2 week old photos to these 3 week old photos. We expose them to as much as we can. They are exposed to our kitties to friends & family. They also had their 1st experience with getting their nails trimmed. They wiggled a little, but overall were quite good about it! We spend 100's of hours with them by the time they leave here to be well socialized & ready for any situations in their new homes. 4 girls & 4 boys! Pups seem almost solid black at birth, but DO have the under color already! It becomes more pronounced as they grow. You can already see the silvery color coming through. These babies will be stunning!
More Big changes for the babies this week! The babies are doing so well! They love life! We've introduced them to the "Great Outdoors!" They romp & play. . .they love the yard & the fresh air & taste & feel of the grass (& mud!) & all in their little puppy world right now! They CHOW at feeding time! They follow us like the Pied Piper! Life is good!
They also were microchipped this week. It wasn't very pleasant, but they quickly got over the "prick" of the needle & forgave our home-visit vet tech! They were quick to give kisses & start wagging their tails again!
These babies are confident, loving & outgoing. . . not reserved or shy. . .and also not high strung! These are perfect pups for whatever their new families will require of them. We've spent hundreds of hours with them & it shows in their well-rounded personalities. Don't miss out! These will be perfect "starts" to anyone's new year! Contact me now. Our waiting list is growing fast! Just one outstanding female left!
This girl looks like Shiloh, but it's NOT! This is Rosie! She is also Green Girl's older sister from the same parents! Classic, classic! Long legs, Straight backed! Perfect! This is what Green Girl will look like as well! If you like this look, don't let Green Girl get away!
