Meet Pinkk Snapdragon aka Mushu

We are the proud new co-owners of this beautiful little girl; Mushu. She's 3 months old and an absolute doll. I think she's going to do very well in the show ring! Her Dam is a full litter sister to BIS, BISS, Ch. Tupelo Sho Boat Tu China Tu (Boo). Her sire is GCh. Jasez Pinkk Vulcan God of Fire.

We recently took her to a local Pug gathering and she had the time of her life. We look forward to great things to come for this little girl!

New Puppy Pictures

Here are a few new puppy pictures. They are almost 5 weeks old. These puppies are out of Ch. Coryrex's Shooting Star x Arvay's Midnight Lullaby. 

Male. Got Wrinkles? He sure does! Can you see little Thumbelina sleeping in this picture?

This little girl doesn't have a name yet. She's middle as far as size. She'll be a small girl at maturity. Her dam is 13 pounds.

This is little Thumbelina. She had a early set back but she's doing better now after an episode with pneumonia.

Black Pug puppy available

This cute chubby goober will be looking for the perfect home. Isn't he ridiculously cute!? He's 11 days old in this photo and his eyes just recently opened so now he's checking out the world around him. 

He will be ready for a new home later in November. If interested, you can fill out are inquiry form here: http://www.arvaypugs.com/submissions.php?id=1

He is out of CH. Coryrex's Shooting Star x Arvay's Midnight Lullaby. 

 

A Pug named Stucky

I'm sure you are thinking why "Stucky"? It is a funny name I know and I can't help but giggle a little when I say it. Her registered name is Brookside's Sugarland of Arvay. Sugarland is a country band and they have a song titled "Stuck like Glue", thus where her name Stucky comes from.

We are so excited about this little girl! Her dam (Can. Ch. Windwalker's Sure Sweet Melody) is out of our Pippin and her sire (Grand Am. Ch./Can. Ch. Fantasy's Brookside Rack 'em Up)  is out of our Mabeline.

Pugs and the cold

Brrr! It's freezing out this morning. So much so that little Pixie could only go out to potty for a few minutes. I will be so glad when Spring arrives. This cold weather is for the birds.

The cutest Pug puppy in the world

Ok, well I'm partial but I think little Pixie is adorable! Don't you? She's 6 1/2 weeks old now and just as sweet as she can be.

Pixie Pug at 4 weeks old

Almost 4 weeks I should say. She just shy a couple days. She weighs a whopping 15 ounces so she's true to her name Pixie for sure. She so darn cute! She's eating solids now and does so with much enthusiasm. She's got quite an appetite for such a wee girl. Here are some pictures.

New Pug puppy has a name!

I have finally decided on a name for Tiggy's wee little girl. Her name will be Arvay's Pixie Dust and we'll call her Pixie. I love it! She's really a chunky little puppy even for her small size. Her eyes are open now! She's so cute!

New Pug Puppy

Here she is! She is out of Arvay's Lonestar To Treasure x AM/CAN GR CH. Fantasy's Brookside Rack Em' Up. She was born via C-section and weighs 7 ounces. She's a singleton as she was the only puppy Tiggy was carrying. Isn't she precious?

Tiggy is being a great Mom!

New Litter coming

Tiggy had her xray and she has one (1) bun in the oven. So she will have a C-section. I wasn't surprised that she was only carrying one as she only had one her first litter as well. I can't tell you how excited I am! Though of course I'm nervous too. When you only have one you fret and pray that it will be a live, healthy puppy and that it will thrive.

We set up the whelping/puppy pen last night. Thankfully, hubby and my son were able to help as I couldn't remember for the life of me how the darn thing went together. My son loves things like those "K'nex" toys so he's a wiz at figuring out how to put things together. So it's all set up and ready to go.

All of my supplies are out and ready and the final thing I need to get is a tank of Oxygen. I'm hoping that she'll not try and have the puppy before her scheduled C-section. That might get a bit hairy. When a Pug is only carrying one puppy, that puppy can be too large to pass through the pelvis. Thus, the need for a C-section.

I'll keep you all posted!

Planned Breeding

Little Miss Tiggy (aka Arvay's Lonestar To Treasure) has come into season. She is the dam of Arvay's Midnight Lullaby (Cricket) who was a singleton. So we don't expect her to have a large litter. I will feel blessed if she has 1-2 puppies. In any case, our plans are to breed her to AM/CAN Ch. Fantasy's Brookside Rack Em' Up (aka Xander) whom we have frozen semen on. Xander is owned by Tania of Brookside Pugs and is a stunning little guy that I think will compliment Tiggy very well and the two of them should produce some darling puppies.


Here is Tiggy and her Beau Xander.

Pug puppies almost 6 months old

I was working with the girls a bit on the table today. I think both are turning out very nice. Cricket was difficult to get pictures of as she is a little BEAST! She kept biting my fingers instead of the bait LOL! Next time I'll bait her with something on a spoon to save my digits.

Anyway, I'm very excited about both these girls and while they haven't quite reached 6 months old yet, I'm already laying out breeding plans for them in the future. It can take some planning and I know for sure I will likely breed Cricket to Gordy. Gordy is dominant black so we'll get all black puppies. But also some of the resulting puppies may also be dominant black. So that is exciting. Of course this is quite a ways down the road yet. But it doesn't hurt to plan ahead (:

Here is Cricket. She's out of Ch. Kirby and Arvay's Lonestar to Treasure.



Here is Seven below. She's out of Ch. Coryrex's Shooting Star x Ch. Moonstruck's Notorious. I haven't decided just yet who might end up being Seven's Beau. Although I have a couple options in mind and one of them is a fawn male that I have some frozen semen stored from. He's gorgeous and I'm going to look over their pedigrees a bit more and see if that would be a good match.

Arvay's Seven Past Midnight

Ok, I took a few pictures today of Seven. Boy is she getting cute! She looks so much like her sire Gordy. Though I see Ingrid in her too. I love her head and she has nice bone. I also like how balanced she is. One of these days maybe I'll get a good profile or table shot of her. She's a sweetie. She's a bit more reserved than her sister Six, but she's coming around. I've been able to get her out more now the weather is warmer.

Black Pug puppies Seven and Cricket

We had the girls outside for just a bit to play today and I snapped a couple pictures of Seven and Cricket.

Here's Cricket - Arvay's Midnight Lullaby

Black Female Pug puppy "Six"

I thought I'd share some updated pictures of little Six. She's so adorable and petite. She is now 13 weeks and looking for her forever home. Her requirements are to have a home where she will be relentlessly spoiled, pampered and doted upon. She in return will offer to snuggle in your lap and lavash you with kisses, of which she has an endless supply.

I consider Six somewhat of a "special needs" puppy. Mainly due to her small size. She has had her first shots and Vet check up and is doing great. You can find more information about Six on my site; http://www.arvaypugs.com/

Six and her sister. Gives you an idea of her petite size.

A tiny black Pug puppy

WARNING: The following pictures may cause you to ohhh and ahhh uncontrollably.

Here is little Six. Yes, that is her name right now. Don't ask LOL! She's getting more fat on her now and has that solid feeling now when I pick her up. She's still tiny at 1lb/5 ounces at 7 1/2 weeks old. Her sister is 2lbs/12 ounces. She sure is getting cute though and I think she'll continue to evolve as she grows. She is out of Ch. Coryrex's Shooting Star x Ch. Moonstruck's Notorious.

Peek-A-boo (I had to put her in this little box to keep her still long enough to take a pic (:)

Isn't she just too cute!?

New pictures of Sam

Sam is an adorable black male puppy that is 9 weeks old. He's going to look a lot like his sire Gordy when he matures. He has a gorgeous head, topline, bone, etc., but he's available to a pet home.

Oh, if you are wondering what's on his ears...that is medical tape. Sometimes when they start teething around this age their ears can go all wonky. So we tape them and that seems to do the trick so they end up with nice "button" ears that lay correctly.

You can learn more about Sam on my website: http://www.arvaypugs.com/

Arvay's Seven Past Midnight

This is Seven at 6 1/2 weeks old. She's out of Ch. Moonstruck's Notorious and Ch. Coryrex's Shooting Star. Seven will stay here with us and we'll watch how she matures. I have high hopes for this little girl.

Black Pug Puppy

This is Sam. He's available to a pet home. I would of held him back as a show potential puppy but he doesn't have a long enough tail. Darn!! He's a little chunk, such a sweetie and I'm hoping to find just the right family for him. You can learn more about him by visiting this page: http://www.arvaypugs.com/page/available/
