<br />
This year's PJs were a gift from Heather Davis and her talented seamstress mother, Risë, owners of Cinna and Aria of Fiona's Thirteen. They were made to the girls' measurements, and they fit beautifully!<br />

Yay!! Our BarkBox arrived! Rini is excited!! My whippets loooove BarkBox. If you'd like to try BarkBox, use this link and both you and I will get a free box. <span class="_47e3 _5mfr" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 0; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle;" title="smile emoticon"><img alt="" class="img" height="16" role="presentation" src="https://www.facebook.com/images/emoji.php/v9/fa5/1.5/16/1f642.png" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: -3px;" width="16" /><span aria-hidden="true" class="_7oe" style="display: inline-block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0px; width: 0px;">=)</span></span><br /><a data-ft="{"tn":"-U"}" href="https://www.barkbox.com/r/JOW0F21DZ0" rel="nofollow noopener" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">https://www.barkbox.com/r/JOW0F21DZ0</a><br /></div>

BarkBox is a monthly surprise box with 2 toys, 2 bags of treats or cookies, and a chewie -- all corresponding to the month's fun theme. There are options available for extra toys, and there is a free upgrade for super chewers. Every toy is guaranteed, so if your dog doesn't like it, or destroys it in 5 minutes, you can contact them for a credit in their BarkStore (with free shipping).</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We have the "extra toy" option, so each month we get 3 premium guaranteed chew-proof toys instead of two. They have all been a hit with our whippets except for one, and BarkBox quickly offered a $15 credit to their store when I emailed them -- with free shipping, and didn't require me to return the toy. The themes are also fun -- my husband Derek loves the packaging, it always has fun stories and illustrations.<br /></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
My dogs have become convinced lately that every single box that comes into the house is actually BarkBox, and they are disappointed when allowed to inspect and they discover a box is a non-BarkBox. Fiona's longtime conspiracy theory about the UPS man continues to stand, however. She doesn't seem to credit him with the monthly arrival of the BarkBox. </div>

She whelped 11 healthy puppies at home in South Carolina with Jo. Fiona was bred to our Welsh import, Denim, for a repeat breeding of <a href="http://timbreblue.com/fiona-sc/fionas-thirteen" target="_blank">last year's litter "Fiona's Thirteen."</a> The birth weights of these puppies was excellent, with the smallest arriving at 9.5 ounces and most of them over 11 ounces. Those are excellent birth weights for such a large litter! We're calling this "The City Litter" and have named the puppies for world cities: Rome, London, Tokyo, Austin, Bombay, Dublin, Rio, Vienna, Firenze, Montreal, and Aberdeen. We have 5 boys and 6 girls.<br />

<br />
An average-sized whippet litter is 5-7 puppies. Fertility runs in our line: Fiona's mother, Rini, had one litter of ten puppies, and Fiona's grandmother, Juliet, had 11, 12, and 12 in her litters. We also outcross, instead of "line breeding" or inbreeding as many breeders do, and outcrossing provide better genetic health through "hybrid vigor" -- <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis" target="_blank">here's a link for more about hybrid vigor.</a><br />
<br />
We do have a waiting list for this litter, but we might have a puppy or two available. If you're interested, we invite you to <a href="http://timbreblue.com/contact-us/questionnaire" target="_blank">fill out our questionnaire</a>, visit <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/timbreblue" target="_blank">our Facebook group</a> to get to know us better, and <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/timbreblue-whippets2" target="_blank">enjoy Fiona's puppycam</a> where you can watch the puppies grow up.<br />

We're so happy to announce a repeat breeding of Fiona and Denim, the parents of last year's May 23 litter ("Fiona's Thirteen") -- new puppies due July 13, 2017. We have a waiting list for this litter, but if you'd like more information, please contact us at inquiries@timbreblue.com<br />

Fiona is past the rough morning sickness phase and is feeling great! We're keeping up with her daily exercise, and she's had an increased appetite. She's getting daily fish oil (wild Alaskan salmon oil) for DHA and amino acids, folic acid, and Solid Gold Seameal vitamin supplement. At day 40, she will start getting an extra meal with fresh fish and Panacur (see our website for info on our Panacur Protocol).<br />
<br />
We keep our puppies with their mothers until ten weeks old, so this litter will be ready to go home in late September. We do not ship puppies, but new families are welcome to fly to Virginia (we're convenient to the Richmond airport) and fly their puppies home with them in the cabin. We insist on meeting all of our new families, and we're very selective about placing our puppies. A Timbreblue puppy comes with the lifetime support of the Timbreblue extended family. Most litters are all promised before they are born.<br />

Hi guys! We have a puppy or two available from our Aimee and Tula litter, born January 22, 2017. They are 9 weeks old and will be available to go home as soon as the first week of April. We'll be having a puppy party at our home in Virginia on April 1st for the new puppy families to meet, have some lunch, play with puppies, and take their puppies home.<br />
<br />
We have a very close-knit <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/timbreblue/" target="_blank">Facebook group for our puppy owners</a></b>, and it's always fun to put a name to a face with the people you'll be chatting with and comparing notes over the next few weeks (and years!) of your puppy's life. We're here to help with any and all issues, from housetraining to choosing sweaters and coats, any health problems or concerns, and, many years from now, letting go. Our puppies and puppy owners span the years and life stages of all dogs.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in talking with us about a puppy from Aimee's litter, please <a href="http://www.timbreblue.com/" target="_blank">check out our website</a> at <a href="http://timbreblue.com/">Timbreblue.com</a> and <a href="http://timbreblue.com/contact-us/questionnaire" target="_blank">fill out a questionnaire</a>, or <b>contact Sharyn at either (540) 464-8046 or (540) 784-8948 (or email <a href="mailto:inquiries@timbreblue.com">inquiries@timbreblue.com</a>)</b>. We'd love to get to know you, and discover if you're a fit for one of our babies!<br />

We just got an order from Amazon, containing 3 of the medium-sized <b><a href="http://amzn.to/2nZUJg7" target="_blank">Kong brand toy frogs</a></b>, and they are a big hit with our whippets!<br />
<br />
They're a great size for whippets, and the fur on the toys is as soft as silk. They come with a squeaker in their heads and a velcro pocket in their backs with an extra squeaker included. You can open the velcro pocket and put in the squeaker, then if your dog "kills" the squeaker, you can replace it with a new one. I love this feature!<br />

I highly recommend these toys, they're a great deal on Amazon right now at $4.69 with Prime shipping -- <a href="http://amzn.to/2nZUJg7" target="_blank">here's a link</a>: <a href="http://amzn.to/2nZUJg7">http://amzn.to/2nZUJg7</a><br />

There are many reasons people have to give up dogs and until you've walked in a whole lot of moccasins, it's best not to second guess them.<br />
<br />
Life does not always work out exactly the way we've planned and sometimes it is better for the <b style="font-style: italic;">dog</b> to go on to a second chapter in his life. Having rehomed a number of adult dogs, I know the pain and guilt involved, but I can say every dog we've let go to another home has ended up happy, spoiled rotten, with just as good (or better!) care than he or she got here. As hard as it is, I have never regretted it. I've missed the dogs, and still do, but I know I made the decision that was best for the animal, if not for my broken heart.<br />
<br />
These past couple of weeks, we've learned about several older dogs looking for retirement homes. The oldest of these dogs is ten, and they all still have life to live and love to give. My Ivy lived to five days short of 16, and up until two days before she died, was playing with her toys, running ahead of me on walks, and in general, running the household. Most whippets live to 12 - 14 at least and many make it longer than that with a good quality life.<br />
<br />
Older dogs are easier to live with than puppies, you don't have the whole housetraining issue, they're already leash trained, crate trained, over the carsickness...in short, as Walt says frequently, "If people knew about old dogs, we wouldn't be able to <i><b>give</b></i> puppies away!" Mature dogs are especially good for people who think they want a whippet but aren't ready to commit to a puppy or for someone looking for a companion for another whippet.<br />

And you would be amazed at how quickly they bond to you. Whippets are the original "love the one you're with" breed!<br />

We were inundated with emails about them and they found homes very quickly. Thanks so much to all of you willing to open your hearts and homes to them.<br />
<br />
Now we know of a few more. They are not here at Timbreblue, but I can put you in touch with their owners. I can tell you about a couple of them now and there are a couple more I believe with be available soon. None of these dogs are rescues. They are well-bred, well-loved and well-cared-for and are only looking for homes because life has a way of throwing curveballs. Most of them are mature adults...eight or nine years old, Their owners have decided that their circumstances have changed to the point that it would be better for the dogs to start the second halves of their lives in new homes where they will be just as pampered. This is a hard, hard decision to make and shows how much these dogs are loved.<br />

Babs came to us when she was 12 years old and many of our friends were horrified that her owners could let such an old girl go. But when the family had acquired Babs, they were mostly-at-home folks with a stay-at-home mom and three kids. Years came and went and suddenly the kids went to college, Dad was working out of town all week, and Mom went back to an eight-hour job...with a two-hour commute. Suddenly little Babs was spending all day and half the evening alone. She was miserable. Her family called to ask if we thought rescue would take her. She was still in good health, but her quality of life had been greatly reduced in the last year or two. We said sure rescue would take her, but we had a better idea. She could come live with us.<br />
<br />
It took Babs all of two days to adjust to us as her new family and we enjoyed her for a year before she was diagnosed with cancer. We wouldn't have missed that time with her for the world, and her last year was spent surrounded with love and other whippets, The moral of Babs' story is that older dogs can be perfectly content in a new home as long as they are spoiled adequately.<br />
<br />
Babs changed my attitude entirely about rehoming older dogs. I came to realize that these owners, far from being uncaring or irresponsible, are taking the best option for the <i>dog </i>rather than for themselves. It is an extremely difficult and selfless decision to allow an old friend to start a new life in another loving home when the first one is no longer the best one. Once when I was placing a young adult dog with family with children, the eight-year-old daughter exclaimed, "Now she will have more people who love her as much as you do!" Out of the mouths of babes...<br />

We've discovered that whippets love <b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013UQQVS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0013UQQVS&linkCode=as2&tag=timbreblue-20&linkId=CNWDURF3SPY2S5KH" target="_blank">cozy caves</a></b> more than anything in the world. Cozy caves are a type of dog bed that has a built-in cover, sort of like a built-in blanket and your whippet can "nest" in the cozy cave without needing assistance with covers. They're just a requirement for any whippet owner, and multiple whippets require multiple cozy caves. The following is a link to the large-sized cozy cave, but you might want to look into the extra-large if you have the space and multiple dogs. Cozy caves rule!!<br />

My dogs consider the UPS guy "the chewie man" because I order so many chewies from Amazon, and they greet him with enthusiasm! Rini and Ceri can spot an Amazon box from across the room!<br />
<br />
Chewing is an essential part of keeping your whippet's teeth clean -- and keeping her entertained! We have tried all kinds of chewies, and there are tons of good ones, but these are the kinds we tend to order again and again.<br />

<h3>
<b>1- Braided bully sticks</b></h3>
Bully sticks last a lot longer than most chewies, and braided bully sticks last even longer. This brand has very little mess or odor, and our dogs just love them. Beware, they are very addictive and your whippets will quickly learn what the words "bully sticks" mean, and will come running!<br />

Tendons are a bit faster to chew than bully sticks, but they cost a good bit less, as well. My dogs absolutely adore them, and I've heard only good reviews from other whippet owners, as well. My dogs go absolutely NUTS when they can smell beef tendons inside an Amazon box -- there is no fooling them! I tend to order the bigger bag and just keep them on hand. This brand is not messy or smelly.<br />

<b>Also excellent are buffalo/bison tendons,</b> cheaper than beef but a tad more messy. Buffalo tendons should be fine unless you have a white couch or carpet. They are basted, which makes them taste better to the dogs, but can leave a little bit of residue. If you do have light furniture, these would make a nice crate reward treat.<br />

<h3>
3- Rawhide mini bones, twists, and flips</h3>
Rawhide has gotten a bad reputation in the past few years, but it's a tried-and-true safe chewie for dogs and lasts a good long time. Whippets adore the tiny twisted bone-shaped rawhides, either plain or flavored.<br />
<br />
You can also get rawhide twists (our favorites are Dingo brand) which last a little less time, but are smaller to store.<br />
<br />
Chew flips last longer than any of the other rawhide products. Green Cow produces all-natural, made in the USA chew flips in a big 5-pound bag. Our dogs love them and they last for a long time! Natural rawhide bones, twists, and flips have no mess and no odor.<br />

Knuckle bones are an excellent way to naturally clean your whippet's teeth. They ADORE knuckle bones, even puppies who are too small to pick them up! Keep an eye on your dog though, if she chews too emphatically she could crack a tooth. Knuckle bones can be a bit messy, so you might want to try them as a crate reward treat. They last months and months!<br />

Hooves are a natural source of protein, made from trimmed and sanitized cow hooves, and provide a firm chewing surface for whippets with an entertaining shape that helps massage gums and clean teeth. Chew hooves last a long time, and although they occasionally disappear under the sofa, when found again they provide tons of more entertainment for your dog. Chew hooves are another "very hard" chewie that could cause tooth fractures -- keep an eye on your whippet to make sure she doesn't chew too hard. No mess and no odor.<br />

Pepper is a gorgeous brindle and white boy, two years old, who just wants love. We are helping his owner rehome him due to some catastrophic personal events. Pepper is housetrained, leash trained, trained to use a dog door, and good with other dogs. He will stay in a crate (though not too happily), but left loose in the house has not been destructive at all. </div>
<br />
We didn't breed him -- we just happened to be in the right place at the right time to help him out.<br />

Pepper is a little anxious and really wants to be with you -- touching you! -- all the time. He needs a home with:<br />
-- an owner who is home most of every day<br />
-- another whippet<br />
-- someone who has lots of love to give him,<br />
-- a home where there are not too many surprises and things are on an even keel.<br />
<br />
There is nothing he loves better than to snuggle up next to you on the couch while you read or watch TV.<br />
<br />

Some of the anxiety will probably ease as he gets comfortable in his new home.He has had a confusing couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
Pepper is neutered and AKC registered. I'll get some better pictures in the next day or two.<br />

<b style="font-size: x-large;">Dashiell</b><br />
<br />
Dashiell is a three-month-old Cirpet (cross between whippet and Cirneco dell'Etna - see earlier posts). He is a typical, rowdy little boy, quick to learn and mostly cooperative. He's three quarters of the way to housetrained and 100 percent paper trained. We're working on leash and crate training!<br />
<br />
He seems to have more whippet qualities than Cirneco at this point and looks pretty much like a purebred black whippet. He will probably mature out to about whippet size or a bit smaller.<br />
<br />

Dashiell would make a wonderful dog for someone with an active lifestyle. He'd be thrilled to live with a runner or someone interested in agility, flyball, obedience, etc. Or he'd be fine in a less active household if he had another dog to play with an a fenced yard. He is energetic, but not Jack Russell energetic, if you know what I mean.<br />
<br />

Both of these dogs come with the Timbreblue "lifetime takeback" guarantee -- they can come back at any time in their lives if life doesn't go as planned for the owner. You also get a lifetime of support with any problems or questions; a bag of books, chewies, treats, toys, and other stuff; an invitation to the Timbreblue reunion every October; and support and encouragement from the ever wonderful Timbreblue family of owners.<br />

<br />
I would love to get these boys into their new homes within the next week or so. If you are interested, fill out our questionnaire (under contact us at timbreblue.com) and then drop me a note or call me at 540-464-8046 and we'll talk!<br />

He lives with the Bartletts in North Carolina, who also have Tiger Lily's sister Cammie and one of the Pelton pups, Cooper. Also Geordie, a rescue, and Britt, from Yvonne Sovereign. I think the Bartletts are officially over the edge now and have joined the Potato Chip Club. We love placing dogs with them because they do so much with them. Brodie is fated to become a therapy dog!<br />

While they were here to pick up Brodie, they got to meet Dashiell too. I didn't bring the whole puppy pack out because I was afraid they might change their minds if they saw the effect all five would have on the living room.<br />

As far as how they are turning out physically, Beth and I determined that Daphne and Dashiell look pretty much like purebred whippet puppies at this point and Cirneco is more visible in Conan and Wilkie.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was actually no permanent damage to the living room and Beth will recover from the puppy bites and scratches. Most everyone is past the biting stage. Except Wilkie. He and I are going to have to work on that before he has more company. Definitely before Beth will come back.</div>

<br />
We began to think about new homes for them and what we should charge for them. Oops litter or not, they were great puppies!<br />

I said I had no idea what to charge. Walt asked, "Did you stay up all night with Rowan?"<br />

"Will they go with a health guarantee?"<br />
"Totally." I recited from our sales contract.<br />
<br />
<b><i>If at any time during the life of the dog it develops health problems that in the opinion of two licensed veterinarians are of an inherited nature, that are unexpected in a dog of that age, and that will interfere with the dog's function as a pet, Purchaser agrees to contact Kennel. Purchaser may return dog and Kennel will rebate 75% of the purchase price; or keep the dog and Kennel will rebate 50% of purchase price. If at anytime during the dog's life, it develops a condition thought to be hereditary, the Purchaser will provide the Kennel with details, whether or not a refund is requested.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
(Okay, I really had to look up the wording, but I knew the gist of it.)<br />
<br />
<br />
"Will we take these puppies back if there is a problem?"<br />
"Of course. At any point in their lives. You know that."<br />
"And we will always refund at least part of the purchase price."<br />
"Yep."<br />
<br />
<b><i>Right of Return: Dog may be returned to Kennel for any reason at any time following purchase. If returned within one month from purchase and provided that the dog has not been injured in any way the Purchaser will then be entitled to a refund of the original purchase price. Refund amount will be reduced by 10% of purchase price for each additional month or fraction that dog is kept. </i></b><br />
<b><i>However, regardless of the provisions above, if the dog is voluntarily returned to Kennel at any age, Purchaser is entitled to a refund of 20 percent of the purchase price. </i></b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
"Do you plan to offer rebates for training classes and titles like we do for the whippets?"<br />
"Yes. They need puppy kindergarten and obedience classes and you can even show them in some AKC events so we want to encourage people to get involved with their dogs."<br />
<br />
<b><i>Performance Rebates: Kennel will pay the following rebates on receipt of proof that the dog has successfully completed the following AKC or UKC classes and titles</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Puppy Kindergarten -- $25.00<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></i></b><br />

<br />
Walt's point was pretty clear. The Cirpets are not shelter dogs or rescues or unwanted in any way. Even though they were an unplanned breeding, they are well-bred and have been well-raised.<br />
<br />
So then I asked our daughter/partner Johannah, who usually cuts to the chase.<br />
<br />
$750 she said without hesitation.<br />
<br />
"How did you arrive at that?"<br />
"They are half a whippet. We should charge half what we charge for a whippet."<br />

Jo is keeping Ceri and about now is wondering why. Puppies are fun, adorable, delightful, snuggly and maybe the best thing in the world. They are also mischievous, destructive, stubborn, and<i> busy! </i>But Ceri is too, too cute and no one can stay mad at her for long!<br />
<br />
Just when I thought I would get the fall and winter off from puppy rearing, our Cirneco dell'Etna Rowan let me in on a little secret she'd been carrying.<br />
<br />

<br />
And she found herself in an awkward predicament.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But as I told her, though it was certainly not something we would plan, puppies are puppies and we love them all. She presented us with six black Cirpets (pronounced Chir-pets) on August 14,<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Why black? Humor me while I give a micro-genetics lesson. The color blue in whippets is actually black with a dilution gene. Think of it as pouring bleach over a black dog (but don't try this at home). The dilution gene is recessive, though, which means both parents have to carry it before they can produce dilute puppies. Rowan, being a Cirneco, does not carry a dilute gene. Also, black is dominant to chestnut, so about the only color we <i>could</i> get was black. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And boy were they black. We had to color code them as they were born so we could tell them apart. Two girls, four boys, all healthy.</div>

Well, wait. We did know <i>how</i> she got pregnant (we have, after all, been breeding dogs for 30 years or so), we just didn't know when or how they managed their little tryst. So the puppies were named for classic mystery writers: Edgar Allan Poe, Dashiell Hammett, Daphne du Maurier, Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Wilkie Collins.</div>

Today is Monday, September 14, and Siren's pups are 8 weeks old today!! They continue to be sweet, smart, intuitive, adorable, and charming puppies every single day.<br />
<br />
We are lucky enough to have wonderful homes for all of her puppies, and though they are traveling wide and far -- Velvet to Charlottesville VA, Dita to Atlanta GA, Cherie staying here in Camden SC, Channing to Concord NH, Marco to Virginia Beach VA, and Cashmere to Durham NC -- all of our new owners are active online so we're confident that we can stay in touch and get photos via Facebook as the puppies grow up.<br />
<br />
Here's a photo of the babies sleeping peacefully tonight.

They are fat, sassy, healthy and smart. This litter has been so vibrant since day one, they have been so easy and such good babies. We are lucky to have all of them placed. I'll introduce you to all of the puppies and where they are going.<br />
<br />
Firstborn "Velvet" will be "Beatrice" and will be moving to Charlottesville, VA with the Yamauchi-Carson family.<br />
<br />
Second born "Dita" will be "Raleigh" or "Timbreblue Suede Shoes" and will be going to Atlanta, Georgia with the Rhodes-Osborne family.<br />
<br />
Third born "Satine" will be "Cherie" or "Timbreblue The Runaway" and will be staying here at Timbreblue in Camden, SC.<br />
<br />
Fourth born "Channing" will be going to the Szpara family, to join his Timbreblue sister Lulu, in Virginia Beach, VA.<br />
<br />
Fifth born "Marco" will be "Argyle" and will be moving to Concord, NH with the McNeal family.<br />
<br />
Sixth born "Cashmere" will be "Alice" or "Timbreblue Alice in Glitterland" and will be moving to Durham, NC with Terry Kruger.<br />

I have to be careful when I give her supplements, and make sure she eats something with them, or they upset her stomach. She's taking folic acid and fish oil (for the DHA) every day. She's looking bigger and bigger every day!!<br />

We've started doing this with every litter and it's SO MUCH FUN! All of the families come together, we put out a great picnic lunch, and we all just hang out for the afternoon with puppies and food and fun. We have a good bit of land -- 7 acres -- so there is plenty of room in the meadow behind our house to spread out blankets and a big exercise pen for the puppies (when they are not being cuddled!!). I can't wait till the next one!<br />
