German Shepherd Puppies on Their Way!

Anna & Co — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 01:16:36 +0000

It’s been awhile since I have posted here, for the same reasons that most people have I am sure….just plain busy!! I am happy to report that all my GSD’s are good & healthy, enjoying summer and their country life here at CaMp TuRloCk!

It’s been almost 2 years since there have been puppies around here and now I am very excited to say that Roxanne from my first breeding is pregnant, her pups are due July 27. Here’s a little info on Dam and Sire…

Roxanne: OFA good hips and elbows, lives a country life with her owner/boss Zach (my son) on an almond ranch. She is active, smart and extremely well mannered.

Brando: OFA good hips and elbows, is the Sire from Deblyn’s German Shepherds, as you can see below he is all black & gorgeous.

No doubt this litter will be very nice!

If you are interested in a puppy I would be happy to answer any questions you have, just shoot me an email to: luxannas@gmail.com.

Luxanna’s German Shepherd Puppies are here!

Anna & Co — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 03:41:35 +0000

It was a long day here at my place, but all went well with Luna’s labor and delivery….

7 healthy squeaky new puppies!

There are 2 males and 5 females that will be ready for their new approved homes by the middle of December 2009, they will be current on vaccinations, pretty close to crate trained, loved & well socialized in a clean healthy country environment making a wonderful addition to your family!

I have had the opportunity to partner with Debby White of Deblyns.com who has been a responsible breeder for more than 20 years. We believe in the health of our German Shepherds with screening for hereditary health problems by a licensed veterinarian prior to breeding, OFA certification, a 2yr replacement health guarantee against life threatening hereditary disorders.

All puppies are expected to be spayed or neutered at the appropriate age unless sold as show quality, we believe this helps us to do our part against irresponsible breeding practices and to help reduce the growing number of unwanted dogs in shelters throughout the country.

If you are interested in a classic German Shepherd companion, go to my contact page to find out where to send me an email or give me a call for any questions you might have. To see our last litter snoop around here at Luxanna’s and see what my German Shepherds are all about!

Chow,

German Shepherd Puppies at Luxanna’s!

Anna & Co — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 16:12:55 +0000

Yay, the puppies are coming!

I’m very excited about our litter that is on the way, not only because it was such a wonderful experience that created a new bond between Luna and me, but the true reward was the happiness it brought to the families they went home with….I liked that feeling.

This last litter was a sweet group of pups full of personality with good temperments, I am pretty sure this new litter will be the same. They are from Rocco and Luna and are due in October and will be ready for their new homes by Christmas, a deposit will hold your pick of the litter.

So if you are interested in my little puppy breaths give me a call or email & we can chat about what kind of German Shepherd you are looking for!

Police dogs retire on ‘pension’….awesome!

Dog handler Pc Tony Herson retires later this year with Jake and Lennie

Police dogs are being retired on their own “pensions” and “health plans” by the Cambridge Shire Force.

It is believed to be the first force in England to take on the costs of retired police dogs.

Previously an officer would sign a disclaimer taking responsibility for the dog’s actions and medical care – otherwise the animal would be re-homed.

But now Cambridge Shire Police is paying for the food, vet bills and kenneling costs during an animal’s retirement.

‘Marvelous news’

So far eight police dogs in Cambridge Shire have benefited from the canine pension plan.

Sheila Maw, a dog breeder and chairman of the Retired Lancashire Police Dog Benevolent Fund charity, said: “Before we started three years ago we did a survey of all the police forces in the UK and none of the 90% who replied had a retirement scheme for dogs.

“It’s marvelous news that Cambridge Shire police are doing this, as many handlers have to give up their dogs when they retire through ill health or old age as they can’t afford to look after them.”

Mrs Maw said she did not know of any other police force which paid for its police dogs’ retirement in this way.

However she said the Avon & Somerset and Lancashire forces both had charities which supported their dogs in retirement.

Remember my friend Debby?

She did it AGAIN…..I came home with another puppy, I am addicted to puppy breath!

If you have been following me here on my dog blog, you know my story, if not let me bring you up to speed. I live in the country in Turlock, CA. I have had many dogs and can’t seem to live without them. I have been driving my hubby crazy for many years with our menagerie of pets and every time my German Shepherd breeder friend Debby has puppies I end up with one! The craziest is, as you see here I just sold 6 puppies of my own!

So meet Mr. Dex….

Dex is from Deblyns and TjR’s, their first breeding of the famous Champions Diva & Flex. I was given pick of the litter, I know that sounds awesome but there are strings attached….I must socialize, socialize, socialize and socialize, basically he goes where I go. Then there is the training, bathing & drying, manicures, pedicures, exercising, teeth work, road work all in preparation for hitting the German Shepherd show world.

Call me crazy but I am very greatful and excited for this opportunistic venture, so here I go…wish us luck!

How to prepare for your German Shepherd Puppy….

Just a little humor I wanted to share, I’m sure we’ve all been there at some point!

Pour cold apple juice on the carpet in several places and walk around barefoot in the dark

Wear a sock to work that has had the toes shredded by a blender

Immediately upon waking, stand outside in the rain and dark saying, “Be a good puppy and go potty-hurry up now — come on, let’s go.

Cover all of your best suits with dog hair. Dark suits must have white hair and light suits must have dark. Also, some hair must be in your first cup of morning coffee

Play catch with a wet tennis ball

Run out in the snow in your bare feet to close the gate

Tip over a basket of clean laundry, scatter clothing all over the floor, taking care to shred at least one of each pair of socks.(See above.

When the doorbell rings drop your dirty underwear on the living room floor, because that is where the pup will drag it anyway — after all, company is coming

Jump out of your chair shortly before the end of your favorite TV show and run to the door shouting, “No, NO! Do that OUTSIDE!” Miss the end of the program

Gouge the leg of the dining room table several times with a Screwdriver

Put chocolate pudding on the carpet in the morning, and do not try to clean it up until you return from work that evening

Take a warm, cuddly blanket out of the dryer and immediately wrap it around yourself. This is the feeling you get when your puppy falls asleep on your lap.

Come meet our friend Flex at “Pet Food Express” in Dublin!

It was a bitter sweet day at our home…bitter in that three puppies left, sweet in that they all went to great homes. It’s a good feeling knowing that all my puppy nurturing will be continued by their new families!

I would like to thank these special people for their appreciation of my first litter, because of their history and incredible love of the German Shepherd breed it makes my job all worth while!
