NewMoon Mi-Kis

As some of you know, Cindi had a traumatic near death experience which left her reactive to literally EVERYTHING, which is - in part - the reason for our two year sabbatical and RV exploration of North America.

I’m trilled to share the following update with you as well as some additional photos of our journey through Canada, the US and Mexico. It’s been a wonderful adventure complete with many different experiences, challenges, learning opportunities and many new friends (both canine & human)!

So grateful and fortunate to have been able to spend this time together with Niko and Cindi and what a change in confidence in Cindi!

Cindi’s progress;

What you see in these first two photos would NEVER have been possible just a year ago!

The gate is wide open and she stayed calmly outside in this exact spot while I went inside to get the camera and took pictures. The dog next door was barking and still just calmly soaking in the morning sun. 🥰

She also meet the two dogs in the yard behind ours yesterday, one a little white Pomeranian fluff ball & a German Shepherd. Although she was nervous she managed to self calm herself, say ‘hi’ and let me know when she’d had enough- no barking or shaking or other neurotic reacting, just facing the challenge the best she could with someone she trusts to listen to her and keep her safe. 💝

Yep, definitely worth the learning, reading, practice, behaviour micromanagement (hers & mine 😂) and (sometimes frustrating 😶‍🌫️) efforts of the past year!

Pretty impressive for a little one who was reactive to literally EVERYTHING a year ago!! Now to figure out the ball thing….

Happy Halloween to everyone from Ginger and family!

** FYI / Update **

Our website has been retired, as have Niko & Cindi.

We are on a two year trek of the North American continent!

I’ll be helping Cindi discover the world is not such a scary place and teaching canine communications along the way.

If you’d like to meet Cindi or Niko or if you’re interested in learning some canine communication and behavioural techniques for your own pup, send me a message or text and - who knows - we might just be in your area! 😊🐶🐰

I’ve received a few inquiries since the last post regarding future litters, I thought perhaps II should add the following to generate a clearer picture and better understanding going forward so here goes.

NewMoon puppies and breeding policy going forward

NewMoon Mi-Kis will only be breeding litters on confirmed reservations going forward (ie deposit paid). The NewMoon website will be updated with new litter arrivals however the puppies will have all been reserved already except in rare cases. No one will EVER be forced to accept a puppy they don’t feel good about, connect with or just don’t want! Deposits are always transferable to another available puppy or future litter.

A minimum 2-3 confirmed reservations will be accepted before I’ll breed Cindy for the following reasons:

1. We really do mean it when we state that our puppies’ health & well-being comes 1st!
2. Due to her size, Cindy needs a very specific mate. Although a stud has been found, special arrangements to get him here are required.
3. Once her mate is here, he will need time to get comfortable with his new surroundings as well as his new companions.
4. She is unproven. (This means she’s never had a litter.)
5. I do not want to (and will not) cause Cindy or her mate - or Niko - any unnecessary stress or pregnancies.

So again, if - after all family discussions, lifestyle, health considerations,etc - a NewMoon puppy is the addition your family is looking for we’d love to hear from you! (We guarantee they are worth waiting for!! 🥰)

If you’re just looking for more information about the breed or our program, we’re happy to help with that too so don’t hesitate to call! 😊
