We have retired from Breeding Bouviers. Just leaving this page up with some little updates here and there. Please if you are considering a Puppy please make sure BOTH parents are OFA/Penhip/Cerf CERTIFIED. Good Breeders strive for the overall health of puppy. Even though this is no guarantee for a healthy puppy, it's a good start. Don't go by the word of the breeder saying they are health tested. You want to see proof.

I AM YOUR PUPPY
I am your Puppy, and I will love you until the end of the Earth, but
please know a few things about me.
I am a Puppy; this means that my intelligence and capacity for learning
are the same as an 8-month-old child. I am a Puppy; I will chew
EVERYTHING I can get my teeth on. This is how I explore and learn about
the world. Even HUMAN children put things in their mouths. It's up to
you to guide me to what is mine to chew and what is not.
I am a Puppy; I cannot hold my bladder for longer than 1 - 2 hours. I
cannot "feel" that I need to p**p until it is actually beginning to
come out. I cannot vocalize nor tell you that I need to go, and I cannot
have "bladder and bowel control" until 6 - 9 months. Do not punish me if
you have not let me out for 3 hours and I ti**le. It is your fault. As a
Puppy, it is wise to remember that I NEED to go potty after: Eating,
Sleeping, playing, Drinking and around every 2 - 3 hours in addition. If
you want me to sleep through the night, then do not give me water after
7 or 8 p.m. A crate will help me learn to housebreak easier, and will avoid
you being mad at me.
I am a Puppy, accidents WILL happen, please be patient with me! In time
I will learn.
I am a Puppy, I like to play. I will run around, and chase imaginary
monsters, and chase your feet and your toes and 'attack' you, and chase
fuzzballs, other pets, and small kids. It is play; it's what I do. Do
not be mad at me or expect me to be sedate, mellow and sleep all day.
If my high energy level is too much for you, maybe you could consider
an older rescue from a shelter or Rescue group. My play is beneficial,
use your wisdom to guide me in my play with appropriate toys, and
activities like chasing a rolling ball, or gentle tug games, or plenty
of chew toys for me. If I nip you too hard, talk to me in "dog talk", by
giving a loud YELP, I will usually get the message, as this is how dogs
communicate with one another. If I get too rough, simply ignore me for a
few moments, or put me in my crate with an appropriate chew toy.
I am a Puppy; hopefully you would not yell, hit, strike, kick or beat a
6-month-old human infant, so please do not do the same to me. I am
delicate, and also very impressionable. If you treat me harshly now,
I will grow up learning to fear being hit, spanked, and kicked or beat.
Instead, please guide me with encouragement and wisdom. For instance,
if I am chewing something wrong, say, "No chew!" and hand me a toy I
CAN chew. Better yet, pick up ANYTHING that you do not want me to get
into. I can't tell the difference between your old sock and your new
sock, or an old sneaker and your $200 Nikes.
I am a Puppy, and I am a creature with feelings and drive much like
your own, but yet also very different. Although I am NOT a human in a
dog suit, neither am I an unfeeling robot who can instantly obey your
every whim. I truly DO want to please you, and be a part of your
family, and your life. You got me (I hope) because you want a loving
partner and companion, so do not relegate me to the backyard when I get
bigger, do not judge me harshly but instead mold me with gentleness and
guidelines and training into the kind of family member you want me to
be.
I am a Puppy and I am not perfect, and I know you are not perfect
either. I love you anyway. So please, learn all you can about
training, and puppy behaviors and caring for me from your veterinarian,
books on dog care and even researching on the computer! Learn about my
particular breed and it's "characteristics", it will give you
understanding and insight into WHY I do all the things I do. Please
teach me with love, patience, the right way to behave and socialize me
with training in a puppy class or obedience class, we will BOTH have a
lot of fun together.
I am a Puppy and I want more than anything to love you, to be with you,
and to please you. Won't you please take time to understand how I work?
We are the same you and I, in that we both feel hunger, pain, thirst,
discomfort, fear, but yet we are also very different and must work to
understand one another's language, body signals, wants and needs. Someday
I will be a handsome dog, hopefully one you can be proud of and one
that you will love as much as I love you.
Love,
Your Puppy

Crescendo's Bohemian Rhapsody aka Boh. Age 13 weeks

For those who are interested in one of the boys. I have Kilby available since the person he was promised to was unable to take him due to a family crisis and they wouldn't be able to give him the attention and training that was needed. He needs to be placed soon since he is now 10 weeks old and has learned all he could from momma. message me for details or call 410-371-2626.

Has everybody already seen this? Cracks me up every time!
THE FOUR TYPES OF DOG VOMIT
YELLOW URKA-GURKAS: Dog runs around the house and hides under furniture while making a prolonged "uuuurka-guuurka, uuurka-guuurka" noise. (This noise is the only thing guaranteed to wake up a true dog lover who is hung over from a post-dog-show celebration at 3:30 a.m. ) After mad scrambling to capture the dog and drag him outside, the episode ends with an indelible ten-yard line of slimy yellow froth from the living rug to the back door.
BLAP DISEASE: Dog exercises hard and (a) eats large mouthfuls of snow (Winter Blap Disease) or (b) drinks a bucket of water (Summer Blap Disease). Within two minutes of returning inside the dog spews out large amounts of clear slimy liquid while making a distinctive "blap" sound and sharp percussive noise as it hits the linoleum.
GARKS: Dog suddenly clears his throat with loud and dramatic "gggark, gggark" noises, generally followed by prolonged "iiikssss" and then loud satisfied smacking noises. There is nothing on the rug. Don't investigate; you don't want to know.
RALFS: Apropos of nothing, the dog strolls into the dining room and waits till your innocent dinner guests are all watching him. Then, with a single deep gut-wrenching "raaaalfff," disgorges the entire week's contents of his stomach on the dining room rug. Variation: then he eats it.
In all the above events, the dog is entirely healthy and indeed deeply pleased with himself.

Puppy Update: Momma Vanna and her two brutes are doing well. We just got back from the Vet's and the boys had their tails docked and dew claws removed. They are doing well and nursing on momma as we speak.
I panicked after I got them settled in I went the to bathroom. I came back and only saw one puppy and couldn't find the other. After making Vanna get up and searching the whelping box I found Bo snuggled under the heating pad. Whew, scared me.
While we were there I also had them give Vanna a once over and her incision looks fine and she looks great. She is not as engorged as she was last night so she is feeling better.
Kilby's weight today is 1 lb 8.2 oz and Bo's is 1lb 6 oz.

I've been up since 2:30 am waiting for these puppies to make their appearance. Active labor started around 5:15 am. Hopefully we will have a puppy by 6 am.

Woohooo! The vet saw at least 2 pups in Miss Vanna aka Ch. Crescendo's Whole Lotta Love! We will go back a few days before her due date to get an xray and the final head count!

Wow we have been busy. Here is our latest news. We have decided it's time to let Vanna become a momma. If all goes well she will be bred next week to Uno. Here is the link to the potential pedigree. http://bouvierpedigrees.com/cgi-bin/trial.pl?sire=39214&dam=23095&sirepattern=I.M.+Uno-Comet+de+Gimenex&dampattern=Crescendo%27s+Whole+Lotta+Love&gens=5&db=bouvier.dbw&submit=Create+Now

We are trying to decide if we want to deal with a litter of puppies that would be due in December. So much to worry about with a winter litter. I know some of you are waiting on pups from Miss Vanna aka Crescendo's whole lotta love. If you could just hold on just a few more months for a spring/summer litter.
