This is all going way too fast, how can these pups already be three and a half weeks old?!?  Sorry for the delay in posting, I’ve had a respiratory bug and in the throes of my final two weeks of graduate school.  I will be done with grad school right when the puppies get super active, so I’m looking forward to that.  Velma and her litter joined us on the 27th of March, so it is exciting having so many puppies!  As of right now, all puppies have homes.  Here is this week’s YouTube video:   Here are some photos.

Folks have been asking about how I do picks.  I do breeder picks based on questions that I ask the new owners and evaluating the puppies.  I then assign puppies to owners around 6-7 weeks.  Owners will pick up their puppies at 8 weeks old, which is the weekend of May 9-10.  Please e-mail bluestemkennels@cox.net with any questions.

Nancy in Minnesota sent over a picture of Winston, who is from our “A” litter between Sue and Sam in 2010, making him 5 years old.  I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for 5 years now, it just seems like yesterday!

Duncan up in North Dakota from last year’s “H” Litter between Sam and Mae is already out enjoying his spring duties as a fish finder.

Thanks to my owners for the great puppy updates!  It is time to continue my constant quest to keep the mamas fed, watered and up on potty breaks.  I doubt I will get an update in this weekend since my comprehensive exam for my grad program is due on Monday, but I should be able to get something out early in the week.  Enjoy spring until then!
