Ross

BHRR did its 390th approved adoption today! 🙂

One of our BBBBB’s was ADOPTED today!

BHRR’s Ross(5.5 months old), one of the Great Dane Puppy Pile cuties. 🙂

Thank you so very much to this lovely home for all of their patience and understanding throughout our detailed adoption process. A true pleasure in working with your home!

Your hospitality was really warm and both boyz had a blast! Your stairs soon became a fav *game* for them. 😀 They found that table particularly *delicious* also! :p

Proud of both of these boyz with their overall Cat manners too. Really proud of them. 🙂

Both boys really had a great time at this home-visit and BHRR’s Ross *edged* out his brother for being the best matched fit for this home. BHRR’s Ross so quickly developed an affinity to them both and it was truly sweet to watch.

BHRR’s Corbin, your own special and wonderful home is out there….we remain patient and in the mean-time you are living a grand life with us. 🙂 Your brother BHRR’s Haven Dog Granite and your sister Dynamo were excited to see you when we arrived home today. 🙂

For me, this was a touching home-visit as this home is related to a home that was approved to adopt another one of the BHRR Puppy Pile Great Dane babies in July. 🙂

I cannot thank Gail and Mason enough in doing this home-visit with me and we are so delighted to see another outstanding home become part of the *BHRR Fam*. 😀

On Wednesday, it is BHRR’s Flame’s home-visit for her own possible approved adoption.

We are all tucked in safe & sound in our hotel room for the night!

Tomorrow is a home-visit to see if one of our remaining two BHRR Great Dane Puppy Pile pups are a right match personality fit!

BHRR’s Ross had his first hang out experience in a hotel last Sunday when he had a special picnic snack play date with BHRR BOD member Mary. 🙂 Mary was up visiting from Oshawa for our annual Dine with the BHRR Doggies event. 🙂

Mary also clearly showed him the comfort of a human bed! 😉

Both boyz, are doing fabu!! Many compliments on how well behaved and stunning they are… 🙂

The Puppy Pile are now 5 months of age.

BHRR’s Ross had a special snack picnic play date today! Thanks to BHRR BOD Mary for having him! This is a photo I took when I went to pick him up and we sat for a bit and visited in her hotel room. 🙂

BHRR’s Puppy Pile Ross
August 19th, 2016
4 months of age – b. April 14th, 2016

Great with kids of age ages, adults and loves other dogs and he takes absolute joy in carrying sticks like his brother!

Housebroken, crate trained, travels wonderfully in a car, bomb proof as he is so well balanced/sound, fully vetted including microchipped and he is one of two remaining BHRR Puppy Pile puppies that we are hoping to place into a right matched foregver loving home!( 7 were born).

This litter and their emaciated mom has truly been an absolute delight to have assisted…..

Thank you Liz Bradley, Heather Hunter & Mason Ross Boers for all of the assistance with these gorgeous photo’s!

Two lovely young ladies and two lovely young BHRR Dane pups – Ross & Corbin – today at our Pet Valu Stittsville Event! 😀

14067782_1101768019890028_7938554942689915630_o

 

This handsome Great Dane dude is BBBBB’s Ross – 16 weeks of age and he plus his equally handsome brother Corbin had their latest professional photo’s today thanks to the help of Liz, Heather plus Mason!

Corbin blew it out of the water with his great manners and obedience taking photo’s and well…..what can I say, 😀 BHRR’s Ross was spot on until a leaf blew, a blade of grass bent, saw the camera, was hoping for a treat, saw Mason, saw Corbin and well, in general any distraction that could pose fun and all manners were *off* and he then broke his sit/stay and the lay down/stay! 😛 What fun he is!!

Distraction training is the hardest to get through and overall even BHRR’s Ross did fabu, the ham!

For 16 weeks old puppies, their leash and collar manners are great. BHRR’s Corbin per Heather was self-correcting beautifully and neither cars, squealing tires or brakes, lawn mowers and buses etc., phased my babies one bit as we walked on sidewalks, crossed the roads etc.

Heather even commented so kindly about how wonderfully social both boyz are…thank you for such lovely praise!

It was great to see Liz plus Heather again and thank you all for your time and caring hands to give these two still available for adoption pups yet another amazing experience.

Liz thinks she can get these prof photo’s to us next week and we will update their blogs plus the Facebook adoptable album at that time, plus their Petfinder bio’s! So appreciative for the assistance in capturing these two amazing Boyz in their latest professional photo’s!

Both of these BHRR Puppy Pile puppies shall also be at Pet Valu Stittsville tomorrow between 10 am – 4 pm!! 🙂

Heather thank you for your sweet heart for the toys, meds and that adorable bow tie!

VIDEO: Of my 9+ year old blue Great Dane Bronson with four of the BHRR Puppy Pile! 🙂 They are now 16 weeks of age.

The BBBBB’s of Corbin and Ross are still available for adoption! Both of them shall also be with us at Pet Valu Stittsville on Saturday August 20th @ our first community education event since May!

 

Well, this afternoon we braved the terrible rain/wind with poor visibility for the BHRR Great Dane Puppy Pile’s 16 week old Vet Visit and Boosters etc. 🙂

BHRR’s Corbin – Available for Adoption – weighed 27 Kgs(59.4 pounds)
BHRR’s Ross – Available for Adoption – weighed 26.2 kgs(57.64 pounds)
Cookie Dough Dynamo – Adopted – weighed 27.8 kgs(61.16 pounds)

All are lean, muscled and healthy plus so happy, not to mention social!

Later this week, the BBBBB’s of Ross & Corbin, will have their next professional photo’s done to help their right matched forever loving adoptive homes find them!!

I have also heard recent news from two of the three other BHRR puppy pile pups that were adopted in July and both are doing well plus both have started their mandatory obedience classes. 🙂

Thank you Rebecca for this great photo of the BHRR Puppy pile that were at Liston Animal Hospital today!

Many thanks being sent out to BHRR BOD member Mary for the extra puppy wrangler hands yesterday!!

Mary lives in Oshawa and was still in town from our incredibly successful – 9th Annual KAH/BHRR Fundraiser on the 10th, humbling $5,300+ raised and still counting as the silent auction funds come in. Final total will be announced. 🙂

I said to Mary that if she wanted more puppy time we would be at LAH yesterday and thank goodness for her experienced loving hands! 😀

The BHRR Puppy Pile x 7 are now 5 – two approved adoptions this week – and while their leash manners are really quite good – when one puts on the brakes or wants to change direction, so does another and sometimes another! :p

We made quite the wonderful scene walking into the Hospital stopping cars and bystanders alike as these truly beautiful and special rescue litter skipped, hopped, walked, trotted plus pranced and bounced their way in! 🙂

BHRR’s Slate weighed 19.1 Kgs
Cookie Dough Dynamo weighed 18.3 Kgs
BHRR’s Granite weighed 18 Kgs
BHRR’s Corbin weighed 18 Kgs
BHRR’s Ross weighed 16.2 Kgs

We are still accepting applications on two of our Puppy Pile babies(Ross & Corbin), who are 12 weeks old today!

BHRR’s Slate is under a pending adoption at this time. His home-visit, of which we are truly excited about is tomorrow.

Those familiar with our adoption processes and as openly explained to anyone that asks, BHRR only places per right matched personality fit.

We believe that each reputable/quality rescue out in the world operates in the manner that they feel is in the right/best interest of those in their care. Great Organisations will share similar processes and they will/may also have different procedures plus requirements, and we will all share the common goal of making sure that those we are entrusted to do right by are done right by, each and every time.

For BHRR, we do not entertain many applications on any one dog and then review to choose what we feel may be ‘best’ out of those applications. We take each application as they arrive in the order they arrive and the application is thoroughly reviewed in our detailed adoption process to then determine if said home is the right matched personality fit for our dogs.

Our approach to application processing in addition to our assessment/evaluation/rehab programs, enables us, to continue to have such extreme high adoption success. We were 100% in over 10 years of operating and now we are 98% as we go through year 20. In 20.5 years, we have only ever taken back 7 adoptions. While we sincerely wish we could still have had a 100% success rate, we know that no matter how thorough an adoption process can be, it is not perfect. 🙁

However, we remain proud and thrilled with this high number in success stories for our dogs/homes since our inception in 1996!

AND we are on our way!

BHRR’s Slate(BHRR’s Granite can also be seen!) – the litter shall be 12 weeks old tomorrow!

The remaining of the BHRR Puppy Pile x 7, five of them are on their way with Sean/I to LAH for their next exams, boosters and weights!

I have been asked several times, why if BHRR’s Slate is under a pending adoption and that his home/visit is Friday, am I doing his next boosters/exams and not letting his new possible home pay for them.

This is because he is still under BHRR’s care, has not yet been approved to be adopted and it is time for his next boosters and this is part of our proactive/preventative Vet protocol. 🙂

We do not cut corners at BHRR. Just as it is about always having the right matched home be approved to adopt any of our dogs, it is always about doing it right in vet care, training plus rehab for every dog we are entrusted with. 🙂

Happy Sunday to all!!!

The BHRR Great Dane Puppy Pile x 7 and Sean :p plus one of my own Danes, my Big Blue Bronson are checking out the new yard area being constructed for the puppies who are now 10 weeks old!

They have their own almost 1/2+ acre fenced yard with direct access to the house and the rec room with couch, futon bed, TV, two fish tanks and soft dog beds, toys and more! Until they are big enough to run with zee big dawgs, this is their new digs! They were weaned off all pee pads almost a week ago and rarely an accident being had. They ask to go out and take themselves out when we are hanging with them and the door is open. 🙂 Sun and shade and lots of items to stimulate them physically plus mentally.

Today, they were active and awake for over 4 straight hours and finally are all crashed out for a power snooze, some even snoring loud enough to compete with the bigger Danes! 😀

This picture was taken before Sean laid down the T-posts and we expanded the area outward.

We hope all are enjoying this weekend safely with loved ones!!

Puppy Pile Photo – April 24th, 2016
10 days of age(born April 14th, 2016) – Mama GD Marbles Litter – She had 8 puppies yet sadly, one lovely merle male boy was stillborn and almost 30 minutes of working on him could not revive him. 🙁

All were weighed again yesterday and all are gaining well.

The one dark merle male boy that was born quite sluggish, continues to have some aspiration issues. He has been into see the Vet once already and we are monitoring him and all the puppies closely.

There are 4 boys and 3 girls and even the wee BBBBB runt female has caught up to the rest of the ‘gang’. She is feisty! 🙂

The puppies are back to see the Vet on Saturday AM as they will then be 2 weeks of age and time to begin their de-worming protocol.

AND, yes, for those that keep asking, this is a single breed GD litter of puppies AND NO, they are not yet ready for adoption AND shall not be for a long time to come.

All BHRR Great Dane Puppy Pile x 7 in the same canvas basket, the same one I used to bring 14 day old BHRR’s Ember and Flame to BHRR in back on December 7th, 2015.

Within 5 days, only two could fit comfortably into it! 🙂

4:50 AM puppy #3 Black male – 1 pound 8 oz. Another great weight.

Here is a photo of the whelping/nursing box. 6 x 5 x 2 feet. AND we put an Xpen with a door also along the side. Whole section beside the box for room for mom to leave pups and eat/drink and get some alone time….

12670631_10153930535190923_4619922541191081068_n

ISO:

1) Pee Pads
2) Someone had a wading pool and trying to remember who from a previous thread. Wondering if we can borrow it?
3) Towels
4) Blankets
5) Puppy food – for Mom right now
6) Soft Bath Mats – the ones from Pet Valu are fabu
7) Pinesol
8) Very Large Garbage Bags
9) Esbilac – Powder, not liquid

BHRR has been working on a cruelty/neglect case for the last week. All of the Danes are now in r/q care with other GD groups that we network with except for the one that ACO really wanted to send our way.

Today, this Dane was brought to see Dr. Liston at LAH.

As you can see, BHRR is having puppies. At least 8 were counted by Dr. Liston. Mom is so skinny herself and as we specialize in the emaciation cases, we were specifically asked to take her in, even, if we could not take the others that we then found other great places for.

We are calling her BHRR’s Marbles and one of the ACO officers wants to adopt the mom when she is ready. That is touching news.

Mom is due within the week and we are working to prepare all that we need beforehand.

If anyone has any of the above items and would not mind sharing or donating, we would be so appreciative. contactbhrr@gmail.com

BHRR has only helped three dogs to date in 2016 and this mama to be is the next in need of us…urgently so….

Thanks in advance!
