These beautiful puppies are a cross of "Mick" (Hearthside's McDreamy) and Heart o' Hearthside "Sadie". This is Sadie's first litter, and she's been an exceptional mother. Very attentive yet easy-going, she has taken wonderful care of these six litte ones. We have four distinctly red pups and two blond pups who will redden up later with ivory/blonde undercoat (like Mick).
*
All puppies are being wormed at 2, 3, 4 and 6 weeks of age. They are AKC registered. They are home raised and acclimated with children and other pets. They will be vet-checked by Apple Country Veterinary before being released to their new homes. Feel free to e-mail us at hearthsidekennels@gmail.com or call us at 585-392-2763 to schedule a time to visit these precious babies.
Price is $600.00.

Meet the Parents!!!!!!

"Mick"
Hearthside's McDreamy
Gorgeous stud from Thistlerock/Mioak/Top Brass lines out of Minnesota.
Mick's OFA hip certification is "Fair, permissable to breed", which
means his chances of hip dysplasia are vastly reduced.
His elbows are grade 1 and grade 2.
Since hips are the big thing with large breed dogs, we're continuing to
use Mick despite his elbow grades. Controversy over
elbow dysplasia is confusing to us as breeders and to
pet owners.
In all honesty, if most of our parents had been screened
few of us would exist. Since
elbow dysplasia is a controversial cause and effect finding
and Mick is a stellar dog with amazing agility and
no problems, we've decided to
continue to breed him.
Multi-generation certification and
American Field Champions, Canadian Field Champions,
Master Hunters and Senior Hunters.

"Sadie"
Well, this little lady wasn't supposed
to breed this time around.
Ahem.
But since she did, we'll keep her off her next
cycle and won't have pups out of
Sadie until next spring/summer again.
She's a peach. Sadie actually
"smiles" in the way that only some
dogs do. Adorable. Sweet.
Lovely, lovely girl.

From such small beginnings...

Welcome to Hearthside...

* 
We're country folk, new to dog breeding but not to business.  As our line of beautiful Goldens, Danes and mixed breed designer dogs grows, the Blodgett family extends a warm welcome to dog lovers everywhere. We pledge that our breed lines will come from varied pedigrees, and that we will only breed strong, healthy, gentle animals.
 *
Our dogs should not be mistaken for guard dogs. Raised with love, discipline, simple commands and lots of doggie treats, our crew of willing hands brushes, pets, walks and cleans up after dogs in good-natured fashion. While protectivism is fine for some breeds, we school the crew to accept direction, to play with gentility, to sit for 'pets', and that a gentleman always offers a lady a paw...
*
Which is as it always should be, LOL!
*
Of course, we've had the odd shoe go missing now and again. And I LOVE my shoes. What girl doesn't?


In those cases, we've agreed to disagree on the merits of shoe leather vs. Bobos and chew toys.

*
And yes, the occasional disagreement has led to heightened tones of scolding and chagrin. But that's why they make shoe stores, right? So dog owners can shop at will. 

*

We're happy to report that Ruthy's writing career is off and running.

*

Harlequin and Steeple Hill Books have just contracted a 4th book, a new series set in Allegany County, New York.

 Although she's very, very, very sorry she sorely neglected her dog website for months (chagrined sigh here, but keeping delightful editors happy is a really important thing. You understand...) she's amazingly happy that after years of work the elusive publishing contracts are now a reality! Her first book, "Winter's End" was given a 4 1/2 Star review by Romantic Times magazine, the second book "Waiting Out the Storm" was also granted a 4 1/2 Star review. Ruthy is fairly sure she's related to the reviewer.

"Waiting Out the Storm" is due on the shelves by July 1, 2010. Both books are available at e-harlequin.com and amazon, Barnes & Noble, Parable Books, Christian Book Distributors, etc.

And Waiting Out the Storm has a fine array of fun, farm animals including intriguing dog breeds.

Ruthy is delighted with the response her writing has elicited.

S-W-E-E-T!!!  If you'd like to see more about Ruthy's upcoming books, click the link below to go to her writing website.
