Welcome to Mochobe & Co.

The puppies are ready for forever homes...

2011-01-18T11:59:00.000-08:00

The time has come. Today the puppies are 8 weeks old.

We’re a little sad, but more excited to see Mocha and Adobe’s last set of pups go to their new homes. We got their first set of shots and deworming yesterday.

We have all of their medical records and Dr. Young even gave us a puppy packet for each of them. Included in it is a starter pack of puppy food, sample flea treatment and other useful documents and literature on the health of new puppies. Each of the new homes will receive one!

So, if you or anyone you know is ready for a puppy, please contact us via nwclassifieds.com. Here’s the link and a screenshot of the ad itself:

Puppy Pics

2010-12-09T21:59:00.000-08:00

We haven't had much time to update the blog lately, but we've been taking at least a couple of photos of the pups everyday since they were born. Frankly, they haven't really been doing much besides eating and sleeping anyway. Now that most of them have their eyes open, they're entering, what Lindsey calls, the "fun stage" :)

Here are a few pics in the meantime:

Stay tuned for more pics in the near future!

Puppy update

2010-11-24T15:09:00.000-08:00

I think we were over excited yesterday when counting the pups, or that she had too many pups that we couldn't keep track. But Mocha actually had six boys (five chocolate, one red) and only one girl (chocolate).

Mommy and the pups are doing great!

The puppies are here!

2010-11-23T18:05:00.000-08:00

While Adobe (miniature pinscher) and Haven (doberman pinscher) were out playing in the snow today, Mocha (miniature pinscher) was nursing her third, and largest, litter. She had seven pups:

6 chocolate (2 females, 4 males)
1 red (male)

She had two pups in her first litter and six in her most recent. This is likely her last litter, so she definitely went out with a bang and her biggest litter!

Here are a couple of pics. Stay tuned in on the next 8 weeks as we'll take tons more :)

Mocha's still pregnant

2010-11-16T18:41:00.000-08:00

As promised, here are a couple picture of Mocha. She's due during the third week of November.

Here's Mocha, taking a quick break from watching Monday Night Football to pose for a pic:

She LOVES to cuddle. Here, Lindsey's about to start her nightly belly rub:

Sooooo tired!

It's also hard for her to get comfy :(

Here's Mocha and her entourage. Haven (doberman pinscher) and Adobe (miniature pinscher, dad) are her body guards :)

Anytime now! We're patiently waiting for the pups to arrive :)

Mocha and Adobe are expecting... again!

2010-09-24T12:00:00.000-07:00

This will be their third pregnancy and most-likely her last. She'll be due around Thanksgiving and the puppies will be available 8 weeks after that. Stay tuned for pics :)

Down to three

2009-12-26T22:41:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas! We hope you all had a fun and safe one with friends and family. We know we did :) For three of the pups, they spent time with their NEW families. It was a little sad for us to let them go, but we know that the three families we met will make wonderful forever homes for them which will also allow them to be the #1 dogs in their respective families.

With the holidays amongst us, it's sometimes difficult to find time for rest and relaxation. Peanut, Marley and Cinnamon, however, try to catch zzz's whenever and wherever they can. We've noticed that they've been sleeping really fast, and we think it's because they exert a lot of energy trying to get warm. It was easy to produce a 6-dog pig pile on their puppy pillow, but now that there's only three, they're trying to be really crafty by cuddling with Mocha and Adobe, their uncle Haven and even in the new Snuggie! Hahahaha.

Here are some funny pics of them being resourceful:

Let us know if you'd like to help keep one of these puppies warm by adopting them! They would LOVE forever homes :)

Take care!

More Photos for Monday Night

These guys are hilarious!

Saturday night - Puppy randomness

2009-12-18T19:00:00.000-08:00

With all of the holiday shopping, festivities and everyday tasks, we've been trying to spend as much time with the pups as possible. They'll be eight weeks on Wednesday and this will be our last weekend with three of them :( We're happy and sad at the same time :)

In no particular order, here are a few pics of them (and others) from the last week. They're growing so fast:

Mocha is such a good mommy. She's still trying to nurse as much as she can, even though she not producing much milk anymore. I think she's just taking advantage of the opportunity to spend more time with her babies:

Lindsey and her "favorite", Peanut:

She's cuddling with Peanut, while the others are tearing up their pillow. LOL:

Adobe Jr. looks in on the action:

Cinnamon is waiting for her chance to get in on it:

Jersey and Hazel look so innocent:

We made some starter bags for the pups' new owners, consisting of potty pads, a section of their favorite blanket to remember us by, two types of food, a food bowl, rawhides and squeaky toys (so far):

So tired from playing:

Peek a boo!

Marley taking a minute out of his precious play time to pose for the camera:

Peanut too!

Here's little 'ol Peanut playing with his 100+ lb Doberman uncle, Haven (the pups are GREAT with bigger dogs and humans too):

Despite getting cozy in the bed, Adobe Jr. still wants to play:

Haven wore out Peanut:

Ahhh, time for nap, finally!

Still tired :)
Marley HAS to sleep on the bed... so spoiled!

It's okay, more room for the rest of them :)

Puppy Updates

2009-12-13T19:55:00.001-08:00

The puppies will be seven weeks this Wednesday, which means they'll only be one week away from their forever homes. We're getting a little sad :( but know that they're going to make their new families VERY happy :) Here's an impromptu group photo of them, with labels:

(Click on any image to enlarge)

It's amazing how much LESS we have to train them than Mocha's first litter, Chubby and Tubby because they learn SO much from each other. They're becoming familiar with their potty pads and are pretty good at aiming :) It's like clockwork... They go:

-When they wake up
-Before they go to sleep
-After they play
-After they eat

House training a dog is a lot of work, but when it comes down to it, it's all about knowing your pup and repetition. As long as you take them outside (or in our case, place a potty pad down) before/after any of the times listed above, then s/he will get used to it and go on the spot. Try it ;)

Anyway, Marley was the first born and it definitely shows. He's definitely the most-curious and the most-influential. Here he is, peering over the "barrier" we put up between their play are and the non-play area:

He's definitely searching for a way to get to the other side. He even got his brother, Adobe, Jr. involved:

Here are all the chocolates. Realizing that they can't get over the barrier, rendezvous-ing on their pillow is usually the safest (and warmest) bet:

And back to Marley... he got over, but was pooped in the process. He made himself so tired that he put himself to sleep:

Works for us :)

Marley and Peanut (red, males) are both still available for pickup on 12/24. We also have one chocolate female available for pick up to. They'd be GREAT last-minute Christmas presents (I guess you can try to stuff them in stockings, but that'd be too obvious).

E-mail us for more info! Have a great week.

New Forever Home - Adobe Jr.

2009-12-09T19:39:00.001-08:00

Mocha and Adobe had three boys in their litter of six, but only one of them is chocolate. We felt it was fitting to name him Adobe, Jr. His new owner will probably rename him, but for the time being, he's his daddy's little man, errr, puppy.

What we DO know is he will DEFINITELY take care of his new family... Sorry ladies, he's taken :)

Here he is!

And here he is with his dad:

Adobe LOVES his sister, Jersey:

He also loves his brother, Peanut:

He's so handsome!

We Still Need Homes

2009-12-08T20:36:00.001-08:00

We still have two chocolate females and two red males available and looking for new homes :)

Allow us to introduce you.

Here's "Hazel", a chocolate female:

"Cinnamon", a chocolate female:

And here are the sisters together:

"Marley", a red male:

"Peanut", a red male:

and here are Marley and Peanut together:

They'll be eight weeks on 12/23 and will make 4 families very happy during the holidays :) Will one of those family be yours?

Puppies at Play (Video)

2009-12-07T23:24:00.000-08:00

Here's a quick video showing what the puppies do best :) They can entertain each other for hours... and honestly, us too!

New Forever Home - Cocoa (now Jersey)

2009-12-05T00:05:00.000-08:00

Today, we met the new forever owners of one of the chocolate females. We call her "Cocoa" but they're thinking of Jersey. Cute name :) Mocha didn't really have any runts in the litter (believe us, they came out healthy and hungry), but Jersey is the smallest one out of all of them. Isn't she cute?!!

We repainted one of her toenails to signify that she is accounted for:

We have two more chocolate females that will be ready for forever homes this new year! Would you like one?

Lots of pictures...

2009-12-03T19:24:00.000-08:00

...feel free to click on any photos you see on this site to enlarge the photos for much more cuteness :)

Group Photos

2009-12-03T18:51:00.001-08:00

The pups turned five weeks yesterday... FIVE!

They're getting so fast and are almost ready for new homes :( So, we have to take advantage of these photo opps as they arise :)

Here are all six, still able to all fit in two hands:

In order from left to right - Hazel, Marley, Cocoa and Peanut

New puppy pillow

2009-12-02T21:56:00.000-08:00

They LOVE their new puppy pillow... It's a nice change from the enclosed pen we built them :) Now that they're growing, they've been running around a lot and this pillow is a good place for them to rest.

Here's Marley, Cinnamon and Peanut checking out their pillow:

And here, they all are just trying to familiarize themselves with it:

Uncle Haven likes it too, but he's too big for it :)

Here's mommy and daddy (Mocha and Adobe) spending some quality time together before she has to feed her pups:

Mocha likes the pillow too!

Good night!

Time to Eat

2009-11-29T20:37:00.000-08:00

We noticed little teeth coming in last week and now they're fully out! That's great news for the pups, but bad news for Mocha :/ As you can imagine, she hasn't been nursing her babies as much and would rather spend time alone in her kennel than cooped up with them -- I wouldn't want hungry pups biting all over me either ;)

We've decided to start feeding them puppy kibble and they love it! We have to get a bigger bowl :)

Here's Marley (fat red male), Peanut (skinny red male) and Hazel (chocolate female) all posing for the camera before diving into the food:

And here they all are, going in for the kill :)

Mocha likes their food too, but she ALWAYS enters their pen at her own risk ;)

Love

Playful

2009-11-24T23:25:00.000-08:00

The sextup-pins (as we like to call them) are 4 weeks old today. Time flies! They're at that "fun" age where they're quite playful and very innocent :) Though they were running around today, we were able to sneak in a few photos of them. Enjoy!

Sleepy

2009-11-23T22:26:00.000-08:00

So far, this is what they do best:

Mocha's is so tired being such a good mommy:

Daddy Adobe and Uncle Haven are on night watch:

Mocha's First Litter - Chubby and Tubby

2009-11-22T21:13:00.001-08:00

Mocha had her second litter on October 28th. During her FIRST litter, she only had two... young mother = small liter :/ But, they were soooooooo cute too :)

So, if you're wondering what these six will look like, here you go.

You already know what they look like at two- to three-weeks, so here's what they'll look like at four:

Here's five- to six-weeks:

and here, they're about ten weeks:

Mocha and Adobe make great-looking, healthy babies :)

Check back this week for more photos of the current litter.

Mocha, the mama

2009-11-20T23:51:00.000-08:00

Here's Mocha. She's the most out-spoken out of all of our dogs. After having TWO litters, she's also the strongest out of all of us... Such a beautiful girl:

Adobe, their daddy

2009-11-18T21:53:00.000-08:00

Here are some photos of Adobe... He's handsome, huh?

Out of all of our dogs, he's calmest one :)

Come back tomorrow for some pics of his girlfriend, Mocha :)

Mocha and Adobe had their SECOND litter of min pins a few weeks ago, so this blog a dedication to them. ALL of them!

We'll have more info to come, but we just wanted to share a quick photo of a couple of them at one-day old.

Stay tuned for more!
