Originaly posted 4/23/02 - Puppies: 2 Merle
boys, 2 black boys and 2 brown girls. Half Beardie (other half unknown)
Born April 11, 2002. On the 23 March, we rescued Q from a kill shelter.
I was planning on fostering her and she does appear to be Beardie. Since
the shelter was out of town they did us a favor a let us have her with
the promise that we would get her fixed. I discovered she was ~40 days
pregnant (vet x-rayed) and it would endanger Q to take the pups.
Puppies will be ready to go to their new
Homes on 6 June, 2002.

Quincy
She is the first born and smallest - for that Mom Q thanks her.
Quincy is brown with a slightly darker muzzle. She has a great tail
wag and attentive personality. She will come wagging her tail when
called. She is very alert, very active and very confident. She likes
to play and likes attention. |

Quasi Aussie
He is a blue merle color with a blue right eye - very Australian
Shepherd in appearance. Can you imagine the herding instinct this
guy may have. He was the second born but the first out of the whelping
box and the first to growl. He likes to play and enjoys being cuddled.
He is the largest pup. |

Quinine
She is solid taupe with a dark muzzle. She is one mellow girl. She
will let you place her on her back and just look at you with her
dark eyes. She enjoys curling up in a lap but can growl with the
best of them. She is just behind Quincy with her confidence and
tail wagging. She is a little chow hound and will continue eating
when the others are playing. She does not mind spending time by
herself. |

Don Quixote
He has an absolutely adorable face with one blue eye. He has spots
of black and brown and appears to be partly Australian Shepherd.
He was the first to look around and check out what's going on and
the last to nap. He was the one that kept climbing out of the whelping
box, a very determined little guy. Yes, he is the one who caused
the gate to go up. He definitely will not be ignored. He is an active
guy and definitely the most vocal. |

Q-tip
He is predominantly black with just a little white on the tip of
his tail, a white mark over each eye, four white feet and white
on his tummy and chest. He is playful and inquisitive and likes
attention. He is thinner then Quinn and may be a little taller.
His hair is smoother then Quinn. |

Quinn
He is marked very similar to Q-tip with a thin white stripe on his
muzzle. He likes to cuddle and play. His fur is longer than
Q-tip. This little guy is trying very hard to be a Beardie. He is
a little shy and tentative in new situations but gaining confidence.
He is the last to get his teeth but this has not hampered his chow
time activities. |
| Mom Q is about 14 months
old, weights about 52 lbs. and overall very calm about everything
that has happened to her. Q shows no aggression toward the other
female adult dog, Ki, even with the pups, herds Ki and wants whatever
Ki has but waits for Ki to leave it. Q wants to be the center of
attention and pushes her way in. At present her play drive is low
keyed but this may change once the pups are weaned. She does give
good hugs and is full of Beardie Bounces. Q is a quick learner with
a mild stubborn streak. Q is a happy girl who has never met a stranger.
is a good mom without being obsessive and lets anyone handle her
babies. Contact info below: |
