Elsa started her heat!
With Lexi and Zoe due any week now, we weren't planning on Elsa starting her heat quite this soon but she's not too far off her target and we will be doing progesterone testing next Thursday to confirm her cycle. If all goes well, we will be breeding Elsa (our female Serbian Bernese mountain dog) to Murphy (our male phantom standard poodle) with their puppies being due sometime around mid-March. Both are so friendly and human seeking and they both have a permanent grin it s
What do we feed our dogs?
We are often asked "what do you feed your dogs?" Like many of you, we have tried many over the years while searching for what we feel is the "best" prepared or raw food on the market.

Lexi and Zoe Pregnancies Confirmed!
Lexi and Zoe had their ultrasounds today and both are pregnant, embryonic hearts beating, and good healthy number of embryos!

We are blessed and thankful and excited to see the puppies that will be due in mid-January. We sure do miss Lexi and Zoe's last litters but so cool to see how they are growing up!
Life with the Carmichael Pack!
We have had a number of interesting calls lately and I have had this question come up a few times and thought we would share. The questions is: "what does your family life look like with all of your dogs in your home....what is your routine?" I often chuckle only because you have to truly love your dogs to have this many in your home...they are truly part of the family. So here's our routine (very flexible so this is just a normal routine that changes slightly by the time
We have an ultrasound appointment for Lexi and Zoe for Next Week
Our girls will be getting an ultrasound to confirm their pregnancies next Thursday, December 14th in the afternoon. We should be able to both confirm pregnancy and heartbeats.
