Good morning Jan! We are delighted with Bourbon, after a lot of research his temperament Mix was what we were after .
He weighs 6.6Kg, he’s a lovely boy, very affectionate, loves early morning cwtches (cuddles) . He took a while to crate train, he just wants to be where you are all the time. He’s quite a sensitive lad, just wants to be near us all the time. We leave him occasionally for an hour here or there but he doesn’t like it much.
He adores people, other dogs(slightly over zealously sometimes!) he’s pretty good when comes to training, knows basic commands - sit, paw, down & wait. We can tell when he’s actively listening & when not. We occasionally let him off lead but generally not due to him going off with any human that shows affection!

We love his get up & go nature, he loves the car, we’ve taken him camping several times which he loves. Taken him sea swimming, getting there with that one! He enjoys long walks now too. He can be quite head strong! He buries treats 🙄 then discovers them bringing in mud n all!  His health has been fine, I would say maybe a little delicate in stomach area similar to Yorkshire terrier temperament , lately he’s had skin irritation but we think that’s just long grass biters , we’re using special shampoo which helps.  

His coat is beautiful, long haired slightly coarse, we brush most days & take too groomers every three months as we like the long hair. He does shed a hair here n there but not too bad.  He is a magnet for bits of twigs & other stuff soo needs regular showers!!  He gets a lot of attention for his unusual colouring. He’s very gentle with children, loves curling up at the feet n giving occasional licks (loves feet). Not seen any aggression in him, he barked once at Belle the Airedale because she came near his bone! He barks very rarely, maybe if someone comes to door or out in walk if dog on other side of street but not often.

Hi Jan, thank you. He had a great birthday and had his first doggy cupcake to celebrate. Great news on breeding again. Hamish really is a wee delight and so loveable. He’s full of fun, loves a crazy hour of running around mad. He’s extremely content and also likes his own company. Very laid back, sometimes like a wee old man. Very intelligent too, didn’t take him long to learn the ropes and new tricks too. Only trait that he does have, is that yap of a bark. It’s not all the time, just when he wants to play with other dogs or tells us he needs out a walk for his toilet.  Can’t complain. He loves everyone, recently welcomed a newborn niece and he’s brilliant with her. We actually can’t take him anywhere for people stopping and admiring him. Hamish is 4.5kg. Fussy with his food, likes a change in menu a lot 😂. Gets groomed every 5/6 weeks. Great health and his teeth are perfectly straight and white. Lovely white/chocolate coat.

I recommend anyone to get a Hamish. He’s a fantastic mix. We are so lucky to have him.

Thanks for checking in. Hope you and your dogs are well ❤️ xx

Hi Jan,  It’s lovely to hear from you! We are all great thank you and hope your well!

Our girl is the best decision we have made 🥰 she is cheeky, loving, absolutely gorgeous and the love of our lives 🤍 she has got a soft think coat and it grows quite quickly so she Is groomed roughly every 6-8 week but we clip her short because with her long coat she was getting twigs and things stuck in her coat. She has the sweetest temperament and is very loving 🥰 she loves to be close to us and is a great mix of active and lazy lol she last weighed at 4.2kg. She is very mothering nature. She loves all other animals and loves to play with our 2 hamsters 🐹 lol she is submissive with other dogs and just wants to be friends with everything and everyone.
She has a habit of digging her way under our fence and has made an appearance in the neighbouring garden a couple of times. She is very clever and thinks she is part human haha. She is vocal when she wants our attention, out to the toilet and if you talk to her she will talk back lol 😂 she isn’t overly noisy tho.
She loves to steal our clothes and sleep with them or have a little chew at times. She was brilliant to toilet train and is absolutely brilliant at night sleeping and is great travelling in the car. She comes most places with us but if she is left at home she is quiet content till we comes back and can be left for 4 hours no problem.
I am absolutely over the moon that you are looking at doing another litter because we want to get Remi a brother or sister so she has company. She has such a wonderful temperament I think she would love it.

She is a great like girl and I’ll hugely grateful we have her in our life 🥰 xxn

Ziggy:

Hi Jan,  We can't believe Ziggy is one! He had a busy birthday with walkies, presents and cake!  I'll try and tell you as much as I can about him, I could talk about him all day!

At the moment he weighs 7kg. He is booked in to be neutered on 19th September so we know his weight may go up a little bit. He's just started lifting his leg, scent marking and crying for girls in the last couple of weeks so it's definitely time!
His coat hasn't changed much, he is still very soft and he doesn't shed. He has a few wiry bits in his tail but that's about it. It does grow fast and it gets quite long so he's needing groomed approximately every 3 months. His skin has gradually turned spotty! When he had his first proper groom we realised that the patch on his back is heart shaped when it's shaved short!
Ziggy is alway happy, friendly and sociable, he loves everyone. He has never once shown any kind of aggression, I always say he doesn't have a bad bone in his body! He has never growled at anyone. He is patient with the kids, for example if they pick him up for a cuddle he won't grumble about it, he'll let you do anything! All of our other dogs have been a bit grumpy if we ever woke them up or tried to get something off them but Ziggy is never like that and he has absolutely no issues with resource guarding or anything like that. He adores other dogs and idolises his cockapoo brother.

Ziggy has loads of energy and is always excited! Sometimes I call him the energizer bunny! The one thing I would say is that he does get VERY excited when we meet other dogs on walks. He just wants to say hello and play with them but he can be a bit barky when he can't get to them so this is something we're working on! He has always been around other dogs and has been socialised well so I have put it down to his personality! He does tend to pull on the lead as well, even with a no pull harness. Again its something we're working on and he will maybe calm down as he gets older!
He is extremely playful and loves toys. He likes to chew, especially hard plastic toys and toilet roll tubes! We have to keep important paperwork out of reach! I think he would live in the garden if I let him because he loves to be outdoors. He hates puddles but loves paddling at the beach for some reason!
I would say toilet training took a bit longer than I've been used to with other dogs but I put this down to him being so small and having a smaller bladder. At first he had to pee very frequently but as he's grown he's been able to hold it in longer. He will ring the doorbells or just sit and bark at the door when he needs out. He can sit and give us a paw but getting him to stay is still a work in progress! His recall is also something we're still working on. He is definitely getting there but he can be a stubborn little monkey sometimes! Our cockapoo is clingy and very eager to please and do everything he's told, I like to think of Ziggy as the complete opposite - he's a little bit cheeky! On that note he is not clingy at all and can be left for a couple of hours at a time. He also doesn't have a favourite person, he loves us all equally and is a real family pet which is a nice change for my husband and the kids because our cockapoo only has eyes for me!
I would say that personality wise I think Ziggy is more Schnauzer. He likes to "talk" and have a grumble and a yawn at me when he wants something - usually if he wants food or if he wants to play. I didn't realise this was a schnauzer thing until I saw videos on youtube of others doing it! I also think he has a little clock inside him because he'll come and do this at teatime too!

At the moment we love that Ziggy is *almost* one of a kind and unique but I'm very happy to hear there might be some more Boozers in the world soon, they are a lovely mix. Before we got Ziggy, my husband agreed to having two dogs but said he would never have three..... now he loves Ziggy to bits and wants another! So that's the power of these little dogs

Hello Jan.

I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch sooner, hope all is well with you & John not to mention your doggies x

Well Martini aka little miss Maggie Barker not related to Sue Barker 😀 has sweetest nature, friends with everyone even dogs on walks she likes to kiss most… adores kids!

With Maggie having no or very very limited hearing it’s been challenging getting her to respond she’s always too busy for eye contact this makes training /grooming etc very difficult I have to do it on her terms for now.

Maggie is a lengthy wee dog but remains short legged, her hair is more “ yorkie like “ whispy and fine, no shedding doesn’t grow fast at all, cannot get near Maggie with clippers!

Loyal 😂 yes this Velcro attachment is loyal, dare not get out of sight lines or she screeches like a banshee definitely the down side to Maggie hence little Maggie barker 🌸 she still looks a messy little scruffy babe you brush her and five minutes later you would never know she had seen a brush but adored beyond belief, no health issues and very light in weight.

Lovely mating Jan lovely baby and lack of hearing doesn’t stop this little lady

thank you for Maggie’s birthday wishes, every day is her birthday according to Miss Maggie Barker - she’s so so bouncy,
excitable but happy each minute of the day.
My chihuahua babies tia,honey & coco just haven’t taken to Maggie due to her exuberance.
Sure your new/planned litter would be welcomed by perspective puppy owners

I’m hoping as Maggie matures she may become more adaptable to grooming matters but for now every minute of her day is playtime!
Take care Jan xxxx
