One Big Happy Fam

​

Marge lives with us on the 'Dood Ranch'.  I helped deliver her at my mom's house in 2021, and she earned the name "Large Marge" from my mom because she was a big newborn and shoved her smaller littermates off the milk.  She is sable colored, weighs about 22 lbs,  and she gets her steps in every day playing in the yard, going on walks with her best dog friend Norma, and following us around the house.  She takes her time getting to know new people, preferring to keep her distance a bit at first, but by the third meeting she's ready to be friends.    Marge has a clear DNA panel, OFA Good hips, OFA normal patellas, OFA normal elbows, OFA clear eyes, and she's tested clear for a common TT condition called NCL (neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis).  We test above and beyond the level recommended by the national breed club, and Miss Margie has passed all of these tests with flying colors.    She's helped entertain 3 litters of puppies since coming home with us as a puppy herself, and she loves being  'Auntie Marge' to the babies.  

​

Yoyo lives with my mom nearby as one of her four  TTs.  We lost my dad in 2022, and my mom has since made the tough decision to be done raising pups and spend some time traveling. Yo was born in 2020. He is black and white and weighs about 27 lbs.  Yoyo is always up for an adventure, and he's never met a stranger.  He is a good time guy, and he loves his toys and his TT besties, Coco and Rena.  Yo sired a litter in 2022 with Coco and produced some beautiful babies.  Yoyo has a clear DNA panel, OFA Good hips, OFA normal patellas, OFA normal elbows, OFA clear eyes, and he's tested clear for NCL.

Both Marge  (AKC Kildare Large Marge) and Yoyo (AKC Kildare Gold Finger) come from a very long line of healthy show dogs, including many champions.  While their pedigrees are filled with generations of successful Kildare show dogs,  they personally prefer to flaunt their short hairdos and champion the cause for living the carefree life of a well-loved dog.
