       Our newest litter of pups out of Diesel & Piper arrived August 21, 2010. Diesel is our fun-loving, thick built stud dog from Royalair Shepherds in Iowa. He's got a very loving temperament, but he's also a good watchdog. Piper carries our original bloodlines. She is 7 generations down from our massive girl Irish, our 136 lb foundation girl. She is a wonderful watchdog, but is trustworthy & very maternal with pups as well as people! We will get wonderful size & temperaments from the pups out of these two. Both have fantastic personalities & are oversized with straight-backed builds. We know that the resulting pups will be everything Salhaus pups are expected to be. Diesel has produced numerous pups for us in the past with both Pony & with our other girls. They are all fantastic, oversized family companions & protectors. They are always gorgeous & oversized with incredible, well-rounded personalities. Although this will be a first time litter for Piper, we expect the same looks, temperament & health from her as from our other girls since my girls are all cousins & related to each other. We have had generation after generation of wonderful pups produced by Salhaus females. We expect no less from Piper crossed to Diesel. Look for Shelby, Bolt, & Bogart, Bella, Thunder, Sitka, Tanner, Risty, Axel, etc as examples of past Diesel pups on our photo gallery pages. In this litter, we have standard black/tan pups, possibly blk/silver. We may also have some plush/full coated pups as well. We'll be able to tell the difference in color of our blk/tans & blk/silvers as the pups grow, as well as whether they will be short or full coated. Generally by the time our pups are ready for new homes, they are all spoken for, so please don't hesitate to contact me to get put on our waiting list.

  Pregnant Piper Pictures
Now with just a few days to go, you
can really see her swollen belly &
full milk sacks! She's got babies!
Piper at a trot. Nothing is "full speed" anymore, not with a belly full of babies! She's due in just about another week!
In this picture, she had 3 more weeks to go. Even then she already had that classic pregnant "side lean" sit pose going on! LOL!
  Newborn Photos
Labor day! Lots of panting & getting up & down. Restless!
Just hours before the pups arrived!
To show you Piper's temperament. . . she allowed our 2 flat faced kitties to wait with her while in labor. She's such a good girl!
And the babies are here!
A much more trim Piper! LOL!

Close up of the cradled pup. He is not a solid black, but will have markings like his mama as an adult.

See this pup's tan chest & legs!
That tan will continue to spread.
Sweet
newborn
face!
See his
tan
legs! More
tan to come!
  Piper gave us 8 healthy pups on the 21st! We have 4 males & 4 females. All are black/tans even though they look solid black right now. Shepherd pups are born dark, with their tan color coming in as they grow. You'll see their tan spread as the weeks progress. Piper had lots of company on her "labor day." Our 2 Exotic short haired cats HAD to see what was going on. Piper was curious about them & seemed to enjoy all the company. It was almost calming for all of us (me & the cats) to be in there for her. She seemed to be saying, "the more, the merrier!" LOL! This just goes to show you how easy going our dogs are, to allow cats in the birthing room with them. Piper is a great first time mom, so attentive & gentle! We will update the website each week with new pictures of the litter. Pick your favorite pup & watch them grow & change!

  Piper gave us 8 healthy pups on the 21st! We have 4 males & 4 females. All are black/tans even though they look solid black right now. Shepherd pups are born dark, with their tan color coming in as they grow. You'll see their tan spread as the weeks progress. Piper is doing great as a first time mom! She's so gentle & attentive to the pups' needs. This litter is extremely quiet which indicates that they have full tummies & are content almost 100% of the time! Good girl Piper! Also, we've already started introducing the pups to our cats. You'll see Chewie, our orange & white Exotic Shorthair intermingled with them as the weeks pass. Also, they get lots of handling. Whenever my daughter pops by she can't stay away from the pups! You'll see her too in the pictures! We try to give your future pup the best possible start in life as far as love, socializing, nutrition & care to insure a healthy, mentally & physically well balanced & stable dog. And it starts from the day they're born here at Salhaus!

Mom taking a reprieve. All 8 lined up! So healthy & fat!
One of the pups meeting our cat, the ever patient Chewie! It's NEVER too early to introduce these magnificent dogs to the scent of a cat! Some of our pups go to families where there is al-ready an establish cat. Our early efforts make the introduction of the pup to the new family cat much less traumatic.

So sweet!
Piper in the mix, making sure the pups are ok! :-)
A handful of LOVE! Look at all the tan! These pups will be marked like their mom!
Classic black & tan saddle-backs!
Lots of  kisses &   handling for these babies! From our loving home to yours!
Home-raised with tenderness & love right from the start! Nothing but the best!
