4-5 months

What a beautiful face
Honey likes to cuddle with the other dogs to sleep. Pagan is contemplating whether the extra warmth is worth the extra weight!
Honey and her uncle Kaltag. Katag's dad ( Lighthouse Dakota) is the brother of Honey's grandpa (Lighthouse Booker). Not closely related but they sure are looking similar! Those Lighthouse boys sure make a stamp on their descendants. Honey and Pagan are looking more and more like littermates every day
Honey and a younger Kaltag. She loves being an auntie and the two are becoming pretty inseparable
Honey still loves the sticks
Honey is losing some of her puppy fat and looking a little more ladylike. She is quite mature for 5 months. She is one of the easier puppies I have had to raise
She is also 'getting her leg on' and is growing upwards
I like the wrinkles on her forehead

New addition


2 years ago, Debbie Premus of Boreayl Chinooks and I agreed to do a puppy swap in order to diversify the breeding pool of Chinooks in our area. I sent her Moonsong Lyra of Boreayl and I waited for the right puppy to bring out west to complete our 'swap'. When I heard Quest was bred to Katie, I knew this would be a great pup for my breeding program. When I saw the pups, I was impressed by their bone and substance. It was Miss White's head that sealed the deal for me though. She has the sweetest expression. That is also how I came up with her name- Boreayl's the Bee's Knees of Moonsong - call name Honey. I was so happy with the swap that we did it again! I sent Moonsong Seonee of Boreayl to Debbie and will take a puppy from one of her future litters. I have done a puppy swap with a few other breeders and have found this a great way to spread genes around the country.

Quest is a handsome male with great conformation, coat, and color

Katie is a pretty girl with a great front and nice topline

Honey has a lot of bone and substance, especially for a puppy female! Honey is a natural retriever and also loves toy parade. She always has something in her mouth Honey has a nice forechest...and big ears
Honey fit right in with the rest of the pack. She is very laid back most of the time, though I do need to stop her form hanging off the Water spaniel's ear and the Saluki's tail At 3 months she has grown quite a bitHoney is always after food. Here she is in the food bin when I went out to get dog bowls for dinner. Obviously she inherited this trait.... ...here is her mom Kati doing the same thing at Honey's age:-) Honey takes a nap with me
