Below are pictures of our puppies from a young age and additional pictures as they have grown. Some have pictures sent from their families when they are full grown. This is so you can have a good idea of what your puppy may look like as they grow.

'Peyton Fiona'

Fiona at five months of age

Fiona - now renamed to Peyton Fiona, was the One And Only puppy born to Bella and Apollo. Fiona was named after 'Fiona' in the show 'Burn Notice.' She is a beautiful woman with manners and class, but she is TOUGH and doesn't take 'nothing from nobody.'

She was born on July 6th and was a little spitfire. At a young age she was running around like she owned the place! She is the smallest puppy ever to come from Kichman Family Kennels but you'd never know it as she runs with the big dogs.

'Oshie'

Cameron - now renamed to Oshie (after a famous hockey player I believe is what his new mommy and daddy told me). He was one of four puppies (Annikki, Stirling, Sierra, and Cameron).

Oshie now lives a lush lifestyle and is worshiped by his new human family members. He loves people and is very social. Growing up we called him 'the chunk' or 'the fluffy one' as he has more hair and was very fluffy compared to his siblings. Oshie has grown into a handsome little man and it's great to hear from his family so often!

'Stirling Rex'

Stirling at 10 weeks old, getting ready to go to his new home.

Stirling - now renamed to Stirling Rex and Rex for short, was one of four puppies (Annikki, Stirling, Sierra, and Cameron. Stirling now lives in a life of luxury as the one and only pet in a house in the midwest area. He loves to roll in the grass, play with sticks and random run. Stirling is a male and was a spitting image of his father, Apollo.

The picture to the immediate left was the night before Stirling left for his new home. Freshly bathed, he posed for me with the patented, cute, head turns and strutted around in his new clothing.

The bottom left picture was Stirling when he was a bit younger at 8 weeks of age with a little bit of coloring around his eyes in light tan. As he got older this color faded a bit more to all white.

'Juliet'

Born and raised at the cabin on the lake with Kichman Family Kennels, Juliet now lives in Iowa. She spends her days taking her humans for walks, playing with the two VERY LARGE Labrador dogs and riding in her special doggie back pack while on the back of a Harley Davidson. She loves to stick her two paws on the shoulder of her daddy and let her ears flap in the wind! What a great companion!

'Cosette'

Cosette is one of the smallest puppies that we've ever had. She was named after the Broadway Play. She responds when you sing the opera song to her better than she does to the command 'come.' She lives with a dear friend of mine here in Springfield and is quite spoiled.

This is Cosette as a four week old puppy and as a full grown adult. She is a whopping four pounds full grown which is smaller than most of our full grown pure bred Maltese puppies. Breed standard is four to seven pounds for Maltese.

'Sadie'

This TINY little girl is a darker tan color with a white stripe down the middle of her head. She seems to take after her father, Gizmo, very much! She is laid-back and relaxed, never whining or crying. She is smart and attentive.

Like her father, she is already posing for me with the camera, tilting her head and wagging her teeny little tail! At her first vet visit, Sadie got a clean bill of health. She has received her first set of puppy shots, has no worms, joints, eyes, ears and heart are all healthy. Sadie was 1.5 pounds at 8 weeks!

Sadie has gone to live with her new family in State College, PA! She is the smallest dog we have ever had and was a joy to have. I am sure she will bring much love to her new family! Thank you Reid Family for sending a picture (below) of Sadie at 5 months old and 2.8 pounds!

'Guster'

This is one of only two male puppies in this litter and he has a beautiful chocolate brown coat with white socks and a white belly. He has a black nose and pink toes. He has taken after both his mother and father (Lilijana is pure black and Apollo is pure white). This puppy is calm and loving and is about 7 weeks old in these pictures.

A BIG thank you to Guster's new mommy for the bottom right picture of Guster at about 5 months old and 5 pounds.

'Maddy'

This female puppy has a beautiful pure black coat with a white strip under her chin, down her throat and her two back paws have white 'socks'. She has a black nose and pink toes. She takes after her mother (Lilijana is pure black). She is quiet and well mannered. This puppy is healthy and is getting nicknamed 'Houdini" Take a guess as to why! She lets herself in and out of the puppy area as she pleases and none of the other pups have figured out how!

A GREAT BIG thanks to Maddy's new mommy for letting me 'petsit' dear Maddy for the day and we had a photoshoot! Bottom left: Here is Maddy at about 5 pounds at 5 months of age. DOLL!
