Puppies 5 Weeks

This week went by quickly as the rest of the final weeks will. The puppies are developing their personalities and getting ready to leave the nest. They are eating their food-and Daphne stops in to check them out but I separate her more and more. On Saturday we met many of the families that will be taking the puppies home for PUPPY DAY. I am grateful that each and everyone of the puppies will be spoiled and well taken care of in their new home. They all got baths before the visit and little haircuts. They are all big puppies now. I am really enjoying watching them have fun- although now they make BIG BIG puppy messes. LOL
Some nice pictures from the week:

Happy Birthday Delilah


I wanted to take this time to wish my girl Delilah a very happy birthday. She turned 2 on the 2nd and has blossomed into a very pretty girl. She went for her OFA testing and my vet said everything looked good. We look forward to breeding her this year and are very confident her puppies will be so cute and cuddly.

Puppies 1 Month Old


their first feast! They all love their new food.

Rose giving some puppy lovin'!

Puppies, Puppies, Puppies! they are getting so big and beautiful. They are now eating their big puppy food just watered down a little bit. They all love it and their little bodies have transitioned very well. We are feeding them Holistic Select Puppy which the main protein is Anchovies, Sardines and Chicken. First I was not really into the anchovies part- but I thought I would try it because I have been feeding Holistic Select to my cats always and they love it and thrive on it and the past few times feeding Canidae to the puppies I had to really crush it down because the kibbles are so big- so I decided to change and try it out- so far I am impressed. Sometimes it takes them a little while to transition- but everyone seems to be doing well. They play and bark and make a BIG mess now that they eat their food. They step in their bowl and jump on each other- I am happy Daphne is such a good mom- she always cleans them up so well...This week I was pressed for some time- so I took some nice candids- that are easier to take now that they do not want to stand still... Next week I will try to give their haircuts. They are very fluffy now and I can just hear my handler Kathy saying "when she gonna cut their hair??"LOL!

Enjoy!!!
I would also like to note that we added a new page to the website for some staple items you might need with your new puppy. I do not stock these items but can order them for you before you pick up your puppy. Please let me know and if you have questions- call me!

Puppies 3 Weeks old

Well the puppies are 3 weeks old and acting more an more just like little dogs. Playing and barking, whining and biting toys. They still rely on mom for love and food of course- and get very excited when she takes a break away from them. They are really starting to develop some personality in in the next few days we will venture to the unknown (upstairs to the house) where peace and quite will be no more and they can familiarize themselves with household noise and activity. Here are some updated pictures: Its still hard to get a good picture of the red coming in on the Red and white parti girls- I have to see about different lighting- but for now....
PS- all puppies noses will be all black- some take longer for pigment to come in.

Snowdrop's left ear is red and right ear is white...and she has patches of red on both eyes.



both Valerian's ears are white and she has patches of red on both eyes..


both Xanthium's ears are red and she has a patch only on her left eye



Here is the video from this week. They just woke up from a nap- so they were slow to start their antics-- but do so well by just being CUTE!!!! Watch it here:
