DAY #56

Happy 8 weeks! We started with a -15° morning, and the gusting winds. It kind of hit the 8 week old mark perfectly – rock n’ roll! The puppies had their first Health Exam – My veterinarian came to my home for two hours, observed the puppies together with their group dynamics, and then examined…

DAY #55

A sick puppy. Around midnight I started to hear that universe ‘guack’ sound, no matter the mammal it is the same, right before vomit comes. Puppies that show any signs other than normal, need attention almost immediately as they go down hill super fast. I turned on the light to see #4 male, trying to…

DAY #54

Well you will see in the video, Mama Beetz has been teaching super good canine social skills to her pups. She is having to growl less over food items, and they are learning to respect each other with objects (puppy respect anyway), and to use their own little self control. Fish skins after breakfast are…

DAY 50 & 51

We have started the recall game. The most important thing you can ever do. To teach new puppies that coming to humans is the best thing ever – they can trust, feel safe, and be in an environment that is better than all of the other options. Kind and considerate hands and handling. More visitors…

DAY #46 & #47

So much new. While the baseline temperament of this litter has very little variance, so stable and balanced, the puppies individual little personalities are starting to shine. This is where it gets super awesome. Each one seeing the world through their own eyes now. They are all still same same, balanced, curious, playful, teething, affectionate,…

DAY #44 & #45

The older they get the more time I spend with everything, so some of the days will be combined. Man oh man – they were on a bender this morning. They woke up with a vengeance of some sort, and were just wild. Lashing out, gripping on to everything, not being kind to their mama,…

DAY #41

Well hellfire! These puppies are a day away from being 6 weeks old, and they all kicked it into gear today. They took down everything in their romper room, they were all over the yard this morning. And they were determined to take any person down that came into the romper room. in other words…

DAY #40

The puppies had their second field trip outside, and they had so much fun exploring and tasting snow, and running in and out of the entry way. The hot spot today was in between the flower pots. They developed a mean game of hide-and-seek. When they were ready for a nap they were ready for…

DAY #39

Mama Lessons. This is the developmental stage, 5-6 weeks of age, where a lot of breeders get ready to send puppies to their new homes. Some are weaned at this age, they are super active, they are eating a bunch, eliminating on their own, why not, adios! Well from now to just before nine weeks…

DAY #38

We had fish today. We had fresh raw liver today, just a little. We added bullysticks to the romper room today. AND and and we had our first field trip today, WOOP!
