Check out Zepplin (Vondelrae Let’s Rock n Roll) who went to see Santa today. He thought it was far more comfortable to just lay all over his mum for the photo, than sit on Santa’s knee 😊
Thanks for the update Jasmine - Zepp’s such a clown 🤡

For those who think your dog should be friends with random dogs

Some dogs might not have the same level of sociability as others, and that's perfectly acceptable.

Each dog has a unique personality, and much like people, they have their own preferences for social interaction. It's important to recognise and respect these differences.

A dog who seems more reserved or less inclined to engage with strangers isn't necessarily unfriendly or ill-tempered; they may simply prefer a more solitary environment or choose to interact primarily with their familiar companions.

When you encounter a dog whose interest in socialising isn't immediately evident, it's courteous to give them space.

Forcing interaction can be overwhelming and uncomfortable for them. By respecting their preference to keep to themselves, you demonstrate understanding and kindness towards their individual temperament.

Recognising and honouring each dog's personality not only contributes to their sense of security but also fosters a more respectful and trusting relationship between humans and dogs.

Our babies are growing fast - and we have lovely dark long coat girls waiting for their own home.

Mum is Vondelrae ChaChaCha and Dad is the impressive import Lenin Vd Grafenburg.

Both parents have been hip and elbow xrayed suitable for breeding and Lenin has been breed surveyed.

Our babies will be vet health checked, vaccinated, wormed, microchipped and registered with Dogs SA. They’ll have their own diet sheet and 6 weeks free pet insurance.

If you think one of these puppies may suit you, feel free to PM us for more details😊

Our dogs love following the scooter and free galloping in our front paddock

ChaChaCha/Lenin puppies are growing like weeds!
We have 2 gorgeous long coat girls available. They’re only little Bubbas at the moment and will be ready for a family of their own around 13 November.
They will be wormed, microchipped, vaccinated, pedigree registered with Dogs SA, they’ll have their own diet/fact sheet, puppy pack and 6 weeks free pet insurance. They’re so damn cute!
If you think you’re suitable to join our Vondelrae family please DM for more details - we’ve no time for scammers/spammers so don’t bother

We love getting updates from our Vondelrae family and hearing what their mischief makers are up to
Vondelrae Carefree Delilah AKA Leela to her friends and her little brother Max. Best mates, with Max loving Leela so much and having big belly laughs and giggles when “playing” with her. Good character is really important in our dogs but we also applaud Max’s parents teaching little Max good manners when around Leela

Something to think about

This is a MUST READ for any breed you are thinking about purchasing. You buy the less expensive puppy you will pay more in the long run with vet visits because of potential serious health issues.

POTENTIAL OWNER: How much is the puppy?
BREEDER: $3,000+ dollars.
POTENTIAL OWNER: What?? It's way too expensive!!
BREEDER: What do you think would be a good price?
POTENTIAL OWNER: No more than $500. You breeders are so overpriced.
BREEDER: I am sorry you see it this way; why don't you try it yourself?
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I've never done it!
BREEDER: For FREE, I can teach you how to do it, and you will also have the knowledge of how to do it again.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Perfect, thank you!
BREEDER: To start, you will need a female(average cost $3500 and up)and a male(average cost $3500 and up) or semen (average $2000-$2500 and up). You will need to do & pass OFA Breed specific OFA health testing on them, which averages about $800+ per dog.
Let's not forget progesterone testings, inseminations, ultrasounds, x-rays, semen collections, semen analysis, potentially semen overnight shipping, and so on ($1500+).
Raise and provide daily care, feeding & grooming for two years. (minimal $250 per month) Oh, don’t forget monthly prevention, annual vet visits, and any other additional vet visits.
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have that much money...
BREEDER: For $1200, you can raise a litter and then keep one of the puppies. Obviously, you will pay the cost of whelping & care.
POTENTIAL OWNER: I can do that.
BREEDER: OK, so I have a female due to whelp in 2 weeks. You will need to be available 24/7 around the clock for at least 9-12 weeks to help with delivery and care. ( a million loads of laundry) Another 4-plus weeks to monitor mom and puppies.
POTENTIAL OWNER: twelve weeks?? It's way too much time for me! I have to work.
BREEDER: Plus, You will need to be available for puppy families to call you 24/7 with a worry or concern, no matter the age. You MUST also be ready to take back the puppy/dog at any age if the family has an unforeseen emergency.
BREEDER: You will also need the reproductive vet to do progesterone testing($110/ test ), X-ray to get headcount ($100) & C-section($1000-$5000 if needed), and initial vet care on pups until old enough to be placed ($800+).
Have on hand a scale, thermometer, latex gloves, puppy pads, incubator, oxygen concentrator, nebulizer, heating lamp, whelping box, puppy pen, blankets, toys, bowls, cleaning supplies, appropriate food with supplements for mothers, formula, medications & hand feeding supplies in case of emergency...
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have all these things!
BREEDER: For $5000+, you can buy them.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Ummm .... You know, I think it might be better if I just buy a puppy.
BREEDER: Wise decision.
For us, there are no vacations or holidays; while you go to visit with family & friends, we are home at our dogs' side caring for them. It is a no-break commitment.
THIS IS THE REALITY
When you choose a reputable person, you aren’t only purchasing the puppy but also knowledge, support, experience, love, time, sacrifices, etc...
**Plus the cost of lifetime support to the puppy owners…
These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg, (best-case scenario!!!) As a reputable breeder who takes on this journey full-time!
Very well said…
