Happy belated birthday to this lunatic and her siblings! Can't believe they are all 1 already! Here's to many more years of craziness with them!
Zip and Phoenix wrestling under the watchful eye of big brother Bravo! Phoenix is going to stay with Bravo and Aunty Spook for a week or two so I can focus on Zip and my toddler who broke his leg over the weekend! Jiggy has found a home and heads off later this week too!
Yeah I did take 3 puppies to Bunnings! Many treats were had and they all handled so well!! Someone please give Jiggy a home as socialisation for 3 pups is super exhausting!!! 🤣🤣
Edit - pups are all sold
Jigsaw (affectionately being called Jiggy for now) wants a home! He's 9 weeks old today and the coolest, most confident and social pup you could wish for! He's started crate training, toilet training, is chipped, vaccinated, wormed, registered with dogsQld. We're doing all the same socialisation outings with him as the 2 other pups who are staying so he doesn't miss out and to be honest he's done better than both of them on nearly every experience. This was today's trip to the park! Moving things, noisy cars, people, weird things, loud bangs, you name it and he takes it in his stride!
He's pretty high drive both food and prey driven so needs a home who can provide outlets and mental stimulation and teach him to be calm in the right settings. He's make an unreal obedience dog or agility or really any sport! He's been vet checked and checked by our physio and he's sound and healthy!
We're down to 3 pups here! We've got our girl who still isn't named (currently Zip is the top of our list), Phoenix (formerly Flash) who's staying with us until December when he will go to live in Singapore with his owner and Mr Jigsaw who is still searching for a home.
We're getting the pups out almost daily for exposure and socialisation sessions, crate training is going well, solo time and toilet training is also going well. We're also working on appropriate prey drive outlets and once the pups get the hang of the 'yes' marker we'll begin adding in a bit of impulse control to teach them how to control that drive until given permission to chase!
This is Jigsaw's session from today.
Jigsaw is still looking for his forever home. He's a confident, high drive puppy who would excel in any sporting home. He's very pack driven, has excellent prey and food drive, is structurally sound and very confident as you can see in this video (sound on!). He may be ok in a pet home but it will need to be an active and experienced home who can provide mental stimulation and good outlets for his drives - He's not going to be happy with a 30 minute walk daily and some fetch! This dog needs a job!
If you think you are a good home for him drop us a pm and tell us about your home, lifestyle and why you think he'd fit into your home!
Meeting new ppl and new dogs at Young Diggers
Meeting Hank at Young Diggers this morning
For those wondering what our girl is like.... this is her in a nutshell (well fire pit?) God help us!
Today we ventured out to the local shops to explore the carpark and escalators. We took each pup up solo and they were all so brave! They all took food and were happy to take cuddles and coped well with the stress of getting onto and off the escalators. Most got to meet a person or two and they all heard trolleys, cars, saw automatic doors and heard a lot of noise. It's totally normal for them to be a little unsure on the escalators and we're really happy with how they handled the excursion.
This was Stripe's go!
