Today’s Puppy Cam Spam…

Some changes to the whelping box as the pups have hit 2 weeks old and it’s time to introduce puppy p*e pads. Pups were a little uncertain as it feels different to what they are used to, but they’ll get the hang of it quickly.
Meanwhile, Gypsy decided she’s ‘sitting’ for this feed 🤣

Mama Gypsy gives the pups a good night once over. Sleep well babies!

Some were clearly quite bored with the whole ‘taking pictures’ thing… 🥱

Their little eyes are just starting to open up… 13 days old ❤️

Puppy Cam Spam!

Our puppies are weighed every day and we follow ENS and ESI every day too. This way, we can track their growth and see how each responds to certain scents and specific handling all designed to help produce stable and confident dogs. By introducing small amounts of stress we can help build resilient dogs ❤️
All the pups have almost doubled their birth weights already and we are only at Day 5! Little porkers 🐷

The highly anticipated litter has arrived!

Introducing Lovedale Gypsy and Belloui Hemsworth divine litter…
3 boys and 3 girls. All those who guessed 6 puppies from the X-ray have better eyes than the vets! We loved having an extra surprise.

To pay homage to their guardian owners, Richard and Sharilyn Mercer, we have named them all after ‘golfing’ terms ⛳️
Richard is the golfing pro at The Vintage.

Gypsy is enjoying her last moments of peace and quiet before the pitter patter of puppies arrive very soon.

So how many do we think?

19/10/2024

Lovedale Gypsy is nearing the end of her pregnancy - about a week or so to go! X-rays will be done on Monday so place your bets on how many you think she might have.

She is still very active, eating and playing well so this pregnancy hasn't slowed her down too much yet. She is fabulously healthy and happy, we can't wait to see her babies!

How many do you think are there?

We have puppies on their way!

Lovedale Gypsy and Belloui Hemsworth have had a sneaky honeymoon about a month ago and towards the end of October we will hear the sweet sounds of puppies! Puppies will be ready to go just before Christmas.

We are anticipating colours of creams and caramels with loose fleece coats. They will be medium in size and have gorgeous temperaments.

At this stage, the Waitlist is closed unless she surprises us with a bigger than expected litter.

We are super excited for Gypsy’s first litter 🥰

Lovedale Labradoodle Sammy, initial training with us at Kaysadale Farm and continuing his education to pass our certification with Lauren Hoyle. Watch Better Homes and Gardens tonight to see his story and the impact he is making at school! ❤️❤️❤️

Another great success story with our beautiful Lovedale Sophie successfully passing our Kaysadale Farm Therapy Dog Certification with flying colours. Sophie has been in training from 8 weeks of age having been on our Puppy Development Program and then on a schedule of lessons until passing all criteria. Well done to Emma, Sophie and the school for the dedication and hard work and we just love seeing the continual difference these days are making to the entire school community! Massive congratulations and we’re so proud 🥹 ❤️🐾

My travels took me to Port Macquarie yesterday to reassess Lovedale Madge for her Kaysadale Farm Therapy/Support Dog recertification. I will be honest in saying I had a few tears listening to the difference she has made and for privacy reasons we can’t post it all here. I asked Kylie, owner, handler and school psychologist, to tell me what is the difference that she’s making in the school community and this was her reply
“Madge has been doing valuable work with all students at the College. In particular she has been working with one of our students all year in preparation for her exam. Working with Madge has helped develop confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging in our community. The amount of love Madge gives out is returned tenfold. She is our favourite staff member and we can’t imagine life without her in our community.” Melts our hearts ♥️ so many of our Lovedale pups are going on to become school therapy/support dogs and therapy dogs for families and workplaces. So proud of you all 🥹🐾♥️

We’ve known Liz and her family for over nine years and they’ve always recommended our breeding, boarding and training and have so many friends who have our dogs. Having recently lost one of their own gorgeous pooches, it was time for another. Lovedale Jo Jo with the Bow Bow was meant to be! She’s going to bring them so much joy and we are over the moon that they are her family ❤️❤️❤️
