Your dog is probably fat because you’re feeding it too much
Miss Lilac at 8 weeks is out with her Dad learning the ropes.
The babies have done their foundations of leash walking in the yard and then the driveway. Dad gives them confidence in the big new world.
YES! We take out babies out in the world from 8 weeks! Risk vs Reward and not taking them to dumb places like dog parks.
The babies are wearing custom biothane collars from Wildhunde
Chilling out
The babies are 7 weeks old on Sunday! How did that happen?! Meet Mr Teal, he’s a dude.

What's on their heads? This is paper tape that supports their ears to stand erect whilst they're going through their rapid growth phase where ears can do all kinds of weird things. The tape sticks to itself vs skin, under the paper tape is a soft tape, taping is not painful - the ears have not been cropped.
Recycling is the cheapest of toys

Ears are NOT cropped, they are simply taped to support their position during rapid growth, this is done with paper tape.
Temperament matters 🥰
Belmont is the dad of our current litter and as you can see he’s lovely with his babies.
He’s being introduced to more than 1 puppy at a time, 2 is a nice number to control and keep an eye on especially when one’s pen*s has been mistaken for a boobie today.
Our rules for puppy interactions is keep arousal on the lower side and my preference is for the adult to lay down.
Bones and puppies
People often ask what age they can start their puppies on bones…our puppies are 4.5 weeks old, some breeders start them earlier.
Once they have their teeth and they are digesting solids well, bones are just part of the process of consuming a species appropriate diet.
Safe consumption of bones comes with a little education and common sense ie don’t give small bones to greedy dogs who can swallow them - go big
💖 Our Xolo babies are 4 weeks old, adorable, yes?
Scentwork is a pretty cool sport, it can take dogs like Ginger who are genetically weak in nerve and help bolster their confidence and elevate their levels of optimism.
Ginger was a dog that when she couldn't find the scent she would just give up or even start to shut down, she's now coming at it with a lot of enthusiasm and is able to work longer.
It's absolutely a sport I recommend for all dogs but it really can be life-changing for dogs with anxiety and similar challenges.
In this video, you see Ginger searching for the odour of Birch.

Have you seen Antinol new easy squeeze caps?
𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘀𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀?
The new caps are perfect for dogs and cats who find and refuse the hard caps in their meals. The new soft caps are so much easier to get open and I don’t have to worry about cutting my fingers off with the scissors 😂🤪

I’m in my “fall” era
So, there we are on our walk in the bush and he comes across a huge pile of soil with blood and bone in it…he goes to roll in it and I yell UH AH at him which causes him to lose his mind and go into a massive zoomie up a hill….im at the bottom of the hill and he realises at the last moment that he’s built up too much speed to utalise his breaks 🤪
My Apple Watch says “it looks like you’ve taken a hard fall” ….yes, yes I did 😂
I’m fine 🤪
