Listen to those newborn puppy squeaks! They're happy and vocal feeders! Mum and Pups are doing well! Mum is sound asleep! She's earned it! 6 girls and 2 boys! I'm in love! 🥰
Lexie is home from spending a week with Cheeko. The puppies should arrive by no later than 29 October probably sooner! Expect puppies ready for Christmas! Great timing! The colouring of the puppies will be black and tan and there may even be a ruby. Some puppies will carry the rare chocolate gene if you're a breeder interested in breeding chocolate cavaliers too. Watch this space for the pregnancy announcement in early October! 😊
3 weeks old and eating big girl food!
Aww! 3 weeks old and full of life! The puppies are starting to eat puppy food now. They are being given Royal Canin Mother and Baby Dog Starter Food. They get it all over themselves and then lick it off each other. They're absolutely adorable! 😍
Lexie Gave Birth To 7 Cavoodle Puppies!
Update! Lexie had a surprise daughter 11hrs after her 7th. She was weak but is now doing well with bottle feeding. 😀
Well done Lexie! Lexie gave birth to 5 ruby boys, 1 ruby girl, and 1 black girl! All are full term, healthy, and very good feeders! 😀😀😀
Lexie Is Nesting!
I'm getting Lexie's whelping station ready today as she's due on Wednesday but she may not make it to Wednesday judging by her behaviour. I hope she can hold on another couple of days! She's nesting and has gone off her food. She's very restless and panting a lot and she's very clingy and whining a lot. I do believe that she will have puppies on Tuesday when I'm supposed to be driving my mother to the Sunshine Coast. I shall have to come up with a new plan. Typical Lexie. Exactly 12 months ago today, she had her puppies unexpectedly early while we were at Juliette's wedding. Happy Anniversary Juliette and Will! Perhaps if I stay home on Tuesday Lexie will wait until Wednesday to give birth. But if I go away for the day, she's definitely going to have her puppies. LOL. 🤣
Lexie's Ready To Burst!
Mountain Heights Cavaliers News Update!
It's that time again! Puppy season is upon us! 1 litter is 8 weeks old, 2 litters are due this week and another in 7 weeks!
Lexie is having a litter of Cavoodles this time. Bella is having a litter of Beaglires and both girls are due this week. Lexie is due Wednesday/Thursday and Bella is due Thursday/Friday.
Sarah is also in pup (we hope) with her first litter. They're a pure bred Cavalier King Charles Puppies, due 30th May. These puppies will be carriers of the chocolate gene and I'll be keeping a girl as will Kirsty. So next year, we'll be breeding chocolate Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies. They're very rare and you may not have ever seen one! I met one last Sunday. Milo is a beautiful chocolate Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the father of Sarah's upcoming litter. I plan to call their puppy that I'm keeping, Cassie.
In other news Mystii and Jonah now have a litter of puppies ready to go. 3 boys! Their sister Maple is being kept by Kirsty. They're almost 9 weeks old. Mountain Heights Cavaliers is in full swing!
This is the first time I'll be delivering puppies without Kirsty there to help me as I've now moved into my newly built home and even though Kirsty is only 10 minutes away, she will have her hands full delivering Bella's puppies potentially on the same day! But I'm confident in my ability to do it by myself after 3 years of doing it alongside my wonderful mother in law under her mentorship. It'll be a busy time! I'm looking forward to it! Sarah's puppies will arrive when Lexie's puppies are only 7 weeks old. So there will be lots of mouths to feed, puppies to bath and toilet train, lots of cuddles and lots of late nights and early starts. But it's the best job in the world, being a puppy-mummy! So watch this space if you're interested in following our journey and I will link the Gumtree advertisements on this page once puppies are ready for sale in early June. 😀
It's hard to say goodbye!
Rose, our little red Cavoodle is heading to her forever home tonight. We're sad to say goodbye. As you can see, she's such a delight! 😍 #puppylove #puppy #puppylife #cavoodlesofaustralia #cavoodles #cavalier #poodle #mountainheightscavaliers

Marty McFly and Sister Sarah Connor in their new crate from Pet Gear
Tucking in the puppies for bed time. Marty McFly is sleeping the night in our new dog crate with his sister Sarah Connor. Marty is going to be a big brave boy tomorrow. He's having surgery to remove the extra tufts of hair on his eyes tomorrow. The hair irritates his eyes so we thought he'd be more comfortable with it removed. I'm loving our new puppy crates. The brand is Pet Gear and we bought it from Pet Stock. They're pricy but sturdy and stack well. They also collapse flat and have a handle and wheels and a travel bag. It has access from the top, side, and ends. I highly recommend them. My mother has been using hers for 3 months and loved it so much that I decided to buy one for my dogs. 😀🐾🐕

Look who got a new bed today!

Christening the Puppy Pen!
The reality of raising puppies = poop! 💩🐾🐕🤣 But the cuteness is worth every bag filled with dirty gloves, and waste. We switched to cloth puppy pads. It's better for the environment, the puppies don't tear them to shreds, and they're 10 times a more absorbent. They're also fantastic for labouring mother dogs! It does mean huge amounts of laundry each day, large water bills (we're on a combination of tank and town water and have a sceptic system), and we spend about $100/shop on laundry sanitisers usually pine o'cleen or detol to prevent cross contamination. Then we mop with F10 veterinary disinfect. But it's all worth it for healthy puppies and sanitary conditions! Then the reality sets in. Less than a minute back in their pen and the puppies have to christen it and then roll in it! Baths tomorrow! 🤣🛁🧼🧽
Feeding Time! 😀
Early morning feeds on a rainy Easter morning! 😍
Lexie you melt my heart! #butterwouldntmelt #puppylove #immelting #sweetheart #puppies #imnotuptomischief
