It is time to finally introduce this little lady who came into our life a few weeks ago .
Cloudshine Little Bitty Panic , aka Bitty
Sire: C.I.B. A20 Ch Sup Ch Anvilhart Pray For The Wicked
Dam : Cloudshine Hapuna Matata.
Bitty is co owned with her breeder Sharni Sutton . Her mum is a daughter of Whadaboutme Masters Apprentice ( Noah) , so she has close ties to our past .
Little Bitty is an absolute delight in every way , the most easy going and loving little girl, she has us under her little paws already .
Yesterday , at 3 months and 3 weeks of age , she had her first big adventure when she bounced her way through her first dog show, which just happened to be one of the biggest held in SA annually . Unfortunately she was the only baby Stafford entered, however that did not lessen the experience for her one bit . All those dogs, people, smells , she had fun ! And she slept well last night too 😉
Many thanks to Carmen Milne for wrangling her in the ring !

Can’t share this often enough

I know I have shared this before but always good to reshare for friendly reminders

When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the sofa or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

(Not my post/images but very useful information and a great visual perspective!- Credit goes to the original poster).
