Merry Christmas from Shakespeare’s Legacy Labradors! 🎄The puppies are now settled in with their forever families and we are so excited for the adventure, love and cuddles they will bring to each others lives. Thank you all for the likes, loves, comments and shares over the past couple months. We appreciate each and every one. We are excited for what’s to come in 2025, including a few more litters of these amazing, empowered puppies. From our home to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We continue with noise and novelty items with the puppies. They’ve heard the vacuum before, but today they got to see it in action. This was of course after the little turkeys flipped their potty box cover off and made a huge mess. When I walked into the room all 4 had their heads above the sidewall seemingly so proud of their work. 🤭💛💜💚🧡 It’s a good thing they are so cute and I love them so much!

The final exposure for all 7 of the puppies was our back yard. We had hoped to get them out earlier but the weather has either been too wet or too cold. As you can see they love the freedom to romp and run. We use the cue “puppy, puppy” to get all of their attention at once. I think it’s safe to say they really enjoyed this exposure.

Lillian agrees that Archer is the most lovable little guy and needs a good home. She would have kept him if she could. Thank you for loving this little one as much as we do, Lillian! Happy to say we did exactly as she asked and we found him an amazing home!

Today’s novelty items were another basic items found in homes everywhere, a can of food. These cans contain wet dog food for the big dogs so I wanted to see if there was any interest. Dogs’ sense of smell is incredible. They actually see the world more through their nose than their eyes. They loved this simple cans and played with them for a long time, tore the labels and rolled them around. I so enjoy watching them interact with each item, some more exhuberantly than others, but still exploring each one just the same.
Just because evaluations are complete doesn’t mean we stop introducing new sights, sounds and novelty items. Some of the puppies were intrigued by the hairdryer and some not so much. In the end everyone approached the hairdryer, while it was running. When introducing a new object or sound to a puppy, let them go at their pace so no negative feelings are created.
The puppies were so excited to spend some time with the staff and families of rehab1performancenb Riverview and Moncton clinics. The puppies got to explore the gym and some of the equipment, causing lots of laughter and photo taking. They also got many cuddles and even fell asleep in the arms of the staff. Thanks for having us visit! We will definitely be back with future litters.

Autumn decided she didn’t want to play with her siblings this morning so she did some closed door crate training instead. She watched me clean the potty box for a few minutes then took a nap.
