Puppies meet Tila the chihuahua
Our puppies are socialized with dogs of all sizes. Here they are meeting Tila the chihuahua for the first time 🥰
2 weeks old
The puppies are now 2 weeks old which is an interesting age! They are able to walk (though not very gracefully haha) and they are beginning to interact with their environment. They have started to recognize and play with their siblings and humans, they like to nibble on fingers although they have no teeth yet.
Their ENS and ESI are nearly complete with 2 days to go.
They have had their nails trimmed and received their first dewormer.
Our job now is to expose them to a new object and/or experience each day. During these early days we start with human baby toys and large, soft puppy toys to introduce different textures and sounds.
3 days old
Babies are 3 days old! They are doing amazing, gaining weight daily.
Today we started their ENS and ESI. They are handled and loved daily (and get lots of kisses 😉). They are just perfect, I love them so much 😍.
Iska with her newborn babies
We have 3 beautiful babies so far 🥰. 2 girls and 1 boy. Iska is being a fantastic mom. We have 1 more puppy to go. Iska is taking a bit of a break so it’s going to be a long night!
Morning shenanigans
Typical morning shenanigans 🤣
(don’t mind the mess, moving in has been a long process lol)
Iska movement
Iska is such a beautiful mover 😍.
The German Shepherd Dog is a herding breed. Their style of herding is called “tending”.
They were bred to essentially be a living fence to contain their flock of sheep.
The behaviour you see Iska displaying in this video is typical of a German Shepherd tending their sheep. A well bred GSD can gait like this for hours. In this video Iska has already been doing this for 2 hours with no sign of slowing down. Genetics are amazing!
Arya and Blaze
Arya, our last remaining puppy, having some fun in the sun with Blaze. Such a beautiful day today!
Evening play time
Tonight’s shenanigans!
Last night with 3 of these babies 🥺.
2 are staying an extra couple weeks, 1 is pending genetic testing, and 1 is still 👀.
