These days the puppies are visiting new places and starting basic puppy training. Sometimes we bring just one or two, sometimes we bring all.
Like this trip to the fields and the beach! It was great to see all puppies exploring and being excited about a new environment (this one with lots of game smells!). Especially interesting is the way the puppies explore "spaniel-like" in zigzags around our feet. Always close!
We also took the chance to train a bit of recall which progressing very nicely! Enya and Freya being the superstars at recall this day 👏👏💪
If you are interested in a loving and fun Field Spaniel, we are looking for families for two of our females. Check out www.kennel-falstria.dk for more info!

Ginnie is studying the ducks at the local pond 🦆🦆
Its been raining cats and dogs for weeks now in Denmark, but today finally the grass was dry and the sun was out so we invited the puppies outside to the garden for the first time.
All of the puppies thought it was amazing and bravely went forth to explore their new world! We are used to there being clear differences in who is more brave and who is more cautious, but in this case the whole litter was very evenly curious. No one thought the new big outdoors was scary - which we are very happy about!
Today we upgraded the swing to an even bigger one!!
We like to give the puppies a lot of different things to interact with and play with during these early weeks. What becomes normal now (like stuff moving under my feet) will last a lifetime!
At this ages its all about introducing different things, sounds, materials etc that they can use their senses to explore. We evwn introduce them to the other dogs in the house and let them have positive interactions.
Later, when they are older, the focus changes to new environments and introducing them gently to a variaty of situations (people, animals, smells, noises etc) outside of the home.
People sometimes get disappointed when we deliver the puppies and they don't even know how to sit when asked. Well, anyone can train a dog to sit. Why should I as a breeder prioritise my time teacjing the dog stuff you can easily teach it yourself? Instead, I should focus on building the dogs perception of normal life to be so wide and varied that the transition to the new home will go as smooth as possible. Because THAT you cannot teach after the delivery.
Just some small thoughts 😊
It is decided!
The puppies are now registered and have gotten their official names. But can you guess the theme for this litter? 😁
