My swabs have all been sent off to Alpha Dog.
I literally can’t wait to have the results back!
Who else has done theirs?
I am thinking group zoom on the results in January 😊

Sal’s babies out this morning for socialising.
Putting in the hard yards is worth it’s weight in gold.
Life skills, experiences, learning how to cope with new and novel means your puppies get to have a broad and varied life, without limits.

This is what a well raised puppy looks like!
I am SO proud of Puds who is a Sally x Keale baby.
Here she is, being epic at a Wildlife Crime Conference with her new owners Louise & Kevin from Conservation K9 Consultancy
She is 9 weeks old. Yep. That’s right. 9 weeks old. Obviously it is a dog free/clean environment, no issues with vaccines, but as she is super cute she was allowed to join in!
Noises, textures, levels, scent, people, screens, new and novel… she smashed it.
The world is a big playground for Puds, because she is not scared of anything.
Pud’s world will be vast, with no limits, because we spent the time putting in the effort to ensure we raised the litter to be “world ready”.
As they say, quite literally in this case, the proof is in the Pudding! ❤️
Love love love this phase ❤️
Starting to wobble around, introductions to toys and food starts, general awareness and interactions are clearer and more visible.
Warms my heart ❤️
What is your favourite stage?
Happy Monday Guys!
Check out this little sweetie pie!
We are keeping her and she needs a name.... something unusual.... clever, country orientated....

It is the sound, the smell or both?

When one of your babies leaves for his new home in style.... 🥰
He travelled well, in fact he slept the whole way!

Microchipping time for our babies.
It is not my favourite part of preparing puppies for their new homes, but we have to do it!
I always transfer the details of the chip over to their new owners prior to the puppies leaving, making sure they are correctly registered before they leave.
Do you? and which chip companies do you use? Tell me the pro's and con's!
Fabulous weekend of puppy viewings last weekend and more planned for this weekend.
I love meeting the families planned for your puppies and seeing the joy when they meet their chosen puppy.
I always get asked if I find it difficult to let them and go, and I have to say, yes, I do, but when I know I have matched them correctly and taken the time to ensure the right puppy fits the right family, I know that they are going to have a successful and bright future ahead of them, so it makes it easier!
Last summer we homed some of our Labrador puppies to the Guide Dogs and I have been getting regular updates on their progress. All four of the first puppies that we sent to Puppy Walkers have successfully made it to the final stages of training and we are SO proud of the difference they will make to their handlers when they are allocated.
Here is a little clip of one of ours being awesome, I'd love to hear your puppy wins, let's share the love and fill the space with some stories of your dogs making a difference in their homes ⬇️
Can’t beat using rubbish for socialising!
Just like kids, they love the boxes and the bags!
These dudes have had a variety of textures and novel stimulus this week. Lino, concrete, carpet, grass and gravel. We change the pen daily, in terms of layout and items, so everyday with us is a school day.
While we are working with them, we watch them. How do they respond? Are they bold? Are they brave? It’s all critical information that we use to understand each puppy as an individual, so we can taylor what we do to suit them, but also use the information to help place them in the most suitable home.
