Puppies are seven weeks, nothing bothers them. I drove them for two hours to meet my friends who helped me choose my keepers and after lunch and a playtime I drove them home. Not a whimper, nobody sick and no mess in the crate.

The puppies are just over six weeks old now. Their bedding has been moved into a crate as an introduction to crate training. It’s smaller than their box, hopefully they will sleep there and come out to toilet. They’ve got some hanging toys now, just a plastic water bottle and some odd socks with a squeaky toy.
Yesterday they had fireworks and rainforest noises playing next to them, after stopping and looking they just carried on playing

Puppies are just over four weeks old and now in their crate so that they can come out and explore. They’ve got shredded teabag paper with puppy pads underneath and foam pads underneath that for insulation.
They’re eating Arden Grange weaning kibble soaked in goats milk with a bit of tinned Butchers puppy food mixed in. Pagan is still going in to feed them several times a day and she stays in at night but had a raised bed to escape them if she wants to. By next week they should be fully weaned.
Pagan has been a fabulous Mummy, I’m so proud of her. In three weeks time I should know which ones are my keepers- fingers crossed that they will be show quality 🤞🏼I’ve reserved three but if they do not have potential for show/improving my lines they will be released for pet homes.

Four weeks old and ready to move into their pen and a bed, they have no toys to play with because they’ve pooed all over them while I was feeding the hounds.
Big changes for them tomorrow…
The puppies got some new toys today 🐾

That was a success, a quick clean up by Pagan and time for a suckle and nap

Pagan and her puppies moved along to the living room today, after twelve days in my bedroom, she was torn between spending time with us and her puppies and she’s been much more settled now that she’s with us.
I’ve put a children’s play pen around her box so that the others can’t get too close.
I usually use a metal pen but as the puppies grow they can get their mouths stuck in the mesh. Also the plastic is a lot easier to clean.
Pagan is a super Mummy, she loves her puppies. I keep wondering which ones will be my keepers ❤️ and trying not to have favourites!

I love sitting down at the end of the day when it’s all peace and quiet 😱
