Apparently water tastes best fresh out of the watering can 😄

Thanks you to everyone who enquired about our beauitful Mr Turqs.... he has now found his forever home. His name is now 'Chips'

AND THEN THERE WAS 1!

There always has to be the last of a litter to find their forever home. And here he is.... last, but by no means, least... affectionly known by us as 'Turqs' (turquoise coloured collar). This wee boy is likely the most people focused pup Akora Kennels has ever bred.
As much as he enjoys playing with his litter mates, he absolutely loves the attention of humans, when we are out in the puppy area he is very quick to be looking for attention and cuddles. He is a confident boy with a gentle disposition.
He will be ready for his forever home from the 25th of January.
If you, or someone you know, are looking to add a new member to your family, you will not be disappointed with this wee boy. Please PM me if you'd like more information.
If you feel inclined, I would really appreciate anyone sharing this post so we can find this pup his perfect forever home.

These cutie pies are six weeks old! As ever, they’re continuing to thrive, make great weight gains, and explore more and more. They’ve graduated to hard biscuits, and have been eating them happily.

Here’s their six-week photoshoot: 📸

I spend 1 day prepping and 1/2 a day baking sourdough loaves for a friend.... I leave the 'angel dog', who never steels food off the bench, inside while I go and feed the puppies, and this is what I come back to.
1 'not' happy mumma bear!
Sorry Sarah Edwards, the second loaf will be a few days away now🥺

This is something everyone should see. This xray is of a 2 week old puppy.

When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown - around 12-18 months depending on their breed, you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

The puppies are four weeks old! They are already half way through their time with us—how crazy. They’ve adjusted well to their move outdoors, and are continuing to thrive and grow 😊

Outdoor frolics...

24/12/2024

This afternoon, Storm’s pups made the move to the great outdoors! They were a bit wary, as it’s a big change, but having their mummy with them is a great reassurance. They quickly sussed out the tunnel, after following Storm, and settled down in the shade for a snooze.

These guys love their teddy 🧸💕

Storm’s litter are three weeks old today, and they’re doing great. They are now about 4–5× their birth weights, and will only grow even quicker now they’re on solids (which they’re loving!).

Two gorgeous boys, Mr. Turquoise and Mr. Orange, are still looking for their furever homes 🏠🐾

The puppies ate solids for the first time this afternoon 😊

Storm’s puppies are two weeks old today! This is the first photoshoot of them with their eyes opened. They are handling gaining a new sense very well, and it won’t be long till they can hear, too.

They’re doing great, and now weigh about 3× their birth weights. Over the past few days, they’ve started getting up on their paws and learning to walk. They grow up so fast 🥹

Silly Mr. Orange trying to feed off the new toy (thanks Angi). “It’s soft and fluffy like mum—why isn’t this working??” 😂

Happy collie-days from Storm’s puppies, who are one week old today! 🌟
