✴️Leas 8 amazing pups - by Henri ll✴️

5 weeks old and ready for their new adventure from the 20th of November onwards.

The two ❤️❤️are reserved
The 💙💙 can now be inspected.

They will be smart and active and extremely loyal and person oriented.
Great family pets and company for active people.
Their intelligence makes them well suited for agility and obedience... some show great working instinct.

They are intensely colored trueblues and will be stunning when grown.

For further information, please contact Callanish Heeler.

------
I am happy to discuss if one of them would suit your situation - but PLEASE🙏 as a curtesy to the breeder ...contact me AFTER you "have talked to your partner tonight".
From experience - this partner is very rarely interested and then you dont have to pull the vanishing act and I dont need to wait in vain for you to get back to me.
👍👍👍

"Mega Busta ll" is growing into a very handsome chap.
"He is such a star. Top of both the obedience classes I have been in and just a super friendly fun pup"

I was asked if I have a pup suitable for future obedience events... And this wee man I thought would be just right😊

🍗GO RAW🍗
You want to move away from feeding your dog highly processed crap?

Its neither complicated nor expensive.

A great source - one I can highly recommend - is "GO RAW" [www.goraw.co.nz] based in Hastings, Hawkes Bay. They do deliver, check out their web page.
I know the guys personally and can vouch for them.
Their shop is situated south of Hastings - for locals... go and have a look.
They offer a huge variety of frozen pet food, also dried natural treats and bones.

Feeding species appropriate food is the way to go. Is the way to have a healthy pet. And it is the way to have no more Vet Bills.
Once you distract vet and insurance bills out of the equation - feeding raw becomes the way to go.

At Callanish Heeler - all dogs are raw fed. Have been raw fed for 4.5 years now.
And you can see the result.
Healthy dogs👌👌
And that's what counts

🙃Mega and Cusco🙃

Cusco claimed the vacant passenger seat all the way to town. And in town.
And then I loaded pallets and carpet into the back of the van - and Mega found it against her dignity to share the remaining space with old Creggan and silly Rossita.
And to Cuscos big annoyance - she hopped over the barrier and found the passenger area very much to her liking.

Grandma Cusco wasnt amused.

But those two eventually shared nicely.

Cusco is just such a character. And her granddaughter not far off.
💙💙

Dont be a Dick.....and I fully agree with Wayne👌

Here at German Shepherds Of North East Victoria-Australia we are fortunate that we do not have any of these type of clients.

We ensure all our clients are fully aware of what they are investing in, offering ongoing support as and if required.

As our line of German Shepherds are pretty special to us and to those that see the value in our crew and what we do, to this day NOT ONE of our German Shepherds have ever ended up in this situation👍

They have too much to offer🙊🙊🙊

DISCLAIMER: Remember, it's never the puppy or dogs fault...

🐾🐾When "sh/t" happens ...🐾🐾

As a breeder you plan ahead who you want to breed with whom to have the best possible outcome and puppies that will tick all boxes. Puppies who conserve your lines and the health in those lines and even better the lines . Make them more solid, and slowly erase faults.
You dont just "chuck two of your dogs together" to finance a new car or a horse you always fancied with the resulting litter.

So here is your plan... you mate the dogs... you fret until after a month you see a belly growing. Then you fret that it will be a decent number (6 rather than 10) and finally you fret that the birthing proceeds normally and the pups are all healthy.

With multiple dogs its great when all females are on heat at the same time. Its a massive hullabaloo - but much better than having one after the other heat up.

This was the case here in August. While it was raining continuously here all my girls decided its time to heat up.

With 5 entire males and a 6th old chap who isnt aware the jewels were stolen... it is nothing but management. I had a lot of bones stashed away for the ones seperated in kennels [Yes. All with their water available at all times].

End of August came... all went cold and quiet again.
Phew.

The girls that were mated had taken - so I was very pleased and excited about the coming litters.

And then here was Pumkin.
Lovely girl out of Hui by Koda.

Never a grinning frontliner. But always there. In the background. But she started to become very clutchy. And then started to look well fed.
Hmmm?
None of my dogs is chubby - so this had my alarmbells popping up. And over the next few days they started ringing.

Miss Pumkin who I had not mated carried a litter.
Dear me. And the Sire? No idea. An even bigger DEAR ME!

Relation wise all my 5 stud dogs would have been ok. But Pumkin is a pra carrier - and so are 2 of the possible guys. And the Old Boy is affected.

I can hear the no breed brigade and NON-well wishers and the ones hoping to shred me and destroy me... whispering now. Loudly.

But such can happen - what counts is the result. And how to deal with the result.
Alizining, euthanising or hiding or shelters are not my idea of responsibility.

The litter was born 7 days before the calculated date. So what I had as her start of her heat - was already her LH. And this explains the "oops". But didnt give the parentage.

The litter was born and the pups a normal color with normal skin. Which ruled out Henri ll.
They were heavily and particularly patched. Which ruled out Busta and Creggan (thank god).

So by patch design the two sons of Novak were still in the game.
No merle colored pups indicated that Otomo wasnt the one. While the genetic tests were running at Massey - one of the trueblue girls started to get a reddish tint. And I only have one male with the red gene - Der Boskop.

Then the test results came back and ... Der Boskop is the proven dad.

Congratulations young man!
And Pumkin had picked the best fitting stud available. 🙏🙏🙏

So this is the third litter born here - and super stunning one with trueblues, tricolor and a Seal. Photos of the seven to come soon.

Photos are of Pumkin and the possible 5 dads.

I have posted this (see photos) in one of the groups I am in (link in comments) a few days ago.
For encouragement.
Since it is obvious that a lot of dog owners are scared by all the misinformation spread from Pharma via Vets.

This Fear Factor works on many different levels. Using a lot of psychological factors.

I stepped away from it - since the medical and pharmaceutical knowledge I accumulated through life simply did not add up and I could see that most people were scared of ghosts. And I am not.

And I could also see that there was a growing group of enforcers defending the lead ideas in this FearFactor scenario. The ones who gather and report for reportings sake when rules were breached - no matter if these rules made sense or not ...no matter if these rules led to health problems or not.

The "Negative" catches way more attention on social media - so it is easy to bury an overall great approach/idea under the one nit picked negative. And when there is none - the negative is invented. Easy to do in todays AI/editing world and even easier to spread via closed groups, blocking, banning on social media.

I stepped away from pharma and this Fear Factor a decade ago and the results are proof that this was the right path.
Pushing frontiers is never easy and often comes with a lot of opposition, aggression, defamation and even threats to freedom, life and dogs.

Worldwide - there are many breeders like me who do the same AND who have experienced the same. We all had to and still face groups of people who have forgotten themselves and have forgotten that this is about healthy dogs and have turned it into a personal vendetta of sorts. Who watch 24/7 to find something they could use for their sect-mumblings with the aim to harm, hurt and destroy.

Its bizarre to watch - but seems to have become the norm world wide.
It simply hinders, slows down the momentum on the path to healthy dogs free of injectables and toxins, eating healthy food and be able to be dogs.

I hope that these people realise one day what they are doing in the overall picture and stop their nonsense... because it simply does not make any sense.

For everyone interested in the pharma/vet desaster - the group I originally posted in is eye opening and well managed
