Week 11 and these ladies are growing into such lovely, sweet, smart, & confident girls. They spent the afternoon at Partridge Creek today… new noises, sights, smells, and a lot of new faces to meet and greet. I am so impressed with how their training is coming along. We had many compliments on how well behaved and calm they are!
P.S. Look for LOTS of videos coming! We have been videoing, but not getting them posted! We’re going to play catch up:)

It’s a late night post for our 7 week photos, but a great way to start your morning! 🐾🐶. This week is our busy, busy week making sure we are preparing our sweet babies in every way that we can before they leave us…The night got away from us, as we worked on sweeping! Lol. The goal was to sweep the crate without puppies chasing the broom! Once we established what was being expected & lots of reward…we had 9 puppies sitting watching as the broom went by! Mission accomplished! 😊. All have accomplished their defualt sit and many will shake your hand as well:) Smart, sweet babies are almost ready to take flight. 🥰🐶🐾

Week 6 is moving fast with all the Christmas Excitement!! We had lots of Christmas Visitors, including Santa…we’ve heard just about every noise under the sun….my girls said, “Mom, I think you have finally over socialized, there’s not a noise on earth that startles them!” Lol 😂🐾We’ve worked on our default sit, enjoying food puzzles this week, our time in the snow, and we are AMAZING night time sleepers!!!! I count that as a major win! Enjoy our pics, as we have grown a lot this week! Mr. Artemis weighing in over 11lbs…💙

Sorry we’re here a day late! Our first grand baby was born…aka the next generation of golden lovers has started! We will post pics of her soon…but for now…as you’ve been waiting…here we are at week 5! We are a quiet litter and very content. We are what we call “Mush” they just melt right into your arms and cuddle you..if you sit down, all nine are in your lap. This week we continued to work on different textures ,grass, Linoleum, wood, felt… we listened to fireworks, babies crying, kids playing…we met the vacuum, ate from noisy tin pans… we did a lot of playing and napping as growing puppies do! We’re excited to meet our new golden families this weekend. We have a handsome fella still 🐾👀

Oh my word!!! These boys are so Handsome, and these little ladies….Adorable! Try if you dare to pick your favorite. 🐶🥰🎄🐾
This week we did a lot of “news”, and we are such observers! We watch and then we try!We worked with different textures…Did you know puppy’s have super sensitive receptors in their tiny little paw pads?!? These young exposures to different textures are guiding them to be confident pups when they are ready to meet the world! We also worked with novel household items. Lots of instrumental music this week, different birds sounds, and park noises. We’re working our way towards next weeks adventures. Stay tuned!

I know this isn’t puppy related, but I just had to share these beauties with our Golden Acre Family! When we’re not attending to puppies, we’re always up to something animal related. 🎄🎄🌲🌲🥰🐮
Josie babies will meet these ladies in a couple of weeks on their farm walk 🐾🐶

Today was our first official day of learning to lap our first food and goat’s milk successfully! It took two days to learn its for eating not swimming 🐾🐶🥰….And now that our bellies are full, visions of sugarplums dance in our heads 🎄🎄🐾🐾🐶🐶 Video coming soon:)

Week 3 is here! We’re starting out strong with lots of puppy wrestling, and if you can believe it, we know how to climb out of our puppy crate already! We are always excited about this week and the beginning of so many news for these sweet babies. Young puppies acquire new memories and new skills so quickly. We are always amazed at what they can learn so young. This week we will focus on new sounds, lots of instrumental, novel items, and some different textures. It’s the beginning of creating lifelong confident puppies. A couple of our handsome fellas are looking to be someone’s winter snuggle bug 🐾🐾🐶🐶🥰🥰

This has been one busy, busy week for us! We’re working hard to prepare these babies to leave us and transition to their forever homes. We have begun going outside to go potty, upon waking and after eating. We’re still using our potty box indoors, with really no accidents….thats a win! We are pros at our default sit! Charlotte has worked so hard with them! Star student this week is Willow! He LOVES people, and to play…He gets soooo excited to see you…he has now concurred the default sit! Yay!!!! We also did some clicker training with Isabel. We’ve listened to storms, household noises, birds, busy city’s, & farm animals. We have worked on small obstacles like climbing over the gate entrances and small 3 step stairs. We’ve also worked on staying still on the grooming table to get our nails done. This Thursday we will head to the vet and for our car ride! Stay tuned for more puppy fun 🐶🐾😊

Our Fabulous Four got to meet their fur ever families yesterday. It’s always such a great day! We always feel so blessed with the amazing families for our sweet puppies🐶😊. It’s hard to believe they are already 6 weeks old and on their way to starting their new adventures. We will continue to prepare and prep them to meet the big new world that’s waiting for them 😊🐶💙🩷🧡💜
