Big day here as 4 of our babies head on their new adventures! I am definitely going to miss this crew, but I’m so excited to watch their lives unfold with their new families 🥰

Official picks happened this weekend and these are our 2 babies still needing a name tag ❤️ Please PM to discuss stamping your family’s name on one 🐾

Edit: Our little blue guy is getting the same name on his tags as one of our past puppies from Sophie x Thor! So excited for them to have another one of our babies 🥰❤️

First vaccines, microchip placed, and clean health reports for all our babies today! They were so good and slept in the car 🥹🥰

We have two who are still looking for their perfect Valentine ❤️

Our babies turned 5 weeks yesterday and got their first bath! They did so well with it 🥰 They are starting to get acclimated to other areas of the house. They’ve been doing really well with that! They had their pen expanded again and a crate added with comfy blankets to lay on. Several babies are already enjoying naps in there ☺️

Our little babies are 4 weeks already and starting to show off their personalities! They are fun, loving, and snuggly 🥰

They’ve graduated to a larger play area and have been experiencing new toys, sounds, and safe, small intros with some other dogs. Several of the pups didn’t care one bit they were taken to a new area for pictures and were bouncy and focused on hopping over to me and giving me kisses ❤️😆

Our babies had their first meal (raw, locally raised ground beef and goats milk) and absolutely loved it! 😊

They’re becoming more social and active by the day! They started greeting us at the front of their box a couple days ago and their little personalities are already shining through 🥰

Baby photo dump of the last week and a half since I never remember to post in the moment 😆 They opened their eyes this weekend and had their first worming and nail clip. They’re becoming even cuter and snugglier by the day 🥰

We do still have two looking for another toddler to snuggle with in a few short weeks🐾

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.

Finally picked a theme! This litter will be our “Winter litter” ❄️. Our babies turned 1 week on Saturday! The pictures could be better, but thankfully their cuteness makes up for it!

A very proud little guy’s first time meeting these babies 😍 He was very opposed to leaving the box 😆

Snuggly, sweet babies 🥰 We have black, blue, liver, and Isabella, what’s your favorite color shepherd?

Sami girl is doing wonderfully and gave us 7 healthy babies 🥰 We ended with 3 girls (2 blues and a liver) and 4 boys (an Isabella, 2 blues, and a black and silver). All are long coated and will likely have silver points ❤️

12/28/2024

BABIES ARE COMING!! So far we’re at 4 out of an expected 8 😍 2 blue girls, 1 liver girl, and 1 Isabella boy so far ❤️

Improved my set up this time and I’m really excited! And now we wait! Any day now, I doubt this girl is holding out until New Years Eve. 😍

Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄

Sami girl came back last night so she can settle in and have her babies here with us 🥰 This morning she decided the best place to do that was right in front of where the delicious bacon smell was coming from 😆

Sami is due New Years Eve! Declan has been loving on her this morning as well and says she has “5 babies” coming. We will see soon if he’s right ❤️
