The pup we're keeping as a future prospect. She's quiet, independent, calm, lower drive, and watches everything- she's a thinker, this one! She's got the night-time potty training down, and as long as someone's paying attention, she'll go stand by the door when she needs to go. Next up, puppy training class with to get the basics down! And then potentially a handling class if they can get them going in our area.

Pirate sold today to another great home: another sheep and goat ranch, where he'll be able to work and play to his heart's content. And he'll have a border Collie buddy to teach him the ropes. 🥹 I am sad tho- we're gonna miss him. He's a great puppy. They've all been so easy and loveable.

First pup went to her perfect home, so now we start the hard core night time potty and individual crate training for the two remaining pups!

Hard core night time potty training and crate training begins! They've always slept in a crate at night, but together. This is the first time they'll be separate. And only 2, cuz one went to her new home today. ❤️

We took the pups to our friend's house just to introduce them to a new location and new people. Pirate just rolled wiTh it! He's so mellow and chilled out. Red was more timid and took a little longer to warm up, but she eventually relaxed too. ❤️

He's so sweet. Someone needs this dog for their family. Totally tolerant of kids, medium drive, very willing to please and loves snuggles.

This is week 3 which is an important week for puppies: they begin to really see, smell and hear and they're introduced to solid food.

So we changed up their area to 1) introduce the concept of a crate as a safe space, 2) introduce solid food, and 3) introduce the idea that the sleep area is separate from the potty area. That is a long term process that takes up to a year or 2, but it starts here. So we've given them enough room that over the next couple weeks they *should* start to poo and p*e in one area and sleep/play/eat elsewhere. Hopefully. We'll see.

Puppy toys and loveys arrive tomorrow.since they're beginning to exhibit playfullness. We'll also start taking them outside to explore different textures and smells/sounds.

Alex actually ended up with 2 Reserve Breed Champions:

A18 Sr Doe (daughter of Aspen) Dwarf Hotot

Goose Sr Buck Netherland (pictured)

A WRF-bred rabbit was Breed Champion in Hotots so we're happy. 🥰

And *I think* she had the 3rd place rabbits in both breeds too.
