The Legacy Litter on day seven settles down for a morning nap in their 3’ x 3’ puppy playpen. All are fed, either momma’s milk or milk replacer. All have had time to hang out with momma in the whelping pen.

Momma Chloe is feeling better and we are being very careful with her. She is enjoying all the special food and snacks, especially chicken breast jerky and dehydrated beef liver. She has calcium whelping gel and a nutritional supplement, Dyne, throughout the day and night.

We appreciate so much the assistance of Kesha Beckers of Kesha’s Grooming at Prism Place.

Chloe & Manny’s Legacy Litter Update.

It is Day 5 for these fourteen incredible puppies and their sweet momma, Chloe. Feeding and caring for this large litter is a huge challenge for Chloe and for us, her humans.

On Tuesday night, Chloe had a bout with a beginning case of eclampsia. I have been sharing the whelping room with her at night, and thank God, I was awake to see that she was in trouble. We caught it quickly, got calcium gel, water, Dyne, and milk replacer in her and she began to feel better. We started supplemental bottle feeding of the puppies immediately. So now the puppies are hand-fed and have a short time to nurse after their tummies are full. Chloe is doing better and we are keeping a close watch over her and the puppies.

Photos: loving momma and a baby. The chunky seven asleep for their morning nap. The “littlest” settle down to sleep too.

Has your dog learned life skills?

🐾🐕Training and behaviour modification is more than teaching your dog to sit and focus. Dog life skills involve a range of abilities that help a dog handle different events and situations, deal with challenges, and adapt well to their family home and environment.

Emotional resilience is important because it helps a dog manage stress and bounce back from challenging situations. For example, a dog that stays calm during vet or grooming visits, or one that adjusts well to sudden changes in routine, such as a new baby or a move shows emotional resilience. This ability allows dogs to handle new or difficult experiences, such as meeting strangers or walking through a busy street, with calmness rather than fear.

Adaptive behaviours enable a dog to adjust effectively to different environments and routines. For example, a dog that can easily adapt to different places, like a friend’s house or a new park, and follow changes in the daily routine, such as a shift in meal times or activities, demonstrates strong adaptive skills. These behaviours help a dog thrive in various settings and manage changes without becoming overwhelmed and stressed.

Confidence plays a virally important role in a dog's ability to approach new experiences in life with curiosity and positivity. A confident dog might eagerly explore new objects, like a strange toy or piece of furniture, and approach new people or dogs without hesitation. This confidence supports learning and engagement, making the dog more open to training and socialisation.

Handling skills are important for a dog's health and well-being, especially during vet visits and grooming. A dog with good handling skills stays calm and cooperative when being examined or groomed. This means they accept touch and restraint, such as during vaccinations or nail trimming, without getting stressed. Dogs that are comfortable with handling are less likely to become anxious or reactive, making vet visits and grooming smoother and more pleasant. Helping a dog learn to handle these situations well helps them stay relaxed and makes the experience better for both the dog, veterinarian, groomer and their owner.

Social skills in dogs are important for their overall well-being and positive interactions with people and other animals. They help dogs engage appropriately, reducing the likelihood of aggression and stress. For example, a dog that greets new people calmly rather than jumping up or barking shows good social skills, making situations like vet visits more pleasant. Additionally, well-socialised dogs are often more focused and responsive during training, especially in group settings, because they’re accustomed to various stimuli. Good social skills also help dogs adapt to new environments and situations more easily, which reduces stress..

Independence involves encouraging a dog to be comfortable alone and engage in independent play. This can include leaving a dog alone for short periods without distress or providing toys and activities that keep them entertained while you’re away. Building independence helps reduce separation and isolation distress and creates self-confidence, making a dog more content and less reliant on constant human interaction.

💜To help your dog develop these skills, start early and use positive reinforcement, rewarding desired behaviours with treats, praise, and toys. Gradually introduce your dog to new experiences, environments, and interactions in a controlled manner, making sure not to overwhelm them. Create a consistent training routine and expose your dog to various situations, such as meeting new people and other dogs, to build their confidence. Regularly practice handling to make them comfortable with grooming and vet visits. Create training sessions focused on skills like recall and loose lead walking, and be patient, understanding that each dog learns at their own pace.

For additional guidance, please find a science-based positive reinforcement trainer in your area 🐾

He is the Red RANGER, ready for adventures in the outdoors. Maybe he hikes in the mountains or runs around in a fenced-in backyard.

Presenting ACE! He is the largest puppy of the Red Patriots litter and has the most profound red coat, just like his daddy, Russo. Ace playfully barks at us to get our attention. He not only gives kisses, but he also gives nose bumps! We have nicknamed him “Bumper.”

He has no environmental issues and is a strong candidate for service work or personal protection. He is a high-energy dog and needs lots of exercise. He is good with people and other animals.

Loving, smart, and responsive.

The MAJOR is here! Make sure you salute him because he is a serious-natured, yet funny, little dude. He talks to us and wants to snuggle. What a responsive, loving boy!

08/17/2024: Temperament Tested by CGS K9 Services. This sweet puppy will need loving training, socialization, and regular grooming to help him adjust to life. Positive reinforcement with high-value treats will work wonders. He will thrive in a quiet home with middle-aged or senior humans.

Victoria... Independent puppy ideal for Personal Protection Training.

VICTORIA reminds us of how sweet it is to be victorious in life. This precious puppy will go far with her human family… she is trainable and would likely do very well in personal protection. A perfect companion-to-be, she waits for her new family to choose her.

She is going to want to be in charge. She is very social and has no environmental issues. She would excel as a PERSONAL PROTECTION DOG and must have a job to keep her busy.

AVAILABLE!
Captain is a fitting name for this even-tempered, calm, and cooperative little boy. At 8 1/2 weeks he shows a maturity and steadiness that is extraordinary.

He is a little shy, and will sit back and think about what is happening. He is not excitable or impatient, but rather takes things in stride. He does cry a little when he needs attention, so naturally we respond by showing him love, picking him up and giving him snuggles. I call him “ Cappy.”
