Happy 7th Birthday to Amelia and all of her littermates, Alice, Alfonse, Antoinette/Izzy, Archibald/Duke, Arnold/Matyi, Arthur/Zack, Athena/Remi and Apro, over the Rainbow Bridge
We call this wooden box the "creeper box". It has small openings on the sides, so the puppies can go inside, but our older dogs can't get in. There is a bowl of dry puppy food inside the box, and the puppies can creep in for a quick snack when they are hungry
Happy Birthday to our "D" litter: Dáma, Dugó, Dudás, Délceg, Dongó, Duci, Dévaj, Dundi and Dalos
Afternoon playtime! #tappancsvizsla #vizslasofinstagram #vizslapuppy #vizslapuppies #vizslalife #vizslafamily
One of the most important skills a puppy has to learn is "come when called". For hunting dogs, like vizslas, that skill is even more important, as they can be out of earshot while hunting. We introduce the whistle (that can be heard from greater distance than the human voice) as soon as the puppies start eating solid food. These puppies are only 5.5 weeks old, but they already know that the sound of the whistle means "food is coming", so better to hurry! #tappancsvizsla #vizslapuppy #vizslapuppies #vizslasofinstagram #puppyculturepuppies #huntingdog #huntingvizslas #vizslatraining #huntingdogtraining

Future agility champions! 🏆 Only 4.5 weeks old, but already mastered the teeter, the tunnel and the wobble board 😊 #vizslasofinstagram #vizslafun #vizslapuppy #agilitypup
The puppies are exploring their new playground. #tappancsvizsla #puppyculturepuppies #vizslafun #vizslapuppies
Today we started the weaning process with our "special" formula: 1/3 part baby cereal, 1/3 part cooked ground beef, 1/3 part cottage cheese, mixed with warm goat milk to a very liquidy consistency. I guess only half of it ended up in their little tummies, the other half on their paws and furs, from where Amelia happily licked it off. #tappancsvizsla #puppyculturepuppies #vizslafamily #vizslapuppies #vizslafun
Today we added a new item to the lunch menu: warm goat milk. They all liked it and even Amelia momma got a taste of it by licking off the "residue" from their feet and fur 😊. #tappancsvizsla #vizslapuppies #puppyculturepuppies #vizslasofinstagram #vizslafamily #vizslaoftheday
"Folks, the milk bar temporarily relocated to the patio. You should climb over the threshold to get there. The owner of the milk bar" #tappancsvizsla #vizslapuppies #vizslasofinstagram
Getting to the milk bar is getting harder - too much competition 😊
The puppies are doing something new every day! They started using the pee pad in front of the whelping box and keeping the sleeping area in the back clean. They are also moving much better and started to interact with each other. Today's new items in the box are two crinkle toys. #tappancsvizsla #vizslapuppies #vizslasofinstagram #puppyculture #puppyculturepuppies
Nursing 10 puppies is not an easy task for Amelia, so today we started introducing warm goat milk to the pups. The table manner is not perfect, but it's not a concern at this moment 😊
The puppies turned a week old yesterday. By now they all doubled their birth weight and doing what puppies are supposed to do: eating - sleeping - repeat
When the puppies are 3 days old, we start the Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and the Early Scent Introduction (ESI) programs. They are only 4 days old, blind, can't hear yet, and can barely move, but they are reacting to the smell. Today was the second day of ESI and the scent was orange. #tappancsvizsla #vizslapuppies #earlyscentintroduction
The milk bar is stocked and open for business! #tappancsvizsla, #vizslapuppies
Kajla's scent work training video. One box has my socks in it, and the other boxes have someone else's socks. Her task is to find the box that has MY socks in it. She really likes that game! #scentworktraining, #vizslascentwork, #vizslalife, #vizslafun, #journeyagility
