Today all the 11 girls have been at Grove lodge Vets to have a health check and their first Jabs. It was a mission to get them all in the car but a large handbag save us some trips.
They are all super healthy and between 5 - 5.5kg in weight. The vet said that she had never seen such a large litter so even and healthy. It obviously has paid all the sleepless nights making sure everyone had a go an the hundred goats milk bottles. We are officially the no runt litter. I feel so proud of mum Pepa, the girls and my hard labour of love paying out. Now my girls are ready for their new loving families! 🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾🧡

7 weeks update: Girls & Mum having a rough & tumble, only five days to go till 7 of them will be leaving to their new families, there are three still waiting to meet forever homes.
I’m missing them already and yet honestly it’s so much work that I will be relieved as well so it’s kind of paradoxically confusing for me.

Nowadays Peps doesn’t want to do much with them but once or twice a day she enters the lions den and has a proper play, she also does all that running around while they chase her around the house and the fierce growling at them to teach them boundaries, I have to stop my self from my own fear and force my self to trust the nature’s way. She’s preparing them to know boundaries and Dog’s social codes aka you don’t mess about with an angry dog.
So instead of telling her “Pepa nicely” I just shut up observe and learn. Such a journey 🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾

Day 38: All the girls got Microchiped by Rachael with Pettrack chips apparently better than Petlog, great service. Along with Rachael came Emily, her daughter, she fiercely went in the cage of the lions and got buried by puppies, she had a laugh!!! We all did 😬Look at the little feet sticking out of the bunch. 🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾

28/06/2021

At the moment this girl looks like she’s quite chilled possibly one of those RR gentle giants. Her chest marking is really cool with the shape of an A ... Do you see it? she may become an Amber. 🐾💚🐾💚🐾💚🐾

5 weeks update: The girls seam to have stretched length ways this week spreading out their puppy fat, need to increase the 2kg of raw meat and 3ltr of goats milk they eat a day. We took 5 to be DS tested by Sue Graigie (Imbali) first time out of the house and in a car they slept through the 3hours journey and managed to wee on the water bowl which seamed very nit and considerate. They were all DS clear 🙏🏼 We gave them some chicken wings as treat after their raw meat diner which they devoured just leaving the little clean bones for mama. Yesterday we attempted a second photo shoot of some. 🐾🧡🐾🤎🐾🧡🐾

Mis Pink 🌸 is becoming a very confident girl and pretty. Looking forward to meet a family that will take care of her as she deserves. 🐾🌸🐾🌸🐾🌸🐾🌸🐾🌸

Day 35: The girls are 5 weeks now! 🎉 we have made an extension to the pen that it’s taking the whole of the sitting room so girls can stretch their legs a bit more... happy with the results. 🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾 Yesterday we brought five of them to be DS checked by Sue Graigie, they were so good in the car journey no complaints... And no signs of DS!!

4 weeks old: the girls are coming onto their own. It’s constant poo patrol but so much more fun! This was the first weekend in which families came to visit to choose their future pup. It’s been so much fun to meet some of the people that will be taking these gorgeous puppies home in 4 weeks time. Looking forward to meet the rest!
💜❤️🧡💚🖤💛💖🤎💙💚
