They've got this down! Whoever gets to add Berlin to their family is getting a heck of a well rounded, loving dog!
While awaiting their perfect home, we continue to work with our pups we are placing.
We prefer to feed in Kennels so we can monitor that everyone is eating well - and their fair share - and, down the road, it helps if you need to slip in meds 🤣. Also another opportunity to work on manding and reinforcing that crates are awesome, safe places so they run to kennel at feeding time! Sydney has really caught on and sits to ask to be let out after she finishes. Berlin is not a fan of sitting... he's too busy... but he stands quietly, so, small victories. LOL (In all fairness they were both quietly laying down digesting until I pulled out phone to video. LOL)
Just what I needed to perk up my spirits today. We got an update on Tenby.
Its so hard when they leave; but this is what every Breeder lives for. Snippets of one of our pups thriving in their forever home with their hoomans.
Thank you Karody for the update!! You guys make a great team!! Our hearts are smiling. ❤️
PSA for AHT owners..... Their nails grow faster than prairie fire with a tailwind. 🤣 Start your pups getting used to nail trims at an early age and keep on top of them. That way toe-ture is not a WWF smackdown cage match struggle.
P.S. The Passport Litter's 9 week pics may be delayed this evening. 64 toes to go then tackling the whelping box ...
PSS... Cairo was paid an extra chicken snack for his staring role in this instructional video. 😉
What style.....what grace. 🤣🤣
We're following Puppy Culture protocols to raise the Passport Litter. In week 4, we are supposed to put obstacles, like pool noodles, in the puppy's way at feeding time so the puppies have to think things through.
For some reason, I don't think pool noodles provide sufficient challenge for this girl!
Whelping pen obstacle.....conquered!
5 countries (Ireland, Wales, Egypt, Germany, and Australia) are represented in the puppy battle royale! Refereed by momma fun police.
Weaning shall commence soon!
Cairo has figured out the whole walking on four legs thing. He hasn't exactly mastered not tripping/waking up siblings.
Beetlejuice did Nekkid Ambition AHTs proud again today at Houston World Series of Dog Shows at NRG.
While Skeeter Dillman was on puppy duty (earning The Best Husband Award) , Cricket Junebug Dillman got the chance to play Reindeer Games again with Beetlejuice and he finished his last leg of his Advanced Buried to earn his Advanced AKC Scentwork (SWA) Title!
So proud of this boy! He has had struggles with Advanced Burried but was in his zone again today and methodically worked the scentcones before making his final decisions.
