Our Rambunctious Puppies in action ❤
Outside playtime. 5/6 puppies didn't mind getting their feet wet 🤣
Our youngest pup Ruby would make a fine showjumping doggie 🥰🥰🥰
Tess' pups have been spending time together in a crate but today we started training them to cope with being on their own in the crate. Allowing pups to choose to go into the crate is essential,(using small pieces of steamed chicken to entice) and then timing their 'release' before they are asking to leave is critical too. We will be doing this every day before they leave us and each day their time in the crate gets extended. All 7 pups were happy to go in and came out happy little puppies.
Tess' babies at 4 weeks. This leap into the transitional (toddler) stage is wonderful to watch. They are responding exceptionally well to the different sound exposure sessions (so far they've heard Vaccum/washing machine, construction, traffic, thunderstorm and city noise and they are interacting with the different objects we place in their pen (1 per day) eg. a rolled up towel, a block of wood, a lemon, packet of chips, artificial plant. They are now spending a short time outside every day with their mum and are not yet ready to explore the wide open space but that will come soon enough 🥰
Our breeding dogs are our family pets too and although we live in suburbia, they get to come to the paddock with us every day to sniff, run around and let off steam.

The noises, the happy tail wagging...we love these puppies so much
