This is Winnie's litter eating one of their first puppy mush meals!

There are 4 females avaliable in this litter (all males have deposits holding them in this litter).

All of our litters are now eating puppy mush or solid puppy food now, which meals the chores have quadrupled with these sweeties.

We've had sick kids at our house, but that's getting better too. Hoping to get updated pictures and videos posted in the coming days!

If you are interested in a puppy we have a few avaliable in each litter. All will be ready before Christmas, but can be held until Christmas if needed.

Ready for breakfast!

After each of our Mama's delivers their puppies we start giving them a postnatal vitamin called Oxy Mama. This helps support lactation and helps their body recover from being pregnant. Weve found this helps immensely and paired with eating 8 cups of food per day they do not get pulled down nearly as bad. All of our current Mama's are feeding 9+ babies and look as healthy as they did prior to getting pregnant.

Our son as adequately named these vitamins "Milk Duds"! And he loves giving the Mama's their Milk Duds twice a Day!

Lilly's litter turned 3 weeks old yesterday! Everyone's eyes are open and they are starting to use their legs more and more each day! Lilly often stands up to nurse now to help them build up their leg muscles!

They are also starting to use their little voices in growlinging and barking. It's so cute to listen to them. They no longer like laying on towels all the time and so we start arranging part of their space with folded towels for them to nap on.

Winnie's litter love snuggling with each other! Their little faces change so much once their eyes open up completely!! Winnie is still doing fabulous nursing them, but prefers to sit up or even stand which helps build the legs muscles up in her puppies. She likes to sit outside the whelping box and watch them more & more than lay down with them. They weigh between 2.5pbs-3.5lbs right now.

1 male
4 female spots avaliable for deposit in her litter.

Early Neurological Stimulation

The Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) exercises, which are conducted once daily from the third to the 16th days, is a period believed to be a time of rapid neurological growth and development. Even though puppies are very immature during this time frame, they are sensitive and respond to ENS.

The US Military developed this method designed to improve the performance of future military working dogs, according to the Breeding Better Dogs program developed by Dr. Carmen Battaglia, esteemed breeder, judge, seminar presenter, and AKC board member.

ENS requires handling the puppies one at a time while performing a series of five exercises. Listed in order of preference, the handler starts with one pup and stimulates it using each of the five exercises. The handler completes the series from beginning to end before starting with the next pup. The handling of each pup once per day involves the following exercises:

1. Tactile stimulation – Holding the pup in one hand, the handler gently stimulates (tickles) the pup between the toes on any one foot using a Q-tip. It is not necessary to see that the pup is feeling the tickle. Time of stimulation 3 – 5 seconds.

2. Head held erect – Using both hands, the pup is held perpendicular to the ground, (straight up), so that its head is directly above its tail. This is an upwards position. Time of stimulation 3 – 5 seconds.

3. Head pointed down – Holding the pup firmly with both hands the head is reversed and is pointed downward so that it is pointing towards the ground. Time of stimulation 3 – 5 seconds.

4. Supine position – Hold the pup so that its back is resting in the palm of both hands with its muzzle facing the ceiling. The pup while on its back is allowed to sleep. Time of stimulation 3-5 seconds.

It is extremely important that you do not repeat the exercises more than once per day and do not extend the time beyond that recommended for each exercise. Over stimulation of the neurological system can have adverse and detrimental results.

What Does ENS Do?
When performed correctly, ENS is believed to impact the neurological system by kicking it into action earlier than would be normally expected, the result being an increased capacity that later will help to make the difference in its performance, according to Breeding Better Dogs. ENS is time sensitive and must be performed from the third to the 16th days of a puppy’s life.

The exercises are not a substitution for daily handling and stroking of young puppies.

Five benefits have been observed in canines that were exposed to ENS, including improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate); stronger heart beats; stronger adrenal glands; more tolerance to stress; and greater resistance to disease.

In tests of learning, ENS stimulated pups were more active and exploratory than their non- stimulated littermates, according to Breeding Better Dogs.
