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.

All of Winnie's puppies are fabulous eaters! And she has tons of milk to feed them. They now have their little velcro collars on and have been doing great with the Early Neurological Stimulation protocol we follow from day 3-16 of their life! This helps develop and balance their brains and senses before their eyes and ears open. We've found this to be very beneficial for the puppies throughout their lives!

Boys are in Dark Blue, Red, Black and Green collars 💙 ❤️ 🖤 💚

Girls are in Purple, Pink, Yellow, Light Blue & Orange collars 💜 💕 💛 💙 🧡

Winnie required extra assistance in delivering her very last puppy this time. At 2am we made a trip to the emergency overnight vet clinic to confirm what we feared. Her last puppy was stuck and she could not deliver it. They sedated her to try to assist in delivering it, but failed and at 4:30am rushed her back to do a c-section to remove the puppy who had unfortunately already passed away. We brought all of her other babies with us because we knew it might be an all nighter. I sat in the car while she was in surgery and received a call at 6am saying she came through the surgery well. At 8am we were on the road back home! And both very tired (as you can see in the last picture), but were so very thankful that we had 9 healthy puppies and Mama. She's pretty amazing nursing all these babies as she is recovery from surgery.

Why do I tell you this story?

So you can understand the life of a breeder isn't always puppy snuggling. Sometimes it means staying up all night with the Mama and rushing her into the vet when things just don't seem right. This c-section cost $1,879, but we'll worth it to save our sweet Winnie's life!

PS: The first picture is at the vet clinic waiting for them to take her back for an xray to confirm the puppy was stuck. She had been trying to push that puppy out for 3 hours at that point, all while nursing her 9 other babies with a smile on her face!
