Oh, the life of a spoiled singleton who has an incredibly patient & loving mom.
Noël’s little fiend is turning into such a hilarious, mischievous little boy with a ton of personality and charm. His mom is so wonderful with him and despite missing out on having siblings, he is receiving critical social skills (manners that will help him become such a respectful, good doggy citizen as he gets older) from his mom & the pack (the lives in the nursery, but gets to visit with the big dogs and play outside multiple times a day now)!
He is doing fantastically with pad training and is so smart and personable. His little tail is almost always wagging and he loves to be played with and doted on.
Yolko’s kiddos, born June 14th (two day’s before their momma’s second birthday!) having their first bath!
Normally I don’t like bathing them this young, because babies get cold easily & they still are shaky moving around and wobbly babies can get soap or water in their nose/mouth area. However, there are exceptions to every rule, & this batch of babies is a grubby one! So I felt okay about scrubbing them up early. The water wasn’t very high, and the main thing we focused on was getting their feet nice and clean, and didn’t overdo it by making them stay wet for too long. Afterwards, they got towel dried & moved into the nice & toasty nursery (graduated from the whelping room to the nursery today)!
Two boys, Benedict & Shakshuka (sable, & white respectively), and one girl, Sunny (light cream). Benedict is about half the size of his siblings, but is still very scrappy and adventurous. I thought an egg-themed litter would be appropriate, seeing as their mom was named after an egg yolk!
These kids are adorable and are the quality I was hoping for, and I can’t wait for them to continue to grow & get nice and strong.
P.S. Sound on!
I thought an update on Noël’s kiddo was in order.
This fuzzy little guy is looking quite mature now!
He is 6 weeks old now.
Noël turned into a wonderful mom, and cares for him deeply. A little too well, maybe, as he is completely spoiled on her milk w/zero interest to start weaning! Ah, the lavish life of a singleton.
He is basically a carbon copy of his mom, both in personality & looks (what she looked like, at his age… sables do tend to change quite drastically over time). Looking forward to him continuing to mature & entertain both Noël & I with his hilarious antics.
*He will not be available.*
A bit of exciting, hopeful news!
These two girls will be joining the crew as future prospects. They’re coming from Mira’s breeder in AB, and I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for 2 years. I fell in love with Mira instantly, from the moment she came home, and knew that I wanted another pup from her breeder. Their breeder is spectacular and is so wonderful to work with. I know that it will be very well worth the wait for these girls too, I’ve loved watching them grow up from the minute they were a day old.
They are from spectacular lines, and are really beautiful puppies. They are both CKC reg., and their registered names are pending but I have some strong ideas.
Meet Mazzikin and Velocity (names might be changed once I get to meet them, but I think they will stick), who will be coming home tonight. They’ve had a really long day of travel! I am looking forward to welcoming them into my crew.
The kids went on a hike yesterday! It was great to work on off-leash recall (even though they were on leashes, but given a bit of freedom), exposure, and a great source of enrichment and exercise.
They did exceptionally well, I'm extremely impressed with the temperaments of my keeper girls.
Loaf & Adeleine, Kisses x Frazier keepers.
Their wagging tails. <3 These babies just adore people, and love attention.
Mokey, Valentine, & Hex having a blast outside!
Spring approaching means melting ice which means mudddddd! The dogs absolutely love it, though, so we'll tolerate it for them!
Let's see those happy, muddy pups!
Such a sweet baby. <3 Hex, Nancy x Frazier, looking for her forever. This one loves couch cuddles!
