Here is a picture of Luna (Isabel when she was with us) from our first litter of Croatian Sheepdogs.

We always love seeing pictures and getting updates on dogs that have flown our coop. We are happy to say they are all well loved and doing well.

Luna’s owner proudly describes her as “The best dog he’s ever had.”

This is Mihajlo (pronounce Me-Hi-Lo) and he is my (Jenna’s) favorite puppy.

Mihajlo is not reserved yet. He is possibly the most affectionate of the pups as he’s recieved the most cuddling and attention since birth. I had to treat his eye very frequently in the beginning and he also had a hard time at survival the first few days of life, so he was held constantly and fussed over A LOT. He still is held a lot by me. He is most comfortable being loved on and loves big in return.

We haven’t shown a lot of Mihajlo because if we were to keep one, it would be him. But we don’t need another with the 2 dogs we already have that need more of our time as it is.

Mihajlo is in excellent health, no worries! The vet gave him a glowing report on Friday.

Our last litter we will have. We still have 2 males and 2 females available. All have full tails!

Clara-Belle and Bob have figured out the steps. The rest just sit at the bottom and whine. I imagine in a couple days they will have enough confidence to do it too!

Emily. Picture in comments.

What we’ve observed about her so far- friendly and social, companionable, adventurous and adaptable. Less cautious than her litter mates and perhaps a bit more aloof. 🤪

Sassy. Vocal.

She has a long tail and a small white spot on her chest that has gotten smaller since birth. It will likely disappear altogether.

Big boy Burl looking out of his newly arranged space.

Not sure if there’s anything cuter than a Croatian Sheepdog puppy but I guess we are partial.

The puppy space got a thorough cleaning and rearranging today. As the puppies grow, their space expands and they get new freedoms and more room to play.

Nice day to exercise and get some sunshine. The girls feel like romping and the boys feel like napping in a pile. 😴

Anna named this little girl “Clara-Belle”. Once we receive deposits on our puppies, we start calling them by the name their new owner gives them if they’ve already got a name picked out.

Clara-Belle is among the more social of the puppies so far. She likes to follow the girls around and is generally up in everyone’s business.

Wobbly steps, the first tail wags and playful interactions are all a profound source of joy in raising puppies.

Daily interactions with wild and busy children gives these puppies lots of good socialization and a high tolerance for shenanigans and surprises by the time they graduate from the Happy Acre.

Burl is the biggest most active puppy. Always the first to reach a milestone!And he is still available!

I had set my kennel aside for a time because of an issue with a woman who created a gofundme account under my dog groups name, the financial expense of raising a litter in a bad economy, and the lack of time in our busy schedule. So I did not intend to have a litter anytime soon. But my dogs on the other hand had a different idea. Around the time we were preparing for Christmas and I was settling into a new job, the dogs were quietly creating a new litter of puppies. On Valentine’s Day, 7 new puppies were born. As it is right now there is a waiting list and I will begin to contact those people soon. Please be patient as we have a farm, jobs, and children, and not a lot of time.

Snow day make for wild days!

Now that the puppies are weaned, Miho has his playmate back. Poor Miho was distraught that Mara would have absolutely nothing to do with him when the pups were born. They romp like this several times a day. Crouching, pouncing, tripping, wrestling. They really are an even match! Miho is faster than Mara, but Mara has more endurance and never ending energy.

Alert and responsive. This is Mara.

I just can’t even with these puppies. 🤭 They are so stinking cute!

My mom was out earlier. She breeds another rare breed- American Hairless Terriers. She made the observation of how non-nippy the Croatian Shepherd pups are, as opposed to her hairless pups, where as the Croatian Shepherd pups are much more vocal than her pups. It’s true. This breed likes to communicate by barking. A fine example here!
