Dogs at play
Imani has been accepted by the other two. It was a surprisingly easy transition. She still lacks a bit of confidence but her progression has been awesome and pain free (so far).

Great video from Boerboel Australia Inc that explains a bit about the breed.

Lexi the little savage......
Zoe’s meal routine. She is growing well up to 35kg.
Rosie is in season so I’ve had to keep her separated from Gus
Big afternoon, all puppies had a bath and their nails clipped. We had a big play in the outside pen and then we had a play inside the house. Im starting to teach them the word 'no' and 'good' and not to bite me. Orange boy got me in the middle of my shorts. Rosie has decided they are ready to come off milk, I think she's had enough, its been coming for a few days now . She's done an awesome job and has earnt some much deserved time off. Gus is still mothering them he did his best to follow them around the house and even had a play with them while laying down. Fatty loves going for rides on the recliner chair, white girl is fascinated with the dish washer.
It’s very wet outside so I thought I’d let them loose inside. What a mess they made poops and wee everywhere. They seemed to have fun.
Hanging outside with eight Boerboels.
Chilling outside with the pups.
Day 27 The puppies are looking awesome, Mum and Dad are doing really great as well. Dads turned into more of a baby sitter than mum. He is regularly going in and checking on the pups while mum is laying directly under the aircon. He's a good boy looking after the missus and letting her get some rest. Had a good weight gain today of 110g. Average weight is 3242g, fatty has come back to the lead at 3420g and hit a 10 out of 10 on the cuter scale. Purple is still a big favourite in the 'look at me im lovely' category. Red is the rowdy boy, Orange is the most dudesome today. Brown has taken the 'crack me up' award and Green is his usual chilled super cool self. White girl is a bit of a grey man but boy does she love Big Pa cause he brings cuddles and food, After weighing I went to put her back in the box and she hung onto me and took a fair bit of convincing to let go. Very noisy this morning i had to enlist mumma and puppa dogs to help quiet them down. Mum was in the box cleaning and feeding them, Gus was cooing at the ones still waiting to be weighed and I was the mad chook doing everything else. What a team, I've called our little team the NQB Puppy machine. In the fawn corner we have Big Bubba Lover Gus, in the red corner we have Mumma Milk Shake and in the crazy corner is the Bald Mad Chook. White and Brown are still available. Have had a few people backing out, which is cool, much respect for those who make the tough but responsible decision. If your not ready, regardless of the reason its best for the pup to let it go. All things going well, there will be another Rosie Gus litter this time next year. Im on the look out for another special breeder girl for Gus, so there will definitely be more pups in the future. Its a big job but the little buggers are just so damn cute, how could i not do it again. Im definitely getting softer as i get older in more ways than one.
Must be time to trim the puppies nails again, Rosie has stopped laying down for them to feed.
Rosie after giving the pups a big feed. They have had milk and then beef this morning. They are currently in the outdoor pen and had a play and now all are sleeping. Average weight is 2917g and Green boy has taken the lead at 3070g. Had a few people back out of getting a pup, so currently i have Brown and Green Boys and White girl available. I think the price is bothering a few people, sorry guys but that is the going rate in Australia and I cant change it. I think the uploading problem is fixed and I'll do a longish video late today.
Got some very healthy puppies this morning. They had a big feed off mum and a good feed of beef and know it’s time for a nap. Average weight was 2730g fatty is still leading the race.
Alright we are at the end of week three. All puppies and pouches are happy and healthy. Average weight this morning was 2528g. Most people have there puppy pics after today I should have a male and a female left to go.
Woke the puppies up so i could change out the bedding. I had to do a quick vid first cause they were so cute. There were a few poops on the towels, but it was good to see they are starting to use the wee mat. I also discovered that their getting teeth, poor Rosie's boobs are in for it. Im going to clip the pups nails tomorrow if i can keep them still for long enough; wish me luck......
Everyones happy and healthy. Average weight was 1752g, Fatty is at 1860g. Purple girl is the one kissing Rosie's nose, she has won me over i just love her. Green boy is a very close second im guessing he will make a great companion dog. Red boy has won my son over, so he is no longer available, family first, sorry if you had your eye on him. I'll be doing another individual photo session later this week, hopefully the new collars arrive before hand.
I left the gopro going, by accident, while i was taking the puppies photo's. Its a bit boring, but if you want some more cuteness in your life...... And yes i sound like a girl when im talking to the puppies, real men do it.
Day 11 and all is well. Thought you would appreciate a video for a change. Ive ordered two new sets of collars from a different supplier, hopefully they will last a bit longer than a week.
Everyones doing well. Had to up Rosie's calcium intake yesterday and were ticking along nicely. Average weight is up to 989 grams. Fatty Boombah is still winning the growth race at 1110 grams, she's a machine.
Rosies keeping an eye on me. Average weight of the pups is 920g. The big girl is 1017g and i think i got her before her morning feed. Ive nicknamed her fatty boomba. Orange boy is super cute with his little wrinkles on his face. Red boy keeps shaking his collar off, he's the most active out of the lot. Purple girl is such a cutie and im guessing will have the same beautiful temperament as Rosie. Green boy loves the heat mat, he must still be feeding regularly as he has great weight gains, but when ever i check in on them he's always asleep on the mat.
Funny thing happened last night, Rosie barked at something outside and with each bark her boobs clapped together.
Cleaned the dog box out and weighed the pups. Now that I've woken everyone it feeding time.
Gus found an old toy in the backyard. Its his favourite for now.
Froffee face. Yes froffee is word. I have a froffee coffee daily.
