Rio is in the backyard with Mama Brooklyn and Aunt Scout. Look how confident and comfortable Rio is around these two. Scout is 8-½ months old and has been invited by Brooklyn to share mom duties. Together, Brooklyn and Scout are teaching each of the remaining puppies how to be a dog. The pups NEED lessons from (and even corrections from) their mother at this age. 😍 Thanks, girls, for the assist in puppy raising! Ch Niko x Ch Brooklyn
It may not look exciting, but if you've ever had a dog get loose and take off, you know how valuable it is to teach a solid recall. Taking the time to teach and strengthen a recall can save a dog's life. Regardless of my terrible skills at filming this exercise, watch Mira as she works on her recall like a rock star! 🥰 Ch Niko x Ch Brooklyn
Paris had the ball pit all to herself this morning. We're beginning to give each puppy some time alone, some to play and some to work one on one with us. This gives them some time to prepare for their new life without their littermates. 😍 Ch Niko x Ch Brooklyn
Starting off the morning (before 6 am) in the ball pit. Love exposing the puppies to all the sights, sounds, surfaces, and experiences we can to help them grow into confident, well-adjusted dogs. Ch Niko x Ch Brooklyn😍
Just a quick trip through the tunnel for beautiful Miraflores. 🥰😍 Ch Niko x Ch Brooklyn
Mira (pink collar), Austin (green), & Rome (no collar) having fun in the front yard. Watch Mira respond to her name when Richard calls her. What a good girl! Austin clearly hasn't figured out how the tunnel works. 😂 Ch Niko x Ch Brooklyn 🥰
Paris used to LOVE her bunny, but seems intent on shaking it to its death today. Watch to the end to see that adorable little face. ❤️ Ch Niko x Ch Brooklyn
Did a video of the puppies' den area and their play area. They weren't connected until today when we brought out the tunnel to see whether they would enjoy using it. They did! This video is of the set up, but I'll get video of them actually going through it as well. 🥰
