They are getting more active and seems to be getting sore for mum with their sharp claws and teeth starting to develop. Will cut their nails early next week.

That’s the pups 2 weeks old today. All had their first worming and got their collars on. They are starting to open their eyes and will get more active in the next week or two. Fionn doing a great job.
The dog pups are blue, orange and green. The girls are pink, purple and yellow.

This is Fionn’s last litter. All born on the 4th May.
6 pups, 3 dogs and 3 bi***es.
All doing well.

Just got a box of CSJ Fish Cuits in today.
Made from 85% fresh wild salmon and grain free. Perfect for training and rewarding your dogs.

I also have salmon oil in which is a natural dietary supplement for dogs. High in Omega-3, which is missing in most dogs diets. Brilliant for joints and skin (makes their coats so soft).
£16 for a 500ml bottle

“Borrowed” from another FB friend’s post.
HOW MUCH FOR A PUPPY?
Let me say a few words to you, yes you, the person who writes an email to simply ask the price. The person who calls and after hearing a price surprisedly states: “I can buy a cheaper pup elsewhere”. I also address you; the person who doesn’t care about papers because I want “just a pet”.
No dog is “just a pet”.
Behind every pure bred puppy/dog is a BREEDER. I’m using capital letters to differentiate a breeder from a pet factory or mill (in the UK referred to as a puppy farm). A reputable breeder does not breed dogs without papers that do not protect the integrity of the breed. Registration (papers) are records of lineage that document bloodline and allow one to research any possible health issues present in the lineage. When you tell a Breeder you don’t care about papers what you’re really telling them is you couldn’t care less about the health of the puppy you just want the cheapest thing you can find! When you select to buy a puppy from a reputable and quality breeder, this breeder is responsible for the health of every pup; both dogs owned and every pup they’ve sold, for its lifetime. This breeder will skip holidays, miss sleeping, and most of their personal house space has been turned into space for their dogs . The truly passionate breeder who loves what they breed, puts their whole heart and soul into it. Not only in puppies that are sold, but also in each client who owns a piece of their heart and now is a member of their extended family. This does not take into account any puppy/dog who might get sick or need extra help to thrive. Breeders worry about their babies after they leave and will take one back without question.
A breeder will get their hands dirty, often covered in everything accompanied with birthing. Because that’s what life is about...In the middle of birth and death is life. The wheel that keeps turning. A breeder will do tests, echos, x-rays, analysis, emergency c-sections, vaccinations, register litters, research pedigrees, deworm, as well as microchip their puppies and get them evaluated by specialists.
Last but by no means least, a breeder CHOOSES the family lucky enough to have one of their puppies. Yes, you read that right. A true breeder chooses who they sell to because they are not making money off the sale. There is no compensation that can offset the investment a Breeder has made so they need to be confident it’s the right fit. Many times saying more no’s than yes...A good Breeder will have different criteria for those wanting to carry on their bloodline, why? Because breeding is not a responsibility to ever be taken lightly, it’s a lifestyle choice set aside for ONLY the few devoted people willing to sacrifice.
Because a dog is never “just a pet” it’s the Breeder’s legacy, a little boy’s best friend, a little girls protector, an elderly persons therapy, a member of the family, someone’s whole world!!!

My son took these pictures yesterday after tiring them out.

08/10/2022

That’s them now 4 weeks old. Getting more active and louder.
Sired by FTCh Jake of Blackburn (Wilson) and the Dam is Moonziemill Murron.
Will make great dogs and with such a small litter they won’t go hungry 😊🐶🐕

Well Moonziemill Murron had her pups the other night. A very small litter of 3 bi***es.
The sire is FTCh Jake of Blackburn.
All doing well and should be an easy litter to manage.

This will always crack me up 😂😂😂 Dogs are family ❤

My son did well again at the game fair this year. He got the 2nd best time in the scurry and also won 2nd in the junior handler competition. He ran Jack but planned to run Murron but she came into season. He was disappointed he couldn’t run her, especially after all the training time he put in. Just as well he had a reserve dog to use.
He won loads of dummies, food from Kronch, certificates, lanyard, trophy etc. well done son and thanks to the organisers and sponsors.

As Spring starts, we are getting more and more phone calls about red bites on your dogs stomach. We wanted to give everyone this information, these are a type of fly bite, and dogs generally get them from laying in the grass. They look terrible, but usually do not bother the dogs. They heal quickly on their own, and do not require any treatment. These flies are usually around for a few weeks every spring and then go away. We hope this eases any worry that you may have had about your own dog!
If you have any concerns please feel free to call the clinic for more information!
