Mānawatia a Matariki!

Matariki is a special occasion in the Aotearoa/New Zealand calendar which marks the start of the Māori New Year. Celebrated by Māori for centuries, this year is only the second year that it has been a public holiday.

The timing of Matariki is different each year and is signified by the Matariki (Pleiades) cluster of stars reappearing in our night sky, this is a time to reflect on the past year, celebrate the present, and plan for the year ahead.

Welcome to the world 🌎 💕

These 5 beauties were born naturally on the 16th April ❤ 3 boys and 2 girls. Zuri did so well during the births for her first litter, very relaxed and calm. So much so she gave birth to her first puppy on the sofa! All puppies are doing great and Zuri has been an amazing mama thus far ❤ Thank you Nancy for everything you've done for us on making this litter possible ☺ We are truly grateful🙏
