About 2 and half weeks ago Jessie got caught in a snare. We searched for her for 3 days and when we finally found her, after cleaning the wound and waiting for the swelling to go down, we realised that her injury was far worse than we initially thought.
So off to the vet we went and the vet advised that her leg would have to be amputated.
After the amputation, she had to stay a few days at the clinic to ensure that she would cope. To everyone's delight, Jessie adapted immediately.
We brought her home yesterday. The rest of her pack had missed her soooo much.
As you can see from the photos, snuggles are the order of the day.
However, I got a big fright when I let her out at 2am this morning and she didn't return. It seems that galavanting on the farm in the middle of the night is also the order of the day.
We will be keeping a closer eye on her from now on.

We had to say goodbye to Pebbles very suddenly. She got biliary/tick bite fever about two weeks ago and we really thought she was going to pull through, but she took a turn for the worst over night and there was nothing more we could do.

We've made a new friend, and invited her over to Oupa's house for a visit

Fun in the sun

When someone asks me how much my pups cost, 2 things happen in my brain:
1. I think back to all of the pups we've had so far and how much fun I had raising them and how much I now miss them now.
2. I wonder what all the new owners of the pups would say - How much is your pup worth?
It's not about the money - it's for the love of GSPS

I know that there are a lot of scams out there. However, a few tips for buying a puppy in the future: no legitimate proper breeder will let you just come over and look at their puppies. If they do, you won't be allowed to touch the puppies. You will only be allowed to view them from a distance. The reason for this is purely bio-security. These dogs have not been fully vaccinated yet and are therefore at high risk of contracting diseases - which you are now introducing into their environment because you have most probably gone to look at other puppies or been to petshops (even the ones that only sell pet supplies are decease vectors).
Please see this excerpt from an article about the parvo virus - Just one of the deceases that affect dogs:
Canine parvovirus (parvo) affects all dogs, but unvaccinated dogs and puppies younger than four months are at the greatest risk. Highly contagious, it causes an infectious gastrointestinal (GI) illness in puppies and young dogs, and without treatment can be fatal.

Readily transmitted from one place to another on the hair or feet of dogs or by way of contaminated cages, shoes, or other objects, the virus attacks the lining of the intestine and bone marrow. This hinders a dog’s ability to absorb vital nutrients, resulting in dehydration and weakness. Sadly there is no cure for parvovirus, but vaccinating your dog or puppy against parvo is vital to protecting them from infection.

Transmission and Symptoms
Although its origin is unknown, canine parvovirus is believed to have originated from feline panleukopenia virus, another highly contagious and severe infection that causes gastrointestinal, immune system, and nervous system disease in cats. Part of what makes parvo so dangerous is the ease with which it can be transmitted among dogs – most commonly by direct dog-to-dog contact and contact with contaminated faeces (stool), environments, or people. Due to it being resistant to various weather conditions, such as heat, cold, humidity, and dryness, it’s able to survive in the environment for long periods of time, which impacts its ability to spread. As a result of its high survival rate, the virus is able to contaminate kennels, collars and leashes, food and water bowls, as well as the clothing and hands of people who have been in contact with an infected dog. Even trace amounts of faeces from an infected dog may shield the virus and infect other dogs that come into contact with the infected environment.

Some of the symptoms of parvovirus include severe vomiting, bloody diarrhea, loss of appetite, and lethargy. Persistent vomiting and severe diarrhea can cause rapid dehydration, while damage to the intestines and immune system can result in septic shock. Less common but equally vicious, the cardiac or heart form of the parvovirus attacks the heart muscle. A puppy will die suddenly or after a brief period of breathing difficulty due to a collection of fluids in the pulmonary system. The heart form is less common and attacks the heart muscles of very young puppies. Both, sadly result in rapid death.
A legitimate breeder will be registered with the SACBR and/or KUSA.
A legitimate breeder will also be in constant contact with you regarding the puppies and lastly, a legitimate breeder will have their dogs and puppies in their home. Which raises the issue of the health and safety of the breeder's family. Keep in mind that the breeder does not know you. You have (hopefully) researched the breeder. All the breeder knows about you is that you say that you are interested in buying a puppy. How can you expect them to just let you into their homes?
