10 weeks

Now there are only 2 puppies here. Penny & Billy.

Billy is gonna stay with me for a while while he grows but he is reserved if he turns out the way we think he will:)

Penny is of course staying, she’s my pick and the rest have all gone to their homes now. Myla and Cookie will both be shown, Junior went to a pet home here in Belgium where I have the chance to see him every now and then.

So there are only photos of Penny and Billy now:

All the puppies will go with a brand new crate, special toys they have been playing with, some chews, blanket, Eukanuba puppyfood, foodbowl and collars and leashes. Here’s a photo taken the day the leashes came and the puppies were trying them on:

7 weeks

The weekly photoshoot has taken place:) I had big plans this morning when the sky was blue and weather was nice to take photos of the pups outside to get a bit different backround.. well when the time came to take the photos clouds had taken over and I thought well it’s still warm and dry so I started to setup a table and the “stacking mat” I always use so they wont slip and what happens.. it starts to rain!

So I went inside, setup there and took the photos. I had no bait for the puppies this time , they were newly fed so they’ve got big bellies on the photos:) They were also a wee bit tired, you can see it in their eyes that they just wanted to sleep and not do all this stacking.

This week I also took photos from the front, rear, side and then just of the puppies sitting:)

We’ll start with Penny this time

Caeles It’s Showtime!

Then I took the puppies for a little ride in my car, they all behaved very well, and when I got where I was going I got to let them out to explore and see how they reacted in a new place, with a barking dog on the other side of the fence and they came around very quickly, after the first 5 minutes of being a bit unsure of the whole situation and holding back a bit they started playing, sniffing the ground, the grass, running around and being their usual selfs:)

I had the camera with me and here are photos from that day:)

That’s it:)

6 weeks

Well, the puppies are 6 weeks old now, as active and playful as can be.

They have all gotten names for their pedigrees, the girls name are definite I might change the boys names but I think this will be it:)

It is also decided what girl goes were and both the boys are reserved.

I haven’t done much with the pups, now we’ll try to do some more socializing and put them in new situations. I’m starting to mix their “puppy start” kibble with “puppy maintence” kibble, both from Eukanuba of course.

The puppies were dewormed again on friday and I’ll deworm them again in 2 weeks.

both boys have 2 testicles and everything is as it should be:)

Here’s boy 1 who will now be known as Caeles Timing is Everything:

Boy 2 who will no be known as Caeles Time to Go

- -

And girl 1 has now gotten the name Caeles Time Of My Life

- -

And girl 2 is now Caeles Timeless Beauty

Penny will be staying and her name will be Caeles It’s Showtime:

That’s it for this week:)

5 weeks

Finally, time for a weekly update. The pups are 5 weeks old now and we took new stacked photos today.

I have been training the puppies to stand on the table now, everyday 1-2 times and thought that would make this photoshoot easier and quicker.. well it didn’t go as planned, the puppies are busy, they have an exciting life and they don’t want to stand still on a table with all 4 feet on the ground and in special places.. 

I brought out the liverpatè I’ve used to train them and it started going a bit better, Penny (the fawn girl) was HUNGRY (or just plain greedy), just look at her:

She got my fingers several times, those little teeth are razor sharp but she did not stack for me unless she was getting the liver so obviously I will have to try to train her to stand without treats -or teach her not to bite my fingers:)

The pups are almost always now just out free with the other dogs, and not in their puppypen unless they’re eating or if I’m cleaning and don’t need puppies chasing the cleaning mop all over the floor and then stopping to pee were I have just cleaned:) They are so cute!

I have made a little plastic lure coursing bait for the puppies to play with and the blue girls think it’s very interesting and I think they show great promise as possible coursing dogs, , the boys also think it’s interesting and Penny thinks it’s way more fun to attack her siblings when they are playing with it.

I haven’t still decided who gets what name, I will probably pick names for the boys this week so next time I’ll blog they will have names, the girls I’m still a bit undecided with as I haven’t made up my mind on who I will be keeping and who will be going where so that will just have to wait a bit.

Here are the photos we got today:

4 weeks & stacked!

The puppies are 4 weeks old now, wich means time for stacked photos!

The puppies did great, I haven’t been stacking them much at all. The fawn girl had to be the brat and princess and make it difficult. I didn’t have big expectations for these photos but the puppies really surprised me and we got these photos in 10 minutes tops -with fawn girl taking the most time:)

The puppies moved up to the livingroom yesterday, I went out and bought material to make a little puppypen for them so now they have their own little area where they can play and sleep and be with us and the other dogs all the time.

Unfortunatly I was charging the camera battery so I didn’t get any photos, but the pups vere fearless, very curious about their new surroundings and all those dogs around them.

Stella thought the puppies were very interesting and was trying to play with them throught the fence, so she got to go in and say hi to the pups and let the pups say hi to her. All tails were wagging:)

And now, the moment has come:) Here are the puppies, stacked for the first time!

No group photo this time:) Hope you all like what you see. I’m thrilled with them!

3 weeks & 4 days

Finally, finally photos of the puppies!

It’s getting harder and harder to take photos of them alone, so these photos aren’t as good as I’d like them to be, but they are better than many:)

Here’s boy 1

That’s what I have for you today! Sorry it took so long.

Everything is very fine with the puppies, they are eating, playing & sleeping and cute as a button:)

Tiny update.

I apologize, I had big plans of taking photos today of the pups and posting and making a blog but I’m going to 2 shows this weekend, Germany tomorrow and Belgium on sunday with my poodle and I just didn’t have the time to do what I planned. Will make up for it tomorrow hopefully if I wont be to late at home, otherwise I’ll do it on sunday as the show is quite close to me.

The pups are doing great, had their first official meal yesterday, nails were clipped today for the 3rd time and all puppies behaved well. Tomorrow I will deworm them.

That will have to be enough for today, I’m sorry I don’t have anything more for the moment.

Have a great weekend everyone! Stay tuned for updates here!

2 weeks

Time flyes!! The puppies are already 2 weeks old!

They are starting to open their eyes now, Ira Jr is first to get both almost open, girl 2 has 1 almost open and the big boy is working on it while fawn girl and girl 1 are just keeping them shut and “enjoying their youth”.. or something:) I’m sure they’ll open up real soon:)

So as I said before it’s getting harder and harder to weigh them so I haven’t been doing it but will have a try at it tomorrow, it’s very hard with an electrical scale with numbers that just don’t stop as long as the puppies keep on moving in the “weighing basket” so I’m gonna try something else tomorrow.

I caught all the puppies in their mothers food yesterday! I had put it in the crate and was gonna feed her but had to jump up and take care of something for a minute or so.. when I came back this is what I saw:

I wasn’t quite sure what to do, it’ll be another week untill I feed the puppies solid food.. so just before I took the food away, I ran and got my camera and took photos. They were not happy when I took the food away.. Tingen was happy, and hungry but when the puppies were eating it, she sacrificed it.. she’s such a good mommy!

Here you see the puppies searching for the food after I took it away from them:

And what they had to settle with:

I’m still thrilled with the litter:) I’m so happy with all the puppies and think they all look great:) I even did a little stack on them after I took photos of each and everyone, just to see, I usually don’t stack them untill they’re 3 weeks old but since they are trying to eat solid food too early, I thought I’d just do a little stack and I was very happy with what I saw:)

I didn’t take stacked photos though.. we’re not quite there yet, maybe when they’re 3 weeks we’ll try to get some sort of a stack from them but now it’s just cute individual photos. I didn’t do any group shots now, sorry.

I do want to say that this is not the correct colour on the blue puppies, they are darker and more blue, not with this brown tone, and boy 2 is more silver blue, a shade lighter than his siblings (same as his father.. hence the “Ira Jr” name)

Here’s boy 1

Boy 2 (Ira Jr)

Girl 1

Girl 2, wannabe german sheperd;)

And the fawn girl

That’s all for now:) I’ll be watching the puppies very closely now since their eyes are opening and the camera will be ready so there will be some more photos as they open their eyes so stay tuned and keep on checking.

Photos

I thougt I’d post some photos of the puppies. They’re not new, we took them on saturday, I just haven’t had the time to resize them untill now so here they are:)

Here’s girl 1

2 photos of girl 2:

Not quite sure who those are as I can’t see their markings:) Probably the blue sisters though;

5 tired pups

Fawn girl almost stacking:)

Mom and pups

I hope you like the photos. I haven’t weighed the puppies, they are moving way too much so the scale just never stops on a number:) But they are all gaining weight normally, eating and drinking and getting more and more active with each day that comes:) Soon they’ll open their eyes and I for one can’t wait!

All the girls are reserved now, they will get great homes:) One of the boys might be going abroad so that leaves us with 1 available boy.. not sure wich one as no pup will have an owner untill they are older and I see how they look and what homes suits each pup the best:) But if anyone is interested in a boy, let me know:)

-And last but not least, many THANKS to my dear friends Silja and Dora who where here for a visit this past weekend picking up the BC puppy I was watching for helping me with these photos:) It did take 2.. and then me on the camera:)
