Well on the 9th August all the pups will be one year old. Where has this year gone? We have heard from most of the owners in the last year, mostly good news and some sad where personal issues have meant some tough decisions. Hopefully all has been sorted.
Both Oreo and Daisy have had a good year since teh pups were born and we kept one son, Peanut. He was the one with the damaged tail end where Daisy nibbled through the umbilical and caught his tail. He's a great dog, full of beans.
Oreo was neutered in January so he has done his bit and soon after we had Daisy spayed, so we kept to our word and wished for only the one litter. It was a hard decision as we all enjoyed the experience but we thought Daisy had done enough with 12 pups.
We must get some new photos up and wish you all to send them in so we can post them up on here for all to see.

This is Chloe posting, the daughter :) it's been a sad day for us today, we have had quite a few tears. 3 of the 12 pups have gone to their loving new homes today which were Alfie, Domino and Dave. The pen is abit quieter without them and we can really notice the difference! Especially the poop! 6 pups are going tomorrow which i'm sure will bring more tears - best bring out the kleenex! The other remaining 2 will be going to their new homes on tuesday. The house will definately feel empty but... Continue reading...

All pups have had their first vaccination and checked over by the vet, all are fit and well with all the boys 'complete'! The vet's practice was all over the pups, they loved them! Had enough fun getting them there and into the practice! Also I'd like to mention about the puppy food for those that are reading this. We were feeding them on Butcher's puppy food mixed with Beaphars lactol milk. For a while we were having real issues with loose poo's, so we tried them on something different to see...

Well the time is flying now, the pups are now over 6 weeks old and not long for them to leave for their new homes. Their meat intake has increased a little and they seem to be enjoying it. Just as well as the lactol is getting in short supplies across our area! This weekend coming is our last one with them all together, so it'll be a good one. The following Friday and Saturday will see the majority leave for pastures new, some fairly local and a few scattered across the southern region, from ... Continue reading...

Well yesterday, the 13th September saw the pups at 5 weeks old and a nice 80 mile round trip to have their BAER hearing tests carried out. Not a nice trip as we had to get their early in order to feed them all before our appointment, this was to make them a little docile for the tests. It went better than expected and out of the 12 pups we only had two with failed hearing in one ear, the rest were fine. After discussing this with Kate, the vet at Seadown, she said the two which had uni-latera... Continue reading...

Well they are getting 'fatter'! Weight is going on nicely and they are getting a lovely shape to them. Daisy has been weaned off now and so all on substitute milk and puppy food which they are lapping up well. We are seeing some right personalities coming through, feisty ones as well! Some play fighting going on and chewing of ears and whatever else they can grab a nold of! They are sleeping through the night now, no dramas which is pleasing. As it stands we have two boys left pending viewing... Continue reading...

Well overdue! It's been a busy time looking after the pups, taking it in turns to sleep on the sofa! Daisy has been on double rations so inevitable toilet breaks in the early hours etc! Well the pups are growing well and getting the own personalities. They are also developing their teeth! Daisy is weaning so we are doing our bit in giving them puppy milk and some puppy food. The first time on puppy food was somewhat interesting! Milk mixed with puppy food and all twelve having a free for all!... Continue reading...

Spots are really starting to show on some. Some of the pups are trying to walk a little as well. A couple of them have started to open their eyes as well, they look so cute! Weight gain is good and we are seeing who the chubby ones might be and the runt as well. The interest is very good with a few on a reserve list now, so alot will depend on who sticks to their guns and says a girl only, or will they fold? I'll be contacting the first few on the list soon so we can book a viewing time so al... Continue reading...

Not alot to say apart from the weight gain is going very well. Spots are showing well on some more than others. Could be a few heartbreakers in there! The waiting list has gone mad and we are now in the reserve stage, so we do know the girls will find a home pretty quickly as we have more suitors than girls available, shame as we cannot please you all! However the hard bit is telling people further down the list if they have a chance of a boy. Not easy when some prefer a girl due to other... Continue reading...

All doing very well. Pups are gaining weight nicely now with only the runt to watch but he's doing well. If anything the wife is falling for the runt, seeing that our Oreo was the runt in his litter she has a liking for them! Daisy is back to her old self, always hungry and enjoying her marmite on toast and weetabix with goats milk for brekkie! She's having her daily calcium supplement every feedtime. Getting a few more calls and emails regarding interested parties. It is now getting close to... Continue reading...
