Puppies at 4 Weeks!

Our little darlings are so much fun and getting bigger by the day. Here they are, now 1 month old.  We have 1 Male and 1 Female available to go to loving homes in 4 more weeks. Puppies will be able to be seen February 9. Please contact us if you would like to see them in person.

Moved to the Mansion

Now that our little ones are getting more adventurous and nearly climbing out of the whelping box, we moved them into the weaning box. It gives them much more room to roam and play safely, and more time for us to get a puppy fix!

Play Time

The puppies are now 3 weeks old and are beginning to play with each other.  They nip at each other's ears, backs, noses, and tails and sometimes bark and howl at each other. Here is a little glimpse into their world.

Puppies are 2 Weeks Old

The puppies are cruising around now that their eyes are open. Compared to last week's pictures, it looks like they've doubled in size! All are doing very well.  They sleep most of the day since their little bodies are growing so quickly.  In just a few weeks, they will be playing around with each other.  We have 1 male puppy available to be placed in a loving home (which male is to be determined).  Please contact us soon if you are interested!

First Puppy Steps

Now that the puppies are 2 weeks old and can see, they quickly learned to get up and take their first steps.  We find them quite entertaining!

Early Socialization with the Puppies

Our youngest got to hold Snickers on her lap for the first time tonight. We have 4 children, who love the dogs immensely, so by the time the puppies leave our home, they are very familiar with kids.

Morning Huddle

I woke up today to find these three snuggling together

Puppies Are 1 Week Old

Our little canine crew is growing like weeds!  With plenty of mom's milk to drink, they are getting pretty plump.  Their eyes are just starting to open, and they are scooting around easily.  Here are their week-old pictures:

Just Hangin' with Mom

A Mother's Work is Never Done

Feeding, cleaning, feeding, cleaning...it never ends for this mom, but she's very attentive to the needs of her pups.

They took their first car ride to Telstar Boxers yesterday, where Jennifer Tellier cropped their tails and removed their dewclaws.  They did great!

Maddie and Her Puppies

We started our morning off saying our goodbyes to Milky Way.  Even though she was only a day old, it was a heart-wrenching experience for us and the kids.  That's one of the difficult calls you have to make as a breeder.

On a lighter note, the puppies and getting plump!  In the below video, you can see them in day-old puppy action with mom.  They squeak, squeal, and twitch while they dream away after some warm milk in their bellies (that's Snickers on top of everyone else eating).  Maddie's big sigh towards the end indicates all is well.

Introducing Our "Sweet" Little Puppies

Maddie continues to be a great mom to these puppies. Unfortunately, Milky Way, the white female, has a medical problem and is not expected to live, and that breaks our hearts.  For that reason, you will not see her picture here.  But the others are already thriving.  Check back for weekly photos of their growth!

Happy New Year and 4--No, Make That 5 (Surprise!) Happy New Puppies

Maddie had an easy and quick delivery of her 5 puppies beginning at 5 a.m. today.  Final score: 3 girls, 2 boys.  There was a little guy hiding in that x-ray that was not seen! She is a great mom!  Check back for more pictures later today.
