Shay’s Puppies 3 Days Old

Gosh, time is flying by! The puppies will be 3 days old in just a few hours. All is going well. The pups had their dew claws removed yesterday. All are nursing and gaining weight. Shay is handling everything like an old pro. We attached the litter id collars today. With such a litter size [...]

Shay & Brier’s Litter has Arrived!

Every thing always works out the way it should, did you ever really notice that? I had a nice little hunt scheduled for Wednesday at the preserve for my dad–as his birthday gift. On Tuesday evening, the forecast was lots of rain for Tuesday night and Wednesday, so I rescheduled our hunt for next week. [...]

Shay’s Litter… Just One Week To Go

Shay’s litter is due in about one more week. By March 31st, her puppies should be here! Day 63 is actually March 28th, but you know how that goes… She gets bigger everyday, I think. She seems quite well, eating great, and just an all-around happy girl. We will begin taking her temperature now and [...]

Puppies Are 7 Weeks Old!

We will begin to switch her food over to the puppy food for extra goodies to prepare her for delivery and nursing. She is doing very well and just loves being [...]

  Only 35 days of life for these little squibbers and they are smart! It is amazing to me how much a pup knows at this age. They are at a critical learning stage and take in new experiences every day. We try to spend as much time with them as possible and introduce new [...]

Puppies are 4 Weeks Old

Hello All! We just can’t believe the pups are one month old, already. The time has flown by and I am suddenly struck with the thought that in just 3-4 more weeks, the puppies will be leaving us, which is exciting and sad at the same time. But, that’s the way it goes and we [...]
