The "D" Litter has arrived!

D Litter -- Eight Puppies born November 6, 2024

We've delivered eight healthy pups, three boys and five girls.  The boys' ribbons are yellow, light blue, and white.  Girls' are red, pink, orange, green, and purple.

​

​

We will be adding photos often, so check in to see the pups!  In two weeks their eyes will open.  After that, they will start showing their personalities more.

The pups are 2 weeks old!

We have opened our eyes!  Hello world!  Here we come!  The ones you don't see here -- Miss Red, Miss Pink, Mr. White, and Mr. Blue -- spend a lot of time sleeping.  As a policy, we just let our sleeping dogs lie -- they have so much growing to do yet!

The pups at
5 weeks

At 5 weeks, we are getting dog food, colostrum, and goat milk twice a day, and still nursing on Mom.  We are learning to use our bodies and delight in pouncing, sniffing, and playing with a leaf or with each other.  We have also learned to drink water from a bowl, but still excel at stepping into the bowl, sometimes with all four feet.

The pups are 7 weeks on Christmas Day!

The three pups at 8 weeks

The three remaining pups are getting along well.  Pretty much, we are keeping them on the back lanai, where they chase each other, play keep away, and eat voraciously.  And nap, lots and lots of naps.  They are growing fast, gaining competencies, and have begun a little puppy training.  They love being with their parents and spend a lot of time following them.

Our girls are growing up -- and their ears are starting to look like German Shepherd ears.  Miss Green, left, is leading the way, as you can see.  The pups are so earnest but also smart.  They love getting a little training every day.  So far, they understand sit, down,  seek, and ready (look into handler's eyes).

At 12 weeks, the pups have just received their second round of shots.  They are very competent and love "puppy school,"

and now we have begun leash training a bit (and they hate it, fighting like wild mustangs!)  Stay tuned!

The pups at 18 weeks

At 18 weeks, the pups continue to follow their parents in the yard, have begun playing "catch a bird," love furiously pawing the water bowl to spill it everywhere, and moving shoes and socks from inside to outside.  On the plus side they don't have accidents in the house anymore, love their training, and come looking for attention.  They weigh 40 pounds now.  As their adult teeth are coming in, their ears are up one day and down the next.  We are enjoying the daily transformations a lot.  Usually Green wins in the "ears up" department, but today Red is the clear winner.

And then there was one...

March 18, 2025 -- Miss Green is now officially the last remaining D litter puppy.  She's taking this change well, she has her parents all to herself.  With no other pup to play with, we'll see how it goes over the next few days.  Luckily, this is spring break so our grandson pops over a lot and she can play with him and his friends.  

​

On March 19, 2025 Green went off with her new family.

They ae getting a sweet little girl who wants to please.  She also has a very strong bark, and they need a little help keeping the home area secure.
