Puppies

Well another week gone by and they are the ripe of age of 4wks. having got used to a little eating they will now be after more.The top teeth came though without a hitch and the bottom are nearly there. We also had the weekly weigh in and the biggest as reached the grand weight of 4lb.8ozs.We changed the whelping bed for a cage and it gives them more room to play in the area now they are coming up it. They also do a little woof noise which makes each other jump. Big auntie is playing and trying t… Continue

Hi Sandra,
Hope you are all settled back into your routine without the puppies. I'm sure it's very quiet now and your other dogs must be missing them too.

She was a very nervous to start with but was ok towards the end. She was showing herself off!! Hates the down position though!! Setters are always too busy for the 'down' don't you think.

Hi Sandra
How many puppies have gone now? My last puppy went yesterday. So I can concentrate on the one that's staying. Taking her to a puppy class tonight, there aren't any ringcraft classes until September though.

Hi Sandra,
It's a shame it's already time for them to go but I'm sure all the new owners are really looking forward to welcoming them into their homes. Hope they're all going to do well and that you won't lose touch with them.

I have left myself the option of keeping a girl.
Has to be a stunner though!!
As I kept 3 from my last litter and they are only 7 months old.
It's the time needed to put into another puppy at this stage!!
My 3 keep me pretty much on my toes.
Will make the choice at 8 weeks to keep one or not.

Hi Sandra,
A lot of my puppies go interstate.So only get to see them if I travel.
I catch up with most that are in Victoria.
We have a couple of fun days each year and I invite all my owners to come along.As you know trying to get everyone in the same place at the same time is difficult.
I do keep in contact via email or phone though.
I am looking after one of my girls I bred for 7 weeks while her Mum and Dad are overseas.(She is 9 years old) I try to keep in contact with as many as possible.

Hi Sandra,
Sorry don't seem to have time to get online at the moment.??
Pups are all doing fantastic. Can't say the same for myself!!
I am exausted!! They are up and about at 5 am every morning wanting brekky.They were 4 weeks on Saturday.Very even litter and looking very nice .The girls are all spoken for and 3 of the boys.So 4 boys to go.
Everyone seems to want girls at the moment!!
Are all your puppies spoken for??
Had worming and toe nail trimming and filing yesterday,a lot of little toenails in there.
They are racing around my legs and feet as I sit here typing.
It has been freezing cold here.We had snow last Monday that settled on the ground!! Have had to have heating on 24 hours a day for the past 4 weeks to keep my babies warm yesterday was the first time I was able to turn it off for a few hours.
It is going to be difficult to get the pups out into the fresh air with the cold winds we are having.
Clean up time so will get moving.
Warm regards Marie
