Puppy Video

Here is a short video of the pups scooting around today. They are pretty content laying around and sleeping, but if they are looking for mom or trying to find their brothers and sisters they move pretty good!

Puppies



It seems like they've already tripled in size since they were born on tuesday. They are all growing great and Belle is doing a great job of taking care of them. My younger female (Remi) also likes to take her turns taking care of the pups. I haven't let her in with them too much yet, but last year when they were a couple weeks old she mothered them like they were her own. I'll wait until they get a little bigger for that, but she would huddle them up just like Belle does, clean them up, and look after them just like a big sister does!! They are starting to scoot around a little bit more now, but they still like laying in a pile and sleeping most of all. I shot a short video of a couple of them moving around a little bit so hopefully you enjoy that.

2 Days Old




The pups and Belle are doing well. They are off to a great start and Belle does such a great job of taking care of them!!! She sure has made my job pretty easy over the years! Never had a single pup in poor health and her ratio of females to males makes finding new homes pretty easy!! The pups have had plenty of attention these first few days. Between my own children, nieces and nephews, and the rest of my family they are sure to be accustomed to lots of little faces by the time they go home! I am very happy with this litter once again, and I can't wait until they get a little older and start showing their personalities!

The Pups have arrived!!

After days, weeks, months, and even years of waiting for some of you the pups have finally arrived!! Some of you have been looking at this breeding for the last 2.5 years! No matter what the circumstance all of you are I'm sure are excited to see your newest members of the family! Belle was starting to labor last night before bed so I set my alarm for 3:00 a.m. and much to my suprise their were already four on the ground. Belle gave birth to a healthy litter of 8 pups 6 females and 2 males and its hard to imagine that in only 7-8 weeks they will be all grown up and ready for their new homes!! (Wisconsin, North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana, and Texas) The time will go quickly but hopefully I can ease the waiting by posting on here regularly! Thanks to all of you have committed to this litter, and I have once again found the right homes for the pups!!
