Puppies Are Coming!

Artemis getting ready to show!

The first four weeks of pregnancy are so important. The girls get regular exercise to keep their muscles strong and flexible, they get special pregnancy vitamins and they get a wholesome, well rounded kibble. Currently they are on Purina Pro Plan which has never let us down!

Sunshine’s sire is Rio. His registered name is Heartland’s Carnival. Rio has already produced many healthy pups, severalthat have become AKC champions.

This will be Sunshine’s second litter. Sunshine is a very sweet girl who loved the show ring. She is an AKC Grand Champion….all owner-handled by me!  She gets along well with my other dogs and is well-behaved on her walks! LOL

This will be Artemis’s first litter. She is also very sweet and enjoyed the show ring but loves playing with her roommates better! She was born in Canada and is an Canadian Grand Champion!!

Puppies are due the first week of May. Stay tuned to this channel for further updates!

Sienna’s puppies are really into their new food!

 

 

And “nailing it” with potty training at just 3 1/2 weeks!

 

 

One Week Old and Twice as Big!

The beginning of socialization! My daughter in law getting her first wiff of puppy breath and giving Sienna some loving!

 

Our puppies turned 1 (week) today! They are doing great…even the little one! Everyone has at least doubled their weight which is a good sign.

The first three weeks are always the clinchers. I

don’t want to let Sienna outside because we have tons of deer in our neighborhood. They are beautiful but also disease carriers. While the pups do benefit from Mom’s antibodies in the colostrum and in her milk, I am nervous.

Here are some recent photos!

Grandson Ben loves to hold puppies! This is the same young man featured on the “cover” of this website….10 years ago! He is holding our littlest one, Luxio.

They try to sleep in clumps!

You can’t see them all, but the other 5 are nestled under the whelping pen’s pig rail. A pig rail prevents mom from accidentally crushing one of her babies.

Sienna getting some quality on my bed with Luxio. My way of making sure this pup gets all the milk he needs. Special times.

Sienna, me and Luxio. (I am terrible at selfies!)
