A number of you have asked me if the pups would like water and I think they will because they have no issues at all about going out to play in the showers! I knew they would have to burn off some of their energy before I could take pics, so if you see a bit of dampness on the pups, you know why. :+)
Lots of visitors all week for both litters and I am so thankful that they have been getting lots of socialization between all the families that are making the trip up to play and meet them. I know it is a risk every single time as breeders SHOULD be concerned about exposure to Parvo and all the other potentially risky issues that having visitors brings, but I feel exposure to so many different types of people/children is critical for their social development. I pray, I don't regret my open door policy!
October is here and it will be a very busy month for pup appointments as we prepare for Tate's litter to go home; welcome visitors for Figgy's litter and welcoming a new litter with the arrival of Camden soon. The schedule here at ADNE continues to be busy but don't let that stop your from 'coming on down'!

Great pictures and I love all their names! Such a handsome bunch!
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are! Tomorrow they go for their first shots - just Parvo and Distemper. Should be a good ride for them.
ReplyDeleteThey had two visitors today and more tomorrow - a very socialized bunch!! Unfortunately, this stage is all about jumping and biting! They do come around but lots of patience at this point.
