Litters
Litter 2
On 17th/18th November 2010 Zoot gave birth to her second litter of 6 pups, 2 boys and 4 girls.
They are growing healthily and are settling into the, eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping,routine well.
Here is a small taster of Zoot and Pups.
Zoot and her 2nd Litter of 2 Boys + 4 Girls
In the picture below the puppies are 4 weeks old and thriving. At this point they weigh about 3 kg stage and seem huge! They feed on puppy food as well as Zoot's milk. They have their eyes open and are actively playing in the pen with each other. When we call "puppies" they all come staggering (if not running) with their tails wagging. They are bundles of fluff!
Pups and Kids
The puppies are now almost 8 weeks old and are ready to go to their new homes for life from the 15/16th January 2011. If you are interested in a puppy please contact us. Telephone 01748 886767 or Email us.
Litter 1
All the pups have done really well in the last 7 weeks, all are healthy and growing well.
On Friday they had their first set of innoculations, were micro-chipped and given a check up by our vet. he was really pleased with them and mum.
Over the following weekend they have started to be collected up by their new owners. Four have gone already and another goes tomorrow. Waving goodbye is surprisingly difficult for all of us and the house seems emptier, but it is slowly getting back to some sort of normality.
The remaining pups are very playful and we can give them a lot more individual attention, which is proving destructive to my jumpers!
They are all getting very good at using the newspaper we put down and early reports from their new homes suggest that it is not a fluke as they are continuing to use the paper - so house training may be relatively quick.
As we have only the one dog of breeding age we are not planning to breed again for at least another year. We will, however, keep updating the website with photos of the pups in their new homes as a record of them growing up.
Zoot has proved to be a wonderful caring mum, here she is shortly after whelping, a tired but proud mum with her 11 puppies and a few weeks later patiently feeding all 11 again - we are sure there are only 11 but it is impossible to count them!
