Puppy Videos

Got some videos of the puppies who are still here today.  In the next week they start going out the door again- we're going to miss them- they are so much fun.  Even if some are sure my jacket is a great chew toy.  :) The joys of puppies- they remind you to put your stuff away!

Play Time with Aunty Bella

Im not sure what animal Bella our poodle sounds like some days- the best I can get is it sounds awfully like Dory speaking whale. Anyway she quite loves the babies and has been their playmate from day one.  Being that she's still an overgrown puppy at 2 years old this works out quite well.  5 puppies 1 poodle seems to be a nice ratio she says right now. 

The barking is our old boy Bodi who is well fairly deaf and just jealous- he wants to play but REALLY doesn't actually want to play.  So his participation is barking in that ubber annoying way.  We love him anyway though :)

And then there were 5

Mako flew off to his new family in victoria yesterday. Cooper (puppy #2) goes to his family next weekend. Ryder (puppy #4) goes in may. Ruby (3) and pinky (5) are still looking for their families.

Playtime

Please ignore the dog nose print covered window.  If I go outside the puppies don't play with each other but instead swarm me for attention.  So cute outside shots when I'm home alone must be through windows.  Anyway how many toys outside of course the favorite is the destuffed monster toy that is flourescent pink monster :)

Crate Games

I'm a big believer in Crate Games (By Susan Garrett, check out her fabulous website I highly recommend her videos) and today the puppies started working the first three games.  The pups have all been eating their meals in crates now- but still spend most of their 'inside time' in the ex pen so they get the socialization time. 

Today in the crate games we did the first three games- reward for staying in the crate when the door opens, ability to leave the door open move out of the way etc and have the pup remaining in the crate and then a few worked on the 'your in your out' game.  they really think those crates are cool now- crates= cookies!

Here's a couple clips of Mako and Ruby working on the second game.

8 Weeks old

8 weeks old.  Where did the time fly? Over the next two weeks these guys will start leaving our home and making their way to their new home.

We want to Caitland Aussies on Thursday to have Cathy take photos of the pups.

Puppy #6 George will be going to Victoria

Puppy #4 is staying with us for now

Puppy #1 Hush is staying here with us

Puppy #3 Vivi is going to a Show home

 locally

Puppy #5 Pinky is looking for a performance home. She'd love to be a agility or disc dog! She is the smallest of the litter and has a lot of get up and go.

Puppy #2 Chub.  He's looking for a home who will do anything with him.  This guy is laid back boy who's got some get up and go when you want to.  He's pretty easy pup who loves being around his people. He'd be a great Junior handling dog as well!

Red (Puppy #7) is available.  She's a sweet loveable dog who really likes spending time with people.  A total cuddle bug she'd is a nice show dog prospect or performance dog!
