Hard to believe that another month has gone by. I was so busy, kept 7 extra dogs during that period of time. Not all at once but as some went home more came in. Then my dogs came down with a digestive bug and we had a week of diarrhea. So was busy treating all the dogs that did get the bug. It was the older ones and the young ones, the middle age dogs did not get it. Took a little over a week to get it all clear. Then I decided to try to find a female that has totally different lines than what I have been working with. It is good to bring in new lines because after a while you have no one to breed without being too close. I found a lovely little sable female with all Apple Acres lines and she is perfect to bring into my lines. She is as sweet as can be but another pup to house train. She is catching on very quickly and the weather definitely helps. I had two litter mates to house train this past winter and I see why I always tell people not to get two pups of the same age. It is really difficult. Quinn was supposed to have puppies again in June but another miss. We will try again in December and possibly Skye also. She will be two years old and she seems to love the new puppy so she may be a very good mother. They will be winter litters for me but spring pups for the new families. A good time to house train. So all should work out this time. I will probably use my own stud dog which often makes a huge difference. I am ready for a litter, I really miss not having pups this year. I so enjoy watching them develop and become pups.It is amazing how they change and grow so fast. By eight weeks their little brains just soak up all the training you want to give them and when they learn so early it lasts a lifetime.
Be Safe and stay Cool!
