Hey everyone! Yesterday marked the one week milestone and we were reminded about the complete lack of sleep when you have newborns in the house! We take shifts 24/7 for the first three weeks. The puppies are never left alone and their Mama has our complete attention. This is an important piece of our program because this not only saves puppy lives but also alerts us to any changes happening that we need to be aware of. We whelped this litter in our dining area which has been nice so we can cook for Mama Calliope without leaving the pups unattended but also raid the fridge for ourselves easily (hello running shoes – I’ve been missing you but I’ll need to see you again soon).

This litter is absolutely precious. We have a 50/50 split of females and males and everyone is doing well including Mama. Their Daddy takes peeks thru the gate and lays there most of his days just so everyone realizes he’s not a slacker.

Week one is mostly sleeping and eating puppies. Each day they grow stronger and move around a bit easier (and quicker). They amaze us every moment on how they are able to sense things even without their ears or eyesight quite yet. I love seeing the pigment in their noses adjust each day as well as gradual changes in their coats and coloring as they age. The coloring in this litter is beautiful!

These babies will be changing and growing so quickly in each coming day and we hope you’ll join us on following their sweet journey. If you have questions please reach out! Even if we are not the right fit for you I’m always happy to answer questions or lead you in the right direction in your puppy search!
