Puppies are all doing well. They’re getting very familiar with the sheep, as you can see in one or two of these videos. Unfortunately, our air quality is still pretty awful.We’ll be doing individual photos over the weekend when I have a helper to hold puppies. If I haven’t scheduled a phone call with you yet, I’ll be contacting you soon. For now enjoy these stills and videos, all but the first one is from this morning. The other is from last week when the skies cleared for a bit.
Dad trying to figure out if he should break up that wrestling match….Sin found a feather…Moonlight using her sister to get a boost…Harley getting kisses from DiehardSin and DiehardMercury and I think Boy ScoutSixArmageddon Fifth Element trying to steal a drink.Diehard was the first to wander away from the group to go exploring….Bella and Yamir are on pig duty on the other side of the fence.Puppies rough housing and stalking DixieBoy Scout just taking a stroll….Puppies taking advantage of this ewes good nature. She’s one of our older girls and gives very gentle warnings, but I decided they were pushing their luck.
The Willis’s are 5 weeks old, and as you can see….not wanting for groceries! They’re living outside full time and will start going out to the pasture with mom now that the smoke seems to be clearing. The weather and smoke from the fires has been pretty rough on everyone; I’m just thrilled to have WiFi back, and clear skies! I will be scheduling phone calls during week 6 to discuss various puppies and transport plans, and answer any other questions. Here are individual photos, and a couple of videos taken yesterday and this morning. You may notice little Blind Date is missing from the individual photos…..because she is so much smaller than her siblings, for the moment I am holding her back. She is healthy and doing everything she should be doing, but she does tend to get pushed off food and knocked around a lot by her much larger siblings. Although she’s a tough little thing I just don’t think it’s in her best interests to keep her outside 24/7 like the rest, and until I get a vet clearance that she’s as okay as she appears, I’m just taking a watch and wait approach with her. I hope you enjoy the photos and videos!
By popular vote, Faith and Tomas’ litter, who is 2 weeks old today, has been named after Bruce Willis movies. Here are their first individual photos, enjoy!
Just be warned, for some reasons, the questions were edited out so it sounds a little like I’m just arbitrarily jumping fromThanks so much to Sean and Bulldog Social Club for taking an interest in the breed.
The Stars are now 6 weeks old and have graduated from their puppy pen. They are now spending their days with mom, some of the other pack members and the sheep. This is a very important learning experience for them, as they learn to live in a larger space, and to interact with other pack members and of course, the livestock. I really believe these weeks spent with other pack members, livestock, poultry, and children on a regular basis is why our puppies are so confident and ready to learn when they arrive at their new homes. Because they’re way too young to spend nights out, of course they do still go back to their pen in the evening at feeding time. Here are some still photos and videos along with their 6 week individual photos, enjoy!
Everyone is growing, developing their own little personalities, and exploring the world. Mama Bella is not all that thrilled that her kids are now able to leave their shelter and wander around on their own. She typically starts shooing puppies back inside as soon as the sun starts to set. Here are individual photos, and a video….enjoy!
Introducing Hoof and Fangs Stars! They’re all healthy, chubby, and have a lot to say at feeding time. Like so many areas, we are experiencing ridiculous weather swings, high winds, and power and internet outages, so I am a bit late in posting. This litter is all reserved, but I am taking applications for summer litters. Enjoy the photos, and video!
A little late in posting but our weather here has been crazy, so no Wifi! Bella delivered 11 healthy puppies on Feb. 11. All but two are male, no puppies available. Cabo, the only OFA rated excellent male Spanish Mastiff in the US and Bella’s hip certificates, DNA panels, and other health testing can be seen in their albums if you are in my Working Spanish Mastiffs with X Rays and Other Health Testing FB group, or I can provide them on request. Puppies are UKC registered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, wormed, receive ENS, leash training is started as is crate training for puppies who will be shipped. All our puppies are exposed to our sheep, goats, Kune Kune pigs, turkeys and chickens, as well as to cats, small dogs and children, and of course I am always available for a phone call, text or email if you have any questions.
