What are the puppies doing now?

It has been a busy few weeks! The puppies are now fully acclimated to all types of food as well as going outside. We have had them running around the yard, we have been teaching them to swim and they have learned to go up and down stairs.

They all swim very well, a few pull their paws too high out of the water, but all are able to find the stairs and get themselves out of the pool. They love to run as a pack and come when called. The girls are definitely the alphas in the pack, they are so outgoing and energetic. The pups love to play keep away from each other and wrestle over specific toys.

below you will see a picture of our green banded boy, he is so tired after a hard day playing that he fell asleep on his lobster stuffie.

Enough for now, we still have 4 boys and one show quality female if you are interested.

Puppies at week 6 – food, and social behavior update

Wow, the time has been flying with this litter and I’m behind in my updates!

First off, They are fully weaned off their mother and have tried ALL sorts of foods at this point; lamb, pollock, beef, chicken, rice, potatoes, oatmeal, dairy like eggs and cheeses. They love all of them, especially since the meats are raw, they have tried kibble too and seem to love all of it! No allergic reactions to any foods, they are growing fast and are super active.

We have updated the puppy page with new pictures, I think we are missing 1 or 2 and will get those up as son as possible. We have started trimming feet, faces and fannies so expect those pictures soon. As in the video below, you can see the kitten loves playing with the pups or at least being mauled by them, not sure which.

Next up, after vaccination, they start to go outside and even learn to swim!

We have 5 pups still available if you are interested, we include full genetic testing, vaccines at 7 weeks (just today as a matter of fact) and a full guarantee on our puppies.

We have new puppies! Week one is in progress

Our new litter was born on 4/28/2023 and Artemis Juliet has 8 beautiful puppies! there are 6 boys and 2 girls in the litter with 4 black males and 2 white males and 2 white females. All puppies and the mother are doing great! Juliet’s milk came in quickly and we needed to do very little supplemental feeding. Most of the puppies had no weight loss in the first day while the larger puppies had a little weight loss on day two but by day three all puppies were on a good, positive growth curve!

We record their progress every day from day one and we assign them colored bands to track them during their growth period. This allows us to refer to them in these posts and you will be able to track them too against the pictures we will post.

They are eating every 2-3 hours and are crawling all over the place, they are not coordinated enough to walk yet but that should start to happen in the next few days.

I will post more in the next few days, if you are interested in an addition for your home or breeding program, please send us a mail at lori@legacypoodles.com

Quiet Winter for New Puppies but our Growing Puppies are doing Great!

As we spring into warmer weather, Artemis should be going into heat later this spring/summer. We have our 2 new puppies (Athena and Zeus) who are getting up there in age but won’t be bred until 2023. They are 8 and 7 months respectfully.

Zeus is scheduled to go to our handler at the beginning of May and we are making arrangements for Athena to follow him with the next month or 2.

Here is Zeus playing with his sister Persephone and attacking air, enjoy!

One Puppy Still Available

We have one beautiful black puppy available, a male. He has been evaluated as a conformation quality puppy. His stance, personality and disposition are excellent. He is a playful, lovable little boy and would love to go home with you.

He still has a brother and sister he plays with and he is almost completely trained to the outside. He has received his 8 and 12 week shots and has no genetic defects. Please consider this beautiful little boy for your next family member.
