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.

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.

Week 9 update – Puppies are still available

As I write this, it is bitter sweet, we have 5 puppies that have gone to their forever homes. We now have 4 puppies that are still looking for homes. All the puppies have completed their allergy testing for foods and no allergies were detected. They are now eating meals that comprise raw for some meals and commercial dog food for others so they are ready for any meal plans. We prefer a raw diet or at least supplementing with raw do to the beneficial effects of raw in a poodles diet.

If you are still looking or know someone that would love a fantastic standard puppy, send them to our website. We are also on AKC Marketplace. Here is a video we shot this weekend of the puppies playing outside.

Week 7 Update – The maturing of the puppies continues

The quest to mature their palettes proceeds, they now have been introduced to all proteins (except pork), all grains (except corn), and the following fruits and vegetables – carrots, peas, green beans and apples. We have also introduced them to a variety of kibble and a select few ground dog foods. Our effort is to ensure your puppy has been exposed and is used to a wide variety of foods so when they come home to their forever home, they will not be a picky eater!

They are starting to get a chance to roam around a larger area of the house and they have been getting the opportunity to go outside multiple times a day (when the weather is nice!

The effort now is on trimming faces and feet as they have a date with a conformation specialist to see who is our conformation dogs! These are the dogs that breeders will take into the ring to compete in AKC events. If they are not taken by a breeder then these special pups will be available as pets.

One final note, we no longer have any females available but all our available boys are perfect little gentlemen and would love to go home with you!
