Puppies

We have new puppies! Week one is in progress

by

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

Week 6 Update of the Puppy Progress

by

Sorry I missed week 5, lots of things were happening and I couldn’t get to the computer to write a post.

The transition to real food is complete, they have eaten all of the raw meats we feed (chicken, lamb, beef, turkey), starches, dairies and grains (rice, oatmeal, potatoes, egg, yogurt) as well as vegetables (carrots and peas). They are also getting some different puppy kibble mixed in.

They have received their second worming dose and their weight gain is tracking nicely, they are all over 5 pounds now.

they play hard and sleep harder, they will start going outside this week now that the weather has started to warm up a bit into the 60’s. We will see how long that will last but with their coat, they are good to go in cooler temps!

The puppies have a playmate, our kitten Betty Boop has decided she is a puppy and spends her time with them, look in the box and you will see her.

We received our new puppy for ourselves! She is a silver from Clifton Standards and she will be going for conformation early next year.
