Emmoge Papillons

There is truly nothing holding these two back now.

The little girl finally has a name - Vivienne (which is the French spelling and means Alive, a fitting nod to her conception)

She is now 400g 😬 Totally a fatty!!!

Let me preface this - this video is 5 years old. It is however very poignant to me as this is baby Annie just after her eyes opened and she herself now has two 5 day old babies. Gosh, I love the memories and well, of course, the puppies!!!!

Good night from the fattest little belly in town!!

So to everyone this might just look like a tiny blob on a screen, but to us? This is exciting. This was the ultrasound taken at 4 weeks post arrival insemination. It’s amazing that this blob turned into a puppy 5 weeks later ❤️

The babies are thriving, all gaining weight and Annie is just the best mum. If there’s one thing I can’t resist it’s tiny puppy paws!

Annie at her 4 week ultrasound! I think the look on her face says it all 🥰

CONGRATULATIONS 🎉

We had the absolute pleasure of confirming a positive pregnancy for gorgeous Annie the Papillon — the result of a frozen semen TCI here at VRC! 🥰

Beyond simply confirming pregnancy, Dr Jasmin also provides an early indication of litter size and assesses foetal growth, foetal heart rates, and overall uterine health. This gives us valuable insight every step of the way, so we can act quickly if intervention is ever needed 💉

🎥 We perform reproductive tract ultrasounds here at VRC for both males and females, helping us build a full picture of reproductive health at any stage of the breeding journey.

So I have been keeping a big, big, big secret. I have so wanted to share the journey on how we got here with you all but superstitious me didn’t want to jinx anything or have something go wrong.

Modern science is so cool and yesterday we welcomed two little souls to Emmoge. We’ve been planning this for the last 12 months.

These babies are testament to how far science has come in breeding dogs. We used some frozen semen from my beloved Hugo who passed away 2 years ago (and was collected almost 20 years ago) and were blessed with a boy and a girl.

Here’s the boy - Stanley, having a feast within the first 20 minutes of being born.

These babies are not available and will both be staying with us but I do hope you’ll enjoy the journey of them growing up.

The best time of day for these two is their mid-morning greenie!!

So when I say that our puppies are exposed to livestock, I don’t just mean they can hear sheep and cattle from a distance….I truly mean that they are able to get close to the sheep and cattle.

Russell wasn’t sure but 14 year old Bobbi the border collie cross is always there to provide support!

I am a firm believer that every puppy needs their own cat right. Leroy and Avocado used to play and play and play. These days, they both enjoy the heated blanket over wrestling.
