1 week old - 1st day of official guide dogs for the blind early socialisation program 🐾🐾

We've been using the guide dogs for the blind early socialisation program for around the last 2 years and I think its brilliant. On top of ENS - early neurological stimulation and ESS - early scent stimulation - I think this is a fantastic grounding for puppies for the first 8 weeks of life. I'm noticing a real difference with the puppies I'm keeping - they definitely have better stress resilience than my dogs used to have on the past. One of passions as a breeder is giving my puppies the best possible start to life I can possibly give them 💛💛💛💚

1 week old today! Not much sleep for me but they are such a happy, contented, chubby🤣 litter - they've all doubled their birthweight by 1 week old and are doing great - Primrose is definitely a super mum! 💛💛💛💚

Primrose's puppies have arrived but what a traumatic time she gave me! Very slow delivery in the middle of the night and then a very traumatic trip to the vets (my vet is nearly an hour away) in the back of a van with Primrose and 4 babies!
However, Primrose is a fantastic mum (I knew she would be!) and the babies are lovely, chunky, healthy puppies.
Meet the girl's Dandelion, Buttercup and Marigold
and the boy Nettle! 💛💛💛💚

So proud of my trick training demonstration dream team - Danny and Izzy 🖤🩶

Izzy had her first go at demoing yesterday and she aced it! Demoed cross your paws and paw target and then Danny took over to demo aeroplane, reverse, reverse around your legs, jump on cue.

LOVE my trick training classes!

Let's see who is the closest!

Day 60 - 3 days to go and we're living on a diet of fishfinger and hotdogs! I suppose you're allowed to be fussy when you've got all those puppies inside! 🧡

5 days to go - day 58 - playing the waiting game!

For those that don't know, her temperature will drop by between 0.5 and 1°C approximately 24 hours before whelping as the progesterone rapidly drops to prepare her for whelping. It's a very useful indicator to get everything ready and not leave her!

I've been taking her temperature once a day, from today it will be twice a day and then from Wednesday three times a day. The temperature only drops for around 6 - 12 hours and then goes back to normal. We've established a baseline - now we watch carefully. I've put Anna's chart in the comments so you can see the drop - she whelped on day 62.

What happens when you don't think about camera placement when you're filming your stop! Well done Flora - your handlers a bit of an idiot though! 🤣
