Ive been a bit slow on this one-
A few weeks ago our Cary,

Piwakawaka Icarus Shelbysta obtained his 8th Challenge Cert, earning him an NZ Champion title.

He is the 2nd litter mate to earn this, with his sister Piwakawaka Aurora Memphis earning hers a few months back, & now has 13 CC's

Sire- NZCH Viewlands Walking Moose

Grandsire- NZCH Brendamay Walking in Memphis

Looking forward to seeing what their half sister Piwakawaka Da'Lil Beauty can do when she is old enough to be in the ring

..No walking around yet as she isn't fully vaccinated, just carrying a safe & secure crate & pen 💕

She didn't seem to be too.phased by it all 🥰

This was on my feed this morning....

Where has the time gone- this photo was taken 7 years ago.
One of the pups in this photo is the Grandmother of the litter we currently have. She is still happy & healthy and still lives with us ❤️

Its been a little while since I did a Pup-date....
Our Angel & Archie pups are now 7 1/2 weeks🥰
They are all around 2kg and have free run of the lounge & deck, most of the day.
They are confined to quarters when it's feeding time & night time😴
Pups are booked next week for their first vet check, 8 week vaccination, microchip, patella & heart check😷ì
After that they will be individually registerred with DogsNZ (NZ Kennel Club) with their pedigree names 🤔
Then 1-2 weeks later, three will be heading off on their adventuous journey with their new excited & loving families and one will be starting a Show career with us😘💕..so funny how they all choose different sleeping places- under the coffee table, next to the fire, in a crate and next to the couch 😁🥰

Be very wary of this sort of rubbish circulating.

Visual examination is objective- what one person thinks can be quite different from another.
They have absolutely no scientific data to show any direct links from the points noted to actual health conditions affecting the quality of life for a dog.
Who determines such things as 'natural leg length', every dog is different just as people are.

Ethical pedigree breeders are VERY careful to do all the known health tests to ensure their breeding dogs will have minimal controllable health issues. With Nature there can ALWAYS be the unexpected, an environmental issue, a mutated gene...

These people have a chip on their shoulder and are purely grandstanding. Their energies should be directed towards stopping puppy farms and uncontrolled & roaming dogs breeding progeny with unknown health issues :(

Don't buy in to their nonsense.

I'm about little late doing my weekly weigh-in post.
Pups were 5 weeks old on Tuesday.
I am really happy with how they are doing.
They all weigh between 1.3-1.5kg.
Its been cold here, but nice and sunny, so they had their first experience of the Big Wide World and grass, not just the 'in house' world.

Then and Now...

This popped up in my feed yesterday.
It was our 2nd litter, hard to believe they are 7 years old now 🙄 (The Dam & Sire are still alive & well, living with family members)
