🎄✨ Six Weeks Old on Christmas Eve ✨🎄
Our little Pokémon crew hit a big milestone on Christmas Eve — 6 weeks old — and what a magical way to celebrate! 🥹💙
These photos capture just how much they’ve grown in such a short time, and honestly… our hearts are so full.

From tiny, sleepy newborns to confident, curious little souls — the change over the past few weeks has been incredible to watch. 💫

Over Weeks 4–6, these babies have been BUSY learning about the world through our Avidog, Puppy Culture & Empowered Puppy programs, and they’ve taken everything in their stride like absolute champs 👏🐾

✨ What they’ve been up to lately:
🐾 Transitioning onto solid food (and loving it!)
🐾 Exploring both indoor & outdoor environments
🐾 Experiencing different surfaces — grass, concrete, tiles, floorboards, carpet & blankets
🐾 New toys, textures and enrichment every day
🐾 Gentle grooming exposure — brushing & nail trims
🐾 Water play splashes and sensory exploration
🐾 Everyday household noises — TV, cooking, clanging, banging, birds, rain & even thunder
🐾 Meeting new people and enjoying supervised play with kids
🐾 Building confidence through curiosity and problem solving

And of course… the teeth are coming in 😆
So there’s plenty of playful growling, tug games, cheeky wrestling and discovering just how fun it is to use those little pearly whites.

Personalities are really starting to shine now — from confident explorers to cuddly little shadows — and every day brings new laughs, new connections and new moments we wish we could freeze in time 💕

We are soaking up every snuggle, every play bow, and every sleepy pile of puppies while we can 🥹💙

Happy 6 weeks, little Pokémon — you are growing into something truly special ✨🐾

📸 Swipe to see how much they’ve grown since those tiny early days!

✨🐾 Better late than never… but absolutely worth the wait! 🐾✨

It’s time for a long-overdue update on our gorgeous litter from Flirt (Trublumate Oo La La) & Jethro (Ch. Wlkabout Special Agent Gibbs) — born 12.11.2025 💙

You’ve already met these five beautiful blue merle babies, but since our Week 2 post, life has well and truly taken over — end-of-year school events, flying interstate for a special family birthday ✈️🎂, and the general pre-Christmas chaos 🎄 meant we’ve had photos ready… just not quite the time to share them.

So today we’re catching you up properly 💫

Now moving through Weeks 2–4, the pups have been busy building on their early foundations and stepping into the next stage of development. Over this period they have been:
🤲 Continuing gentle handling and body awareness work
👂 Expanding sound exposure
🏡 Spending more time inside the home environment
🥣 Starting solids and learning positive food experiences
✂️ Ongoing nail trims
🧠 Developing early problem-solving and confidence skills
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Meeting a wide range of people — young and old
Their eyes are open, personalities are emerging, and they’re now confidently wobbling, toddling and exploring their world. These babies are proving to be beautifully cruisy — calm, sweet and thriving 💙

And now for the fun part… 🎉

Our litter theme, proudly chosen by Aiden (Mr 10), has finally been revealed:

✨ The Pokémon Litter ✨
💧 Squirtle – gentle, steady and quietly confident
💫 Eevee – sweet, adaptable and full of heart
💗🎶 Jigglypuff – affectionate, soft and endlessly endearing
🌱💚 Bulbasaur – thoughtful, grounded and calmly dependable
🔥 Charmander – bold, playful and brimming with warmth

📸 We’re sharing a quick photo today, with Week 4 photos and more updates coming very soon!
Thank you for sticking with us and loving these babies along the way — we promise, they’re worth the wait 💙🐾✨

✨🐾 Better late than never… but absolutely worth the wait! 🐾✨
We are finally excited to introduce our newest arrivals from Flirt (Trublumate Oo La La) & Jethro (Ch. Wlkabout Special Agent Gibbs) — born 12.11.2025.

We had our fingers crossed for a rainbow litter 🌈 but were instead graced with five perfect blue merle babies… and honestly, we couldn’t be more in love 💙💙💙💙💙

Now 2+ weeks earthside, these little souls have been keeping us busy, entertained, and absolutely smitten. From the moment they arrived we’ve been deep in all the early development magic:
🍼 Puppy Culture newborn protocols (ENS)
💛 Avidog Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
💖 Empowered Puppy Program foundations including ESI
🤲 Daily handling, body awareness, micro-socialisation
🌡️ Warmth regulation, structured feeding, early stress tolerance building
👂 Gentle sound introduction
🏡 Building confident, resilient babies from day one

And now… their eyes have opened, their personalities are emerging, and they’re starting to shuffle, wobble, and explore their world. These bubs are incredibly cruisy so far — calm, sweet, and thriving.

We have 2 girls and 3 boys, and YES… my middle son has officially chosen the theme for this litter 🎉👦💡 You’ll have to wait just a little longer to find out what it is!

📸 Stay tuned for our Week 3 photos and the big theme announcement!

What a terrible excuse for a human being 😭🤬 Poor Arnie and his poor mumma. My thoughts are with her and RIP Arnie 💔🐾

Update 1: Stolen vehicle and family dog appeal, Wynnum

Bayside Criminal Investigation Branch detectives have concluded investigations into the alleged theft of a vehicle, containing Arnie the German Shepard, from Wynnum on Saturday 8 November.

The owner of the vehicle has assisted police with these investigations, and it has now been established that a criminal offence of unlawful use of motor vehicle has not occurred.

It will be alleged shortly after 10.30pm on 7 November, the male owner drove the vehicle into Amelia Street in Fortitude Valley and left the vehicle on foot.

It will be further alleged that Arnie was left inside the vehicle.

Police allege the following morning the male owner advised his partner that the vehicle had been stolen from a Wynnum address.

The female owner subsequently reported the matter to police. Investigators will allege that the woman was not aware that the vehicle had not in fact been stolen.

At 4pm on 17 November, a member of the public located the vehicle parked on Amelia Street in Fortitude Valley.

Arnie was located deceased inside the vehicle.

Following extensive investigations, yesterday evening the 43-year-old male owner was charged with one count of breach of duty of care of animal by failing to provide under the Animal Protection Act.

The matter is expected to appear before a Brisbane Court next month.

Investigations remain ongoing.

Media and the public are thanked for their extensive assistance throughout the investigation.

Police are aware this has been a highly publicised case, and offences of this nature may cause distress and upset members of the public.

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) requests that the public are respectful of the matter’s progression through the courts.

The QPS takes animal care seriously.

Any reports of a breach of a duty of care towards animals will be taken seriously and fully investigated.

✨🐾 Yellowstone Litter – 6 Weeks Old! 🐾✨

We’re a few days late (life with puppies is busy busy busy!), but here they are – our Yellowstone crew at 6 weeks! 💛

This past week has been such a big one for Rip, Monica, Teeter, Beth & Laramie. Using Puppy Culture, Avidog, and the Empowered Puppy Program, we’ve focused on:
🌟 Crate games and barrier challenges
🌟 Exploring new textures, sounds, and play equipment
🌟 Car rides and gentle grooming sessions
🌟 Building confidence through problem-solving and new environments

They also had their very first big adventure 🚗 – a trip to the vet for:
💉 6-week vaccinations
🩺 Full health checks
🧬 DNA swabs
📍 Microchips

All did beautifully and came home with tails wagging (or little nubs wiggling 🤎).

We’re now preparing for our meet & greets 🥰 where families will get to visit, cuddle, and start bonding with their new pup. Such an exciting time!

🐶 And guess what? We still have one gorgeous black tri girl 👀 looking for a 🛋️ to call her very own. Could she be your perfect match?

Drop a ❤️ if you adore the Yellowstone babies, and tell us in the comments which pup is stealing your heart!

⏰🐾 A little late but worth the wait! We’re a week behind on sharing these images of our Yellowstone Litter — apologies, but it’s been go, go, go behind the scenes! We snapped their week 6 pics today, but first let’s rewind and share their week 5 photos + recap 🥰

From weeks 4–5, our little crew (Rip, Monica, Teeter, Laramie & Beth) have been busy growing their confidence through:
✨ Puppy Culture protocols
✨ Avidog early development
✨ Empowered Puppy Program

This has included:
🖐️ Daily handling & barrier challenges
🎶 Exposure to new sounds & sights
🏡 Exploring new rooms & play areas
🐕 Meeting calm adult dogs
🚗 First short car rides
🌿 Outdoor playtime in the fresh air
💤 Building resilience through nap-time routine
😋 Trying tasting new foods

As breeders, we sometimes feel a little disheartened by the lack of love shown for our black tris… but oh my heart 💖. Miss Voodoo & Trooper blessed us with four beautiful black tri girls, and their natures are simply divine — sweet, gentle, loving, and happy. A couple of these precious girls are still 🧐 for the perfect 🛋️ to call their own.

We know merles catch the eye with their flashy coats, but remember — without our tris (especially black!), there would be no blue merles. These stunning girls are stealing hearts here every single day 💕🐾

📸 Stay tuned — week 6 pics are coming very soon!

These little adventurers are thriving, exploring, and working through their *Puppy Culture, Avidog & Empowered Puppy* programs (weeks 5–6). Vet checks tomorrow ✅ and meet & greets start Sunday – exciting times ahead! 🐶✨

🌟 **Miss Chilli’s Zodiac litter** are 5 weeks old today! They’ll be making their socials debut this weekend. Raising this bunch has been an absolute joy – we can already see a little *mini Chilli* in there 😍 Can’t wait to introduce them!

Meanwhile, we LOVE receiving **P-Updates** and wanted to share a few…
🦊 Mstr Boss (now *Fox*) has moved to Melbourne with a super cool couple.
🤎 Mstr Taboo (now *Chester*) is living the farm life in Clare, QLD with his half-sister Hazel.
🐻 Mstr Dash (now *Koda*) has stayed local with an amazing family.
All three boys are thriving in their new homes, and our hearts couldn’t be fuller 💖

✨🐾 7 Weeks of Gossip x Robbo Babies! 🐾✨

A little late to the party, but on Tuesday our gorgeous crew turned 7 weeks old! 💖 This past week has been a big one – they completed their temperament tests, had their visit with the K9 ophthalmologist (all with clear eyes ✅👀), and enjoyed their meet & greet day with families.

From weeks 6 to 7, we’ve continued with Puppy Culture, Avidog, and the Empowered Puppy Program, exposing them to new environments, sights, sounds, car rides, grooming tools, and plenty of enrichment to build confidence and resilience 🌟.

Now we’re in the 7–8 week stage, focusing on crate games, leash introduction, grooming routines, car travel, and building independence in preparation for their big adventures ahead. Only a couple of sleeps now until these babies begin jetting off ✈️ to their forever homes! 🏡❤️

Raising Gossip’s second and final litter has been such a joy – we’ve cherished every moment of their journey and can’t wait to watch them continue to grow, thrive, and light up the lives of their new families ✨🐶.
