The puppies are entering the middle of week five. There are four females and one male.
They are transitioning from semi solid to solid food with each pup having their own bowl of food. They are not showing any kind of food aggessive tendencies. Mother is weaning them off her milk with only two or three small feedings per day.
The pups know where the communal water bowls are and use them after eating and when they return inside.
They are now regularly going outside to explore their surroundings in our double fenced back yard. Running, playing carrying leaves sticks, and toys, are outdoor activities they enjoy.
Using love and praise, the pups are now familiar with the words inside, outside, eat and nigh-night. They are also responding well to the whistle recall.
We have NOT named the pups, so they will not be confused with their forever owner's name choice.
Indoors are spent racing up and down the hall chasing mom, dad, each other and the humans owners, and chewing on the teething toys are provide stimulating experiences.
We are teaching them not to bite humans, shoes, furniture and each other by redirecting to toys and providing teething relief using prior cleaned beef bones, used by mom and dad.
Mother is mastiff husky cross and stands 22 inches at the shoulders and weights 55 lbs, dad is border collie mastiff cross and stands 28" at the shoulders and weights 75 lbs.
The puppies have been heavily socialised by us, our children, and grandchildren (aged 15 years to 14 months). They are very comfortable sleeping in the living room as we watch tv or wherever their humans are.
Colours range from light, medium and dark, and two black pups with white chests. Their coats are becoming more pronounced in colours and markings.
We are asking for a $150 dollar (non refundable deposit) to hold the puppy of your choice. The balance of $350 dollars will be due at the time of your obtaining your pup. Deposits and balances can be cash or etransfer.
You can pick up your puppy here, in Sandy Hook Manitoba 45 minutes north of the perimeter or we can meet you in the city. We can also travel 1 and a half hour diameter (one way) from Gimli to meet with you.
The puppies will be dewormed, vet checked and have their first round of shots. Their individual vet records will be included in the purchase.
We will post new pictures of the puppies each week. We will also update the status of each pup as they are chosen by their forever family. We can provide you with more pictures or videos of the puppies on request. We will be allowing in person viewing of the pups after the first round of shots and the vet check.
I will include my cell phone number next week to facilitate easier communication for information on the pups.
If you would like more information about the pups please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you.
