Novaforesta Lenten Rose at 4 weeks old

Please note, spelt correctly this week ( thank you Daisy, daughter of Betsy for that ). My other quiet girl, She loves the  baby toys though that are scattered round the room, although her favorite is kitchen roll soaked in wee......

Novaforesta Lily of the valley at 2 weeks

She is a real sweetie, very calm and quiet and the other pups use her as a cushion.

Novaforesta Investigator? at 6 weeks

Now this boy has the softest of mouths, and ran round the garden like a lunatic when he found the pheasant wing, so I had to wait until he decided to show his trophy off to his litter mates. He is the softest and sweetest and just loves to be cuddled.
EDIT : Need to check his new owners like his name but they are away for a few days

Morning to the world

puppy photos 3.5 weeks old

I have started to wean the pups on a recipe given to me by a friend who has been rearing pups for 30 years, and I am pleased to say that they are certainly ready for it and Bepop can start looking less haunted when they all start yelling. Whistle training will now commence, although if you watch the webcam then the pups will be fed outside the box, but you will see alot of excitement and the box being emptied!. I will feed them on different floor surfaces, and different food bowls as this is the time for the beginning of the handover from Bepop to me, she has done a wonderful job so far, she has been very protective of the pups with the other dogs around but is now starting to relax with Martha, Bobby and Jazz, however Betsy she feels is still a threat and in fairness she probably is as she is so maternal that she would without any doubt try and take the pups.
