WEEK 3 Puppies A Plenty!

It’s crazy how fast these little puppers are growing!  They’re moving around great, and wrestling and playing w/one another.  They’ve begun making their way to the potty area to relieve themselves.  We won’t be letting them outside until the end of this next week at the earliest.  Sunday night we caught Coral, and Sage B-lining over to the potty area  for the first time.  We can already see some personality traits presenting themselves, and I’m sure we’ll see much much more develop  this week. Well let’s get to the good stuff- pictures!

Incase there was any doubt in your mind that these pups were being showered w/love.

It’s wonderful for puppies to be exposed to lots of noises, and of course have interactions w/children at an early age.  So our pups are always very well adjusted.

RUSTY UPDATE: He’s still donning the cone of shame, but not for too much longer! The Dr. took half of his fixture off. (He was tempted to take the whole thing off, but didn’t want to push it-given the higher activity of the vizsla breed)  So Rusty is pretty much healed.

BLUR…

WEEK 2 for these pups was pretty much a blur -so much happened!  Early on in the week Slate’s eyes began to open and by the end of the week they all had opened their eyes.  They are becoming so mobile, and walk all over the place.  We love once their eyes open, because then so many things about their personalities start  to present themselves.  A few puppies have been wrestling and gnawing on one another as well, so we’ve got a playful little bunch. ONLY 3 MALES AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME!  Call 303-842-4041 to inquire about RESERVATIONS.

One of the most exciting things about the pups eyes opening is they begin to find a place  distanced from where they sleep to potty.  For the most part our pups are practically potty trained at 8 weeks when they are transferred to their new families. We’ve tweaked our set up just a little this go around in hopes that they will ALL be completely potty trained at 8 weeks.

Within the whelping box there is this separate potty are, with a grate, and removable tub underneath.

As you can see from here there is another little doggy door that leads outside…

To our custom made “potty platform” as Jeff is dubbing it.

    IMG_9500

It’s even got sod, so that the pups get accustomed to going potty in the grass, and Jeff rigged this table up with it’s own sprinkler system so we can maintain the grass…

IMG_9505 

Platform is complete with drain, so we can release water as needed….

              IMG_9507

One side and the top swing open to make cleaning up poop easier.  This will be nice for the pups to get outside and play/potty, and we don’t have to worry about them being nabbed by one of the many large hawks out here in the country!
