One very wriggly puppy! It took two of us to get the swabs from her cheek!

We had a first on 25/6 with ‘Boot’ being born in the boot of the car on the way back from the vets. Maye needed an oxytocin shot to speed up labour: it worked really fast – before we even got home. Pics are Maye at the vets with first two puppies, and all four puppies on right.

Boot, his three siblings and Mum, Maye, are all well.

Tilly and Rosie have joined the family at NK. They will need to pass a vet check, DNA checks and a PennHIP test before going onto our breeding program. They are lovely, lively girls, currently just enjoying being puppies.

Cluff waiting patiently while I get the groceries.

An exciting day for White. Her first air trip with her new ‘mum’, who travelled all the way across NZ to make this little ones transition a little easier. All the best in the Big City, Little One.

A thoughtful day…these puppies have been together for two months. Today their lives diverge. Two leaving for Rolleston, and next week two for the far south (Waimate) and the far North (Auckland).

Keeping warm by the log fire. Born by c-section due to a breach puppy, Amber and her puppies needed a little extra care in the first few days. Puppies arrived 16/05/25. All doing well. See our website for more details.

Chewy on a walk at Grey River. She has a little more freedom for outings now her puppies have gone.
