Mother Maye had 3 puppies on Wednesday. She has been trying to transfere them to a lovely new den she has dug in the enclosure! We have different ideas, and the puppies are now inside, going out to Mum for supervised bonding and feeding time. You can see The puppy just under May’s leg.

Labs have a universal dislike of worming. These puppies were happily oblivious after we sunk the tablets into dog role. Worms are a serious problem in puppies, so the puppies are treated every two weeks.

Socialising with children, and outside time, have started. The puppies are two weeks old.

Amber gave birth to nine beautiful, Red Fox puppies, 22/09/24. If you are interested meeting the puppies at three weeks please follow the link for more details.

Chewy’s last puppy left for her new home on Saturday. We now restock and clean the whelping area. We are also settling Amber, who is due in just over three weeks, into the whelping area/puppy pen. As she slows down this will be her space to rest and become comfortable in.

A little sad at NK today as we are having to say goodbye to Coffee. A couple of very minor traits mean we will not be breeding from her. She is healthy and friendly, and we are looking for a good home for her.

Coffee has now gone to a lovely home in Christchurch. They have plenty of space and another dog for company. After a weeks trial the girls had hit it off wonderfully and Coffee is very settled.

Maye passed her PennHIP test this week, scoring a fantastic .29. It’s wonderful to have this lovely girl ‘officially’ added to NK.
