Daphne’s puppies were born at the end of June and will be ready to go to their new homes at the end of August. With a fantastic inbreeding co-efficient of just 2.4% we have had an exceptional litter of dual purpose puppies. The puppies are a mixture of solid black and solid liver. Puppies will NOT have their tails docked or their dewclaws removed. They will spend their first 8 weeks in our clean family home where they will experience lots of love, they will spend lots of time with our 3 children and many of their friends. They will also have the opportunity to meet other fully vaccinated dogs and plenty of wildlife including our own chickens, ducks and the cattle in the field next to us. They will have been wormed from 2 weeks old, will have had a health check from our vet, their first vaccinations at 8 weeks and they will be microchipped.
Update 26/7/21 - The puppies turned 4 weeks old on Sunday and are now exploring more of the house and the garden everyday. They are all doing well with weaning and are enjoying playing with toys. Each week we will make sure they are meeting lots of different people and we will expose the, to as many experiences and noises as possible.
