Five Weeks Old

It was a dreary, very rainy day. The pups decided they don't like the rain. We put a canopy up to allow them to go out without getting rained on :)  No we are not spoiling them - there's no such thing :)

Here's some pics:

Play - As Important as Potty

The pups are doing so well house training - there has been no pee in the house (save a midnight gotta go) for three days now - hooray! As a result, the pups are allowed to run around the house a lot more :) We purchased several smaller toys for them to play with in a range of textures, from squeaky soft toys to bones. They decided they like mom and dad's toys better :)

We wanted to let everyone know that if you email us interested in a puppy, we will take pics and try to hit all angles so you can see all their colors. Also, we will not hold a pup without a deposit, but we will accept deposits by Paypal to our craft business address - indigostudio@embarqmail.com  Upon receiving a deposit, the puppy will immediately be removed from sale and you will be sent a receipt with all details of the puppy and a picture. When making deposit, please tell us the litter name we've been using, or collar color of your choice. We'd also like to know if you have a name already picked for your puppy. If so, we will immediately begin calling the puppy by that name, but will not post the name or any details about the buyer.

We are trying not to think about pick up day just yet. We are having much too much fun with seven German Shepherds in the house :)

First Vet Visit

All the pups went to the vet today for their first check up and first worming. All pups checked out healthy - hooray! and CUTE :) They also were fitted with breakaway collars today to better identify them to their potential new masters. Here are the weights and collar colors:

Light Blue - formerly known as Bear - 9 lbs, 1 oz
Dark Blue - formerly known as Curly - 9 lbs, 6 oz
Red - formerly known as Gizmo - 7 lbs, 8 oz
Pink - formerly known as Precious - 7 lbs, 12 oz
And Bella - purple collar - 7 lbs, 8 oz - we are pretty sure we are keeping her

All of the pups will be wormed again in two weeks and will return to the vet next week for their first round of vaccinations.

Peace,
Dharma Dogs

Our First Video

Okay - this is the very first one I've ever made, so be kind :) But, here are the pups!

First they are at three weeks and their very first sojourn outside, frightened of everything and wanting to go back inside to their safe little pool.

Next, they are four weeks (yes, only a week apart and this was just last weekend!) and confident playing with mom and dad.

Enjoy :)

Peace and Love,

Too Cute for Words

The boys are four weeks old today, the girls tomorrow. Potty training has begun, as well as weaning. Pups are all eating mush that is getting less and less milky each day, drinking fresh water, and had their first fresh egg from the Reds today. Yes, we are going to incorporate some natural feeding before they go to their new homes.

Four weeks til pick up date..email dharmadogsfarm@embarqmail.com if you would like to see the pups and their family.

Puppies for sale

Hard as it is - yes, we have to sell the puppies. Pick up day is going to be October 23, 2010. All pups will be bathed and have cool toys to bring to their new home. There are males and females - we are still considering keeping one pup and it's between Curly and Oskarette. In the photo above, Oskar is in back (dad) then left to right, Curly, Precious, Oskarette, Gizmo - in the front is Bear and Jet (mom).

Gizmo was first born - we call him this because he sounds just like the little furball in the movie when he gets wound up. He is very smart and going to be a protective companion. He is very much like his mom.

Bear was second born - he is big and furry, likely a longer haired GSD, and he has a very gentle, laid back demeanor, like his dad.

Curly was third born - he is the biggest, and definitely the alpha male. He was first to do almost everything, is very vocal, in charge, and will be a very protective dog. He is a very even combination of mom and dad.

Precious was fourth born - she is just that, precious. Very laid back and a lot like her daddy-gentle and wanting to play.

Oskarette was fifth born - she was named this because she is going to color up a lot like her dad. She is sweet - very quiet and loves to cuddle.

Okay - some pictures:

The puppies are $400 each and will be vet checked and first shots. Contact us if you'd like to visit them. $200 will hold your pick and we'll begin calling the pup by your chosen name.

Peace and Love,

Dharma Dogs and Dogs and more Dogs :)
