Photogallery - Day 3

We are already about half a kilo, we eat a lot, sleep and climb. We loudly slurp food and announce to each other that we are hungry by squealing. The same program is planned for the whole week. We will continuously publish progress. Deworming is planned for the 2nd, 4th and 6th weeks. The first vaccination will be at the beginning of June. The puppies will then be issued with Europass.

The puppies are eating like crazy and are gaining weight. By the end of the week, they will probably be twice their birth weight. Even though Barča can  feed them with her mother's milk, today we will also start feeding them with special Bosch puppy milk suitable from day 1. This procedure is recommended when there are more puppies in the litter.

The males are already between 600 and 700g, the females between 500 and 600g. They are starting to climb out of the box. I made an unsuccesfull attempt to take a photo of the whole group: ) The intention was to line up the puppies for the photo nicely next to each other with their heads forward, you can see the result for yourself:). Within a few seconds they were all gone or turned their backs. Since it was a beautiful day today, Barča at least enjoyed the garden for a while, when the puppies were sleeping.

Photogallery - Day 7

It's unbelievable, but we've been in the world for a week now and we've managed it perfectly so far. Almost all of us have doubled our birth weight and are doing well. Even Barča seems quite optimistic despite her tiredness, she has resumed her old habits and in her free time she is chasing the cats around the garden and going to watch the gate. Next week we will have our first deworming..

..some of us have already over a kilo..

Photogallery - Day 14

The dogs have made great progress in the past few days. They are no longer just crawling, but are standing on all fours, trying to walk and playing around together. We first noticed it with the purple one and soon everyone could do it. All the puppies can now see and are interested in everything :)...

Photogallery - we are start our 3rd week

It was sunny today, so we went in the garden for a while. But then it started to blow, so we moved back home so that we wouldn't get cold. In addition to Barč's milk, we are adding puppy porridge and minced chicken to the diet. This is a great success. We are so excited about the food that we would like to bathe ourselves in it and we love to pat our siblings' heads and the whole playpen with our paws, which then requires general cleaning ... and that repeatedly during the day ... Most importantly, we are having fun and we are still getting bigger and stronger ... :)

We have a new lesson from today. With half a kilo of ground beef, Cannina instant porridge for puppies tastes much better :)

We've been in the world for 4 weeks now, we're great guys!

The whole garden is our territory and the pace is crazy:) Sometimes we still chase the milk bar - our mother - around the garden, but otherwise we eat meat, vegetables, dairy products and porridge ourselves most of the day. We all weigh around 4kg on average. When it's hot, we prefer to sleep under the sun beds.

Our 5th week 

We start going wild before 6 am and end around 9 pm, when they uncompromisingly take us home to sleep. We occupy the sun beds, it's our bunker now.  In addition to toys, we are also interested in gardening and shoes...

The puppies will be able to play football ..

Week 6 : 

We bravely discovering more remote corners of the garden, where we find many interesting things that no one had any idea about. We also enjoy games, the girls can even dare to challenge the boys. We chase the owner and the 18-year-old cat around the garden, they didn't understand that we are in control here :)

Week 7 : Club Control of the litter

Today, on the 48th day of the puppies' life, the litter was successfully inspected and accepted by the main breeding advisor. All puppies received an excellent rating, they have a scissor bite, dark or medium brown eyes and a golden color. Therefore, our babies are available for hand over from the 50th day. It has been incredibly fast and there has been no time to take a break and realize how incredibly lucky we were to have these great babies. All that remains is to thank the Club - especially Mrs. Pavlovská for her advice and help with the whole process, her advice was worth its weight in gold. Many thanks also to the Rychtařík family, without their Gerry we would not have had these puppies. We were in contact almost every day and it was great moral support. And also to the Kozák family in Chuchle, where our Barča comes from. They were always happy to help and advise, it is our dog family. Hopefully we will keep this good tradition and create the same dog family with the new owners of our dogs! :)

Week 8

The visits are in full swing and some of the dogs are already leaving for their new homes. I am very happy that they were chosen by people with a good heart, who love the Leonberger breed and have suitable conditions for pets. We spent several months getting to know each other, many interested parties came to visit Barča when she was pregnant, we wrote, called and exchanged photos basically from the moment of mating. For new interested parties, I must emphasize that this process cannot be shortened or even skipped completely. Without knowing the interested party and the family in which the puppy will live, I can never promise anyone 100%, let alone prepare him for departure on your first visit to us. And this is not even if the person in question is traveling from a long distance.  We need to be sure that our babies will be happy and that we will be able to see them occasionally at club events and follow their life path. We are not a breeding farm and we do not sell dogs to complete strangers, we choose new owners carefully. Thank you for your understanding, I hope that this way we can avoid mutual frustrations. I recommend that everyone first checks out the club website, where our main advisor describes the process of buying a puppy very well.

Photogallery week 8

There are only 6 of us here and every day someone from the group leaves to join a new family, but our spirits are mood is still good and it is still lively here...
