On a more positive note

To further enhance our breeding program, and to ensure genetic diversity, we have teamed up with two other breeders to add these two little charmers from Germany to our breeding program. Our newest members of the family, co-owned and living with Lisa Hockin and Maishelle Heath King. Bred by Philippine and Jens Gotemann out of Ghandi of Velvet Dreams and Sandra's Lady Lara.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we must watch what our dogs chew on.

More on the previous post.

One of the things a puppy owner needs to watch for at this time of year is mushrooms.  Puppies tend to try to eat almost anything so watch for those mushrooms that tend to pop-up over night.

Here's Ann-Marie

The one photo is out of focus, but if you look at her leg you'll see that she has a tan bracelet around her ankle.  Her cheeks and possibly her eyebrows may lighten as she matures.

Things you may not know about puppies

1. Puppies are born not fully developed.  Their eyes are sealed shut because they need to finish the maturation process.  Even at eight weeks when these puppies will go to the ophthalmologist their eyes are not fully mature.  Puppy eyes tend to open around two weeks.

2.  Their ears are also closed at birth and they can not hear until their ears open somewhere about three weeks.

3.  Some breeds are more mature at birth than others, many being able to walk right from birth.  Havanese tend not to be able to get up on their feet until sometime between two and four weeks.

4.  Puppies are born not able to regulate their own body temperature.  For this reason they have to be kept in a temperature regulated room until they are about four weeks.  This makes  makes them extremely vulnerable to bacteria and viruses.  The herpes virus is one of the main threats to a puppy because the body temperature must be over 100 degrees to kill off this virus.  The average adult dog body temperature is around  101 degrees.
