Our “H” litter puppies left to their new homes

Now the kids are grown up and left their nest. We miss all the joy that they bring us, but at the same time we are happy and condratulate their new families, our new friends. Now we will have more time to train and spoil older dogs at our kennel.

Wanted to share a few pictures of typical March weather in Georgia!

Isn’t it nice to have your own reindeer “pack”?

Having Fun with your German Shepherd

Who wants to have some fun?! A tired dog is a happy dog, and a tired German Shepherd is twice as happy. The degree of tongue protrusion in the picture is a clear evidence of who was working hard and who was just along for the ride.

We weighed the puppies today – all are uniform, weighing in at about 1 lb - very good weight for newborn German Shepherd puppies, especially from a large litter like this.

Quana is very happy with her pups and doesn’t want to leave them even for a minute. I gave her 16 oz cottage cheese for breakfast, mixed with 2 egg yolks and 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt.

And for dinner – 4 cups Orijen + 1 can of Green Tripe by Solid Gold + 2/3 lbs raw liver (cut into pieces).

This is a very special day – our V Quana vom Klausener Grund, SchH1, Kkl1, a1/a1 had 10 healthy German Shepherd puppies today! 3 boys and 7 girls. The proud dad is V2 (NASS) Yash von der Bastillie, SchH3, Kkl1, a1/a1.

The mom is resting with the babies under my constant supervision in our office. Please come back often to watch these new German Shepherd puppies developing.

Since my hands are pretty tied up with the little ones, our dogs will have to move from a completely raw/homemade diet to some frequent kibble meals. Chad is going to the store today to pick up 5 cases of Organ Mix and Raw Green Tripe, but also will get a few bags of Orijen. I believe this is the best dry dog food on the market today.

Raw Beef Organs

Each dog, adult or puppy had 2 lbs raw, frozen organ mix tonight for dinner. Puppies also had 3 chicken backs for breakfast. At this age they weigh less than adults, but eat more - all this energy and growing requires a lot of food. Organ mix (“Natural Mix”) came from www.blueridgebeef.com

The Kasha will come out rather thick. You can freeze the unused portion, or keep it in the refregirator for up to 4 days safely.
