In & Out - Puppies adventure

All our puppies were brought out yesterday and today, being as a lone pup or in a pair of 2. The 6 of them have shown great characters, drives, determination and courage. They played tug outside of their whelping box too, showing great drives. All puppies were very curious and explore the whole of our living room and kitchen.

After these 2 days observation, all puppies have great drive, attentiveness and ability to rebound in different situations. Once again I am very confident that this litter will excel in Performance Home, be it Agility, Flyball, Obedience, Frisbee, Rally etc

This is so interesting

This is so interesting, Puppies were sound asleep till they heard me coming in. All looked at me, and I said: "dont worry about about me, go sleep sleep." as I sit there to look at them. And that is what they all did! They all lie back down and close their eyes to sleep lol! Amazing!! Coincidence or What?

24.10.10 - Updates on Hershey's Litter!

24-10-10 - Another week has passed and it's time again to measure their weights and deworm them. Very healthy weight measurement, on average it is around 1.8kg range. It is also time for our 3rd deworming. This is to ensure all puppies are well taken care of and protected from worms.

We also have a good rub down on our puppies, wash them and powder them, making all the puppies so clean, so good to smell, lovable and hug-able.

Our puppies will be available for viewing soon, if you are interested in our puppies please email us at diamondisle@gmail.com.

A week into Solid feeding

It's been a week since we started feeding our C-litter with solid feeds. They all seems to be very happy to enjoy the best of both worlds - Solid Food & Mama's Milk! Pups were very satisfied with the interchangeably feeding of Solid Feeds and Mama's Hershey's Milk. All pups have grow so fast and they are so much fun to play with now.

C-litter wild adventure photos

C litter wild exposure@231010

This morning, we decided to let our C-litter have their first taste of the actual environment. They were all taken out to our garden to have their first wild ride of the environment. Given the haste has been real bad lately, we only allow about 5 minutes of exposure.

Hot, humid, dry, sight, sound, sun, birds etc all types of exposure were present to stimulate their senses. This week is also a great opportunity to let them interact of their kinds, so we will arrange for the pups to see the adults shortly.

Photos of this wild adventure will be uploaded soon. Keep watch this space!

Diamondisle 3rd litter was born on 26 SEPT 2010

Our long awaited 3rd litter from Diamondisle Loch-N-Legasi AD,PS1,PJ1 and Diamondisle Crystal Blue was born on 26th September 2010. Labour started around 8pm where hershey is screaming in pain, nesting inside her whelping box. By about 10pm, a full collar 1st female blue merle pup was born. Hershey was a natural, her mother instinct took over and she clean her pup and biting off the umbilical cord.

At 10.42pm, the 2nd pup a non full collar blue merle female pup was born. Her marking is very different form the firstborn. Hershey goes into cleaning her and bite off the umbilical cord. During the resting period, we manage to help the 2 new born nurse from the mother's milk, which will be build up their defense system against infection.

At 11.33pm, the 3rd pup was born, this time is a red colour female pup, very happy to see red puppy. Before we can finished cleaning her up, at 11.45pm, the 4th blue merle female pup was born. This is the smallest litter by far. Think they could have share the same placenta. Hershey is so busy cleaning up both the Red and the Blue Merle pups.

Cuckoo Cuckoo, we were into the next day 27 September 2010. At 12.30am, the 5th pup and finally a boy blue merle was born. This is a huge boy.

At 12.53am, the 6th the last pup was born. Guess what, the last is also a boy, a very neatly marked blue merle boy.

When we put all the 6 litters back to hershey, she was overwhelmed, don't know how to attend to.......and before you realize it she has become a good and natural mother.
