7 weeks old!!

Wow, where has the time gone?!?  This coming week the puppies will be going to the Calgary CARE Centre to see Dr B Skorobohach/Dr R Christmas to have their eyes looked at.  They will then provide me with a letter stating if there were any problems with any of the pups.  Once I have registration numbers for each or the pup I will call them into the clinic and they will send me the forms for CERF at that time I will send each of you the copy for you to send to CERF.  Remember it is your responsibility to have the pups eyes examined every year.  Not only is this helpful for my breeding program but also is an awesome tool to ensure your puppies eyes are healthy.

After the eye exams we will be doing the Volhard Puppy Apptitude tests.  At this time I will then know who is going to which home.  I have a good idea on who will match with whom but a third party evaluation is always best.  They don't pick favorites!!

The puppies will have their core vaccines done just shortly before heading to their new homes.  Puppies that are going to "show" homes please remember that the litter is nominated for the 2010 CNASA Breeder Futurity.  The futurity is held the first weekend in September in Saskatoon, SK.  There are at least 4 puppies in the litter that I would like to come to the futurity.  They must be intact to be shown.  It is the responsibility of each owner to enter available shows in at least their area.  The cost for just the futurity is $100 and the pup must be entered in one of the regular classes too (between $24-$30/class).  If you can not make it to the Nationals please let me know, I do not charge my puppy owners to show dogs that I have bred, but do ask that you contribute to lodging and gas.

The puppies will be having their photo shoot tomorrow.  They are growing like weeds!!!  Thank you again to all of you who have helped socialize the puppies so far.

2 More Weeks to go!!!!
