Puppies expected in March!

Proudly presenting our D litter expected in March:

To say I am excited about this litter would be an understatement.

Anyone who knows me, knows for how long I have been dreaming of doing a special litter by my leading lady Blair, and King trully embodies everything I was looking for.

Last days with our Christmas litter

It has been a special litter and I couldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams that Blair would produce such lovely puppies in her first litter and she has once again proven herself to be an amazing girl. She excelled in her role as mommy, giving the puppies so much love and affection and I am sure she will be happy to have some of them home for a little while longer.

I am happy to have gotten 2 amazing girlies who will stay here at MapleSpring's and hopefully follow in their parents' footsteps. Another girl will be joining a small breeder in Finland in March and we will get to spend some more time with her. And both boys will live in Slovenia as very loved pets and family dogs.

December 31 2023

6 weeks with our Christmas litter

6 weeks of joy and cuddles with our 5 Blair babies have gone by too fast. These little ones have beean a lot of fun, but the real fun is just starting; they are now old enough to learn leash walking and meet more new people and dogs, explore new places, sleep in their crate through the night...

We have a vet visit planned for next week to do their eye checks and get them microchipped and vaccinated. And then in 3 more weeks the first will be leaving for new adventures with their new families.

December 18 2023

Christmas puppies 1st time outside

And finally they are old enough for short play sessions outside. They were a very brave bunch, exploring every little corner of our garden, and about 10 minutes in, we needed to return back to the warm inside playroom.

Besides this first outing, the little ones have been very good learning how to take treats, experiencing their first clicker sessions and learning to mand.

December 2023

3 weeks with Christmas litter

The little ones can all hear and see and their walking is getting more and more stabile. Teeth are comming out so mommy Blair is spending some time away from them too. We are continuing our washing, drying and brushing sessions as well as individual cuddle sessions. Each day they have a novelty introduced and they are doing great with noises, floor textures and toys too. Most of their days are now spend in the living room where they are getting to know the daily family life

November 2023

2 weeks with Christmas litter

The little ones are starting to move around and almost all have their eyes open. We are also by today done with ENS and ESI protocols. We had our first paw washing sessions and continued gentle brushing sessions as well. Individual time is getting more and more fun, puppies are lively, strong and ready for fun

November 2023

1 week with Christmas puppies

Blair and Scamp babies are growing so fast and are becoming more and more lovely each passing day

ENS and ESI protocols are being implemented as well as early grooming rituals to make sure we have the best little ones prepared for anything they might encounter in their lives. And individual cuddle sessions multiple times a day are a must of course

Blair gave birth to these little miracles yesterday. Unfortunately one little boy left us and is watching over his mommy and siblings from heaven.

She is being a wonderful caring mommy and the little ones are doing very well.

We have 3 females (black tri, blue merle and red merle; all NBT) and 2 males. (black tri and blue merle; both long tailed).
