Bee'Em Sea Kennel

Ok. Puppies had their 2nd worming dose this past Friday along with their first dose of kennel cough vaccine. They will get their first shots next Friday. They have been getting their nails trimmed every week and don't seem to be bothered at all. They are wrestling and playing and discovering how effective their new teeth are. They still like sleeping under a brooder heater. With arrival of baby teeth, they have moved up to a slurry of soft puppy food and formula to give Spar a little reprive from those teeth. The 3 boys still need families, so I am asking for a response if you have an interest in this litter. If I don't get response by September 25th I will be moving you off updates for this litter. You'll still be on waiting list for next year unless you ask to be removed completely. All in all this is a very happy litter of puppies. During this next week they will be introduced to a potty tray and a wobble board. I will also be adding some toys they can safely play with. They will also be introduced to a water bowl and softened starter kibble.

The puppy’s eyes are wide open and they’re taking in everything when they’re awake and they're listening to all the sounds around them. The puppies are learning to regulate their own body temperature more and more. They’re up and walking more frequently, straying away from the heater. They are still nursing but we’re going to start trying semi solid foods next week. Everyone had their first worming last week with no issues and no sign of intestinal parasites and we want to keep it that way, they will have another worming next week. Spar is doing an amazing job of keeping these puppies so clean. I use white towels so that I can see any issues at just a quick glance but so far there haven't been any. All the puppies are gaining weight well. Enjoy this week’s photos.

Puppies are growing well and moving around more. They respond to sounds and are opening their eues. Theu tru to follow Spar out of the nest box on occasion but she's not having any of that yet. She puts them back in the box and they seem content tc stay where its warm and cozy.

I had originally picked a different artist theme for this litter but given that Dolly just passed i decided to choose her songs instead. So ... Dolly Parton litter Girl 1 BEE'EM SEA I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU Boy 1 BEE’EM SEA LOVE WITH ME Boy 2 BEE’EM SEA ROMEO Boy 3 BEE’EM SEA YOU CAN DO IT Girl 2 BEE’EM SEA WORKING NINE TO FIVE These are just registered names, call names are what puppies learn and these pups will mostly be handled as a group "puppy puppy" when I need their attention. Once you pick a puppy, if you have a name chosen, I'll start using that name for your pups training.

Spar delivered a beautiful litter of five puppies on August 18th. All are healthy and hungry. Two girls, one of which I'll be keeping, three boys.

Spar had a great checkup today and actually enjoyed her visit with the vet, getting lots of love and attention from all the techs. Ultrasound confirmed puppies onboard. All had fluttering little heartbeats and were at expected stages of development, well-placed in the uterine horns. It's difficult to get a count at this stage because it's possible to see the same thing twice and a small, focal vision of the ultrasound. But there's possibly five puppies. Spar'e health check was fantastic with no issues, other than she's not really fond of her maternity diet. That will change as the puppies start growing more and start demanding more of her resources.

Spar and Ozzy had a great checkup and Ozzy did his due diligence for Spar just before Father's Day. Ozzy also got his DNA records back and, just as his breeder showed me with his parent's tests, everything was clear. No surprises. His DNA is now posted on Good Dog. Spar goes in for her ultrasound on July 20th to verify that she's carrying puppies. I'll do another update then.
