Gemstone Exclusive Pups of Florida

First phase of potty training complete! A week ago the pups were introduced to revised living quaters which included a warm dry space for sleep and play and an area to eliminate. The pups adopted the concept of eliminating on the pee-pads within hours on the first day and have done so everyday thereafter. Today marks their 4wk b-day, so their nursery will undergo another transformation that will include a larger play area, a crate and grass tray for phase 2 of potty training. Stay tuned. 🥰

The Wookie babies turned 3 weeks old today which also marks the first official day of potty training. Yay! How it works is simple. Since they are still learning to walk, I prefer not to crate them until week 4, so today the pups started out with divided living quarters. I use pee pads on one side atop a bare floor with no mat, no warmth, no appeal. I layer the other side with multiple plush heated blankets and toys and all the comforts a pup could want. I keep this side dry as I consistently encourage them to travel to the cold unappealing pads to releive themselves after nursing. Soon enough they plant their scent on the pads, activating the natural instinct to avoid expelling where they sleep because now they've got options. They did excellent today and with gentle nudging, easily grasped the concept! They slept so good in their clean warm environment, something a pup desires. We will keep this up for the next several days. Next phase will be crate with faux grass trays to increase their hold time and in a few weeks the final phase will be an introduction to the yard with parent dogs as their guides. Give them a round of applause! Super proud of these Wookie Rockstars! 👏🥰

Look who's eyes are open, one day shy of two weeks old! Must be a load off for these little Wookies to finally see where they are going. Most of the pups are born with blue eyes, but only time will tell their true color. 🥰😍

Healthy, nurtured and happy babies. That is what matters most!

..and then there was one! Onyx the Ewok Malshi was the only male of Diamond and Jewel's litter and the last to soon find his forever home. For the time being, we've integrated him into the main living spaces with his parents and I couldn't be any more pleased with how well he has adapted. I hardly had to lift a finger. He is fully potty trained and understands commands superbly. This has allowed me to put to test how well he and his littermates have been trained. He's such a good boy with an amazing temperament. Good training in the early stages leads to healthy well-rounded dogs for a lifetime to come! He is having a blast keeping mom and dad busy with his youthful energy. So, we'll continue to keep the bonding going until you are ready to bring him home 😉 Puppy love is everything! 🐶❤️

Just sitting here reminiscing on fun times with the pups and figured I'd post these captured moments from weeks past. We dubbed this, "The Tunnel of Mayhem" and was definitely a pup fav! At one point, we had two tunnels winding through their living quaters. The babes would spend hours napping, wrestling, zooming, and battling over toys in the tunnel. It was part of their Agility and Coordination training, but so much doggone fun they couldn't tell the difference. 🤷‍♀️😆❤️

Photo shoot with Jade today just incase you were wondering how stunningly beautiful she is. 😍 Rare color Malshi, petite pup with little button nose and tiny features. Stellar temperament and fully potty trained. I took a dozen pics because she's just so stinking gorgeous at any angle. 🥰
