Our whole family loves it when there are cute puppies around to snuggle! Recently, Rachel, Josiah and Gabriel and I spent some time with Frieda's puppies who were then 2 weeks old. They're eyes were just starting to open. Later on during the day, Gabriel and I got out Annora's 1 week puppies for some snuggling. Gabriel's smile says everything! He absolutely adores tiny puppies. They are so cuddlely at this age and they don't…
We are still taking reservations for male puppies, so if you are interested, contact us here. On March 16th, when making the usual rounds of weighing Frieda's puppies, feeding and watering Frieda and all the chores that go along with having a litter of puppies, we noticed that Annora was panting heavily and doing a lot of pacing. It did seem like she might be starting pre-labour, which can last as long as 24 hours.…
We are taking reservations for male puppies, so if you are interested, contact us here. Spring is arriving and with it comes sugaring season. Frieda's March 12th due date was also fast approaching. March 10th began as a busy day gathering maple sap. We also had a birthday party planned for the evening... and Frieda had her own plans! :)After getting home from the sugar woods, I went to get cleaned up. Elizabeth went down to…
Annora and Nadja were recently enjoying one of the last days of winter before all the snow melted away. It has been so fun to see how excited Nadja is by the new sensation of grass under her feet. Nadja really enjoys having three "Aunties" to spend time with. She wishes, though, that they would play with her more. Annora, Frieda and Ajla are far too grown-up to join in her romping and goofing off. …
On February 8th, we had the privilege of aquiring from the Viadei kennel a beautiful long-coat puppy. Her name is Nadja, daughter of Damon vom Roten Diego (VA Gavin vom Hasenborn) and Ilya von Viadei (V18 Achilleus vom Kapellenberg)We're really excited about this new addition to our kennel. Hopefully, in the near future we will have 100% long-coat litters from this gorgeous female. 10 weeks old 10 weeks old

Ajla's two male puppies were born on Monday, June 16th. Ajla is an experienced mom and it shows. She's very devoted to her pups and they have been growing very rapidly. Here's some photos of how they have changed over the first 2 weeks of their lives. 2 days old 1 1/2 weeks old 2 weeks oldIt always amazes me how much theses little guys change in just 2 weeks! In that small amount of…
Frieda's puppies are now 2 1/2 weeks old. They have changed so much! Now their eyes are open, they can hear now and they are walking, albeit a little stumbly sometimes. They are also starting to play together. So cute!https://youtu.be/uHuQzTfDXbs
Frieda's 1st litter was born last Monday, the 24th of March. The first puppy was average in size and was born naturally. The second puppy, on the other hand, was much too large and had to be delivered via cesarean. The surgery did go well and the puppy was delivered just in time. Now both male puppies are growing well. https://youtu.be/VC0B0AwnuEo
It has been a cold -15 C degrees here this past week, but that didn't prevent Annora and the children spending some time playing out in the snow. We sometimes get asked if German Shepherd Dogs need winter jackets when they go out in the winter. No, not at all! German Shepherd Dogs LOVE winter! During the winter they grow of very thick, dense coat of fur. Only on the coldest of days will their…
