Tori’s CKCS puppies are 6 weeks old

Tori’s puppies are finally eating 3 good meals a day – I find that as they gain confidence in eating on their own, they also grow confidence in life. When they play outdoors now, they are excited to get out and about and explore.

We are starting to see little hints of personality come forth which is really fun too. Salsa and Tamale are the boldest and first to explore while Nacho is always scrambling to be on my knee. Miss Pico is a little more independent and Churro and Taco like to hang back and watch. We shall see more information as they have their Volhard temperament test next week.

Enjoy the photos from this week – they wanted to explore these rocks so badly, and not just sit on them for photos. I am starting to wonder if my days of taking photos of them by themselves are coming to an end.

Enjoy the 6 week photos of Tori and Charlie’s little love nuggets.

Paige’s puppies official first photos

Paige took to being a mommy so well – her poor inverted nipples made latching hard work, but once we got them on, they nursed vigorously. They are now 1 week old and approaching doubling their birth weight so that makes me very happy.

The two girls are so much bigger than the boy, but he holds his own so we are not concerned about him much.

Since Murphy’s AKC name is “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” we decided to name them after Irish landmarks/places.

Introducing

Girl one (darker) – Ennis

Girl 2: (lighter) Derry

Boy : Dublin

Tori and Charlies CKCS puppies are 5 weeks old

Tori is doing a wonderful job allowing the babies to grow up. When we take her outside with them for 10-15 mins at a time, she shows them how to play and gives them confidence. She is dancing away more and more as they try to nurse, and so I am glad the puppies are starting to eat better on their own now.

The weather continues to be beautiful in the PNW, allowing good time for playing outdoors each day.

Enjoy the photos of Tori’s cavalier king charles puppies as they are now 5 weeks old.

Tori and Charlie’s cavalier puppies are a week old

1 Comment

Tori is doing a wonderful job raising her babies. With 6 hungry babies, we are working hard to keep her eating, but without giving her a stomach upset. it’s a fine balance.

Since the babies were mostly born on Cinco De Mayo, I have gone with that very obvious theme

Without further ado – introducing

Girl 1 (pink collar) Salsa

Girl 2 (purple collar) – Churro

Girl 3 (tri) Pico

Boy 1 (yellow) – Nacho

Boy 2 (blue) Tamale

Boy 3 (green) Taco

Tori and Charlie welcome their cavalier babies to the world

For those who know me well, I have had a journey of ups and downs in my cavalier king charles breeding program. I have had many missed pregnancies, and re-absorbed puppies or puppies that have been DOA. Breeding is not for the faint of heart at the best of times, but sometimes it feels like the stars are not alinging.

Miss Tori is almost 3, and fully health tested. This was her first litter, and between you and me, she isnt the best eater. I was not sure how pregnancy would go for her. Surprisingly she took to pregnancy quite well and was looking rather round. I suspected maybe 6 on board.

Cavaliers are a little sneaky and like to give birth on day 58-61 rather than waiting the full 63 days, so when she started to show some signs of digging and restlessness on day 60 I watched her even closer than I had been before.

I slept overnight beside her, but it wasn’t until Tuesday that it seemed like things were kicking into gear. She didn’t want me to leave her side and wanted to pee frequently – both favorable signs.

The snood around her ears protects her ears from getting tangled/mucky during the birth process.

Around 9pm she started to push actively and at 9:20pm we had our first baby – a little girl

by 10:15pm she had her second little girl

By this stage I was surprised we got 2 blenheims – so when baby girl 3 came and it was a tri, I was so excited – another girl

I was starting to think maybe we were going to have a litter of all girls, but no baby 4 was a boy

Then another blen boy at 12:15

And one final boy arrived just after 1.

Tori was an absolute rockstar and already loves her babies – she licks them and pushes them close to her.

The cavalier puppies experience their first snow day

It’s officially spring. But this morning the heavens opened up and it decided to give us a large dusting of snow. As I type this, it is about 6 inches deep and still snowing.

We donned their little jackets and out we went. We didn’t stay too long as I didn’t want them to be cold, but boy oh boy they had so much fun.

The cavalier puppies are almost ready to go home

The cavalier pups are so delightful – they go with the flow with anything that is thrown at them. This last weekend we ventured down to Salem Oregon to a dog show. They slept in crates overnight with no potty boxes and kept it clean and dry all night long. Boy were they fast to pee and poop when we let them out in the wee hours of the morning 🙂

They were seen by a regular vet, and an ophthalmologist and all is clear and well – yippee. Now onto their heart check ups with Dr Woodfield this week – I am hoping for good news there too before they go to their amazing new homes. All three of these pups will be deeply missed and are going to the most incredible homes.

Enjoy their final photos of them with me together as babies <3

Ruby and Piper’s cavalier puppies play in the garden

It was a lovely spring day (yes, I am excited that it is officially spring) and so we took some photos in the green garden.

These little cavalier pups are heading to their first opthlamologist appointment this week to have an eye check – then they will see a cardiologist too. This is standard procedure for all Kazuri cavalier puppies so we have all the information we need before they set off to their forever homes.

These pups have the most amazing families waiting to bring these sweet little pups home.

Manny (Piper x Tater Tot) 10 weeks

Holly (Charlie x Ruby) 9 weeks

Mistletoe (Charlie x Ruby) 9 weeks

The Cavalier puppies have their Blue Chair Shoot

Anyone who follows me knows how much I love the blue chair as it makes every puppy’s color pop – I just love photos taken on it.

Manny is 9 weeks now and Mistletoe and Holly are 8 weeks. It felt like a good time to take their photos.

In the coming weeks, they will have their opthamologist and cardiologist appointments (Standard go home protocol for my ckcs puppies) and start learning how to crate train. I am amazed at how fast these weeks start to go as we enjoy them so much.

The cavalier puppies love playing outside

Manny, Holly and Mistletoe are growing so fast. They are learning new skills like teetering on uneven surfaces, navigating stairs, following when we call, and eating on their own (yes this is a skill they have to learn).

The weather is mild this week so they have been able to play outside without their little jackets on – they are SO happy! They run around and chew on each other’s ears and tails – more than anything, it is delightful to see their happy little bounces as they enjoy the fresh air.

All three are social and happy. Their little personalities are starting to emerge. I cant wait to see the results of their Volhard tests and see how right I am about their baseline.

We have one ruby cavalier girl available to the right home. She is more reserved in nature – friendly, but likes to watch rather than initiate. I think she would do amazing in a home where she is the 2nd dog, to follow, or with a more quiet home that wants a snuggle bug.
