Last one is home😊 Kevin is joining as a 3rd Avonwolf in the family! Jenny was competing with Avonwolf Deliverance at the FMBB IGP qualifier for the world championship 2023 this weekend. She didn’t want to upset Del with a new puppy before her first big trial which is understandable and the reason Kevin is home as the last of the 8. Well they QUALIFIED and they’re going to Rumania next year to represent team GB!! Massive congratulations!

This means the last pup has left us now and we’ll have a bit more peace coming our way lol wishing everyone a healthy and happy life, keep us posted on the K’s.

Me and the gang are off on a short break to Scotland now after all this lol and then Mama Mo has another Cadaver course next weekend now that her mama duties are over 🙂

15-10-22

Time to say good bye to the K’s it has been lush (and loud lol) with you guys, wishing you the very best for the future. Stay in touch and stay healthy 🙂 ❤ Kevin (Mr. Grey) is coming with me today we’re off to the FMBB qualifier for next years world championship team where his new mum is competing with aunty Avonwolf Deliverance. He will go home with them once the competition is over so we’re not upsetting aunty Del when she must be at her best focus 🙂

Soooo only a few days before the K’s are all moved out. They’ve gone very big, they climb out of the pen (yes they do!) and they are rather loud lol. Mojo is still trying to go in and throw up her food after she eats for them , they are demanding it. So I have to lock her up a couple of hours after feeding her, because what happens is the pups are getting fed double and triple and Mo is going skinny! They are chunky monkeys. Last worming has been started so by the time they leave they are all up to date. It’s time for them to start they’re journey now 🙂 and time for Mojo to go back to work – we’re on a course next weekend back to her Victim Recovery course. As much as it was a great time with the K’s I think I speak for the whole neighbourhood when I say we are looking forward to some good sleep again lool.

07-10-22

Some of the pups came to work with me this morning for some more getting used to driving and some socialising. Always works with puppies lol here is Mr. Brown snogging the warrant officer 🙂 and also how fabulous does mama look this short after giving birth?? ❤

06-10-22

Everyday is an adventure day 😊 new environments are important.

04-10-22

They are chomping on full chicken carcasses meanwhile.

6 weeks old today!

A very busy morning of paperwork since picks have been made now. Contracts all written and all paperwork is in order now ready for pick ups. Third wormer completed, microchipped yesterday we’re right on track :).

Then we’ve spent the day at the dog club with lots of people and dogs.

30-09-22

I will attempt picks today! Whilst I will microchip them today I will also run little tests with them so I can match them as good as possible to their future working roles. Having had some good conversations with all future owners I believe I have a good understanding where they are going and what characteristics will suit best.

Mama Mo is looking great and getting back into shape now as well.

29-09-22

Must be getting closer to that time…. Puppy packs are ready…

27-09-22

Vet checks today! Took them to the awesome Richard at Arvonia vets (the only guy I trust with my dogs lol). He loved them all! They all are in perfect health but some have a little umbilical hernia. I wanted him to have a look and advise me but he says they are all small and not in need of any action. I’ve had them before with Xia’s litters, some have a little bump on their belly and non have ever become a problem of any sort just a little beauty fault. They can be stitched together once they are a little older if people want to, some might even close on their own but for now they are way to little to have beauty surgery. It might be genetic, Mojo had it too but another part of me thinks she might have ripped the cord a little too strong at birth whilst being a inexperienced mum. Anyway I’m happy that Richard has checked them all and is super happy with their health :).

25-09-22

Lots of visitors are coming and going currently and this will carry on during the coming week. That’s because they are still bareable to be in with atm lol. They’ve had several different meats and seem to do well on all of it. I’ve given them beef, lamb, salmon and chicken, today for the first time pieces of chicken to proper chomp on.

23-09-22

The busy visitor week has begun 🙂

22-09-22

Individuals at 5.5 weeks old

21-09-22

Weaning off is going well, Mojo is only topping them off with some milk every now and then. Although I have to lock her away after every meal I give her since she wants to go in the pen and throw it up for them. She’s an awesome mum! Today I saw her bloody nipples after she let them have a little milk and now I’m calling it! Piranhas they are!!

20-09-22

After a busy weekend with the first new owners visiting we’re now on another adventure trip!

A barn experience for the pups whilst we camp and do nightshifts with the adult dogs. One at least stays with the pups at all times whilst the others patrol with me. Day and night time in the hay for the pupsters.

Traveling is absolutely normal for them by now, they go to sleep as soon as the van moves. No car sickness or anything, that’s why it is so important to start them early 👊🏻.

I‘ve put them on beef mince now, they‘ve had a week of salmon which they do great on now it’s time to introduce the next meat. They demolished that in seconds! It’s a yes for beef from the K‘s lol and the food drive is top too😁.

17-09-22

Adventure trip to the dog club today where they’ve met a load of different dogs and people. We’ve had a BBQ and they were right on the trainings field where gun shots were fired, protection training was going on and everything – they’ve done awesome!

4 weeks old today, second worming completed and Mojo is done lol. She has thrown up her dinner for them this evening which shows that they need to be weaned off completely now so she can stop her milk. On it, we’ll achieve that in the next 7 days.

15-09-22

Always the very first to meet them is Louise and Liam the neighbours children. Before they turn into little gators 🙂

14-09-22

Pedigrees and papers already here! Can’t fault the KC this time.

13-09-22

Feeding is going very well, they are outside from morning to evening now regardless of the weather.

12-09-22

First time solids today! Salmon minced to my surprise they all dug into it straight away. Defenitely time to wean mama off slowly, she is not just bored of feeding them she is also looking very skinny, they are taking it out of her.. Besides the fact she is getting about 4kg meat a day it all goes straight to the pups. I’m building her back up now and slowly wean them off. Will start with feeding twice a day and Mojo can do between feeds. Also a nail cut is due from the little ones so Mo dosen’t get too scratched. Poor mama with 8 Maligators hanging off her!

09-09-22

First trip in the van and a little adventure for the pups. Three days working away and sleeping in the caravan for the pups, let’s get this party started 😁 3 weeks old tomorrow.

08-09-22

They had their first little outing in the garden before the rain kicked in. Seems like they approved 🙂 Also a bigger pen for inside was required.

The weaning is also not far off, I could start now, but Mo has a lot of milk which is the best for them. She is starting to go in a lot less now so I’ll judge by her and the noise levels wether she needs help.

06-09-22

Lots is happening! They are walking now and they are getting louder 🙂 The whelping box is gone and they have the pen as some broke out as expected lol. They’ve already had they’re swabs done for testing SDCA, that’s sent off to Animal Diagnostics so we can work out who’s better suited for breeding. SDCA is in 2/3 of the breed, they only found out a few years ago (I helped create the SDCA2 test) now our mission is to breed it out wherever possible.

04-09-22

03-09-22

2 weeks old today! First worming is due and they are getting mobile now, I can also hear them louder and louder lol. Not long and I need to set the pen up as I’m expecting the first escapes to be not very far away at all. Mojo wants to have a good run a day again as well now, she’s ever so sad if everyone goes out and she has to stay on mum duties so every now and then I take her and one of the girls are on babysit duties. The whole pack loves them, Granny Lucy checks on them when Mo s in the garden and auntie Xia also checks in first thing in the morning making sure they’re all ok. But they’re both very respectful, if Mo is around they give her the space as she’s still very protective of them. Daddy Keith also keeps an eye on them but more from a distance lol. Lovely pack mentally ❤

02-09-22

Collar upgrade and therefor I’ve tried individual pics but that’s way easier said then done lol.

31-08-22

Yesterday I saw the first eyes to open. Mr. Blue started to blink at me, quite early, these pups seem well ahead of everything, little fatty Guinea pigs :). Mo clearly has plenty of milk, so pleased she’s had 8 and not more for her first litter! Well today quite a few pups started to open their eyes, have a look here

28-08-22

Today Miss purple is the first to crack the 1kg mark 🙂 they’re putting on weight very nicely. Mojo is getting short of 2kg meat a day atm, she’s putting out about 600g of milk a day. I’m ordering in some salmon again to get ready for they’re first solids in a couple of weeks time.

26-08-22

All going well, they are putting on weight very nicely. Mojo is a fab mum, mother role suits her well even though she’s busy all round with patrolling the garden and everything lol. Back to herself fully already just doing motherhood besides her busy life 🙂

Paperwork is already sent off to the kennel club, pretty sure they’ll be back in time now that we’re this rapid. I will reveal the kennel names once they’ve been accepted.

23-08-22

Well as lovely as it all went yesterday morning Mo decided to be bored of the puppy room by the afternoon ON DAY TWO!! Usually they’re in there a week or two but of course Mojo was worried of missing out on stuff…. Okaay so off we move to the living room and madame is happy again – no comment lol.

22-08-22

Everyone is doing great! They are putting on weight nicely, Mojo is doing a great job but also already patrolling the garden again!! I have removed a couple of back dew claws this morning, only two had them, the back/unattached ones, we don’t need them and they’re at risk of being pulled out with bad injuries once they’re older. Not much else to report at this stage but I’m very pleased how they are drinking so I’m hoping/thinking we’re over the first few critical days 🙂

All puppies are reserved

20-08-22

Day 62/63

Friday night we go to bed around 11 ish and Mo is in my bed lol (yes I’ve been giving her a bit of comfort being a first time mum the last few nights). Around 3am I wake up as she’s very unsettled and started shaking – I knew it’s kick out time 🙂

Mojo started whining and contracting, she did not like the idea of the whelping box.. there was a lot of try to have them in the garden in the dent she built over the last few days.. But yes I didn’t let her of course and locked her in the puppy room. She tried every corner of the room clearly not being satisfied but once Boy number one appeared at 3.22 she made peace with the whelping box. I give him the blue collar. She was a little spooked with this little creature at first, not knowing how to help him, being a little clumsy, stepping on him being a little harsh with him, just finding her role as a first time mum. I was very pleased as number two arrived, usually after that it gets better so after what felt like AGES at 4.06 miss purple arrives luckily and now she is getting better phew! 4.50am Mr. grey arrives and so we carry on roughly in one hour gaps when suddenly she speeds up and throws out Mr. Brown at 5.22 followed by 5.35 yellow girl and also white girl 6.03 and black girl at 6.47. She dosen’t quite look done to me at that stage but clearly exhausted and ready for a break. Apart from a little help with pulling them out (they are big! Weights are between 320g – 440g nicely even) at the first couple Mo did a absolutely fantastic job all by herself! I was right next to her but mainly for butler duties such as water and food servant :). The odd pulling a pup out from underneath whilst another was born but all in all she did it like a Pro – super proud of my girl. Anyway after number 7 and a long break I decide to go to bed at 8am, I’ve been napping between pups next to her but was looking forward to my bed and giving her some peace. I’m not fully happy yet as she just dosen’t quite look done to me yet but I have my baby cam with me and the door is open so I can hear her right next door. When I get up to check again around 11 there is number 8 🙂 turquoise boy clearly was no problem and I was not needed. NOW I’m happy, she looks done, happy and content in her role. I’m exhausted and extremely happy and proud of my girl ❤️.

19-08-22

Day 61/63

We are ready 🙂 Exciting!! Mo has had a picky appetite for the last few days but today she’s left the middle meal out. No room!!

I’m not taking temperature, I’m home now and we’re ready whenever she feels like it. She’s built a den in the garden…. couldn’t find her for ages!!

16-08-22

Day 58/63

We have been soooo busy! Just got back from Boomtown and it was HOT Mo is getting more and more uncomfortable and it is time for maternaty leave 🙂

We’re expecting the little ones this weekend so home run now – exciting!!!

13-08-22

Day 55/63

We‘re at Boomtown festival!

01-08-22

Day 43/63

Mo is feeling the heat, I think she’s exaggerating a little tbh and milk the pregnancy lol. It’s all very hard work until there is something to chase and all the extra weight is suddenly no problem at all😆.

She‘s definitely a little fatty now, quite early… so I think there are quite a few in there!

21-07-22

We went for a scan today at our friend Sharon’s and happy to announce Mojo is pregnant with what looks like a healthy litter of at least 6 pups – exciting!!!

13-07-22

Scan booked for the 21st with Sharon. We’re feeling positive, Mo is protecting her belly, not much rough and tumble play with the others now. She’s moody if they get too close to her belly! Also she’s slightly starting to loose her tuck so fingers crossed. 🙂

22-06-22

We‘re at Glastonbury working GP security, didn’t think we‘d have another mating but they tied again at the festival🙊.

Last mating with the Glastonbury spirit!

21-06-22

Mojo was covered by Keith daily since Sunday with nice long 20-30 minute ties.

19-06-22

They’ve had a 20 minute tie this morning in the garden after a lot of flirting the whole of last night 🙂

The K-litter is with Trixy van het Dreiland (Mojo) and Avonwolf Al Capone Keith.

Update: Mojo has been bred to Keith 19-06-22

I’m expecting dogs with extreme drives, medium in size and a great will to please. These dogs should suit any type of working home – no lazy homes lol they are both with super stamina to go all day.
