7 weeks! Puppies went for a trip today. They were taken to the veterinary and they were very brave, as in the car, as well as in the funny institution with big needles. I had a bit less courage when I had to enter PIN to pay the bill, veterinary expenses were enormous. But for dogs, of course, only the best, that's why they eat high quality dry dog food and are given extra raw meat of best quality as well. However, I believe the best investment into them is my time: I spend as much time as possible with them (and no longer count my day off-s). Our puppies grow and live with the family, they're taken for a walk each day, they get to meet different people - from babies to seniors, hear different sounds (vacuum cleaner, tractor etc), they observe different movements - from bikers to strollers. One by one are taken out of litter to spend time with me and try first obedience tricks. I check their teeth, peek into ears, I brush and cuddle them. I distrurb them during feeding, bring & take away their toys, do funny things with them and end up smiling in tears. Real tears are about to come by the end of the week, when first puppies are about to leave us. Luckily we found great families with children and lots of love. For two perspective girls we are still looking for new owners. Interested? More info at jana.lorbek@gmail.com

New owners, are you ready for sweet little naughty buddies?

 

Have you ever seen puppies driving a car and using telephone? Here is a video you just have to see!

 

Puppies are turning 7 weeks on Tuesday. The best time to visit veterinary for vacination, getting chip + passport and donating blood for DNK analysis. Health is not a coincidence: DLVKOS and their partner Biotechnical Faculty work really hard to keep karst shepherds healthy.

Breedeng clerk, who brought us pedigree numbers yesterday, was amazed by puppies beauty. No wonder we are all totally in love with them!

Lana made a day for toddlers in a local kindergarten. She enjoyed their company a lot, but was kind of tired later (I agree, children may exhaust you;)), as she fell asleep as soon as we got home.

Puppies are developing rapidy and as a good breeder I do my best for their early learning and socialization. They were already brushed, distrurbed while eating meat - noone didn't mind, so my hand is still in one piece, taken out to several places, and they meet strangers almost daily. In 3 weeks, they are ready to go into new homes! 2 girls and 2 boys still available.

Puppies got their very first collars today. They didn't mind at all, they were too busy with nagging their siblings. Watch the video here. Eventhough they're sooooo big, they still love to cuddle with their mom.

 

How to weigh a puppy? Hard job! Kitchen scale said 'Error!' when Jena's little karst shepherds steped up. In 3 weeks, when they are about to leave us, they'll have around 7 kg. In a year, our girls will have around 30 kg (25-37 required by the standard) and boys app. 10 more (30-42 kg, source: www.dlvkos.si).

Two loving families visited us this weekend to 'book' their puppy. But even though the contract has been signed and puppies already eat solid food, it is very important for them to stay with their mother for next couple of weeks to socialize. One thing is for sure: they will love kids! Not only our little toddler, also friend's children come and cuddle them. And me & my husband can't take eyes off them. No wonder they grow so fast, love is the best 'food' ;)

Happy Birthday, dear puppies! 4 weeks. Allready a bit naughty, enjoying their first solid food and first sun. As a birthday present, they were taken outside for the first time. They were so astonished that they fell asleep ;)

 

As an editor of Slovenian's most famous magazine for dogs Kužek (Puppy) it is my pleasure to write an editorial and add my photo. How convenient it is to have dog models at home! They are just too big to all fit into my basket, so only 3 are represented. Have you picked your own one yet?

Cutest puppies ever! :)

Aren't they the cutest puppies ever?

Our puppies are gaining weight soooo fast, that we recommend new owners to start body-building before taking their buddy home ;)
