Lots of visitors to help socialize puppies!

Sharon visited again, and this time, she brought her grandchildren!
First they met Winston.
Then they met Clyde.
They each got to hold all of the puppies.
The puppies got cuddled and squeezed.
And lots of loving attention.
Later, my neighbors came, and See See actually nursed the puppies while they visited.

Happy 3rd birthday to Clyde, See See and all of Jane’s babies born 2/6/21

See See outside patrolling. Her five babies are inside, so she has to let the world know she is in charge of the backyard.

If you have one of Clyde and See See’s littermates, send me an up to date pic that I can post!

Visitors on GSD puppies’ 3 week birthday, helping to socialize

Luke got to pet all the puppies again today. Here he is with the smallest girl who is absolutely adorable! He’s going to come back once a week to watch them grow up.
Liz, who’s helps me with handling when I have one too many dogs to go back in the ring, is considering a puppy.
Lol, that’s Sharon, who helped me so much on delivery day. See See loves her!

Colored collars

The babies got their identifying collars today in the form of “rick-rack”. The biggest boy is light blue, and the slightly smaller two boys are red and green. The larger girl is white, and the smaller girl is pink. They also got their first worming today with weights and dosages recorded. The largest boy is 4 lbs 15oz, and the smallest girl is 4 lbs.

Potential owner visiting

My neighbor brought his son to preview my litter of 5 GSDs. Luke, their youngest, has been wanting one of See See’s puppies for over a year. He wants a boy, and he’s going to name him Duke (yes, Luke and Duke). He got to greet See See, hold all of them, and watch them nursing.

These puppies will be ready to go about the first of March. If you are interested in a puppy, please contact me at Morganshep@aol.com or call/text 304-610-7172

Adorable GSD baby pictures

See See’s puppies are 10 days old today. Eyes aren’t open yet, but they will open any day now. If they are not eating, they are sleeping!

I couldn’t have arranged them better myself.
See See is always watchful over her babies.
In this pic you can see the cardboard underneath the bedding that I use for added insulation. We have had some super cold nights in the past week.

A bit of early socialization

My friend Sharon came to visit, and she held all of the puppies and talked to them. In this video you can hear Clyde whining in the background, wanting to join in the fun.

You can see a splash of white on this boy’s chest
Sharon helped with the birth of the puppies and aftercare of See See. She was glad to hold each one, and to know they have doubled their birth weights in a week.

5 Out of 10

There are 5 beautiful healthy puppies. See See gave birth to 10 puppies today, but, despite my diligence and the help of very knowledgeable friends, 5 could not be saved. This is the heartbreak of being a breeder. It happens in large litters sometimes, and in a way, it is good for See See to have only 5 to keep track of as a first time mom. She is an excellent mother so far, as was her mother, Jane, and grandmother, Nellie. See See is so instinctive and just plain wonderful.

I’m planning on revamping this website in order to focus on this litter. I will be able to add video as the puppies are growing like I did for my last litter, three years ago. Here are a couple of pictures of See See with her 5 babies with a promise of more to come! I gotta get some sleep!

The answer is: 9 OR 10

See See is going to have 9 or 10 puppies per Dr. Miller at Crossroads West Veterinary Center! When there are that many, it really is hard to tell. See See seems fine with all the fuss! Due date is approximately January 10, 2024
