Was planning to move the lil' black butterballs out of the whelping area into the puppy area today, but it was just too hot. Even with the fan, and mist, and shade, it was just too much. I had a full sized Blue Ice pack out there with them, and as many of them as could get onto it were squeezed up there!

So they're back inside in the AC for awhile. (Upper 90's forecasted for the foreseeable future.) And I won't be able to get many cute puppy pics in a kiddie pool in a poorly lit basement, but I'll see what I can do after this big birthday weekend is done...

Dew Claws are removed.

ENS (early neurological stimulation) Therapy is officially done, but I'm still doing ENS on occasion to transition them to experiencing it while they see me (and soon they'll hear me too.) That sets them up for food dish training and gate training and the rest.

Teeth are still on their way. Still on milk.

$1000 for males

$1200 for females

$300 down to hold, and the balance on exchange.

30th of August is the ideal go-home date. (I calculated wrong last time.)

Feel free to talk to any of my previous puppy customers... these are awesome dogs, and this whelping routine WORKS! They Listen!

I'll post pics and videos as I can. Contact me for pics and videos of prior litters to see the whelping/training process in detail. These really are "started puppies."

Definitely enjoying the AC… Mamma enjoys the pool on her potty breaks!

Nice.

My wife loves our Rainshadow Lab so much that she's lobbying to get another one.

We love our Rainshadow Lab.
Might have to make a deal on another pup and a TW200?

Two can be fun! Eliminates the only child syndrome! Granson may not like it at first though!

I'm sure we could work SOMETHING out!



Pups JUST opened their ears today, SO CUTE to see them all perk up for the first time when you call at them!

[rainshadow1]

The extended forecast just has no relief in sight, so I set up a cool room in the puppy area so we could get them outside. They seem to be enjoying it!

Kids (and their Mamma) are REALLY enjoying the AC!

Working on a deposit for the last Female. Will confirm when it's done, but it looks like only boys remaining.

Females from Leia’s litter are all reserved!

Males available. Feel free to contact me to discuss. Got some BEAUTIFUL black boys coming along!

Very cool, buddy. Looks like you're doing it right!

[rainshadow1]

The pups are weaning… not of their own volition, but mamma Leia is quickly tiring of the new little needle teeth!


They’ve been eating mush for two days now, going at it voraciously! I make them spend some lovie butt-scratching time with me, then put the food down without them noticing. It’s just all of a sudden there! I’ll transition them to waiting for it next week.

Tough to get pics, it’s SO hot! They’re either in the little cool area, or it’s dark! But I got some screen captures from some rough selfie stick video today. Got some beautiful black babies coming up in this batch! Gorgeous boys!

Male pups still available.

Excited about these boys, showing some stout built square headed development for 4 week olds!

The heat, and rescuing a teenager white golden retriever the other day, is slowing my puppy conditioning program a little bit, they need to just stay put in the puppy area for right now... but they're showing some great attentiveness and eye contact during the pre-feeding socializing sessions. They're ready for the work. Will be training gates and sit & hold and food release soon!
