The lovely Guppy is a mother again. A job she takes very seriously...
Guppy disappeared to have her pups... After a long day with the goats in a yard I came home and wondered where she had gone off to. Found her right away in the failed cistern with a freshly dug, nearly ready to go den carved out nearby...
...Inside the house they came...
To the crate in the living room to begin socialization...
The first few days are all about taking in sounds and smells through their slowly forming sensory system...
After day two or three we start "DT"
Desensitization Training...
These are short, consistent exercises where the pup is held upright, upside down, on their belly and on their back and touching the toes.. Each for three seconds and then followed by close contact-holding puppy close at the end... Add a little breath exchange and after a few weeks this creates a hardy, trusting individual that loves to be handled by people...
Papa Buck (Hart II's SunStar Buck) and granma Zuli (SunRay's High Desert Lazuli)... Just like their parents and grandparents these puppies will be able to work anything!
