The puppies are two weeks old today! We started ENS and ESI training during the first week, but it’s been a lot with managing their feeds, their weight, and of course taking their pictures. Puppies have had their dew claws removed, their nails trimmed, fresh new collars, and all have doubled their weight. Noel and Donner have started opening their eyes; the rest will soon follow!

Welcome to the third post in our Memory Lane mini-series! We are recapping our previous four litters as we wait for the arrival of Elio's second litter in December 2025. Elio's first litter arrived just four days after Elio and her pack siblings turned three years old in late April 2025. Elio had TWELVE puppies throughout the night.

Welcome back to the Memory Lane mini-series! This is the second post as we wait for Elio's second litter to come! This post is Ginger's second litter, December 2022. It's particularly special because Elio's second litter is expected to arrive within a week after this litter's 3rd birthday! Nearly three years ago, Ginger delivered 9 puppies. She was bred with the same stud, Artemis, and just as we saw in her first litter, all four colors were born! Three females, six males. On
