With such a large litter – there are 3 sittings. The two smalllest have a private session with Addie as Keifer looks on. The rest of the puppies are divided into 2 groups .The girls nurse with Mom while the boys are bottlefed and begin play/ eating their “smoothies” and then 2 hours later we switch!
When you are 2 weeks old just eating is enough to totally exhaust you! Here one of the little girls demonstrates what true puppy fatique looks like!
Here are some of the boys resting after a strenuous session of bottle feeding! The girls and boys are rotated every 3 hours now- while one group is bottle fed – the other group is with Addie. It is hectic to say the least!Relief is in sight- in another 10 days the Baby Bergers will begin to feed themselves with an occasional top up from Mom and the bottle!
I am heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of our beloved Balki.
Balki was the kindest boy- he touched so many lives in his capacity of a Therapy dog. He worked at the Grimsby library, inner city Hamilton schools and visited many nursing homes. He was a true ambassador for the breed and I will miss him terribly. Balki I will see you at the Rainbow Bridge my dear, sweet boy.
Well it was a true Labour Day for Addie! She had 15 Baby Bergers!!! Daddy Gulliver is thrilled with his 8 little girls and 7 boys!
Due to the unexpected litter size we will have puppies available. Please contact us if you would like more information.
Addie is resting up for the big event @ 4 days away! .Daddy Gulliver( Starhavens All I want For Christmas) is waiting by the phone in Virginia to learn about his new baby bergers!
