Hessonite Fingers Crossed (Nancy) was mated to Putjade Pajazzo (Billy)

Nancy is the sweetest natured girl who is an excellent example of the breed and combined with the handsome Billy who is equally good natured we have produced some really super puppies.  Both parents have been health tested (see below) and as both parents have been tested clear for progressive retinal atrophy (GR_PRA1) it means that the puppies will be genetically clear from this condition too.

Nancy has been lightly shown and gained many 1st's and qualified for crufts - Billy has done very well gaining a CC which is a great achievement and was well deserved.

The puppies all have wonderful profiles and excellent pigment... I am really pleased with how they are developing

The puppies had their first taste of real food today - steak tartare which is an ideal first weaning food... it only lasted a few seconds and they were looking for more!!

**********

As you can see the puppies now have a super sized play run in our dining room which now resembles a nursery!!  A lot of time is spent sleeping!!  Next week the puppies will start getting around a lot faster and be generally more active.... its a lovely age watching them discover all manner of things :)

Puppies are now 3 1/2 weeks old and I have started weaning them on to raw minced steak.... it doesn't hang around long!!!

They are all getting the hang of toilet training...  :)
