Very warm yesterday! Nice wet blanket to cool down this guy (he wore it round the house)
Only disadvantage of nice big bifolds is its too exciting to go play (first World problems). Fortunately he respects these gates he's had since a puppy (now 11months) .... Even though he could easily jump them.
Cali! (though I now mostly refer to her as a little Calzone)
She's a 9 month old Working English Cocker Spaniel. She was the runt of her litter but it seems she is just refusing to grow much more! Last time out to the vets they weighed her in at just under 8KG. Her brother from the same litter is now about 16KG!
She's ace though. Literally just a sentient bit of energy with fur and legs. As long as we walk her at lunch and again after work she just snoozes on the sofa or beanbag. Everyone said we were mad for getting a working dog but I wouldn't change her!
A proud father moment teaching her how to catch. She's now more obsessed with balls than she is treats!
Yep they're totally nuts lol! Possibly not quite as nuts as a Springer Spanner but getting there
Taking Hazel (my Cockapoo) to the vets on Monday for an ultrasound scan - see how many pups she's hiding in that rotund belly of hers. That will be day 31 after mating. Maybe won't give an accurate number but at least it will show if there are pups in there. Having a sweepstake on how many - I'm guessing 8.
What ludicrous price will you be charging for the pups out of interest?
I'm hoping most will go to family and friends (and daughter's friends), I'm more concerned that they go to a good home than price. I'll be keeping one myself and that's the main reason for breeding her. I know the average asking price for a puppy is ridiculous now but there are so many lockdown pups being sent to rescue places it makes me want to cry. My concern is for the welfare of Hazel's pups and I don't care if they go for nothing provided it's to a good forever home. If I can recover my costs (vet fees, stud fees) I'll be happy
