Well, we bred for red and boy did we get it!!! As you can see
from the pictures, these are tremendously dark red puppies. They all have
had copper since the moment they were born! It was a challenge to get the
pictures.....they are much like photographing solid black dogs! And no, I
didn't take
just take one set of pictures and repaste them for the 4 solid red puppies -
these are all individual pictures!!!! Yes....they do look a lot
alike!
People have asked, "how are
these puppies raised?"
Our puppies are raised in the
house, in the middle of all that goes on. For the first 2-3 weeks of their
life they are actually in the whelping pen....that is in our guest bedroom.
And that is where I sleep (or not) for that time period. Then, the gang is
moved out into the kitchen area where they get to see all the "goings-on"
and hear all the wonderful house noises, dishes clanking, pots and pans
banging, the dishwasher running the ice maker throwing the ice around and
all sorts of things. Their space comes complete with a TV where they get to
watch soap operas (wonderful because someone is always either crying or
yelling) and the Animal Planet! Once they get to 3-4 weeks....they get to
see the great outdoors...the courtyard is all theirs! More about what their
outside world is like later on....
As always, we are using the Bio Sensor Method with
this litter. A bit more about this method:
The
U.S. Military in their canine program developed a method that still serves
as a guide for raising grounded puppies. In an effort to improve the
performance of dogs used for military purposes, a program called "Bio
Sensor" was developed. Later, it became known to the public as the "Super
Dog" Program. Based on years of research, the military learned that early
neurological stimulation exercises could have important and lasting effects.
Their studies confirmed that there are specific time periods early in life
when neurological stimulation has optimum results. The first period involves
a window of time that begins at the third day of life and lasts until the
sixteenth day. It is believed that because this interval of time is a period
of rapid neurological growth and development, and therefore is of great
importance to the individual.
Getting puppies started right provides
huge advantages later in their lives.
The benefits observed in dogs started with
the Bio sensor method include:
Improved cardiovascular performance
Stronger heart beats
Stronger adrenal glands
More tolerance to stress; and,
Greater resistance to disease
In tests
of learning, stimulated pups were found to be more active and were more
exploratory than their non- stimulated littermates over which they were
dominant in competitive situations. Secondary effects were also noted
regarding test performance. In simple problem solving tests using detours in
a maze, the non-stimulated pups became extremely aroused, wined a great
deal, and made many errors. Their stimulated littermates were less disturbed
or upset by test conditions and when comparisons were made, the stimulated
littermates were more calm in the test environment, made fewer errors and
gave only an occasional distress when stressed.
This is a co-bred litter with Kay Gentzler of SCF Aussies and Jo Kell of Rockin'K Aussies.
The puppies are being raised here in New Mexico. These puppies should grow up true to the standard
with dynamite structure, awesome movement, high intelligence, medium bone and medium coats.
The temperaments should be very biddable with strong work ethic for
performance.
This all red litter brings together some outstanding
bloodlines with the potential to do it all.
