We have a colorful, healthy litter of ten pups, five boys and five girls! Sugar was a champ, and once again, shows superior mothering skills, attending to her babies with gentle diligence. And it amazes me how its not too soon, even at a day or two old, to begin pack discipline, with a little, low, almost-whispered growl for a pup who wiggles toward mama's food or water dish.
We would otherwise have all the pups in the barn so that they can be full exposed to the goats, but with daytime temps hovering in the 90s, mom wasn't able to keep her temp regulated, so the gang has been inside. Bambi, the littlest goat, will be invited to meet the pups today, and once Sugar has has another day or two to recover, the pups and mom will return to camp in the barn.
See my ad on eBay Classified Kansas City for information on how to reserve a pup. And stay tuned in the next few days for updates on the early training process my puppies go through!
