Six Weeks Old

It seems like spring has finally arrived after a long and cold winter the weather is finally starting to warm up. The puppies are growing up fast and are itching for more space to run and play so with the weather finally getting warmer the puppies can finally get outside.  The puppies had their first trip outside today and they seem to like outdoors.

Five Weeks Old

The puppies are already five weeks old and growing up fast.  They are a lot bigger now and moving around a lot; they don't really want to stand still for the camera but we are doing our best to take their picture. Below you can see the puppies playing in their pen.

Four Weeks Old

The puppies are already 4 weeks old and they are starting to eat solid food and walk. Piper is feeding them some still but she is happy that they puppies are become more independent. The puppies are also walking around a lot which means they are trying to escape from the whelping box.  Thus the pups have been upgraded into a much bigger pen where they can move around a lot more easily and most importantly not escape.

Three Weeks Old

The puppies are growing up so quickly not only do they have their eyes fully open they are also trying to get up and walk. The puppies are able to move around pretty well; it will not be long until the puppies start running all over the place. We are very pleased with how well all the puppies are growing.

Piper Is Top Show Braque Francais

Last year due to personal reasons we did not have a very active year competing in dog competitions however much to my surprise and delight we still had some great success. Piper is the top show dog for the Braque Francais in 2017 for the UKC (United Kennel Club) and the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club).  Piper got a second in group placement at the UKC show and a best in breed placement at the CKC show. We are very pleased with Pipers success, congratulations Piper!

One Week Old

The puppies are now one week old and what a busy first week they have had. All the puppies have been eating and growing at a steady rate and they have already had their first visit to the vet. At the vet the puppies had their tails docked and their dew claws removed. Since the Braque Francais type Pyrenees are working hunting dogs it is a good idea to dock their tails and remove their dew claws so that they do not break them in the field. The puppies are also growing fast all of them have gained at least a half a pound.
