Puppies 6 Weeks Old

Vet Visit and UPDATED INFO!!!
We took all six of the puppies to the vet on Saturday June 8th. They are all doing fine. They have to go back on June 22nd so we will be taking them that morning for a final deworming and they will be cleared to go to their new owners at that point with their health certificates.  Their go home date has been pushed back to June 22nd which is only a day longer than we initially told everyone. We will be taking them early so everyone can pick up their puppy around noon or after.

As far as their growth, etc, they are all doing well. They are all eating hard food without it being moistened two-three times a day and they are pretty much off of their mother's milk. They are all doing well with concerns to knowing to go outside and go potty, but still too little for accidents not to happen when left for too long. We are working with them to swim, fetch, and come on command. Less than two weeks to go!

Make sure you check us out on Facebook as some of you have already done for more pics than we have here as well as more updates during the week.

Puppies 6 Weeks

Puppies 5 Weeks Old - All SOLD

The puppies are doing wonderfully. They are ahead of schedule as far as their taking to hard food and we have been throttling back their intake of milk. They are running around now and getting into everything as puppies do.

All of the puppies have found good homes and will be going to their new homes on June 21st! We will still be updating this site with pictures until (and hopefully after) they go to their new homes. Also if you were unable to get a puppy this time follow us on Twitter to receive updates about the next litter as well as to see how these puppies are doing as they go off and meet their new families. We would like to thank the families that have come out and seen the puppies and taken the time to really show their dedication not only to having the best new family member ever, but also to the breed itself.

Puppies 4 Weeks Old

Puppies are halfway there!!!

The Puppies are now 4 weeks old. They will be 8 weeks old and ready to go to their new homes on June 21, 2013. You may contact us for further details. Call us at 904-377-8280 and if no answer you can either text or leave a voice mail. We will schedule visits on the weekends between now and June 21st if you would like to come meet your potential new family member and introduce them to your own family. We will be taking deposits of $150 to reserve your puppy. All are healthy and will be going to the vet in 2 weeks. Please make sure to check out our other pictures and information we have listed.

UPDATE: 
Bear is no longer available. We have two appointments for this weekend and can accommodate more so definitely give us a call if you would like to come out and look at a puppy or put down a deposit. We will have more pictures in the next couple of days.

New Whelping Box

Also we finished the puppies new whelping box so they have moved into it to spend time away from Elsa, but they are still nursing. We are beginning their weening process now and their whelping box was specially designed to start their potty training via the "Misty Method" (Google it). Basically they are learning to eat, sleep and use the potty in different areas so they carry that over in their crates when they go to their new homes. They learn not to potty where they sleep, making it easier for everyone. Photo below.

Puppies Eating Hard Food

Just a quick note to share a couple of pictures of the puppies eating hard food. We noticed last night that their teeth are coming in nicely so we figured it was time to see how they handled moist puppy food and they devoured it all. As you can see from the pictures, Bear decided to park himself on top of the bowl and eat from each one.

3 Weeks Old & Growing!

Blondie 3 Weeks

Here are some pictures we took today. The puppies are doing great and growing fast. We featured Blondie at the top because she is by far the most advanced so far. She has blossomed early and is the only one who is independent. She barks to come out and play. She also is the best one on her four feet and plays around the most. Most of them are still just lying around and starting to move more, but none of them are even close to the amount of mobility that Blondie has.

Isis 3 Weeks Old

The puppies have had a couple of visitors so far and everyone comments on how fat they are and how cute they are. They all have their eyes open now, but again Blondie seems to be further than the rest of them when it comes to being able to see. The one we nicknamed Bear is still the biggest and he will make a nice stud if someone chooses to breed him.

Chocolate Female

Bear (the Bottom Chocolate Lab)

Also I am building the puppies a new whelping box which will be ready in a couple of days. This whelping box is designed to begin their potty training by introducing them to the concept of separate eating/sleeping/bathroom compartments. This will help them be ready to begin the crate training process when they go home with their new owners.

Video of Puppies at 2 Weeks

Below is a link to the puppies' first video. They are getting bigger and more active as you will see. So far there are a couple of favorites in the house already. One in particular is a little ham in the video. They have all opened their eyes, but two are particularly active as you will see in the video. Enjoy and we will get some more pictures posted in the next few days.

1 Week Old

The puppies are now a week old and all are doing fine. Both black puppies are sold. The chocolates and yellow are still available. The runt of the litter is a chocolate, but the yellow female is giving her a good battle for smallest. The chocolate male is a monster and continues to be rock solid. We believe he takes after Elsa and his Grandpa Max and will be a very nice sized male labrador. There are new pictures available of each puppy you can see by clicking on the side menu.
