Tulip and Ruly Puppies Arrive: October 31, 2024

Tulip, surrounded by her newborn litter, rests peacefully after the arrival of the final puppy.

This Halloween, we welcomed 8 precious puppies. Six robust boys and three darling girls - including one angel girl - were born to proud mom Tulip. While we're feeling a bit like zombies today from the late-night arrivals, we're absolutely delighted with our new little ones.

Tulip's first stage of labour began in the wee hours of October 31st, and our first puppy made its appearance right around trick-or-treat time. Tulip has been the picture of a devoted mother, refusing to leave her puppies' side. The pups are all doing wonderfully, and we're excited to introduce you to them in the order of their birth.

Mr. Wizard, Purple collar

Mr. Pumpkin, Orange collar

Mr. Broomstick, Brown collar

Mr. Hocus Pocus, Blue collar

Miss Trick or Treat, Light blue collar

Mr. Devil, Red collar

Miss Ghost, White collar

PS: It was heartbreaking when the newborn puppy failed to show any signs of life. Despite our efforts to stimulate and resuscitate her, the excess fluid in her lungs prevented her from breathing. Adding to the difficulty, she had been delivered within a double amniotic sac, which delayed her emergence.

Stay tuned....

Costa Artabra Ruly, a multi-champion Golden Retriever, resides in Spain. This lovely example of the breed boasts a sound temperament and wonderful conformation, which is why we are delighted to bring his esteemed pedigree to Canada.

Bronson and Tulip Litter – 7 weeks

We're 7 weeks old today! It has been an adventure-filled week! It was the puppies' first-time riding in a car! Introducing them to new experiences begins at this age. Rides in cars, sounds, meeting new people, etc. Our puppies are often taken to Home Depot, Winners, Homesense, Petsmart, and other pet-friendly stores after they receive their next set of vaccinations. While they still ride in the shopping cart, their horizons are broadening. We’ve expanded the puppies play area which is either in our kitchen, outside in the yard or on our porch depending on the weather. They enjoy playing together and are becoming more and more confident. Their play area includes toys an activity center, a crate, and tunnel.  Jolly Pets' Jolly Ball was a huge hit today. The puppies seemed to take turns carrying it! All of them weigh between 13 and 15 pounds. Their appetites are good, and momma Tulip occasionally stops by with a vanilla milkshake. Beef, turkey and chicken are among the protein...

Bronson & Tulip Litter– Week 6

A very happy 6 week birthday to this eye-catching litter! We are loving every minute we have with this litter and the weeks are flying by. The milk bar continues to be provided by Tulip who is an excellent mom. We had a wonderful time outside in between the rain showers this past week. The pups are confident and didn't seem nervous at all. Immediately they were at ease in their new surroundings, sniffing and exploring this new exciting adventure. Each time they go out, they explore further into the backyard but are always under the watchful eye of Tulip. This litter continues to be very quiet, which means they are very happy and content. They are all approaching 10 pounds in weight and it amazes me from one day to the next how quickly they grow up.  Mom begins weaning the pups and teaching them discipline. Through puppy play-biting, the pup learns bite inhibition and socialization with its siblings. Normal behaviour at this age. Six-week-old puppies still have a lot to learn from t...

Bronson and Tulip Puppies - Week 3

This week was filled with milestones!  The puppies are currently eating solid food, walking around, and interacting with each other. They're changing hourly! It is common for us to comment at this stage that puppies have grown so much since morning to evening. Puppies now eat two meals a day and supplement with momma's milk bar. Tulip will be pleased when pups begin eating three times a day next week. There is no doubt that they are quick learners. After the second feeding, they knew what to do and ate with enthusiasm.  Puppies are typically used to sucking, so we add raw goat's milk to pure ground turkey along with pre-probiotics, vitamins, and minerals. They devoured the second feeding in record time. Upon finishing the milk bar, their mom stopped by with dessert and they all fell asleep. Our whelping box has now been extended, so the pups have double the space to move around now that they weigh an average of 5 pounds. A pair of cameras has been set up for you to watch th...
