CHICKADEE & PISTOL 2009 - 3) 3 Weeks Old, Their 1st Meal
THE FIRST MEAL: Do you want to see something really cute? Watch 3 1/2 week old puppies eat, real food, for the first time. This is Chickadee & Pistol 2009 litter of 8 puppies. You will see how the puppies have developed in just 1 week. This week their eyes and ears have opened. They now can hear and see their mother.
I have invited the new adoptive families to come and see the puppies eat their first, real food, meal. I have taken Chickadee away from the puppies about 1 hour before starting the feeding. I want them to be a little hungry.
I take the food that I’m going to feed the puppies and add warm water to it, about an hour before I plan on feeding. Once it is soft I put it in a blender and make a mash or peplum out of it. I add warm water until I get the right soft pudding texture. I want it a little soupy so it is easy for the puppies to eat.
With the new families all present, I put down the bowl of food and the fun begins. I very gently touch the mussel of each puppy to the food. They usually push away from the food, them taste it and come pushing forward. The puppies don’t understand how to find the food. They don’t understand the concept of raising their heads up over the edge of the bowl. You have to help them. The puppies will eat off of each other, finding ears, feet and anything else that feels like a nipple. Remember, up until this time, food has always come from their mothers nipples. They walk through the bowl and smear food from head to toe.
Once the puppies are done eating, I bring Chickadee back to them and she will clean them up. I make sure that they all get inside so that they don’t get cold from wear their food or the washing that their mother will give them.
The mother’s registered name is Spirits Pick Me Chickadee and the father’s name is Shorelands Pistol Pete II CD MX MXJ NF. I breed Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever in Redmond, WA. I have been Breeding, Training, and Showing in AKC, CKC, UKC Obedience & Agility trials for over 35 years. I love raising puppies and teaching people how to live with dogs. I have bred some of the top Obedience dogs in the US & Canada including the #1 All Breed Dog in Canada for 2008, GMOTCH, Am, OTCH SPIRIT’S ZIM ZAM ZOOM UDX3. My dogs are very athletic, love to swim, hike and are very intelligent. They make wonderful family members and are great with children. If you are look for a new family member, you won’t go wrong with one of my dogs. All of my breeding stock have OFA clearance on Hips & Elbows, CERF yearly on eyes, have been tested for PRA and have Heart clearances. I hope you enjoy my Videos and Channel.

VOODOO & JOHNNY 2009 THE 3RD TIME EATTING: This is the 3rd time the puppies have eaten real food. An hour before I feed the puppies I take VooDoo away from them. This is the start of weaning the puppies from the mother. I take the food that I’m going to feed the puppies and add warm water to it, about an hour before I plan on feeding. Once it is soft I put it in a blender and make a mush or peplum out of it. I add warm water until I get the right soft pudding texture. I want it a little soupy so it is easy for the puppies to eat.
I put down the bowl of food and the fun begins. I very gently touch the mussel of each puppy to the food. They usually push away from the food, them taste it and come pushing forward.

The puppies will eat off of each other, finding ears, feet and anything else that feels like a nipple. Remember, up until this time, food has always come from their mothers nipples. They walk through the bowl and smear food from head to toe.
Once the puppies are done eating, I bring VooDoo back to them and she will clean them up. I then bring their mother back to them. She cleans up all of the puppies. When she is done they are a little wet but they are clean.
You will see the 3rd time that the puppies have been feed. They are all ready getting the idea of raising their chins to find the food in the bowl. Once their tummies are full, I will bring VooDoo back to them so she can do the clean up.
The pups are doing very well at eating. Tomorrow I will take VooDoo away 2 hours early, so the puppies will really be hungry.

This video is on capturing a behavior using clicker training. I have been working on capturing natural behaviors with Isabelle and putting them on cue. So far she can sneeze on cue “Smell the Skunk” and now scratching “Do you have fleas?”. I have also captured other tricks that Isabelle likes to do by just clicking her when she does them and put them on cue, “boing” and “cross paws”.

Once your dog understands that their movements can make you click and earns them a reward, they will start offering behaviors and be more aware as to what they were doing when you clicked. I think that it is just fun to try to take what the dog already loves doing or does anyway and put it on cue.

Good luck and have fun with capturing behaviors!

Busy & Zoom 2009 - 2) - Puppies Are 3 Hours Old
On July 1st 2009 Busy and Zoom have a litter of 11 puppies. It is a good size litter. There are 6 girls and 5 boys. When the labor starts, I find it normal to have a puppy an hour. There are times when you get 2 close together, but then you have a long time before the next one arrives. You must watch closely for any signs that the female may be in trouble. There could be a baby that has turned sidewise and is blocking the others from being born. If she is doing a lot of straining, more than likely, that next puppy will be born die. The birthing process can be very long. If you have 9 puppies it can take up to 9 hours for all of them to be born. Of course, you won’t know how many are in there, so you will be watching for maybe 11 to 12 hours. I always take my mothers to the vet, when I think they are done and get an x-ray, to be sure everyone has been born. I also get my puppies check out at that time too.
We are back home from the vet and I have settled Busy into the whelping box. I’m keeping the puppies in a warming box so they stay warm and so she won’t step on them. Once Busy is comfortable I start introducing the puppies to her. I take 3 puppies at a time and place them next to her. She will start licking and cleaning the puppies. Busy is an experienced mother. She knows how to clean and stimulate the puppies. Just in case you don’t know, puppies don’t go to the bathroom on their own at birth. They have to be stimulated to do so. She is doing a great job of cleaning them. Her milk came in by Thursday morning. I make sure each puppy is cleaned up and is nursing. Sometimes the mothers milk has not come in yet, but the puppies should still nurse. I kept adding puppies until I have 1/2 of the litter with the mother or about 5 or 6 puppies. I wait until the puppies in the warming box start fussing or about 2 hours and then I rotate the other half of the litter with the mother. I keep doing this until the mother indicates that she wants all of the puppies with her. When I put all of the puppies with the mother I watch very carefully to be sure that she doesn’t step on a puppy or roll on a puppy. This is a common way to loose a puppy. If you look closely at the whelping box, you will see that there is a railing on the inside that stops the mother from laying up against the side. This is called a pig railing and provides a place for the puppy to be, so the mother won’t lay on it. The puppies weigh about 10 to 16 oz.
For the next 5 to 7 days I sleep next to the whelping box where I can hear the puppies, again listening for a puppy that is being squished. I watch that the smallest puppies is always close to the mother and that it is nursing. Sleeping next to the litter, I’m right there when the mother wants to go outside. I always pick up the puppies and put them in the warming box, when she gets up and starts moving around.
When you deliver the puppies you tie off the umbilical cord before you cut it. I have the vet replace it with a surgical staple. You can see this staple in the video and how the cord is drying up.
You can tell if the puppies are warm enough by watching to see if they are spread out away from the mother. If they are all huddle around and under the mother your room is too cold.
When the puppies are eating their little tails are going like mad. Happy little tails. Golden Retrievers come in all different shades of gold. They go from light to dark.
Busy finds a different way of nursing her puppies. She doesn’t have to lie down.

Golden Retriever

“The Golden Retriever is a large breed of dog, historically developed as a gundog to retrieve shot waterfowl and upland game during hunting. As such they were bred to have a soft mouth to retrieve game undamaged and an instinctive love of water. Their versatility sees them employed in a variety of roles including illegal drug detection, search and rescue, as hunting dogs and as guide dogs. Its friendly, eager-to-please nature and patient demeanor has also made it one of the most popular family dogs (by registration) in the world today.

History
———-

The Golden Retriever breed was originally developed in Scotland at “Guisachan” near Glen Affric, the highland estate of Sir Dudley Marjoribanks (pronounced “Marʒbanks”), later Baron Tweedmouth. For many years, there was controversy over which breeds were originally crossed. In 1952, the publication of Majoribanks’ breeding records from 1835 to 1890 dispelled the myth concerning the purchase of a whole troupe of Russian sheepdogs from a visiting circus.

Improvements in guns during the 1800s resulted in more fowl being downed during hunts at greater distances and over increasingly difficult terrain. This led to more birds being lost in the field. Because of this improvement in firearms, a need for a specialist retriever arose as training setter and pointer breeds in retrieval was found to be ineffective. Thus work began on the breeding of the Golden Retriever to fill this role.

The original cross was of a yellow-colored Retriever, Nous, with a Tweed Water Spaniel female dog, Belle. The Tweed Water Spaniel is now extinct but was then common in the border country. Majoribanks had purchased Nous in 1865 from an unregistered litter of otherwise black wavy-coated retriever pups. In 1868, this cross produced a litter that included four pups; these four became the basis of a breeding program which included the Irish Setter, the sandy-colored Bloodhound, the St. John’s Water Dog of Newfoundland, and two more wavy-coated black Retrievers. The bloodline was also inbred and selected for trueness to Majoribanks’ idea of the ultimate hunting dog. His vision included a more vigorous and powerful dog than previous retrievers, one that would still be gentle and trainable. Russian sheepdogs are not mentioned in these records, nor are any other working dog breeds. The ancestry of the Golden Retriever is all sporting dogs, in line with Majoribanks’ goals.

Golden Retrievers were first accepted for registration by the The Kennel Club of England in 1903, as Flat Coats - Golden. They were first exhibited in 1908, and in 1911 were recognized as a breed described as Retriever (Golden and Yellow). In 1913, the Golden Retriever Club was founded. The breed name was officially changed to Golden Retriever in 1920.

The Honorable Archie Majoribanks took a Golden Retriever to Canada in 1881, and registered Lady with the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1894. These are the first records of the breed in these two countries. The breed was first registered in Canada in 1927, and the Golden Retriever Club of Ontario, now the Golden Retriever Club of Canada, was formed in 1958. The co-founders of the GRCC were Cliff Drysdale an Englishman who had brought over an English Golden and Jutta Baker, daughter in law of Louis Baker who owned Northland Kennels, possibly Canada’s first kennel dedicated to Goldens. The AKC recognized the breed in 1925, and in 1938 the Golden Retriever Club of America was formed.”

Introducing my new puppy! He is a 4 1/2 month old terrier/chi mix. I picked him up yesterday and this footage is of me going to fetch him and Kiko and Splash’s reaction to him. Sometimes Kiko doesn’t like to play with young puppies, so I was very happy and excited that the puppy was a big hit with my two other dogs! We have been having a blast since he’s been here!

I got my new puppy from this most wonderful animal rescue! And I would love to thank the rescue for doing such a good job fostering and caring for him!

Since it was almost 95 degrees outside my mom decided to give my puppy a bath, and since he is too big to go in the bath tub we had to spray him down outside!

He is a mastiff great dane btw!

And please dont leave comments talking about his pinch collar. You do not know my dog and how powerful he is. He IS EXTREMELY PROTECTIVE of my family and will attack ANYONE (children) who comes close, we MUST use a pinch collar. If you look at this video closely the leash is attached to both of his collars (blue on and pinch) when he pulls it does not pinch him.

He went to the vet, he is currently 275lbs. The Vet says he is healthy and not overweight.

This is the first video for Secondhand Hounds located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where you can see some of their awesome dogs at their best…having fun!
These dogs are looking for a loving, caring forever home to call their own.

Secondhand Hounds: http://secondhandhounds.org

Extra Doggy Info:
Momma - http://secondhandhounds.org/2009/11/momma-1-year-old-pitchowheeler-mix/
Momma just weaned a beautiful litter of healthy puppies. Unfortunately, she is still a puppy herself! She is only about 11 months old and still has a lot of puppy in her. After raising 9 puppies, she needs a home all to herself! She gets very worked up around other dogs, and that energy can make other dogs nervous. Therefore, we think she would be best as an only dog. She needs some work on obedience, but what she lacks in manners, she makes up for in cuddles and kisses and nibbles. She is a great size, about 40 pounds, and is gorgeous. Your guess is as good as ours in terms of breed- we think she might have cattle dog, chow, and pit bull in her. She is housebroken and crate trained.

Alan - http://secondhandhounds.org/2009/09/alan-1-2-year-old-lab-mix/
Alan is a very special boy. He needs an energetic family who loves to give love. Because of his enthusiasm for life, he may knock over small children. Therefore, we think he would be best with a family with children 8 and up. He loves to chew, but if he has plenty of toys, he will chew those. He adores looking out windows. He is about 45 pounds and very strong. He is a HUGE cuddler and likes to sleep in bed with his humans. He is probably a mix of lab and beagle and maybe some bully breed.
