Which ones are you looking at ozsomerset? All of the pups have 2 weeks quarantine, then they will need to be desexed - so most of them would be ready from about 3 weeks from now at the earliest. The ages now are - as best we can tell... 2 ACD pups - 6 weeks - 1 boy, one girl 5 Boxer cross pups - 7 weeks - 4 girls, 1 boy 3 Heeler pups - 10 weeks - 2 girls, 1 boy 2 Pei cross pups - 4.5 months - 2 boys 1 GSD cross - possibly deaf - 12 weeks - girl 1 Kelpie cross (Whippet?) - 8 weeks - girl 1 Rotti(?) cross - 5 months - boy T.

No more worms from anyone this morning... but quite a bit of post worming sloppies... ewww! And the boxer pups can climb... there were 2 out of the pen in the granny flat this morning. I'll rethink my strategies about their setup tomorrow methinks - for now I've put extra food, water, toys, and bedding outside their pen in case anyone escapes while I'm out today. Katdogs - if you want boxer puppy cuddles today, just undo the shoelace holding the back door open and shut Zeddy and Pickles inside before you go into the granny flat... oh - and make sure you put the sleeper back in place to block the puppy escape point under the gate - I found out they can get under it this morning... lol! Don't forget to let Pickles and Zeddy out when you have finished playing with the pups - they are the anti puppy burglary system... hehe! The 3 heeler pups are so sweet - the stumpy tailed blue girl is more shy than the 2 reds, but she comes up for a pat and will cuddle nicely. No fighting over food any more now either... yay! T.

I'm going to cheer on my frind's Weimaraner "Mojo"... wish him luck today, OK? Oh - and I am definitely gonna look for the Xolo's for a pat too - if I'm allowed... *grin* T.

Even more cute than 6 week old puppy zoomies is a 30kg 7 month old Dane cross lying on her back and allowing two 6 week old fluffballs to have their way... *grin* Katdogs, if you decide to burgle, can you clean up the poopies in their playpen before putting them back? I'm sure they will have done some by the time you want to come over. Note to others - there are only 2 people on the planet who have the balls to try to come into my place when I'm not home... Katdogs is one of them... haha! All pups were wormed yesterday - not looking forward to cleaning up the boxer pups' granny flat pen this morning - I'd already cleaned up some "interesting" poopies before I went to bed last night... and I'm sure there will be plenty more of that waiting for me this morning... errr! I think I'll just have to burn the dropsheet. We knew they were wormy, and dosed them a little below their weights with Canex, which is a lot gentler on the gut than things like Drontal - and by the look of what was coming out last night, they'll be dosed again next Saturday to finish the job... Bonnie and Clyde only had 1 worm each in one poo each yesterday afternoon... nice healthy babies. I think the person who surrendered them has done a pretty good job of worming regularly and also socialising them in the home - they aren't fazed by things like the TV or radio, and are very people and dog friendly... oh... and they are lovely, confident little tackers. Oh well... it's finally daylight here... must go and clean up the other sets of pups and give them some playtime and cuddles and breakfast. Damn it's hard having to cuddle 10 pups every morning... *grin* T.

Oh - and the 'mastiff' cross pups look a lot more boxer than mastiff - thanks Katdogs, boxer was the breed I was thinking of too - all ears and dome heads... and that divine mahogany bridle with the flashing on the chests and socks... According to pound notes their mum was a kelpie - but I'm not seeing a lot of that in them either. They are also the nicest tempered little tackers. The 3 heeler type cattle pups are a bit timid, but will come to you for a cuddle... I'll have them more confident in no time methinks. They were a bit feral with food, but I've already sorted that by making sure they have more food than they can eat in a sitting, and we now have much more placid eating habits... T.

Definition of cute... Two energetic 6 week old ACD pups playing zoomies like there is no tomorrow... ... only downside is that it happens at 9pm when foster mummy is shattered and can't be arsed to get the camera out. Clyde is now flaked out on the couch and Bonnie is still looking for something to chew on. Clydie is the definite sooky 'I love cuddles from everyone' boy, and Bonnie is definitely the adventurous and cocky one - but when you catch her for a cuddle'she melts into you for the bestest smoochies. T.

Wait until it really reeks - it will be WAY more appealing then - as aftershave too... *grin* T.

I know you are looking for registered purebreds, but would you consider a rescue pup? T.

You might just need to make the trek VoodooKitten... it will be worth it.. *grin* Take it as read Clover - we have done this once or twice before, and aren't about to jeopardise their health or that of others. You are very welcome Burkes... they are all very nice pups and are a complete delight. T.

Harper is always up for a game of zoomies with Sammy Katdogs... *grin* She's only 8 weeks older than him... and 3 times his size, but she does play nice... she hasn't broken him yet! T.

Here's a pic of Percy - taken by the lovely lillypilly this afternoon. T.

I have Bonnie and Clyde in my bedroom right now... *grin*... and we are going to be doing couch cuddles soon... They travel well too - settled down in the travel crate and went to sleep like little pros on the way home. Not a peep from them the whole trip. I have Percy and Pluto (Pei x pups) in the big puppy enclosure (they have their very own shed in the enclosure with a big beddie, lots of bedding, and toys all over the place) in my back yard also... and I'll be bringing home the 5 "mastiff" x pups tomorrow as well. I will be in puppy addict heaven this time tomorrow... lol! T.

I have a Facebook page, but it's full of pound page likes and some old friends' silly updates - never has anything posted by me on it... lol! T.

We were contacted by the lovely and extremely hard working ninahartland recently about pups in various NSW country pounds - and we agreed to take them on. The wonderful Rhonda and her son Marshall made the incredible trek to the various pounds (and one surrender stop) and brought us 15 pups yesterday! We have the following... 5x "mastiff" cross kelpie - 4F, 1M - approx 6-7 weeks old (not sure about the "mastiff", they are pretty tiny) - from Narrandera pound 3x cattle (tall style) - 2F, 1M - 2 red, and 1 blue stumpy tail - approx 8-10 weeks old - from Narrandera pound 2x Pei x - 2M - about 4.5 months old - from Temora pound 1x Rotti x M - about 5 months old - from Temora pound 2x ACD - 1M, 1F - about 6 weeks old - surrendered near Wagga 1x GSD x - F - about 12-14 weeks old - possibly deaf - dumped in night pen at West Wyalong pound 1x kelpie x - F - about 8 weeks old - dumped in night pen at West Wyalong pound The only pups I haven't got a pic of are one of the Pei x pups (he looks the same as his brother, but has a really big white bib) and the Rotti x pup. Anyways - here are pics of the puppies - please excuse the fact that some are in pens - we were rotating them in and out of the exercise runs all day, and I got lazy with the camera. 3x cattle from Narrandera - no names yet 2x ACD surrenders - Bonnie and Clyde GSD x from West Wyalong - Gemma Kelpie x from West Wyalong - Tarni 5x "mastiff" x kelpie from Narrandera - no names yet Pei x from Temora - this is Pluto - his brother Percy looks exactly the same but has a really large white bib ... and a couple of gratuitously cute pics of a coupe of the "mastiff" x pups... because I can... *grin* The "mastiff" x pups are all around 1 to 1.5kgs at this point... maybe they will get big, maybe not... T.

Seriously - if one can't handle the folk here... then they are really going to get a shock when dealing with some of the potential adopters they will be contacted by. Most of the people here are pretty helpful until they get a whiff of something they consider "not right" - and then it can become a free-for-all - that I will admit. T. ETA - although Facebook seems to attract a whole new level of crazy...

I'd love to work in a doggy daycare like Roo's one... look how happy everyone is! Love the look on the big black Lab on the pink chair... "can I come down now please Roo?" T.

Handsome Herbert... you will live forever in the hearts of all you met along the way. T.

Ummm... there are contact details on this page... http://www.petrescue.com.au/groups/10325 T.

If the money raised by slugging responsible dog owners with a yearly fee is channeled back into policing those who aren't responsible, that would be something - does it say how the extra funds are going to be used? T.

Effing armchair warriors waging FB wars "for the good of the doggies"... grrr! Guaranteed that many of the really crazy ones doing this sort of thing have never lifted a finger to physically do anything remotely rescue related. T.

Run free and like the wind little Herbert man... T.

I reckon that solo pup had already snuck in and had his din-dins before the others realised the buffet was there... *grin* T.

Squeeeaaalll!!!!! PUPPIES! They are doing really well - and growing fast! Awesome save, and an awesome job being done by both Honey and her carer. T.

I'm not a fan of retractable leads... seems that most of the people who use them really have no clue and don't pay enough attention to what their dog is actually doing. T.
