Puppy Diary

We have now already reached week 9 – an exciting and eventful time 🐶. Important appointments are coming up, including the veterinary check with vaccinations and microchipping, as well as the litter inspection by the breeding committee of the Kooikerhondjeclub Switzerland. At the same time, the pup…

The puppies are becoming more active and curious with each passing day 🐶✨. There is still lots of visitors, which the little ones welcome openly and happily 🤍. They mastered their first leash walks with flying colors 🦮👏. Exciting outings are also on the agenda – including their very first tr…

The seventh week is all about socialisation and countless little adventures. By now, our puppies are involved in everything – happily racing through the kitchen, bathroom and living room, and exploring the garden with boundless curiosity. They have also well and truly claimed their socialisation ar…

The puppies are now just over two weeks old, and things are slowly starting to get lively in the whelping box. Little Chaya has even managed her first independent bowel movement 🤣. While the photos still look “more of the same” for now, the pups are becoming noticeably more active and coordinated…

Alva is an extremely caring mother and cleans, cares for, and feeds the puppies around the clock. It is so wonderful to see how the puppies are thriving. But nowhere are joy and sorrow so close together as in breeding. Our little dog, Cella, was too weak to live. Her little heart stopped beating on…

Alva gave birth to 5 beautiful puppies🥰❤🍀❤🥰 Between 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m, Alva gave birth to 5 beautiful puppies. We are so proud of Alva ❤. Updates and pictures will be uploaded regularly over the next few weeks. Just take a look and see what is going on 😊.  

The second week of life has begun, bringing significant changes for the puppies. Little by little, their sensory world starts to unfold: their eyes typically open between the 10th and 14th day of life (sometimes as late as the 16th), while their ear canals usually open between the 12th and 17th day…
