• For puppy parents: exclusive access to Zigzag, #1 puppy training app dedicated to puppy hoodDescription
2 pups still available from our litter of 7 - both are Liver and White.
Miss Yellow (Dotty) will stay with us, so with Miss Green and Miss Red - three sisters have remained together since about 9 weeks and that has provided great opportunities for continued learning through play with each other.
Our training and socialisation with all the puppies is ongoing as we continue to build toward a high standard; as if they will remain our dogs. We like our dogs to grow up to be generally calm, attentive and polite and so that is the direction they are working toward.
Some of the new homes have specifically thanked us for the early effort we put into training and socialising the pups, especially around crate training and recall training. But also introducing the pups to different people, kids and other dogs, as well as socialising them with a very wide range of experiences. Our training and socialisation has only evolved further since those other siblings left.
The litter has been raised in a home environment, which provided great opportunities for the pups' early development.
We have been mindful to apply well considered and safe exposure to a wide range of early socialisation experiences during the crucial formative period of a pup's life - including the 'biosensor programme' and other evidenced-based socialisation methods.
Whereas 8 weeks is the absolute earliest age that a pup should leave its mother - there are many advantages for siblings to remain together longer for early development during the "Critical Period of Socialisation" (usually cited to end at about 16 weeks). Being with littermates/mom during this time;
- Helps them to learn to "speak dog" - setting/respecting boundaries and learning to moderate play to behave well with other dogs.
- Helps to establish good feeding behaviours; sharing food, chews and toys with other dogs.
- It's excellent for learning bite-inhibition (learning to be gentler and more controlled with their mouths than they otherwise would be).
- Confidence building through play with their siblings as well has developing a strong sense of proprioception (bodily awareness).
- Approaching new and novel experiences with the moral support of their siblings helps them to overcome fear when being introduced to things that are potentially scary (like a hairdryer, or a new dog).
- Lots of opportunity for mom to pass down her wisdom and tell the pups when they take things too far.
In the event that more than one pup remains with us - it's crucial for us to avoid issues with littermate syndrome for ourselves. What that means for you is that we have also put lots of effort into one-to-one training and giving each puppy space to be without its littermates; this is to nurture their independence and develop their individuality (each puppy is quite happy to have a break from their sisters and will thrive in a home where they are the centre of attention).
Our priorities for training at the moment are:
- Crate training - they're already very comfortable and happy in a crate and they'll often take themselves to bed when tired. We are gradually extending the periods that they are lounging in their crate awake but comfortable.
- Toilet training in progress, coupled with marker words. They will not do it in their crate, so timing it well when they wake-up builds a preference for going outside over time. They often show subtle signs of needing the toilet and if proactive they are easily taken outside.
- Attentiveness training: Developing a strong habit of sustained eye contact and polite sitting (with Springers being a very outwardly focused breed, it can be very useful to develop strong attentiveness early).
- Strictly no dropping treats on floor to minimise nose-dipping habits.
- Early retrieve-to-lap play; collecting items and bringing them to sit on the handler's lap to "play with the item" before the item is thrown again - this encourages a strong desire to return things to you.
Many desirable passive behaviours are being reinforced too, like patience and quietly waiting instead of excitedly whining or jumping up. Checking in and returning to handler without being called. Walking alongside handler. And much much more.
Pups will leave home with a puppy pack that includes: a blanket with mom’s scent, toy and the food they are being given – so that you can transition to another type of food gradually, without upsetting their sensitive tums, or continue with the type they’re on.
All puppies are up to date with worming and flea treatment, they are also microchipped, vet health checked, and their 1st vaccine doses have been given too.
______________
The Sire is KC registered. He is a household pet and is not a working dog himself, though he has working parentage.
Physically he is a small-type Springer, at around 17-18kg optimum weight and, relatively, he’s somewhat low-legged and long-bodied as Springers go. He is very muscly and powerful, thick in the neck and shoulders with a nice chunky Spaniel head and glorious fluffy silky mane.
He lives in a family environment with kids and a cat.
He has an adorable and friendly temperament and is very fit, active and agile. He is calm but enthusiastic, well behaved and listens well; reliable and good off-lead.
______________
The Dam is not KC registered so it is unfortunately not possible to register the pups.
Physically she’s a very small-type Springer, at around 15kg optimum weight. Like the sire, she is also quite low-legged for a Springer and is even longer-bodied than the sire. She is incredibly dainty and petite with a very feminine face. She has lots of stamina and is very sure-footed; her gait is very fox-like and she has outstanding spatial perception.
She has a very fine and sleek short-coat, which is low maintenance and easy to clean. Though, like all Spaniels, her fluffy ears require the usual attention to grooming.
She is primarily an adventure companion and pet, though she has worked and does so well.
