Looking for a forever home!

This is Mr. Green.  He is 13 weeks old and looking for his forever home!  He is sweet and cuddly but also has a bit of mischief in there! You can contact me via my Facebook page!  www.facebook.com/GuardianAngelShepherds 

UPDATE:  This beautiful boy has found his forever home!  Not only that but he is with two other Angels!  Maya, Luna and Shadow are all different ages of Guardian Angels.  Ranging in age from 6 years (? I think) to 4 months.  What a great life they will have together!  Thank you H for giving these "pups" a wonderful home!

For LIFE!

 

Meet "Fuzzbucket"!

My one and only long hair puppy!

 

Great News!

All pups have passed their health checks, received their first shots and were microchipped yesterday!

People often ask me...

People often ask me "How do you get anything done with these adorable puppies around"?  The sad truth is, I spend approximately 98% of my time cleaning, feeding, washing dishes, getting supplies, answering phone calls, answering emails, giving vitamins, doing laundry, entertaining puppy owners or potential puppy clients, washing floors, taking photographs, vet visits, microchipping, updating my blog and Facebook and caring for all the other dogs.  I rarely just get to sit and enjoy my puppies.  

But when I do get to sit and enjoy them, it makes all the work worthwhile!

Another "Right of Passage"!

The puppies have several "rights of passage" in the 8 weeks they are here.  The first is going from the whelping box to an x-pen (exercise pen).  The next is expanding their territory from the x-pen to using the whole room.  And the last is moving out to the puppy building!  It is here they can really stretch their muscles and learn balance, depth perception and social norms.

 The puppy building is approximately 24'X36' building built specifically for the pups.  It has lots of windows for sunshine, open areas to build muscles, a speaker system to learn about new noises (sound effects), electricity for lights and heat for those dark and cold days/nights, a Mom area so she can escape from the little ones when she needs a break, and a doggie door that opens onto a covered deck for more sunshine and fresh air,  It also has a litter box with shavings so they are pretty much area trained by the time they go home!  That is a definite bonus!

Oh ya!  And a crate so Mom can teach them it's a great place to sleep.  Mom is so important at this stage.  Although she has pretty much weaned them, she is crucial in teaching them life lessons!

First Puppy Nail Trim

Puppies get their nails trimmed every Wednesday and dewormed every Monday.  This will make your lives easier when you get them home as these two needed activities will be just part of their routines!

 

Puppy Bath Day. Important to do between fear periods!

Mother!  You can't be serious!

Yup!  She was serious!

Grandma Cruz keeping 4 wet puppies warm!

Like Grandma, like Granddaughter!

Some of these puppies are available for adoption!  If you've ever been thinking about a Guardian Angel Shepherd, now is the time to get one!  The way the world is today, you may want a Guardian Angel watching over you and your family!

Short clip of Mr. Green Bottle Feeding

 Mr. Green is having a little trouble latching on but that doesn't prevent him for devouring his home made formula!  It's a secret recipe but I'll tell you it contains whole fat plain yoghurt, canned goat's milk and human baby vitamins. Among some very exotic other things!  Literally 10X better than the powdered variety!  Nothing is too good for my babies!

Puppies Practicing Walking - I Love This Time in Their Lives!

 This is my absolute favourite time for the puppies!  They are 3 weeks old and very unsteady on their feet!  Plus!  They don't have any teeth yet!  A definite bonus when introducing them to children!  These are Gaia's puppies and if you'll notice, there's a few stuffed toys in the whelping box for stimulation.  They are at the stage when they now know there is something outside of themselves.  The acknowledge their littermates and actually starting trying to play with each other.  So fun to watch!  They also recognize me for the first time!

If I could please ask a favour of you...

 My good friend Julie, manages my Facebook page for me because 

1. I don't have time to deal with it and 

2.  I have no desire to learn how to use it!  

So on August 24 when I posted that I had been voted one of the top GSD breeders in Alberta on my blog, (an absolute honour), she very kindly put the announcement up on the Guardian Angel Shepherds Facebook page.  I was curious to see if there had been any comments and sure enough, there were!  The really cool thing was, a few of  them were from people who had adopted puppies from here in years past !  It really touched my heart that they took the time to do that.  It occurred to me that it would be a fantastic reference if other owners of my dogs were to add their photos and their comments.  I would really appreciate the marketing help.  I'm always telling everyone that I'm great with dogs, not so good at business.  I need all the help I can get! So if I could ask a favour of anyone who had the time and inclination to add a comment and/or photo, it would be most appreciated!

And to those who have commented already, thank you for sharing your experience here and I'm so glad that all your dogs are what you hoped for!  It makes all my work worthwhile.

Thanking you in advance.
