BRANDON HOUSE OF SHEPHERDS
Just starting to open their eyes!
They really are moving now!
They’re starting to get a hang of walking!
2 of the pups are so full they aren’t even interested in the morning feeding!
The pups are taking their first steps outside!
The pups are becoming very active!
The pups made it outside!
The pups enjoy their first wet food meal. Ava’s mammary glands are getting chewed up & need to heal.
The girls (Ava, Bruna, & Coda) coax the puppies out of their “cave”
The pups are still figuring out this soft food thing; but Ava’s definitely happy that I’m helping feed the litter, in the wild the mother would be regurgitating food at this stage of development.
Sleepy puppies are tired from all the adventures!
The pups are already figuring out this soft food thing! One of them thought “it’s all for me!” Assisting Feeding 4x a day now
Another outdoor adventure for the 21 day old German shepherd puppies!
The pups sure are adventurous this morning!
A lot of the pups are getting the hang of going outside already!
Those pups sure are going now!
Time for the second major cleaning!!!
Now that most of the puppies are going outside
IF I take them outside just before AND just after feeding.
This is the perfect time to do a deep clean for optimal learning!
The raw footage was close to an hour before my phone stopped recording due to no memory.
Two plates of soft food for the pups, that way they all have easy access!
I need to feed/take them out every 2-4 hours day AND night to build good habits
Teaching the puppies how to use the doggie door!
Frequency is key to the training; clean to often and the pups wont know why they need to keep their space clean, don't clean often enough and they become accustom to laying in their own filth.
A new obstacle for the pups to overcome!
I know it’s messy already, but less than last time! especially if you consider that they are much bigger!
Even the adults want some of my homemade soft food!
the pups eat all of their food, play outside, & show there knowledge of how to use the doggie door
I was able to get the boys: восемь (father) Rök & Ace (siblings from first litter) interacting with the pups on camera!
No new solid messes in the room over the last day or so! Perfect timing for a major cleaning!
The computer cannot be upgraded any further & I need to build an entirely new computer; for those who are tech savvy like I and are curious what antique set-up I'm running WINDOWS10 on... the components are as follows:
Hewlett Packard 1632 (HP rp5800) + Wi-Fi Card
Intel Core i7-2600 @3.4GHz
4 sticks of 2GB 1Rx8 PC3
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti
480GB SSD & 6TB Disk Drive
After 5+ years of being a loyal customer they cut down my internet connection from 1200 to 300.. They’ve been slowly taking it away to the point where I can only open google now! Currently paying $90 a month for 300 while new customers get $65 a month for 1200 speeds; I can “upgrade” back to 1200 for + $40.. illegal?
The pups are keeping their room clean this time!
hard to believe some breeders still haven't even fed soft food by this stage of development... i'm sure glad Ava isn't being forced to nurse at this age!
The pups are getting adventurous!
The pups are getting big!
Coda is showing her younger brothers/sisters how to eat the kibble; by the way they get all dogs & puppies on the property have access to unlimited kibble.
The pups teeth are getting extremely sharp, hopefully this is enough of a distraction to keep them from chewing up the wall moldings.
The pack has been reunited now that all of the girls are no longer in “heat” & the puppies come to eat when I whistle. (Apologies for the occasional shaky camera, I only have 2 hands and I need to carry the jug of food)
Another feeding video with some close ups of the pups. By the way they are being fed soft food 3-5 times a day & going through a whole container of puppy kibble every day!
Getting the pups out of the comfort zone of the porch (cave entrance)
The pups are keeping their space pretty clean! no solid messes inside for 8 days! also if you're curious about why the video repeats 3 times that's the only way I could get it to upload without YouTube automatically turning it into a "short" (non usable link)
The pups are getting a bit more adventurous!
The pups are still keeping their area clean and are very active today!
The pups are definitely getting comfortable leaving the “cave entrance” now!
The pups get some chicken thighs today! They sure rip those things up quickly! Ava looks like a happy momma! 4x speed will post original when I have more time (big uploads slow the local internet)
The pups were brave enough to make it all the way around the house!
The pups learn to share a chunk of pork loin!
I'm trying to get the pups to eat more kibble, but Ava keeps dropping her share of the pork loin into their room; much more teamwork from the pups this time around!
Ava gets to enjoy watching the pups sleep with full bellies!
The pups get in some exercise exploring the property!
The pups are still keeping their room clean! They also eat some carrots to ease teething pains!
The pups are rewarded with their own pork chop for eating lots of kibble! They devour them quickly!
Another container of kibble down! The pups get a taste of fish & cheese this time, as well as some more carrots!
I'm going to be very busy this week showing the litter that the house is an extension of their "cave" and should be treated as such.
Recording will be difficult if not impossible as there are 9 of them and I will need both hands to immediately pick up any pups "assuming the position" and place them into their "cave" where they have access to the doggie door and will not make a mess in "their" space.
The pups are integrating into the big dog "cave" quite well! The pups ate todays cut of meat so fast I couldn't get it on camera, by the way that's meat juice not urine in the second part of the clip.
The Pups are exhausted from having free roam of the property during daylight hours.
6 of the 9 pups got rewarded for their good behavior with a nap on the bed, 2 of the 9 pups forgot where the door was and peed inside; they were immediately put into timeout (“small cave”) the 9th puppy decided to go into the “small cave” of its own volition towards the end of the day.
NO SOLID MESSES INSIDE SINCE DAY 31 (4.5 WEEKS OLD)
NO PUDDLES INSIDE IN 48 HOURS
CARPET SAFE (I'V BEEN SLEEPING ON THE CARPET "GUARDING" IT SO THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND)
MINIMAL INTREST IN WIRES
EVERY PUP HAS ATLEAT 1 EAR STANDING ALREADY (MOST HAVE 2)

Other breeders have decided to spam call my phone with bots to the point where my phone is unusable unless I silence all unknown callers..
I can't even check my voicemails because of all the bots..
They do this the most at the 8 week mark every year!
Too the breeders doing this I just want to know how many puppy lives did you spend to do this to me?
The pups are so hungry it's hard to get any food to the adult dogs (I made 7 jugs of soft food this morning, and the puppies ate most of it) This is causing tension in the pack who are accustomed to collectively consuming 150 pounds of meat a week.
My mind and body are spent.
The females will be going into heat again around mid-November at that point I will have to pay to take all pups to a shelter as I will need to lock down the house to prevent any inbreeding.
I can currently only give 6 adults the attention and food that they need.
If I find all pups homes at a decent donation, Rok & Bruna (unrelated) can have a litter in 6 months or so.
If I can't find all the pups' homes clearly that's not the best plan of action and I'll focus my time & energy into something else in order to scrape by.
This will have meant the puppy millers have won.. for the time being.
