It has been a year since the last update. As there were problems with my site and my former provider was unable to help me, I switched providers and now have someone nearby who monitors and manages my site and assists me with any problems. Ideal!

But there is quite a bit to report in the meantime. I’ll start with some puppy photos and videos that haven’t been posted yet, and then the rest will follow.

Charlaigne and Cute Flynn, 2 weeks young.

During the first difficult period, it was already clear that Charlaigne was a wonderful mother. She stayed with her puppies day and night and took excellent care of them.

As is typical for Deerhounds, the difference between the sexes was clearly visible soon after birth. The males were true males and the females true females.

The puppies went outside for the first time at 4½ weeks. Uncle Crumbaugh finds it very interesting too!

As they are gradually outgrowing the whelping box, we have created a puppy cave. Here they are at 7 weeks old.

The whole family outside except Cytaugh, she is too lazy.

Just walking out of the gate.

The puppy cave was a great success. Three floors and a large separate bed. At first they had to clamber around, but soon they were jumping from one bed to another. They learned very quickly how to use their bodies, especially their paws!

From left to right: Caelen James, Cuillin, Chenea and Cyrus. 8 weeks old.

They loved lying on the outdoor beds, and we had to bring them inside every now and then when it got really cold. Even when they were wet from the rain, they still stayed outside! They were such tough puppies!

Here, the puppies are 8 weeks old and suddenly there is snow!

One puppy, the smallest one, who was born weighing 270 grams, always came straight to me and snuggled up close. She had chosen me and also won a special place in my heart, because she was the one who had almost been strangled when her brother got his paw caught in her collar. She was also just like a toy dog! Our Cephyr, 9½ weeks.

The puppies love to scurry around the entire grounds.

With six adult Deerhounds and ten puppies, we go through quite a lot of meat.

Great-grandfather Nimloth Brandir was quite fond of the puppies, but they were not very careful with the old man. Fortunately, he was still able to keep them under control.

With a few owners and some help, we all went to the shopping centre.

The bank was also quickly discovered and confiscated.

Sometimes a bit scary, but they learn a lot from it and become very confident!

Chenea, 15 weeks old. As there were no suitable interested parties for Chenea, she ended up staying with us.

Cwtch, Corwyn, Cygnor, Cree and Cuillin all left to go abroad. That’s why they stayed so long. Cree and Cuillin had to go all the way to Serbia, and Caelen James was able to hitch a ride to Slovenia. Cwtch went to France, and Gygnor and Corwyn went to Belgium. They all ended up in paradise.

Cuillin, also 15½ weeks young.
