Wow, those puppies have gotten so big! It's hard to believe we were all playing the waiting game to see how many there were just a short time back. They are so beautiful! (I bet their momma is exhausted!)

Thank you @HomesteaderWife ! They really have and I know... t feels like yesterday we were waiting not so patiently over here lol. She seems to be doing good since she isn't in with them all the time. SHe is available to lay on the couch, sleep in bed with us again and play outside which she has been taking full advantage of Ha ha.

I should add that ALL puppies eyes are open now!

It is exciting but they will become TROUBLE makers soon

 

[samssimonsays]

LOL They already are. I don't mind one bit. I LOVE every second of it @Poka_Doodle

@Latestarter , I'm sorry, I certainly did not mean YOU. It's just that MOST men, and you are certainly atypical, are that way. They think they're so clever and wise, but they really aren't. You on the other hand have proven your wisdom to us repeatedly, so we would never count you among the common males. (See how nicely I did that? )

They are adorable! Love all the blue merle!

Please keep in mind if you are thinking of using or selling them as LGDs, they are 1/2 collie (herding breed). And St Bernards are not technically LGDs either. I would be super hesitant to purchase a cross like that as LGD. I would get one in a heart beat if I were looking for a pet though!

Thank you ! Stella has been doing a great job at feeding them lol. Most are over 3 pounds now at 2.5 weeks old! For a 65 pound dog feeding 8 of them that is a lot.

We won't be advertising them as pyr at all for that reason. When we do advertise they will be Collie/st. Bernard and when families come they will know the whole breed history.

Well, my rabbits have pushed me to my absolute limit.... I am just plain worn out with them. All the issues I have had with them and all of the obstacles that I have to constantly overcome with them... I am ready to move on. I will be keeping a few that are important to me like my bottle baby, Nash as well as a couple real gentle souls out there but I will be selling down about 20 rabbits from my herd. With that being said, My husband wants to expand the goat herd to upwards of 10 goats total which is unheard of for him. He has really enjoyed them and isn't allergic to them like he is the rabbits. It will also mean no more Air conditioning through the summer months and worrying about frostbitten ears during the winter. We have the land and he wants to get cracking on the fencing as soon as the ground thaws and add in a couple more goats this year. After the first of the year I will be taking photos of the rabbits and posting them for sale to those I know and opening it up to the public after they have made their picks. I have some super nice rabbits but I am hoping to sell them all by the end of June.

Aww, this must be difficult for you! That's good that you are keeping a few of your favorites to love on!
