Here he is – our new family member, the dog who stole my heart the moment he entered this world. The most handsome puppy I have ever seen (yes I know I cannot think clearly): Flatastic Black Peace From the very beginning he and I had a thing and this will probably be the lastContinue reading “And may we present to you…”

Today was the last goodbye..for us a very emotional moment to let go and at the same time celebrate the whole period of nurturing. It was with great pleasure that we passed Flatastic Platinum Alignment on to Lieuwe Bosma. Mr. Grey will be given a life as a working gundog in Friesland (northern NL). HopefullyContinue reading “Last goodbye”

Today we said goodbye to miss Yellow – also known as Bröseline (nicknamed after het father). Her pedigree name is Flatastic Yellow Joy. She was the smallest puppy who had a long way of growing, she had to struggle a bit for the good nipples against the big guys. When she was around 5 weeksContinue reading “Another goodbye”

Time flies when one prepares the goodbyes of 12 puppies. The last week (between 8 and 9 weeks) was an important week in the socialization of the pups. We enjoyed watching how Rumi’s behavior changed with the puppies. Day by day I noticed that she set new boundaries for what was allowed and what not.Continue reading “Time to say goodbye..”

Today the puppies are 8 weeks old and we are saying goodbye to two of the big guys. It has been a bit of a crazy week – an emotional roller coaster – and when things did not seem to be able to worsen the pups became ill with a virus that caused a majorContinue reading “Emotional day”

Past weekend we had the pleasure of meeting most of our puppy candidates on the waiting list. For us it was also a great moment to see how the puppies interact with humans. They loved all the attention and settled down nicely afterwards Time has not been on our side since Rumi became ill withContinue reading “5 1/2 weeks old”

It is hard to believe that my wonderful dozen is already 4 weeks old. Today was a milestone because they are now fed solid food twice a day and I no longer bottle feed. That is a huge workload relief for me. We have extended their living space every other day – whenever we heardContinue reading “4 weeks old”

Yesterday the Flatastics turned two weeks old. They are still doing great growing and sleeping – eyes have opened too so they are taking in the world. They are very active with their noses and as soon as they smell me or Rumi they speed up their crawling/walking pace. They have had their first antiContinue reading “2 weeks old”

Time flies when you are a mom..at least when you take care of 12 little ones.. The Flatastic puppies are doing great, they are wonderful little characters full of life and energy. They come across as being strong – both physically and mentally and they gain weight and coordination every day. I am slowly startingContinue reading “One week and two days old”
