6 weeks old Beast litter

Here are some of our favorite photos from the now 6 weeks old puppies. They have all had their blood work done for checking if they are protected with mom’s antibodies from birth and all were good for at least the next 4 weeks. As a breeder however I have decided to have them bloodtested earlier than recommended as the puppies then can have the tests done at our home in a safe environment. Otherwise they would need to have them done shortly after leaving their mom and siblings at a point where they have not yet build a secure bond with their new owners.

Here are some pictures from the past week:

4th week of the Flatastic Beast litter

All pups are still thriving and growing well. They have started to play with eachother and with us. Mostly it involves biting and attacking, but luckily they do also still cuddle with me.

Here are some lovely photos taken by Arista Fotografie:

Flatastic Beast litter 3rd week

All puppies are doing well – Lotte had a bit of an energy collaps as eating all the pooh from 8 puppies had upset her stomach. This resulted in us deciding to start offering the small ones solid food a bit earlier than anticipated. They love their new food and by doing so Lotte had some more space to recover. She is now back in full service shape.

We are very busy providing the first stimili in order for the pups to obtain socialization. This week we have introduced tactical surfaces such as toilet gravel and a silicone mat. Alongside that the first scent of game has been introduced as well.

Here are some photos of the past week:

As we are settling into a new daily routine the smell of small baby puppies and the unbelievable sweet sounds from the birthing box are touching our hearts and souls. I am living out of coffee and oxytocin I believe 😚.

How can I otherwise, look at these sweet pups:

Flatastic Beasts have arrived!

Lotte & her 8 puppies

It is with great joy that we can announce that the Flatastic B litter has arrived.

Deep in the night on the 22nd of January Lotte had a textbook welping process and delivered the absolutely perfect nummer of 8 puppies in 5 hours:

Males: 🖤🖤🖤🤎

Females: 🖤🖤🖤🤎

We are deeply in love with the beautiful puppies who are very lively and strong.

Chilling flatcoated style

Lotte is doing very well – she has a strong maternal instinct and Kaspar and Rumi are only allowed to have sneak previews around the corner:

The puppies are gaining weight and enjoying the service of mummy, meanwhile we have contacted all future owners bringing them the good news.

Our B litter is called “Flatastic Beasts” inspired by the J.K. Rowling film “Fantastic Beasts”. Attentive followers may have found the hidden clue on our mating announcement already.

Have you found the clue yet? It is small and greenish..

Thank you Yvonne for providing outmost professional medical and emotional support throughout the welping process. 🖤🤎

As we are entering the 8th week of the pregnancy of Lotte things are getting busy here at Flatastic headquarters.

Getting everything ready and feeding our sweet girl several times a day whilst still caring for the other dogs, communicating with possible puppy buyers and doing our regular stuff on the side. One thing is sure – breeding puppies is not a “walk in the park”.

Even though we are busy setting up for the B litter I manage to take many moments to cuddle up with the future mom. She is so sweet and she enjoys all the attention. Since this week we can feel the small puppies inside her belly moving and kicking. They are very lively. Lotte seems somewhat bothered by the strange feeling of the puppies and she gives me a certain look of disapproval. She is getting tired of the weight load.

Hopefully everything will go according to plan when the little ones arrive.. after birth we will reveal the theme of our B litter.
