Icelandic Sheepdog Puppies are growing!


Hi Guys


well, the dream litter is getting so big now, and so much more interactive, they will snuggle and wave a paw at you and crawl/waddle over with their tails wagging, so cute and so much fun, starting to learn all the neat sounds they can make etc.

The pearls are hoots at the moment, they are eating mushy solid food four times a day now, and that means poo's and pee's now greet me every time I walk into where they are LOL, thank goodness for no rugs and puppy pads and lots of extra outside time after eating.. they are getting if figured out a little bit.. eat, then basket then outside for bathroom.. good puppy, good puppy when they go in the grass.. I know that if anyone filmed us, we would seem like silly goose's, first saying .. Go bathroom and then praising and petting and snuggle each one as they go but trust me, it the long run it will be a very good thing :)

So we tried a new plan last night which was hopefully going to let us get a full nights sleep, the pearls wake up and play every couple hours and they wake up the Dream litter who then want to nurse and play as well, so we kept the pearls upstairs last night moving them into the bathroom (its a huge bathroom, used to be a bedroom) and put mom, food, water, pads, stuffies and crate/beds both in the crate and outside of it and baby gated it off.. well the puppies did fine..but Freyja did not.. she has had a aweful time of it as she wants to be with her puppies but she is one of the always bed dogs, and she gave up more then a snuggle on the bed for motherhood, but being removed from the bedroom at night.. well that was a different matter altogether thank you very much.. so in the end, I slept on the couch last night so Jason could get a few hours of solid shut eye..

Otherwise, lets see what is new with the pups for you.. hmmm well everyone has gotten the steel comb run though them at least once this week, nails trimmed in some cases twice, Got to play with Gloa more and even grandma oppa has been seen to allow the odd ear tugging and playing, the pearls are just starting to interact with their toys and are almost walking instead of waddling.

The only other thing that the pups found interesting was their new "made food" they get soften puppy chow but also get peaple food and one meal of farm fresh egg, so their made food was a big pot of farm ground lamb, pot barley and a big bag of farm sqaush all cooked and mixed together with home canned lamb soup broth, it took a little while to figure out how to pick up the barley but the pups loved it, and so healthy for them..

How do you figure out Adult Color on the Icelandic Sheepdog Puppies

Follow the Dream, is clearly taking after her mother Folda, Gonna be a Red Head!
Provocative in Pearls Color behind her ear, taking after her Sire


Keepers Ear color, I can track this color in the pedigree back four generations.


Question: How do you tell what the adult coat color on the puppies will be?


Answer: I have found over the years that looking at the back of the ears for what color they are as a puppy gives us our best clues. You need to take these photos in a natural defused lighting, no flash, and no lamp light otherwise it will mess with what the photo shows, so here are photos of the oldest litter , I will do the Dream litter when they are old enough to head outside for some play time.


On average the adult coat color will be either, the same as seen above or one shade darker or lighter then what is seen above.

Kitten an Puppy Love'n



Well, I know what I am trying to setup and get a photo of.. I want one of those cute photos where it seems that the puppy and kitten are kissing.. well I can see that its going to take awhile to get that photo.




The kitten was a hoot, she is such a friendly little thing, as soon as you pet her, she flops on her side and purrs or tries to play with you but trying to get a puppy to stay still and also interact with her at the same time.. need to try this again with Jason, I really needed three hand min LOL

Enjoy what I did get.. the kitten gave me pose after pose of herself, looking ever so cute on her own, and I just loved this "funny" pose her and the pup gave me..
