Introducing Marley, father to the puppies!
Click here to see pictures and descriptions of the English Shepherd puppies still available.
I was talking to someone on the phone about the puppies and realized I don't really have much in the way of pictures of Marley, the father to our litter. He is an alert and active dog, guardian to our poultry, playmate to our children and shadow to me when he isn't busy with one of those important chores. Here he is playing one of his favorite games: chase the squeaky squirrel! It is a very easy toy to make. We just drilled a hole in a pvc pipe and tied a toy to it with some nylon cord. My goal was to use it to teach herding commands, but mostly we do this with it.
Because it is so much fun!
Let me know if you have any questions about Marley, Faithfull or any of the puppies!

Introducing the English Shepherd Puppies
Update: All of our puppies have found homes!
Our litter of English Shepherds is growing up fast and will be ready to start going home Monday, March 31! It doesn't seem like it has been eight weeks yet, but they have been steadily growing in stature and confidence! Here they are, with descriptions based on our observations and their Volhard temperament test. If you are interested in a puppy, please contact me through the form here: Contact us. For more information on how we raise our puppies, please see our posts on how we help with pre-housebreaking, Pat Schaap's Rule of Sevens as well as this information on neurological stimulation. I will try to get some video up of them playing in their play area soon!
We were blessed with five tri-colored pups and five sable. So without further ado, the puppies:
First up is little Erika.
Erika (now Nala) is home with her new family!
She's a pretty gentle soul, eager to please and happy to accompany you wherever you wish to go. Curious and playful, she's been one of the children's favorites from the beginning. She has a lot of energy and will need a job to keep her alert mind busy.
And look at that cute little tail. When she gets a little older, I'm sure that whole backside will wag with happiness, just like her mother's! It is a naturally bobbed tail.
Next up is Susan. Fortunately, she loves to snuggle, because who could resist?
Susan (now Rosie) has gone home to Pennsylvania. Congratulations, Craig!
Susan is loyal and confident, staying with us for chores and trotting along behind us almost anywhere we go on the property. For the past few days, we have been taking the puppies out on their own to explore, and she will go the furthest before wanting to return to the safety of the litter. She walks nicely at your side or a little behind. She likes to sniff everything, but comes right away when called. Her Volhard testing indicates a pup with maybe a little more energy and a little more drive than her sister, Erika, but she has a definite "off" button. She reminds me a bit of her mother in that she likes to lay down somewhere with a good vantage point to watch what is going on but becomes quite animated as soon as something interesting happens or when she is called.
She also has a naturally bobbed tail, but it isn't as short as the last picture makes it appear. She's holding her tail off to the side there. You can get a better idea of the length from the side view.
Lucy is also quite the sweetie pie. Lucy is reserved.
Edmund may or may not have enjoyed rolling over and over and over on the hill while he was getting ready for his pictures. Hence the bits of grass after he was all ready for his pictures.
Edmund has gone home to his family just around the corner (OK, a couple of corners, but still close enough for a visit!)
Thomas is a cuddler. A lover. Definitely a very good lap warmer after a hard day of playing. Especially since he found that hill every bit as much fun as Edmund said it was.
Mariposa is a pretty laid back young lady. Mariposa is tentatively reserved, but we will take your name if you are interested in her until we have a firm commitment.
She has a gentle disposition to accompany that curious look. She is easily redirected and is happiest when invited to do whatever you are doing. She scored pretty solid 4's on her Volhard test, which generally indicates a calm, friendly dog without any desire to rise above her humans in the "pack" order. She should be easy to train, sociable and a fun dog to be with as she will most likely use her intelligence to figure out how to please you.
Peter has those eyes that seem to look right into your soul.
Peter has found his forever home. Congratulations!
He's a very curious little guy, always up for a game. He's confident around the poultry, and shows a little higher drive than some of his littermates. He will definitely need a job to do, and a firm, but gentle leader to help him direct his energy toward constructive outlets.
These pictures don't show it as well, but he does have a long tail, tipped with white.
Surge is an energetic boy, living up to his name.
Paul is also an energetic boy with a lot of confidence.
Paul is an energetic puppy with a lot of drive. He is very playful, loves accompanying us for chores and is good with the poultry. He is good with our children and loves racing around his little playground, sliding down his slide, running through his tunnel and playing with the other equpimpent we've put out for the pups to explore. He has been introduced to our cattle, minihorse, cats and a variety of poultry. He is curious but has not shown any inclination to chase. He would prefer a home where he has some stock to protect or a very active family where he can join in the fun.
Grimalkin is a lot like his brother Paul. And he has found a home and earned a new name: Adonis Wolfirik.
Grimalkin (Now Adonis) has gone home. Congratulations, Sophie! He is looking forward to running off those pesky predators, looking out for his poultry flock and joining his new mom as a running buddy!
He loves to play, especially anything high energy. He likes to chase toys, pounce on the teeter totter and explore new things in his environment. He is still young, but I see some guardian instincts in him. He is one of the more vocal puppies and was the first to find his bark. When mom and dad go out to bark at coyotes, he will sometimes add in his two cents from the safety of his bed. And when the puppies were first moved downstairs, he would bark at the guineas. Once they were old enough to be let outside, he accepted the guineas and their noise fine. He spends a lot of time watching them from his side of the fence, but he doesn't bother them or chase them when he is out and approached with curiosity when one jumped in the puppy pen. These are good instincts when you have stock or boundaries that need to be protected, but he will likely not do as well in an urban or suburban environment since he is more vocal. He is brave little pup and didn't retreat when the goose hissed at him (it was safe behind a fence) and wasn't bothered by the cow licking him. He will also need a good leader who can help him direct his energy toward something constructive and continue his socialization so he learns all the wonderfully helpful things an English Shepherd can do with all thar energy!

Lucy is also quite the sweetie pie. Lucy is reserved.
Lucy is another fairly laid back puppy. She is eager to please, loves her people, is good with the other animals and just loves to play. She likes tagging along for chores and investigating every scent. She is calm around the poultry and is quietly curious and will follow them around but has not shown any inclination to chase them. She's energetic, biddable and would definitely benefit from a job to do with her energy and intelligence.
And you can see how well she pays attention to her people. My daughter is just off camera in each of these shots and little Lucy watches intently to see what to do next.
Edmund has gone home to his family just around the corner (OK, a couple of corners, but still close enough for a visit!)
He's a little more independent than his sisters, but is eager to play. He loves fetch, the slide in the puppy playground and the little teeter totter. He's also pretty sure the guinea fowl should not be up on the retaining wall squawking down at him, but he isn't sure what to do about it just yet. For now, he just watches them intently. He has shown no inclination toward chasing the poultry (including those pesky guineas) when he is out of the puppy pen. He would like a home where he can put his energy to good use. So far, he is pretty motivated by play time and comes running at the sight of new objects to explore or someone who looks willing to play fetch.
Thomas is a cuddler. A lover. Definitely a very good lap warmer after a hard day of playing. Especially since he found that hill every bit as much fun as Edmund said it was.
Thomas is playful and curious, but not as assertive in the litter as some of the other puppies. He is happy to play and readily explores new places. He makes himself at home pretty quickly wherever we take him and seems to gain his confidence from being at our side. The notes on his Volhard test indicate that the tester had a hard time getting him interested in fetch because he just wanted to crawl in her lap to be petted. I think Thomas will be a dog motivated by praise and affection and will likely love to tag along anywhere he can meet people.
Mariposa is a pretty laid back young lady. Mariposa is tentatively reserved, but we will take your name if you are interested in her until we have a firm commitment.
She has a gentle disposition to accompany that curious look. She is easily redirected and is happiest when invited to do whatever you are doing.

Surge is an energetic boy, living up to his name.
Surge is curious, playful and always on the go. He loves to run with the children and is game for anything from stroller rides to sliding down the slide. His temperament test showed pretty solid threes, which is generally an energetic dog with a desire to work. He will do best in a home with an outlet for his mental and physical energy. He would like some stock to look out for, a dog sport to learn or an active family to keep him busy!
Paul is also an energetic boy with a lot of confidence.

Announcing our litter of English Shepherd puppies!
On February 3, Faithfull delivered her litter of ten in the whelping box my husband and children had made for her just the day before. Nothing like cutting it close! This is her not quite sure she likes her set up.
The mattress is there because Mouse sleeps with her beloved Faithfull until she starts delivering. Last year, Faithfull woke her up by laying a newly born puppy on her! As soon as things got started, the mattress moved out so Faithfull and her puppies could have plenty of room.
And it didn't take long at all before puppy number one came along.
And number two.
And number three.
And numbers four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and finally ten!
And for all that work, mama defnitely deserved a little nap with her newborns.
Marley, the papa of the litter, so wanted to know what was going on in that box. Everyone was paying so much attention to those squirmy, squeaky things, he knew it had to be something special.
But alas, Faithfull is a good mama and not quite ready to share her litter. Her people are allowed to touch. And to fall in love.
But for now, Papa has to wait.
I will post more about English Shepherds and how we raise our puppies later, but for those who are interested in more information, this is a link to our puppy blog that covers her last litter, including what we do to help make housebreaking easier and provide them with a stimulating environment to make their transition to their new homes easier. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or contact me and I will answer as soon as I can!

Introducing a rabbit to a puppy
One of our puppies is going to a home with rabbits so we spent some time today introducing her to our rabbit. English Shepherds are normally very good with other animals, but they always must be introduced to new animals so that they know that the animal is part of their pack. Special care must be taken with chickens, rabbits and other small animals because their quick, unpredictable movements excite the herding instincts of the dog. They can learn what to herd and what not to herd with some patience and training, as well as to not use their teeth on smaller animals.
The first step toward introducing a rabbit to a dog is really just to let it get used to the smell and movement of the animal. All of our puppies have met Bunny through her cage, smelled her and nosed her through the cage. None of them showed any particular interest beyond curiousity so I knew we were ready for the next step. If a dog is intent on the rabbit or tries to break through the cage, it is not safe to go on to the next step. Instead, work with your puppy on "watch me" or some other command to get their attention. Work as close to the rabbit cage as possible while keeping the puppy's attention on you until you can reliably call the puppy's attention to you even while right next to the rabbit.
Since Layla only sniffed curiously through the cage, today I sat with Bunny in my lap to hold her still and protect her while Layla smelled her all over. I allowed her to sniff, lick and nudge the rabbit. She did not try to use her teeth, but if she had, I would have gently pulled her away by the scruff of her neck while saying, "Easy." This video is after I let the rabbit out of my lap and got the camera while my daughter supervised the two of them. You will see her pull Layla back when she gets the rabbit too excited. It would be good to accompany that with a gentle command, such as "easy."
After a few minutes, Layla began to lose interest in the rabbit and began to explore her new area.At least for a little while before she becomes a teensy bit insulted that Bunny ignores all her invitations to play. Layla is off to a pretty good start. With continued, supervised time together, the puppy will learn that even rabbits are to be protected rather than chased.
Next week, I will show how we introduce chickens to a new puppy, starting from the beginning. Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them. If you have any questions about the litter, their parents or are interested in a puppy, please contact us (the link will take you to a contact page on my personal blog).

Our English Shepherd Puppies tackle the puppy agility course
Today we took the puppies out for a little playtime on a sort of of mini-agility course. We have a couple people from out of state looking at this litter, so we're hoping this will help them see a little of their personalities

Introducing our litter of English Shepherd puppies
They weren't too sure about being put on a table for their puppy pictures, but here are some pictures of each of the puppies in our litter. When we tested the temperaments of the puppies, none of them were concerned with loud noises, sudden movements, being held on their backs or having the webbing of their paws pressed. They have been raised with children and are used to the sudden movements and sometimes awkward snuggles of our just-turned-two year old, being dressed by our five and seven year old and being wrestled with by our 9 year old.
Fwirl is an active girl, very curious and always ready to play. She comes bounding anytime we call the puppies, get in their play area or let them out to explore the property. She pays close attention to where her humans are and stays close by, waiting to see if something fun is about to happen.
Fwirl is reserved.
Tim is a little more laid back. He likes to watch what everyone else is doing, especially when all 11 of his littermates are charging after a new toy or a new person. He is very attentive, loves snuggles and is quite playful once he has a chance to watch what is going on.
Tim is reserved and heading to Denver!
Tag is an energetic and curious puppy. He is one of the first ones to come running when people visit and will climb right in your lap and offer his kisses. He loves a good game of fetch and keeps a close eye on where his people are and what they are doing.
Zane is a sweet, playful puppy who loves his snuggles as much as tugging on his rope bone. He also enjoys a good game of chase.
Tess is the most independent of the litter, despite her small size. She is curious and playful and likes energetic play and a bit of wrestling. Being one of the smallest, she has spent quite a bit of time dressed in old baby clothes and having tea in my daughters' room.
Tess has gone home to Wichita!
Mira is a sweet girl and is energetic and playful. When there's no one to pounce on, she'll entertain herself with short sprints ending in a roll or flipping her rope bone and chasing it. And she loves when we join her in her games or show her new ones.
Mira is reserved and heading to Missouri!
Ariel is the largest of the litter and generally the first to try every thing. She's very outgoing and loves meeting people, but is not pushy or dominant like the largest puppy can often be. She got her name from the white marking on her neck. When she was little, it looked like a mermaid. The pattern is still there, but not as defined as when she was smaller.
Matthieus is a very sweet, even-tempered dog. He's very focused on us and what we're doing and loves going for walks to explore our property.
Jay is a quick learner and very agile. He loves climbing, running and jumping. He is the alpha of our little litter, but tested very well for sociability and trainability.
Jay has found a home with the Sundance Ski Patrol and has begin his training to become an alpine rescue dog!
Kai is a sweet little puppy and the runt of the litter. Because of his small size since birth, he has received a lot of extra attention. We brought him out to nurse separately from the others and helped him find a teat when they were nursing together to make sure he was getting enough nutrition and gaining properly. The girls also like to dress him up alongside Tess and he doesn't even mind pink, so long as it comes with snuggles from his children. He's very outgoing, quite the snuggler and very attentive and curious.
Layla is a sweet little girl who loves her snuggles and her rope bone. She also tends to watch a little before joining in. She isn't the first to come running when new people come to visit, but she will warm up to you in a little bit.
She was the first one chosen and is going to a family friend.
Mattimeo is another snuggler. He stays close by on walks, always watches to see what is going on and will follow you anywhere for a good belly rub or scratch behind the ears.
Mattimeo went home to Omaha!
