It’s been a week since Keiko delivered her beautiful litter of eight chocolate puppies, and what a lovely, settled week it has been.
All eight pups are thriving, feeding well, and steadily gaining weight. They are still very much in the sleepy newborn stage, but their little legs are getting stronger each day and they are beginning to shuffle around the whelping box with a bit more purpose.
Keiko continues to be an excellent mum. She is calm, attentive, and completely at ease with her puppies. She keeps them spotless and is always close by, but is also happy to take short breaks to stretch her legs and enjoy her meals, especially if sardines are involved.
We are loving watching this lovely box of chocolates grow and change every day. We expect to see their eyes starting to open over the next week, which is always a lovely milestone.
More updates coming soon.
We still have two spaces for girls from this litter. If you are interested in one of Keiko’s puppies, please complete our new owner questionnaire on our website.
