Week 7 Puppy Update.
Week 6 Puppy Update.
Week 5 Puppy Update
Another highly eventful week for the youngsters, with several important milestones reached. The erratic weather has meant that the pups have only this last week been able to get outside for the first time, but some warm sunny days have now given them lots of opportunities to explore their outdoor run and gain valuable exposure to outdoor sites and sounds at the same time.
Lots of visitors have come to see them too, with many toes chewed and many laps fallen asleep on.
At the same time, they transitioned seamlessly from hand-feeding of solid foods to using their big-boys-and-girls weaner feeder, something that every generation of Belatarr puppies before them have used and benefitted from.
Also, just like every previous generation of Belatarr puppies, these 5 love snuggling into their mini-den, whether they are indoors or out:
And finally, this week’s portrait shots:

Week 4 Puppy Update.
Week 3 Puppy Update
Big changes this week as the pups’ eyesight and hearing come fully online, their walking grows stronger and more stable and they start to explore their new world. We can now finally see their rapidly developing heads properly too, so without further ado, these are their 3-week-old headshots:
And not forgetting, some action shots as the pups romp (and chew) together.
Week 2 Puppy Update.
A big week for the youngsters, with their first attempts to walk (the wobbly spider phase) starting on day 11 and Miss Purple taking the lead by opening one eye on the evening of day 12. Everyone’s eyes are just about semi-open now, (day 14) but it will be a blurry further week or so before things come into proper focus and they can finally see where they are. The past few days have also seen (or heard, at least) a variety of mini barks and sleep baby-growls and squeaks as their ears have opened and they start to practise their vocal skills.
Puppies Arrive!
We are thrilled to be able to announce the safe arrival of our new generation of Belatarr puppies. 4 girls and 1 boy, all wriggling, chirruping and feeding vigorously! Proud mum Aja is wonderfully attentive and maternal but also very happy to resume her pre-pregnancy athletic lifestyle, now that she’s no longer carrying all that extra weight with her.
Announcing Our New Litter
It is with great excitement and anticipation that we can announce our next generation of Belatarr puppies.
Our beloved girl Belatarr Asia (Aja) has been confirmed in whelp to Show Champion Aldozovolgyi-Drotos Nador at Enryb JW Sh CM (IMP HUN) (Peter)
This is a long-awaited and carefully planned union that we hope will build upon the strengths that we have established with our very successful previous litters. Aja, sired by Champion Zoldmali Szeles Morganna JW, is a very feminine girl who combines an exceptionally pretty head with a superb, deep-russet wire coat and has the most wonderfully affectionate temperament – a constant joy to live with!

Show Champion Peter, from the well-known Enryb Kennel, is one of the country’s top show HWV’s. He is the sire of the Crufts 2022 Best of Breed winner and is also a sound working dog which he combines with a very gentle, playful and affectionate nature.

This mating is the first to bring together two of the UK’s top Show Champions and, in combination with our own champion show-line, we have high hopes that some very promising puppies may result.
Puppies: week 7
After enduring endless weeks of rain, high winds and unseasonably cold temperatures, conditions have at last returned to more normal for August and the puppies have finally been able to get out onto the grass, making life more interesting for them and much easier for us. Now fully weaned and (most, at least) with a full set of puppy teeth, they are readily tucking into their raw diet interspersed with goat’s milk and will soon be heading off to their exciting new lives in their loving new homes, so this coming week will be their final one with the whole litter together.

Puppies: week 6
Time is flying by and the puppies are looking very grown-up now, fully weaned from mum and getting stronger and more boisterous by the day. Once again, the often terrible weather has meant that they are indoors more than outdoors, but they certainly make the most of it when the sun does make an appearance.
