The Adorable 8 are 3 weeks old!
Our spoodle puppies are now supporting their little bodies, beginning to play with each other, and exploring their surroundings with curiosity. Follow their journey as we gently introduce new sights, sounds, and continue daily handling to help them grow into confident, happy companions.

INTERESTING FACT
Dogs have about 1,700 taste buds, while humans have roughly 9,000. But unlike us, dogs have specialised taste buds just for water!
Week 3
Week 3 Highlights
Growing up fast: Each puppy now weighs around 1kg — nearly three times their birth weight
On the move: They can now fully support their bodies, moving around confidently and starting to play with each other.
Sights & sounds: We’ve begun gently introducing loud and unusual noises. Exposure at this age helps them become calmer and more resilient to new environments as adults.
Daily handling: We’ve introduced 10 daily gentle handling exercises. These include gently rubbing ears, covering eyes, opening mouths, rubbing tummies, touching feet, noses, and nails. This early practice sets them up to handle grooming, vet visits, and everyday handling with ease.
INTERESTING FACT
Once their scent glands are fully developed, puppies can smell up to 1,000 times better than humans!
