INTRODUCTION

WELCOME TO Pioden (pronounced: pee-or-den). This blog features all news and photos from the litter of Pug puppies I am helping to raise. The mother is called Madge and she is six years old. She's my mother's dog but is a family pet. Due to the work involved in raising puppies, and the fact that I adore babies of all kinds, I always help out. I have raised a seven-puppy litter before; when I'm not raising puppies I work as a dog-sitter.


HISTORY

Madge successfully raised seven puppies in the beginning of 2006. My mother kept one of the boys, Fall Out Boy, and he will be going to Crufts next year. While I kept one of the girls, Sweepie, who will be having a litter of her own when she's old enough. Madge visited the same dog as last time, so the puppies born now will be true brothers and sisters to the original litter.

My mother is a qualified vet-nurse so everything is done very safely and for the best interest of Madge.

SAFETY

Please be aware when buying puppies. Do not buy from puppy famers/dealers. Always view the puppies with their mother. Make sure the animals are well looked after and kept in a clean environment. If you are buying a Pedigree dog only buy one with the correct papers - if they don't have papers then they are not Pedigree dogs, or have been acquired illegally.

For more information, please, please read the following article: A Guide To Buying A Puppy Safely


DISCLAIMER



Raising puppies is a time-consuming and expensive venture. Please think carefully before breeding with your dog. To stop unwanted pregnancies you should get your dog neutered. For females that takes place after their first season; for males it can be done at any time.

The First Bath

Check out the little stinkers before their baths, looking very smug in their puppy smellyness...







First up was Dolores, who wasn't very impressed at all...









Next up was Wednesday, who took it in her stride...







Clean puppies!

Fighting Pups



Friday, 7 December 2007 | 14:30

The pups have learned that fighting one another is fun. So they spend most of their time now rolling each other around the floor, seeing who will win.









And here's just some gorgeous photos I had to share...
