RiverRock just concluded our annual Puppy Party. When puppies are 5-7 weeks old, I invite my groomers, trainers (obedience, rally, herding), vets, vet techs, and butcher over for pizza and puppies. I order pizza, and they play with the puppies. It's easy, and a lot of fun. Not only is it good socialization for the puppies, but it is a good way for me to show them that I think of them as part of my team and that I appreciate them very much! Just thought some of you might like to try it. Below is a link to the Danny von Wilhendorf X Callie puppies at 5 1/2 weeks. They are pictured with a family that has been flying back and forth from Colorada to Minnesota, and then driving another hundred miles to and from the airport to my house, to see the puppies. Even though they are only interested in a pet, I feel honored that they have done a lot of shopping and have chosen my litter. They are a wonderful family...the kind we would all like to place a pet puppy with. They all grew up with German Shepherds and are ready to pass this legacy on to the two adorable little boys who are so good with the puppies. I hope I will have something for them after Kent evaluates the litter this Sunday. Can't wait! Enjoy the pictures! Kirk is my favorite. http://www.photoshow.com/watch/WX4HH6DZ Zoa Dr. Zoa Rockenstein www.riverrockshepherds.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
