7 week old German Shepherd RESCUE PUPPIES swim with mum for the first time
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
It’s that very important time in our rescue German Shepherd puppies’ lives called the critical socialisation period or early exposure period, where they need to experience as much as they possibly can to prepare them for a well adjusted adult life.
They’re getting more opportunities than most puppies at this time, especially those born into a rescue/shelter situation.
Everyday they have lots of time with dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds. They get lots of exposure to different people; children, babies too.
Today they joined mum Lucy for their very first swim. They all put on their doggy life jackets and headed to the dam with mum.
They played along the shore, in the sand. They even went for swims following mum in. The bigger girl (the most timid of them all) actually swam out across the dam with mum which was very impressive.
Everything was important and positive for them. Even being handled by Elle and Evie; being picked up, dried off etc. These moments are really important. All 3 of the puppies are developing such loving affection towards the kids.
After their swim we dried them off with towels and also a quick blow dry. Another great thing for them to get used to.
They’re doing so well and it’s been fun for the whole family to get involved in their development.
And now it’s soon time for them to start school. Training will commence in a week’s time. We’re all excited to watch these puppies further develop into the best little doggies they can be.

Love how she carries the pupper like a suitcase
Just woke up in the dark here🇵🇹 in a blowing gale to find a pack of puppies geared up for a swim. How their future has been assured by the love the Evans family has lavished on them. Lots of furry guardian angels 👼 looking out for the pups too. Happy Sunday everyone wherever you are.

What! Already, they have grown so fast.
Hilarious seeing Uncle Luke trying to wrangle the puppies into their floaties at the beginning. Lucy seems to love the dam. She looked so relaxed in the water.
LOL! Pure joy!

Lucy certainly loves the water but being under the ramp made me very nervous. But all was well, I was just born to worry. The puppies are growing up so fast. Thank you for making Lucy's experience so much better this time. God bless you all.
Luke and Sam, it warms my heart to see how much fun your whole family is having raising these pups. All of you deserve the joy.
I was betting on the littlest one ( bravest so far ) jumping right in with mom. Fooled me. But I'm sure she'll get there. Now, have to go watch it again...and again. Makes for sweet dreams to go to bed smiling.

Nice to see the pups fat and active. The runt had me worried for the longest time, but his ears were the first to remain upright so I knew he'd be just fine. What a great Mum they have. They were all so fortunate to get away from that shelter.
Oh good gracious the puppy's life jackets in the thumb nail?? Precious! Good thing they have handles for the lift across the paddock!

What a lovely time at the farm. Thank you for sharing with us.
Those puppa’s make the cutest handbags 😃
Such a wonderful start in their lives. Being raised on the farm.
That was so beautiful and calming for me. Watching your children interact with the dogs makes me yearn to be 7 years old again! God bless you Uncle Luke and Auntie Sam for sharing your love with the world.🐾☺🐾💖🐾👍🐾

I have never clicked on one of your videos quicker. These puppies have to be the best socialized pups EVER. They have experienced so much in the short 7 weeks of life it is awesome. Seeing how calm Lucy is now is great. And knowing uncle Yo-Yo is on hand to monitor the puppies is so cute knowing how his journey started. At the back of a cage, scared and un-trusting, to see him flourish, so cool to see.

Lucy was really enjoying her swim time. She is such a good Mom. What a fun age for the puppies with new adventures daily. Major cuteness when the ears starting to standing and they get those expressive shepherd looks. Lucky pups!
This must be one of the most delightful videos you have ever made! ❤️ Surely it was providential, the day Luke walked into that dog shelter!
Awwwoooo, I love family day!
Putting life vests on the puppies reminds me of trying to diaper a busy 2 yr old... x3. Little one moving her legs like she wanted to run away from the air; brother fighting it off; other sister just putting up with it. Such different personalities. And Lovely Lucy leading her pups on a merry chase around the dam - escaping into the water. That must feel really good.
Thanks for a wonderful update Aunty Sam, Uncle Luke, Evie, Elle and somewhere little Wolfy! Also lovely to see Aunties Cutie Pie and Joey, Tilly and Uncle YoYo helping take care of the puppies. ❤🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
What a lovely family day at the pond.
Your family are remarkable caretaker for these dogs. They're absolutely adorable. Your wife may have told you don't hit them with such a force using a hose. That hurts.
CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!

So cute when Evie was walking in the dam being trailed by a pup. Love the way Uncle Yoyo keeps an eye on the pups to keep them safe. Thanks for sharing all the highlights of the pups training.

I only found the site yesterday and I’m binge watching. The Farm is breathtaking. What a gorgeous piece of land being put to great use. I keep thinking “bet no one is awake after 7:00”. What a wonderful way to raise children. Their level of enthusiasm is lovely. I feel inadequate that everyone knows every dog’s name. This has to be Doggie Utopia.
oh please just keep them all, they love it there so much!
