And then they were gone

The puppies reached seven weeks of age and then started to leave home, and to enjoy new lives with their super families, am hopeful that we will get regular pictures as they grow up to share on this blog.

Maunu

The amazingly chunky first born - Mauno now weighs a whopping 5060g - must take the record for the heaviest pup I have bred at this age!  Looks like he might be nicknamed Marmite having joined Bill and Jean in Crawley, W Sussex.  

Nicotiemus

Am sure our second boy - Nicotiemus is going to look like his handsome dad, he is a more normal 4030g, and has gone north to the Lakes and now lives in Barrow with Rose and Andy, hopefully will contribute to the entries in the north of England and Scotland!  His dad is owned by Jordie and Nico, not sure if  its a compliment having a pup named after you!!!

Lumikko

Another heavyweight in puppy dog three, AKA Lumikko now at 4650g, who will be kept busy in his new family - joining Ciaran, Clair, Sarah, Shauna and Mum & Dad in Northwood.

Kiitos

The only bitch in the litter was the fourth born, though much lighter than her brothers she is still a pretty hefty 3860g, now called Kiitos (we are guessing that she will have plenty of nick names!) she is joining Inko and Paula and Adam in Camberley - yes Surrey Lappy numbers continue to rise!!! You can check on Kiitos' news on her family blog - Living with a Lappy

Onni

Onni was our little stowaway - the surprise bonus boy - at 4860g he'd struggle to hide away now being a chunky chap.  He has headed west to Wiltshire to join Mike, Charlotte and Sam.  

Fingers crossed we will be seeing a number of these in the show ring at some point!






A special well done to Kaisa who returned to the show ring when her pups were eight weeks of age - to qualify for Crufts for life being awarded her Stud Book number on winning Open bitch under Harry Tast at Southern Cos
