Langhaar

Galiléo du Domaine de l’Ancien Hêtre

Our amazing dog Leo passed away yesterday after suffering for 7 months from a lung cancer. Only nine and a half years old, he was our first Langhaar and he was the reason we decided to start breeding these wonderful dogs. Leo was a kind and loving dog, never aggressive, always attentive. He was big and strong with a long coat that gave him a regal look. We never bred with him unfortunately due to a genetic problem that was discovered when he was one year old, but he was a good member of the ‘pack’, looking after the other female dogs at home. He will always have a place in our hearts. RIP.

Notre Léo s’est éteint hier après 7 mois de lutte contre le cancer du poumon. Il avait seulement 9  et demi et était notre premier Langhaar, celui qui nous a inspiré pour faire l’élevage de cette merveilleuse race. Léo était gentil et aimant, jamais agressif et toujours près de nous. Il était grand et fort, avec un poil long et fourni qui le rendait si spécial. Nous n’avons jamais reproduit avec lui malheureusement car il avait un problème génétique, découvert alors qu’il avait 1 an, mais il était à la tête de la ‘meute’, prenant soin de Lois et Nym, les chiennes de la maison et de leurs chiots. Il restera à jamais dans nos coeur. RIP.

This was the day we selected Leo from the litter. Voici le jour où nous avons choisi Léo

 

Notre Lois nous a quitté aujourd’hui suite à des complications liées à l anesthésie pour faire la césarienne dans la nuit de vendredi à samedi. Elle restera à jamais dans nos coeurs.

Je posterai une mise à jour sur les quatre chiots plus tard. Ils vont bien, ils sont tous bien nourris et nourris au biberon régulièrement.

 

Lois passed away today whilst in an induced coma. She had suffered a hypoxia after the cesarean operation in the early hours of Saturday morning. The vet said the hypoxia was most likely due to a reaction to the morphine given during the op. Unfortunately, an emergency operation, with one vet on duty at 2am is not the best time of day to perform any operation with no assistance. The vets have done all they could now for Lois, but alas, she did not recover.

She will be missed by all, our champion dog, wonderful mother and really loving and beautiful girl.

I will post an update on the four pups later. They are doing fine, and are all well nourished and being bottle fed every couple of hours.

Puppies outside in the afternoon sun.

The names below are the nicknames we have used (some have a few).

The rope is from a tent that was up in the garden:

We have now a new puppy pen, which will allow them to stretch their legs a bit. We had planned on covering the floor only with clean, dust-free sawdust, but one of our friend suggested adding meadow hay on top of the sawdust. It helps train the puppies to pee outside and it seems to be working. They sleep on their bed, and when they need to pee, then get up and move off onto the hay.

Here below, Leo is inspecting this new construction in the kitchen.

Lois and the pups move in and inspect the new pen.

They are comfortable on the bed, safe and secure.

This is the last photo from the whelping box. Happens when mum is going around cleaning up, the puppies sit and drink. Quite funny to see.

It has been really warm, so we let the puppies out in the evening when the sun had gone down a bit. This it their first time on grass.   Comme il fait beau nous avons passé un peu de temps dehors avec les chiots dans leur tout nouvel enclos, juste à l’heure du repas !

Léo would love to be in the pen too, but Loïs doesn ‘t agree yet ! – Léo aimerait aussi être dans l’enclos mais ce n’est pas l’avis de Loïs

Puppies are doing really well. Growth is fine and last night we started them on soaked and mixed puppy crunchies. They love the porridge mix. so now are haveing that as a supliment to mum’s milk. Here are a few pics after they were fed, with mum cleaning up the mess. Since this first try we feed them outside the box to keep the box clean.

 

Here today we have been feeding them outside the box – a much better idea.

 

Here is a graph of the pup’s weight so far:
