7 week old German Shepherd RESCUE PUPPIES swim with mum for the first time

  • 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.

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: The only time away from the kids is when she’s in the water…

      At least until they learn how to swim, gain confidence about it, and graduate out of their life vests, teehee

    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.

    What a fun and lovely video. Thanks for showcasing Lucy and her 3 little munchins. Loved it when Elle was carrying a pup like a suitcase, they are very portable in those vests. 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.
