Week 7
Belles Care Bears are 7 weeks old! That means they will be ready for their new homes next week! The pups had the busiest week yet. We officially have everyone taking short naps in their own crates. We are so proud of how great this group is doing! We continue our very frequent trips outside, and the pups are doing wonderful with potty training. Were confident they will have a great head start when they go to their new families.
Weve been taking the pups on short car trips, this whole group travels wonderfully! The pups are now completely weaned from Mama, and are super focused on us humans now. They had their visit to the vet yesterday, everyone did greatl! We got so many compliments about how calm and chill the group was. Every puppy got their first set of shots, deworming, microchip, and a clean bill of health.
We did Temperament testing this morning and the whole group scored similarly with the everyone scoring mostly 3’s and 4’s.
*Wish, Share, and Brave heart scored a 5 on the restraint test which just means they did not struggle at all when being placed on their backs.
Before you read the individual info, I can honestly say this whole group is amazing. There really is no wrong choice, and temperament wise this bunch is very similar. We have some pups that are just a bit more playful and some that are slightly more mellow, but on the whole this group is wonderful and very even tempered. Everyone has gorgeous fleece hypo allergenic coats that will likely be straight to wavy/straight. Each pup in the group loves kids, is friendly and cheerful, and gets along really well with other doggies.
Brave Heart Lion
Brave Heart is a sweet, super friendly boy. He has wonderful eye contact and is very people focused. He is a perfect combination of adventurous, playful, and a sweet cuddle bear. Brave heart lion was born with a slight bend in his tail, we had our vet take a look at it and she confirmed as we suspected, its purely cosmetic and will not affect him in any way. Brave heart will likely grow to be about 55-60lbs.
Good Luck Bear
Good Luck, or Lucky as we like to call him, is a mellow, chill boy. He prefers to be in our arms or by our feet as opposed to playing and will likely grow to be a giant lap doggy. Lucky is very focused and will likely be easy to train, he sits up at attention, makes great eye contact, and has just a really great calm focus about himself. Lucky is the largest in the litter and will likely grow to be around 60lbs.
Share Bear
Share is sweet and gentle, always happy to great you with a wagging tail and sweet puppy licks. She has a happy go lucky, easy going personality. We find that Share is happy to play, if one of our children wants to throw the ball around, but will just as quickly snuggle in to your lap if thats what your looking for. Almost as if to say, im happy doing whatever your doing. Share will likely grow to be around 50lbs
Funshine Bear
Funshine, is sweet and super laid back. She is probably the most mellow of the girls, preferring to snuggle rather than play. Funshine loves kids, and has the most beautiful blue gray eyes. She cracks us up because she always has this "sad puppy" expression even though shes a super happy girl. Funshine will likely grow to be about 50 lbs
Cheer Bear
Cheer is such a happy little girl and is definitely the goof ball of the group. Cheers personality reminds us alot of her mama Belle. Cheer is very bright, and curious and is always the one to facilitate playtime with her siblings. We have no doubt, Cheer will bring lots of joy to the family that brings her home. Cheer will likely grow to be about 55lbs
Wish Bear
Wish, is very playful always wagging her tail and happy. She is such a good mix of playful and cuddly, being very content to play with the group, but also one of the first to settle in by our feet, or in our arms once she has had enough. She is very bright and loves kids, snuggles, and playtime. She looks very similar to her sister Funshine but has a black nose and a bit more white markings. Wish will likely grow to be around 55lbs

Week 3
Look at all these sweet little faces!!! Belles Care Bears are 3 weeks old.
It’s so amazing how fast the pups are developing. We hope you saw the video we posted on our Instagram earlier in the week.
Just about everyone’s eyes are all the way opened. Funshine is just a little behind, you might notice in her photo her eyes are not quite all the way opened yet, any day now we expect to see them completely opened. Size differences are becoming more apparent. It looks as though Funshine will be just a little smaller than her siblings. It also appears she will have a cute little brown nose. Their individual unique markings, are really starting to stand out as they are growing. The whole group is now practicing walking on all 4s as they are becoming more mobile, we will introduce a sleep nest this week, and a designated potty area in their pen. Puppies instinctively want to move away from their sleep area to go potty, by setting these designated spaces up early, we are setting the groundwork for potty training.
Now that the puppies can hear, we have begun sound desensitization with the group. We play lots of different sounds ; dogs barking, vacuums, motorcycles, doorbells, babies crying, fireworks etc. The goal is to introduce them to these sounds early, before the fear stage sets in, and the end result is a puppy that is comfortable, well adjusted, and not fearful when they hear these sounds throughout their life.
We continue our daily cuddles with the group, (this bunch is just especially chill) with most of them falling asleep in our arms.
The puppies are still very focused on mama Belle, that will continue through the next few weeks until they are weened. This group is bringing our family so much joy! We love these little guys. Here they are at 3 weeks. Belles Care Bears.

Week 2
Belle’s Care Bears are 2 weeks old today! We are amazed at how fast these babies are growing. This is our first litter of full Standards and it's amazing to see how much larger this bunch already is. Belle continues to be a wonderful and attentive mama. Belle's sister Winnie (Auntie Winnie to the pups) and Mama Elsa (Grandmother to the pups) are both eager to help clean and care for the bunch, Mama Belle fully trusts them, and it's truly something that is so sweet to watch. This group is in such good hands.
We seriously can't get enough of this gentle little bunch. Cuddle time has been extra fun, with every single pup being so totally chill and relaxed we call them floppy puppies when they go totally limp while being held, this whole bunch is a floppy little bunch! We've started to hear little barks from Wish and Funshine on occasion, and they have all started to move about the pen quite well. It won't be long before they are up on all 4’s walking. Eyes have not opened yet but it will be any day now. We noticed this morning with Good Luck that we can see just the smallest bit peaking through. By the end of this week, we expect to see everyones eyes opened! We are just over the moon with this whole group and can't wait to continue to watch them grow.
