The puppies in the home
Here we live with our natural mother and our human family. We start our lives growing in a large room about 20 square metres in size. It is a bright and friendly place close to the kitchen, from here we can watch Frauchen every day doing her housework, we also get used to all the new smells and sounds such as the washing machine, vacuum cleaner, radio etc.
After about five weeks we are moved to a separate heated area beside the family house. Here we have a large area where we can do what we like, as we have a lot of energy. Our people family can still see us from their window. Daily we go into the garden on a journey of discovery. It is about 10.000 metre squared and we can do a lot more, we find something new each day to learn. We can chew the grass, play with the sticks, chase the sheets on the washing line and try to catch the mice and birds.
When new visitors arrive we get really excited, as this is someone new to play with. This helps us gain new experience before we go to our new home, which helps us, settle in quickly.
