Typical "Wyatt" puppy
Each Hillstone litter is whelped in our bedroom where the puppies remain with mom until approximately 3-4 weeks of age. When their eyes and ears open, they are relocated to our living room where they can experience the sounds of the home -- TV, vacuum cleaner, etc.
Weaning is typically achieved at 5 weeks of age at which time pups move to a large puppy play pen where they can enjoy more interaction with their littermates.
Some of the wonderful Shelties that have touched our lives over the past 30 years...
