Impressions

Flint was born on the 27th of February at 02.35 a.m. with 370 gr as the 3rd of 6 pups. He was quite small and first we thought he is a bitch!!!
2017
Already with 3 weeks "Mr Purple" knows that he is something special...
2017
...and very curious.
2017
As curious that he becomes the "king of escape"!
2017
He loves to carry everything around and with 7 weeks he retrieves a partridge (as all our pups in this litter).
2017
With 8 weeks we have to say good-bye to him as he is sold to a nice place in Sussex.

2019
Not sure what the future will bring!
2019
First his broken tail has to heal...

...and enjoys his new life.
