Sharing our love of Large Munsterlanders  with other breeds!

Introducing a new name to the site - HESSONITE some of you may think what is this to do with munsters? Well - she produces the ideal leads and collars on which to show your munsters, and she is related to Alan, and Dot of the Datroy Affix - so good enough for me!!! Plus she breeds Golden Retrievers, a breed I have long since hankered after.............  Scroll down to see a litter of Goldies growing up week by week.

Julie and her Goldies.....  Julie has a litter due - anyone interested - feel free to get in touch. - and we hope to be including photos too...................

Below:  Fiona, Julie and Alan happy family snap! To see more of Alan and his Munster, Herman, click here.

Hessonite Show Leads (and Golden Retrievers)

Rosie gave birth to a lovely litter of 3 bitches and 8 dogs, in various shades of cream and golden, all over one pound in weight!. All the bitches are sold and four of the dogs. Aren’t they gorgeous?  Anyone interested, get in touch via the usual  blitzanmunsters@yahoo.co.uk address, and we will forward all genuine enquires.  

Pic to the left, Rosie enjoying scrambled egg on toast after her “labours” and pic below - babies lined up to feed at the milk bar.

We look forward to more pics as they grow up.

Updated 18th March.

One Week on - and Rosie’s puppies are visibly growing...  

Don’t they look beautiful?

Updated 27th March. Photo’s taken yesterday,

At two weeks old now the puppies are growing fast, see pics below, taking on individual characteristics, and - growing so fast there is less room at the milk bar!

Updated 2nd April.  (See pics below), the pups are growing fast, still plenty of socialisation, the pups meet not “just” Mum, but other adult dogs (and cats!) and children.  This is how it should be when, and where, you buy a pup.  Some people have asked “how can you say how pups should be reared when you do not breed” quite simply, I have never baked a cake! But I know how a cake should taste!!! I have also had many young dogs and puppies, and know the advantages in good early socialisation! And why use “goldies” as an example? Well - again, simple - no politics involved!  I am not advising one munster breeder over another........  These goldies are just wonderful examples.......... And it is an illustration  of how a litter should be brought up!  ..... Owner Julie runs the household around them - even making up a few of her dog leads (see Hessonite website)  whilst watching them!

To the left, “a family affair”  3 adults, 11 puppies, and one lucky person cuddling puppies.....

and below - Auntie Bella - getting some practise in at “Mothering”........... Maybe one day she will have a litter and I will get “my boy”

Updated 9th April. I love to see puppies growing up, and feel we have been very lucky to “capture” these week by week.  Here are a couple of the more recent photos (below) now being weaned (Julie is a keen follower of  the barf diet)

Paws crossed for a “forever family” for all of them!  And puppy  “snuggling”  up to Grandma, 3 generations of Goldies together in the household.

Updated 15th April, the pups are now 5 weeks old, see below, and are developing more and more individual characteristics. The puppy “enclosure” has had to be extended and the range of toys increased!  One use for old baby toys I guess.....

They will soon be ready to go to their new homes, I, for one, will miss them!  I hope maybe one of the new owners can be persuaded to stay in touch!

But at least we know that they will be well prepared for the big wide world......

Last updated 22nd April.  I have really enjoyed watching these puppies grow up.  And - aren’t they gorgeous?  Lol - I dare not go and see them again - sure that dark boy would end up in the back of my car!!!

The “family group” left is a lovely picture, wouldn’t you just love to sit out their in the sunshine - and just watch them - I wouldn’t get a lot of work done that’s for sure.  Thanks Julie for this “diary”

Already retrieving! And so cute!!

I want one!!!

Two of the puppies - playing with the family cat! All part of socialisation and growing up., and right - isn’t this one gorgeous? - well aren’t they all? But - would love to be bringing this one home! Yes, really have decided a Goldie is for me one day!!!

All the litter have a theme to the nam,es - Apples! This one - right - (I think) is to be Hessonite Sugar Shack!  

As I said on the home page, I hope some of the new owners will stay in touch, and send in the occasional photo! To blitzanmunsters@yahoo.co.uk  Thanks.

Thanks also to Julie for allowing us to follow this litter each week, it has been surprisingly popular - and it seems I am not the only munster owner with an interest in other breeds.
