The pup with the wound is doing much better, taking her topical meds without too much anxiety. We actually talked about keeping her, but we agreed to let her go to a family that will want her and love her so it would not be cool to go back on that; she is a sweet girl and will be a great part of the family. Her injuries are healing so falls on the wife to decide when she is ready to go.
We still have a male that we thought was going to a new home, no response lately so he is up for a new home. He is the biggest of our pups and still a sweet guy, reminds me of Romo. If someone cannot take him into a new home I will keep him (depending on Cherry); I want to keep him, he is cool.

We really appreciated you and your lovely wife's hospitality yesterday. It is always great to chew the fat over a few cold ones; plus our wives seem to enjoy their girl talk.
It was nice to see Midnight again as it has been awhile. I don't know if she remembers us our not but she was such an affectionate dog. Shadow will be a great addition to the family.
Today a female and male went out to new homes, the two other females have found their homes, just waiting for them to be picked up. We have a female that has an injury to her mouth, she has been claimed but will not let her go until we know she will be OK; hopefully the vet checks her out on Monday; we will not let her go out until she has a clean bill of health as it would not be responsible.
Our last pup is a male, he is going to be a big boy; I won't let him go until they see his big brother ":Romo"...folks need an idea on how big he will be.

I gave the pups another dose of deworming meds yesterday, just wanted to make sure they were good to go to their new homes. A male pup went to his new home this morning, another male will be going out this afternoon and I will be taking a male tomorrow for Jack. Only one male will be left. One female has also been claimed, just waiting for him to come get her.
It is sad to see the little guys go as you really get attached to them but it is good to know they are going to homes that will love them. I think our little runt dog will miss the pups the most as she had 7 playmates that were closer to her size even though they are bigger than her now.
The male I kept from the first litter is now taller than his Belgian Malinois mother, he takes after the Dalmatian father more on build so he is not going to be as thick as the Belgian. Just a reminder that they are cute little pups now but will be big beautiful dogs later.

Our papered Belgian Malinois gave birth to 7 pups on April 23rd, their father was a beautiful Dalmatian. 4 males and 3 females. We are ready to let them find new homes around the first of July. All shots and deworming are up to date and we will be current on their regiment as they find new homes.
They are mostly housebroken, none take a dump in the house but we are still working out the pee issue; with 7 it can be tough to figure out who the culprit is. They are very socialized with other dogs, adults and small children. We do not have cats or other critters but I think they are young enough for the introduction to other pets.
There is a lot of views that it is irresponsible to cross pure bred dogs as well as folks that think bringing in some additional blood makes the subsequent dogs healthier. We are not breeders or a puppy farm kind of thing, the first litter was Cherry's idea; the second litter was an accident. As the first litter went to new homes it was difficult as we fell in love with the pups.
We were totally surprised to see a fawn colored Belgian Malinois and a Dalmatian produce black puppies with white chests and black spots. I kept one from the first litter as I fell in love with him. From experience I can attest to how intelligent, loving and protective he is. Mother and Father have the attributes to be some of the best dogs and this cross gives the best of both breeds in my opinion.
We do not believe it is healthy or humane to cage or chain a dog up, they need to be part of the family and loved. A dog or animal lover will understand this. With that said we will never let one of our dogs go into that situation knowing. Cherry recently learned that the last pup from the first litter is currently caged up, which is a complete lie from what the guy promised us. He was a great dog and we are both concerned, she wants to go choke the guy out, under 5' but I would not go up against a girl full of p*ss and vinegar.
A great thing is that I have an 8 month old (Romo) that you can visit to see what you are getting. I included more pictures of him as I want folks to see how big the pups will get. Romo is 8 months and not done growing.
I was told that the price of the first litter of pups at 3000 pesos was too cheap and expats may think the quality of the dogs was suspect. His parents cost a hell of a lot more but I was going with what I thought was fair for the pups.
I'm going to go the opposite way; if you can promise me that the pups will never be caged or chained and they will be allowed to run and be part of the family then I will give them for free.
