7 week old German Shepherd RESCUE PUPPIES swim with mum for the first time
Spread The Viralist



It’s that very important time in our rescue German Shepherd puppies’ lives called the critical socialisation period or early exposure period, where they need to experience as much as they possibly can to prepare them for a well adjusted adult life.

They’re getting more opportunities than most puppies at this time, especially those born into a rescue/shelter situation.

Everyday they have lots of time with dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds. They get lots of exposure to different people; children, babies too.

Today they joined mum Lucy for their very first swim. They all put on their doggy life jackets and headed to the dam with mum.

They played along the shore, in the sand. They even went for swims following mum in. The bigger girl (the most timid of them all) actually swam out across the dam with mum which was very impressive.

Everything was important and positive for them. Even being handled by Elle and Evie; being picked up, dried off etc. These moments are really important. All 3 of the puppies are developing such loving affection towards the kids.

After their swim we dried them off with towels and also a quick blow dry. Another great thing for them to get used to.

They’re doing so well and it’s been fun for the whole family to get involved in their development.

And now it’s soon time for them to start school. Training will commence in a week’s time. We’re all excited to watch these puppies further develop into the best little doggies they can be.
