Why “Colorful”?
Because color is more than pigment—it is feeling. These White Swiss Shepherd puppies arrive in pure white coats, but their spirits will burst with colorful personalities: bold reds, thoughtful blues, joyful yellows, mysterious purples, and peaceful greens. Each pup reveals a new shade of devotion and depth, reminding us that color lives within. Their names will honor emotion and character rather than outward appearance. Each carries a unique color-inspired identity, promising to bring warmth and brightness to their forever homes. Even in white, they live in color. |

Every day these beauties are growing and their eyes (and probably their ears too) are trying to open. It's such a wonder. They are also trying to stand and walk, but that looks still more like a couple of drunken sailors then anything else:-))) Mr. White is now Mr. Blue which is more appropriate for being part of the Colorful litter, I think.
Evie is also doing great, she eats for 10, and she's fully back with the pack playing ball and running around. She still is protective over the little ones, but I am trying to have Jessie with the pups one of these days. Because Jessie is Evie's best friend she'll welcome her with her pups.
We did have 'beschuit met muisjes' which is tradition in the Netherlands when a baby is born, we get a sort of biscuit with a little butter and Anise sprinkles, either pink for a girl or blue for a boy. Because we have both we had to eat at least two 'beschuitjes':-)))
And we also continue daily with ENS and ESI + daily picking up, touching around ears, mouth, paws, nose, belly, etc. I also clipped their toenails, especially the front paws because they can hurt mama while drinking from the milk bar.
I also have the pups pedigree names ready, and revealed two already (see video of today):
Cherie Mighty Imogene (Miss Pink, Idgie) reflects a beloved and gentle spirit (Cherie), strong and courageous in heart (Mighty), graced with timeless purity and elegance (Imogene).
This name suits a female White Swiss Shepherd who embodies:
Cruzin' Cloud Nine (Mr. Gray) expresses a free-spirited soul gliding joyfully through life — peaceful as a cloud, blissful as the feeling of being on cloud nine.
It’s the name of a dog who radiates calm optimism, whose presence feels like sunshine after rain — pure, bright, and uplifting.
Perfect for a White Swiss Shepherd who is:
The other three names will be revealed coming week. So stay tuned. There are still males available, so if interested please complete the puppy questionnaire and I'll contact you asap.

Tuesday November 25, 2025 puppies are now one week old
Already one week old today! Sleep, drink, crawl, pee, this is basically their daily routine. And of course weighting, lots of cuddles, belly rubs and ENS/ESI. Mama was having a little problem with eating enough food, but luckily with some yummy puppy wet food, she seems back on track. They puppies grow and grow. Miss Pink (calling name Idgie) is the heaviest but her brothers are not far behind. The all doubled their birth weight, which is wonderful and are now almost 1 kilo. Another rule of thumb is that as of today the puppies will gain one kilogram every week, give or take.
Today I also made portraits of all 5 rascals with Thanksgiving theme. They had a hard time to lay still and Mr. Gray even wanted to eat part of the decor, but it sure was fun to do. Also mama Evie came to have a look.

The puppies are doing very well. They've been drinking, sleeping, crying and crawling. Mama Evie takes care of them like a champ. The puppies are now all more then 600 grams of which the female is the heaviest:-))) On day 3, yesterday, I started with ENS and ESI. They all were pretty calm and content when I performed ENS. I am very proud of this little pack. For the scent I chose nutmeg, which is always my first scent I present to the new born puppies. All 5 were very focused and sniffing right away. It's such a joy to see the nose at work.
The rest of the pack settled also right in the new routine. Especially Jane, Jessie & Sien are very interested in what is going on in the whelping pen. Because Evie is still getting adjusted to being a mama, we keep them separated for now. Today I put two stuffed toys in the box, one that has been a box companion from the time we had our first litter (one pup) Venture. And so this stuffed animal is now called Venture as well. The other stuffed animal is a dolphin. It a first time whelping box toy, so let's see how that goes. |
Tuesday November 18, 2025, day 60: Puppies are born: 4 males and 1 female!!!
The puppies have arrived! Born yesterday November 18. Four boys and one girl. There was another girl but sadly she was stillborn. The first, Mr. Black was born at 7:10 AM and the last puppy, the girl was born 1:40 PM. I did however hope or thought there might be more, so we waited until late last night before we definitely knew that there were no more puppies to be born.
It was a very emotional day for all of us, especially because we had one stillborn puppy, who was perfect, just like her brothers and sister.
Evie is doing great and she’s a wonderful mama. Keeping a close eye on her puppies and making sure that they get enough milk. This morning I weighted them all and they all gained weight! So I am very happy with that. These first couple of weeks we monitor their weight daily to make sure that they stay healthy.

Monday November 17, 2025, day 59
Evie is doing very well. She still is active and happy. On Sunday night she had a temperature drop, so I prepared myself for a long night with Evie getting into labor. But no, it was a false alarm. She does have all the signs that her puppies will be born soon though: nesting, barely eating, panting and some clear discharge. I am keeping a close eye on her, and making sure she's as comfortable as she can be. |

Thursday November 13, 2025, day 55
Evie is doing great. She seems to get used to having puppies in her belly, and she pants & licks less. You can really see that her belly is almost at it's max, puppies are only growing in this phase, and her food intake is till good, however she prefers to eat smaller portions. Sometimes I feel the puppies moving, but Evie doesn't really like me touching or feeling for the puppies so I keep that to a minimum. Since Tuesday I keep track of her temperature, but there is no drop, suggesting that her labor is near, yet. Evie is queen of the whelping box and her little gated space. Only Jessie is tolerated in her domain. She rests a lot, but is also still active, although she is tired sooner. Tomorrow, her last week of gestation begins and we can expect her puppies any time soon now. Keep our fingers crossed all goes smoothly. |
Today (11/10/25) Evie is on day 52. She sleeps a lot, and her belly is growing. She gets used to the whelping box and it's her new sleeping place. Her hormones are racing through her body and she especially doesn't tolerate Mijne & Jane around her anymore. Sien is 'so so' and Mojo & Jessie are still okay for her. Today I had to run some errands and took her and Jessie with me. I think she enjoyed it as long as I was in the car.
On Wednesday (11/5) Evie had an ultrasound and we saw at least 5 puppies!!! We're overjoyed that we will have puppies within two weeks. For a short video of the ultrasound, click here.
On Thursday 11/6 we rearranged our living room completely so that Evie has the best own little corner for her whelping box. And now we just have to wait and see when the puppies will arrive.

Sept 19, 2025 - November 5, 2025
Evie's behavior is changing. She becomes more clingy and she sleeps more. She also distances herself from the others and you can find her sleeping or laying under the dining table often. Her belly is growing and also her appetite which was less in the beginning. She must be pregnant. She still runs and catches the balls, and so I decided that as from the beginning of her third semester to limit her ball play. More walks alone with her, on leash and only play find & fetch ball.

Sept 6, 2025 - Sept. 19, 2025
Evie's heat started. On day 12 and 13 of her heat cycle she and Mojo had some unsuccessful dates. So I had her progesterone measured by the vet. It turned out that her progesterone was already pretty high and ovulation had started. That afternoon Mojo & Evie had a successful date (day 14, September 19, 2025. The days after that they got plenty of opportunities but none were successful.
