Now almost five weeks old, Hanner's babies are busy exploring their territory and getting to know their extended family.

1) Following Hanner up the steps and onto the bank.........

2) Glen tries to persuade his youngest children to join him for a game.......

3)......but they decide to stay with big sister Blossom, who is proving an excellent nanny at just thirteen months old. (Blossom is from last year's litter by Glen ex Blodyn, litter sister to Hanner.)

4+5) Blossom is always ready to cuddle the little ones.

And to show how rapidly puppies progress......here they are with Hanner on their first outing just a week ago.
