The Beehive Pups

Amanda found an abandoned Bleu de Gascogne dog roaming around in her village at the end of July 2016. She had a litter hidden in a small cave that was right in the middle of about 25 Beehives. There was no way to know how many pups or how old there were. By mid August she was still unable to get anywhere near the mother as she was so frightened of people. Amanda started to build her confidence and would leave her and the pups food. 

Two of the pups were stung numerous times by the bees, fortunately there were no allergic reactions. Amanda was reluctant to move the pups as their mother was a very good mum and was never far away. She kept her visits short so as not to upset their mother, the last thing she wanted was for to move the pups to another location out of fear in case she was unable to find them again. The vet said they were old enough to leave their mum. A few days later towards the end of August 2016 the decision was made to rescue the pups. The first two were males, Bobby and Charlie. The remaining four pups were rescued separately and named Sting (male), Luna, Dorris and Dotty. It was suggested to name their mother Beatrice or Bea for short due to the location she had chosen to give birth. 

Sadly the ‘Beehive’ pups born approximately July 2016 are still at the shelter waiting for their forever homes. 

Charlie ~ He is a gentle soul, he leans in and loves to dance! He is full of expression and is intuitive with sensitivity

Charlie

Dorris ~ She is very striking and an attractive dog that holds herself well. She is a little timid, but will engage and enjoy your companionship. She is playful and always enjoys the puppies in the pen nearby.

Dorris

Dotty ~ She is a little timid and sits in the background, but she will seek you out if she wants your attention. She is inquisitive, but prefers 1-1 time as she can get overwhelmed if there is too much going on. In a quiet home where she can settle and have more attention, we are sure she will thrive.

Dotty

Bobby ~ He is a cuddle monster, loves humans and is full of expression. He will do anything for a treat and loves 1-1 times.

Bobby

Sting ~ He loves to run and play with his siblings and when he’s alone he will seek human company. He is a little shy and will stay in the back ground allowing others to have attention first. In a quiet, loving home he will come out of his shell and be a loyal companion.

Sting

Luna ~ She’s a little nervous with strangers, but not aggressive, she will just hide away at a distance while keeping her eye on the stranger. With time and loving attention she will be happy and settled in a forever home. She gets on very well with Zeke whom she shares a pen with and it would be ideal for them to re-homed together.
