Fly with the Brownolds Puppy Cam

The Fly with the Brownolds Litter is named in loving memory of Mel Brownold by his children and grandchildren. A World War II veteran, Mel was trained as a B24 pilot and served afterward in the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). Mel’s lifelong passion for flying continued into his 80s as a private pilot. In addition to his love of flying, Mel was a longtime volunteer with Susquehanna Service Dogs, providing enrichment and practicing public outings with our Advanced Training dogs as they prepared to become assistance dogs.

Born on July 10, 2024 to SSD Hazel and SSD Blueprint, these puppies will be ready to “fly” home with you in a few weeks. We’re looking for puppy raisers within one hour of Grantville, State College, and Malvern, PA. Sign up to raise a pup!

Puppy Milestones

Everything you see on the puppy cam helps give these puppies a solid foundation for their assistance dog training. You’ll see different objects in the whelping box, and you may even see the puppies visiting different parts of their whelping family’s home.

Here are a few milestones to look for:

Week 1:

Puppies twitch and move a lot in their sleep. They use their sense of smell to explore their surroundings.

Week 2:

The puppies’ eyes and ears open, and the pups begin crawling backwards.

Week 3:

The puppies start standing and begin to play.

Week 4:

The puppies should be actively playing with each other and wagging their tails. They’ll also start eating out of a dish.

Week 5:

Puppies start playing with toys.

Week 6:

The puppies are learning how to really use their paws and mouths and control their bodies.

Weeks 7-8:

Puppies are almost fully developed. You should be able to see the pups’ personalities.
