7 weeks old and getting close

My sister Tanya and best friend Ruth came with me to visit the pupsters. It was a long drive in the pouring down rain and heavy traffic but well worth it. Tanya was visiting from the UK and didn't want to miss out on a chance to cuddle. This also helps socialize and adapt the pups to various human handling.



Black boy is getting so big. He sat in my lap off and on most of the time we visited. Laura, the breeder, taught us all to avoid touching their ears too much at this young age as their cartilage is still weak and developing. If you want sturdy erect ears follow this advice. Later Laura gave us all detailed tour of her facilities and filled us in on some future plans.

Getting closer

A) Is this Black boy






B) Or is this?
I do know this is him sleeping, notice the red fur on his lower head/upper neck area. I think he's A but can't tell for sure. Black ribbon hides so easily in a fluffy coat. For some reason I can always pick him out sleeping.




And these two take the cutest picture.

Black Boy

This is black boy sleeping. He's the only male plush coat in the litter. He will be our new puppy as long as he's not a show quality puppy as we are looking for a pet puppy. Show quality means they meet the breed standard very closely.










He's the biggest looking puppy and weighed in at 7lbs 6oz yesterday. He's at 3 o'clock in this picture of them eating lunch. Mom Sabers milk has dried up and the pupsters are now on dog food. Lunch was large breed puppy food soaked in water and then some white milky stuff was added, something similar to mothers milk.

1st Puppy visit

Roscoe & I visited the puppies yesterday. As you can see they are so cute and cuddly. This little girl is so calm and happy to be held.











It's all about play time in these photo's but don't let this fool you, napping is their favorite past time at this age.

Their personnalities are developing and it's easy to tell them apart from each other now.
