5 Weeks

The puppies are becoming Very active and more playful and their teeth are very sharp!  Though a couple more weeks with each other, and they will teach each other to have a softer bite.   That's not to say that they won't playfully bite down with you when they get home, but here's a short video on helping to train the bite out of them.  

All pups are now reserved!  

I'm late in posting this week's update and the pictures I got are more fuzzy than I'd prefer... mainly due to the time change and it getting darker quicker than I'd planned!     Plus during playtime they mainly only stand still if they're "going", and I don't want that on camera! Lol!



JAX  -  Yellow Male (Juniper) RESERVED

Jax, like all the pups is eager to play, but he's been beginning his playtime by observing first.  If this behavior sticks it will be very helpful in training.   He has also preferred playing with people before becoming interested in toys.











Asher  -  Black Male (Spruce) RESERVED

Asher is Ready to Go before he hits the ground.   And he literally hits the ground running.  He took to the "toys" (a crumbled up piece of paper) immediately.  

With all the pups but especially with him, getting enough exercise will be key!   I loved training our dogs to fetch a frisbee as it was easy to throw and would go farther than a ball allowing for lots of running!   I prefer this guys' training methods and philosophy to get the games going. 











Harley - Black female (Rosemary) RESERVED

For the first 4 weeks Rosemary has been the most chill puppy of the litter (which also made her my daughter's favorite).  But over the last several days she's becoming more active and trying to keep up with her litter mates!  She took a bit to get interested in the toys, but then wasn't as easy to part with her paper wad ball.












Nala  -  Black Female (Maple) RESERVED 

Nala is also ready to go, though not as insistent as Asher.  She's very curious and took to playing with the new toys with immediate curiosity.

4 Weeks Old

Pups are officially walking confidently and playing with us and each other!  This is when it gets fun and a lot more messy!   

Becoming more active makes clipping nails and giving their wormer medicine and bit more tricky, but my kids LOVE this part of having puppies.  They each take their turn separate from their littermates to play with my kids.  This is a time we start to observe them more closely to see how they interreact with new experiences and with us.  Next we should have more to say about each pup as he/she differs from their litter mates, but for now some pictures of them exploring the deck.
