Today they get their first vaccinations! I love our vet that comes out of her way to give the shots at our home, instead of me having to take the pups to an office.
I believe these are the biggest pups at 6 weeks that we've ever had! Though they did get a bit of a head start with only having to share space/nutrients with three others in the womb! When our girl was still pregnant with them, she looked like she could have been carrying 10 pups.
Since many of you weren't picking puppies based on temperament, we have only noticed the basics of each one's temperament and how they differ from their litter mates. So with each one I'll just list a few words to best describe each pup.
JAX - Yellow Male (Juniper) RESERVED
Observant. Easy-to-train. Playful.
Asher - Black Male (Spruce) RESERVED
Eager. Energetic
Harley - Black female (Rosemary) RESERVED
Curious. Driven.
Nala - Black Female (Maple) RESERVED
Lively. Intelligent.
I said this last week about Asher, but his week I need to tag it on for Nala and maybe Harley as well. She was not having being in the tin bowl! She hardly payed any attention to me, but had a one track mind to get out of the bowl. It will be important to keep her attention to make training effective.
With all the pups but especially with her, 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.
