Casual 8 week individual pics of the pups.

Green Boy is the most active pup in the litter at the moment. Always alert and eager to play. Thankfully, he enjoys his naps too.


Black Boy gets along with all and is even mannered.


Rainbow Girl! Energetic, funny and full of herself. Just look at that face.


Orange Boy is serious. He is the first one to complain if I don't get their food fast enough - how rude!!! :+) A gentle nature with a hearty appetite.


Clara Belle. Inquisitive, boisterous, confident and a handful. :+)


I am still waiting for the other shoe to drop with this litter. Biting to date, has been minimal. I can't believe that my 'bit inhibition' techniques have been that successful. Also, I have been working on jumping and am hopeful to have that curtailed. My goal is to really have a steady 'sit' on each pup before they go home so that the first word out of your mouth when you receive them is 'Sit!' If we all work hard on this, none of these pups should become jumpers.

Professionals claim that you must be very careful with the eighth week of life with a pup. Negative experiences that happen during this week can last a lifetime. So I will spend this week with lots of pats, no new introductions, individual personal training time and provide only positive instruction and introduce treat rewards for correct behavior.
