Breeding Plans

They are all so cute! :) Keep those photos coming!
-
I'm leaning to keeping one of the boys. I have enough dark dogs and enough girls. I only have Shadow, who is neutered as a boy. So I really would prefer one of the boys, but I am looking at Tink too. She is such a sweetie-loes to cuddle!
As for the counter thing, So True! One day they will only wish they were up there!!

OR… they will just get up there and look you in the eye and say "Hey, you started it!"

I just love the name Tink, is it short for Tinkerbell?

Or is it "stinker"??? I have a "Stinker"…. one of Kristii loving nicknames... and sometimes called Tinker or Tink....
-
I'm all for Bubba too at this point! Thanks for sharing Arlene. :)
-
Hmmm… Arlene... can't wait to see pics at 8 wks and see if we all still agree on Bubba...but the Tri bitch is really cute too...
But I can certainly understand your reasons for keeping a boy and it makes sense....

Yes, Tink is short for Tinkerbell.

The tri bitch is, I don't know. Her body is okay, but so far, I don't like her stop. We will have to see. I actually, at this point prefer Tink's head.

Just curious…when you say you don't like her "stop," what do you mean???

Obviously a disadvantage to only see the pictures, you have "real time"…ggg
But I think the Tri bitch's stop at this age is just fine.....
From the Breed Standard, Stop is referred to as just below the eye, as the foreface tapers to the muzzle: The skull is flat, well chiseled and of medium width, tapering toward the eyes. The foreface tapers from eye to muzzle with a perceptible stop. Muzzle shorter than skull, neither coarse nor snipy, but with rounded cushions.

True Pat, at this age it's hard to tell, but she seems to have a deeper stop, and has seemed this way for awhile, than the others.
But it could also be the darker colour. Looks are sometimes very deceptive.

For sure, but all in all, very nice litter…. Congrats

Thanks, Pat. I was hoping for certain things, but I will have to wait to see if they came out the way I was hoping.

4 1/2 weeks. They were a little tired!

Talker
Indi

It looks like Tink is so sleepy she would fall over if the hand was removed. Cute.
-
I just read the whole thread. What a beautiful litter! I am assuming Sugar is doing well at this point? It would be so hard to choose just one! You guys are the worst for puppy fever! We are moving to Alabama in September *with a fenced yard. My husband said we could get another dog then :) YAY!
-
Sugar is doing okay. She's still feeding, but doesn't spend any real time with them. The puppies are starting to eat pablum, with the girls (of course) doing better than the boys. Here are 5 week pics.

cute…. Reminds me of my Maggii, after the first two weeks she wanted nothing to do with her pups if she could help it.... she happily gave them to Mickii and had I let Mickii milk up, she would have "washed" her paws of them...ggg We are NOT talking about Mother of the Year... Now Mickii on the other hand was the best of best Mom's... she loved her babies and loved being with them...

Love the pic of the little one climbing the x-pen!
