    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.

    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!

    ![](images/smilies/rolleyes.png "Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)") why, yes, i have a very full life-full of little catastrophes!

    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...

    She was actually better at feeding them last week. Now she just goes in to get some of the milk out to relieve herself and the puppies have started eating gruel. Bubba is still unsure about the gruel and would prefer to have Mama feed him for the rest of his life!

    @donc - Not true that breeders traditionally breed for conformation only. Breeders (responsible breeders) breed for health, temperament and conformation. Health/temperament is at the top of the list. Breeders do of course look for certain conformation but that does not exclude Health & Temperament.

    I had a Westie, that past over the rainbow bridge late March, that was allergic to storage mites. Storage mites are basically in anything stored on shelves in warehouses or stores for longer periods of time, like dry kibble, flour, grains and the like. So essentially he couldn't eat any dry nothing, so we went on raw and he did great. Of course he was also allergic to mold and flea saliva. Mold allergy and living in Houston, TX is a bad combo, it is everywhere, due to the humidity we have, and of course that also makes fleas very hardy. Bogus was on frontline and advantage together most of his life, that was the only way to keep fleas off of him and fur on him. He lived to be 13 years, which for me is way too young, but for a dog that has been on steroids and several meds throughout his life, realisticly it is not short. Either way, he clearly should not have been considered a breeding dog, even thought he was a beautiful example of what West Highland White Terriers should be like. My point, it depends on what type of allergies the dog has and the severity of them, in my ever so humble opinion..

    Thanks Andrea and Robyn, That was helpful. Zoni isn't horribly mouthy but I definitely have some more work to do with her. I carry a nylabone in my pocket for the occasion.

    @Quercus: <> Right...I wasn't sure if that was the litter that Sue was referring to? But I don't know of her doing any other brother/sister breeding. So yes, Ariel is a product of that breeding. The idea was to do a test breeding to see what genetically, if anything, might be brought out. By doing an inbreeding, you can 'expose' recessive genes, and see what you've actually got. You can also set (as in permanantly set) type...but, that wasn't the goal in Sue/Jeff's breeding. In this case, the two "best" "typey" puppies from this litter will most likely be bred on from, as long as they test out as genetically and physically healthy, they will most likely be out-crossed, to bring in different genes. Ariel's brother, George, is quite stunning, and is easily the best looking puppy in the litter. Ariel has a beautiful head, but is long in body, short in leg. Neither one is what we consider a "show dog" ;) And the litter's sire is quite handsome!.... the dam of the litter, while long in the back and short on leg (like it sounds Ariel is) has a great temperament... both are great to build on the future.... and breeding out from these pups will be great to build on too.... I am pretty sure that would be the breeding Sue was talking about, like you I don't know of any other brother/sister breeding she and Jeff has done.
