Breeding Plans

Love the pic of the little one climbing the x-pen!
-
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!
-
They are so adorable! That is quite a litter :)
I love the photo of Tink trying to make a break for it! Haha. Too cute!
-
Ahh yes, I believe Tink has now taught Talker to climb as well!

You're lucky if you only have 2. My first litter, every one of them would escape. It started with Heart and Rio, they would be out of the whelping box even though their eyes weren't open. After their eyes were open it didn't take too long for them to get over the short barrier we had so Rally could easily get to them. We then went to a baby gate, they were over that by 5 weeks. We switched to a plywood barrier so they wouldn't have foothold. So they would be in an ex-pen in the puppy room and have the second barrier across the doorway and by 8 weeks we would every couple of days find an escapee. Granted the barrier had to be low enough that Rally could get in because she absolutely hated not being able to check on them.
Even now when I go to a lure trial people call Rio, Popcorn, because if I open the top of the ex-pen she leaps into my arms.

I'm expecting the tri to start to climb too. Bubba probably won't as he's the most laid back. But Sugar will climb out of an x-pen-even with a lid on. I don't leave her in one at all, because it doesn't matter who she's with she will climb out. People didn't believe me until they saw it one day-she bent the top to get out. I'm surprised they didn't start earlier, but at least I've had a reprieve from it a bit longer than you Lisa!

Ha, ha, ha…this cracks me up. Between you and Pat's "not mother of the year" ...and might I add, that sounds like some grown men that I know. :D
-
Gosh, they are too cute!!!! I picture Bubba's voice to be like one of the puppies in 101 Dalmations. The one who sayd, "But Mama, I'm hungry. I am." or something to that effect. LOL.

5.5 Weeks
Indi
Talker
Tink/Lilo
And, Of course, Bubba -
They are all so beautiful. Did you say you were planning on keeping one?
Pat
-
They are all looking good. Bubba is still standing out for me but I also like Indi. :D
-
I'm looking at one of the boys. Bubba looks good, but Talker is starting to look better too. Indi looks good too, but I think if I was going to keep a girl, it would be Tink/Lilo. She has the better face of the two.
-
It would be hard for me to pick just one!!
-
here's the 6 week update Bubba climbed to the top of the x-pen today 4 feet!
Pat, Can you see the evil??? Bwaaaaaahhaaaaa
-
Beautiful, beautiful. Puppies are looking real nice. Looks like that lil' Indi is very independant, not snuggling with the rest just out exploring.
-
I've found that like colours stick with like colours. Indi is the odd girl out in most cases.
-
They are all just adorable! I like Indi because she's the odd one out :)
-
oooooooo… can you send Bubba to me with the mail?????
Just put some stamps on.... please.... :D
-
Everyone likes Bubba-not too bright, but what a bundle! Even the name-Bubba suits him.
-
Couldn't resist!
Indi, Tink, Bubba and Talker underneath.
