Rally's Pups

[Lenora]

What are you discussing with those two in the last picture? They're really paying attention!

[jys1011]

They are so adorable :)

I have to say that whatever the nice gentlemen is discussing must be some story since B/W are fully attentive :D

This weekend the pups got introduced to two new things. The first was the wobble board which they run across without seeming to even notice that it moves. So far the pups are really liking their agility obstacles, the tunnel is still one of their favorite toys. The second new thing was collars. These were not recieved so well. At first they didn't seem to notice and then they tried to run away from them which only resulted in tired puppies.

I love the ears on the bottom pic, center puppy! We call that the "flying nun" position! Not that I want to ask this….but are you keeping any? It must be hard to think of them not being there...

[lvoss]

We are planning on keeping 1 though they will have to get along with the three we already have. As for sending them to their new homes, by the time they are ready to leave here, they are driving me nuts because they are so rambunctious and their new owners have sort of become part of the family during the process of watching them grow. I get to see the pups from my first litter periodically through the year at events like lure trials and the puppy match. Their owners also send photos of them and I know they are in fabulous homes.

Aha…that makes sense. I guess you'll evaluate and choose which one suits your household. That's great that the owners still keep in touch - kind of one large extended family. I know that I would have a hard time letting all of them go, but now I understand...the picture is great. It looks like she may have been trying to get away from them -- but they found her!

Any idea at all which Pup it is yet?

[lvoss]

Most likely it will be Sophie, the black and white with the white blaze on her face. My boy really doesn't like other boys so I just don't see him accepting a boy into the pack. So far the girls have been pretty tolerant of everyone though things may still change in the next few weeks. By about 8 weeks I will have a pretty good idea of what their temperaments are like.

The pups will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. They growing so fast.

[jys1011]

They are so incredibly CUTE!! I wish I could just grab one & make sure it never grows up :D

You must be so strong to be able to give them away in 3 weeks…I don't think I could after watching them be born & then turn into such cute little puppies.

They are so adorable! I love the face on the last picture…someone clever will have to caption it!

Yeah, someone said….flying nun ears. Yoda, never thought of that one.

Some of ours make a Chewbacca kind of sound.:D

[jys1011]

Could Yoda be part senji???

The pups had several visitors today. After a long morning of socializing and playing they all crashed in their bed.

[Ambered]

omg, they are sooo big! what happened?! really really adorable!

[lvoss]

It is hard to believe but the pups are 6 weeks old. It is getting harder to get pictures that aren't of just bits and pieces as they race around the yard or house.

So true, but still beautifull pups :)

They've grown right before our eyes. Seems like last week they were born. (time is flying) I'm so glad you're posting pictures their development for us. They are growing right into Basenji shape.
