PUPPIES - The "C" litter has been CONFIRMED! [WARNING-IMAGE HEAVY]

[aniwahya]

Nothing like a minor but dramatic head wound to add to her intimidation level.
"Grr! See what I do to myself? Just imagine what I'm going to do to you!"

[draggar]

So good brakes then?

Very good brakes when it comes to the helper but her steering could use some work. I guess she's hit her head on some blinds a few times cutting the corners too close - of course it didn't slow her down.

[lordlundar]

She's running around a blind and when she gets to the blind with the decoy in it she's supposed to sit close to him and bark up at his face - any contact (until given the command or signal) can get them disqualified.

And of course, after looking at the pics:

DAAAAWWWWWWW!!!!

Also, I guess that Catch has stopped making multiple trips to the buffet?

He needs it, he's our smallest puppy but he's been gaining a lot of weight the past few days (healthy weight) especially since they started to wean off mommy and into gruel / soaked kibble (my wife put some raw kibble in there to get them used to the smell and he was the only one who tried to eat it!)

It strikes me as more of a "dis is my gud syd" look.

I had the same idea

And Chance has the look of "I am going to be your worst nightmare of trouble"

[BookstoreEscapee]

[draggar]

You're more than welcome to.

Woah, At that speed, I'd hate to be the destination. Even if it wasn't aggressive, I don't think I'd survive getting bowled over.

We're going to try to get some current pictures of the puppies taken in the next few days.

Here's a recent pic of Athena - she's living up to her name.

[draggar]

They're 4 weeks old today! They also got new collars with their names (and color) on them so it should be visible on tomorrow's puppy cam.

[draggar]

They're typically registered when we have them - 6-8 weeks but we don't make them official until they're sold (so we get the right registration on them, partial (non-conformation show / breeding) and full (conformation show / breeding).

There are two styles of naming:
American - goes on a theme. (Lord of the Rings is common).
European - all the names begin with the same litter, A for the first litter (Athena, Apollo, Artemis), B for the second litter (BeDazzled, BeJeweled, etc..), C for the third (this one) and so on.

We try to do both but sometimes it's hard.

Athena and Artemis are extremely intelligent dogs (we don't hear much from Apollo's owner). We're lucky to have bred them and their owners are lucky and happy to have them.
