I will have to enlarge puppy space later this week. Mr Blue/white climbed out already and is walking very well, the rest are weeble wobblers..... 

 

   

6/17/14 - week 3 -   I doubled the puppy space in the bedroom. All growing, eyes are opening and ears are opening. They are walking across their playpen to the papers to potty, these pups are SMART.

                                   always in motion when awake.

6/23/14 - Everyone is doing great, thou Blue/white is getting pushed away from the milk bar. I have started to feed him goats milk & colustrum 3 times aday, plus extra time nursing with momma Dora.

6/29/14 - I have decide to pick Mr Blue White as my breeders pick from this litter, so I can confirm he grows and matures into a normal, happy & healthy guy. When he does, I will put him up for sale; Unless a deposit holder falls in love with him, as I have....

7/1/14 - week 4 - trimmed nails, new collars and goats milk with cottage cheese for everyone, with a tiny tase of raw mixed in. Dewormed too

7/8/14 - week 5 - this week the raw diet was increased. Raw ground chicken & turkey, with the goats milk & cottage cheese, then decreasing the dairy and increasing the meat, they LUV it !

 7/15/14 - week 6 - Now the pups are eatting only raw turkey blend. They are growing so fast now. Learning how to play with their siblings and visit with strangers. This week I will deworm them and trim nails again.

7/22/14 - week 7 - pups learned what a pool is all about...      growing so fast, busy week ahead of us. Temperament test planned for thursday evening. More visitors and puppy kisses.....

Aplha to Omega; Alpha meaning “head of the litter” most energy, alertness, dominance.             Omega means calm, laid back, with lowest energy.

The test is conducted in a room unfamiliar to the puppy. The room should have at least minimal furnishings, to motivate the puppy to explore and if needed offer it a place to hide. Each puppy is tested separately in the presence of two strangers (to the puppy). If needed the breeder too can perform the tests, but the most meaningful results are obtained with strangers. Prior to beginning the tests a list should be prepared for each puppy with the individual tests already listed, so that only the scores and any other comments need to be recorded.
