The puppies had a socialization experience this week. They went to class to be around other breeds of dogs and to hang out in a new place. I took both so they could have a buddy to give them confidence. They thought it was great fun. They each also got to go around the ring on their show lead, and to stack on the table. They did better in class than they do in their practice sessions at home. This week we will to go to another class, but one pup will go and one will stay home. Haircuts are also on the agenda.

Chandler is sprawled out, hoping his sister will share her chew with him.

No way am I giving up this “bone”!!

The final series of puppy shots was completed this week. The pups are wearing collars so they will get used to having something around their neck. Morgan is fine with it. Chandler (yes, Brown Boy has a new name) thinks his life is over when he wears his collar. Tomorrow they will go to their first handling class. For the most part they will sit on the sidelines and get used to new noises, smells and different breeds. I expect each will also get a turn on the leash.

Morgan is 16 weeks old.
This is Chandler at 16 weeks.

It was a dog show weekend, so no pictures were taken of Baxter and Morgan until today. But Brinkley got to visit me at the show, and here is his picture. He was so excited to see me and I was thrilled to see him.

Brinkley is a big hit wherever he goes!
Baxter is practicing leash work and standing. He did pretty well today.
Today is the first day Morgan didn’t try to eat the leash. My Mom phoned while we were working, but Bob was able to get a good shot of her while I talked.
Wilson had to work (actually it’s fun for him) this weekend. He was at a 3 day dog show and came away a winner each day. I think Baxter and Morgan think he is one of their littermates. The three of them play every chance they get.

At 14 weeks of age, puppy owners cherish the peaceful moments when the pups are sleeping When they are awake it is non-stop running, exploring, chewing. It’s exhausting for them and for us!

We are still practicing walking on the leash. This week we have also practiced standing pretty on the grooming table. They need lots of work on this skill. They are very good when I call them to “come”. “Back, back,” lets them know not to try to sneak through the door that is closing. “No!” is a word that has been used a lot this week, with varying degrees of success.

It’s sad to see Chewy leave, but he has made one family (particularly one young girl) very happy!

Chewy’s last day at our home.

Good-bye kisses

We love keeping in touch with our puppies who have gone to their new families.  Jennifer is doing a great job with Brinkley pictures and updates

It’s hard to believe that 13 weeks ago these babies were so tiny and helpless.  Green Boy only weighed 3.6 oz.  Now he is over 5 lbs.  They grow so fast and learn so much in a short time span.

Chewy (Green Boy) has his bags packed. His new family will pick him up on Wednesday.

We’re trying out the name “Baxter” for our Brown Boy. He still doesn’t like to look at the camera.

Morgan is training to be a show girl. She needs to learn that the leash is not supposed to be in her mouth!
