4 weeks & stacked!

The puppies are 4 weeks old now, wich means time for stacked photos!

The puppies did great, I haven’t been stacking them much at all. The fawn girl had to be the brat and princess and make it difficult. I didn’t have big expectations for these photos but the puppies really surprised me and we got these photos in 10 minutes tops -with fawn girl taking the most time:)

The puppies moved up to the livingroom yesterday, I went out and bought material to make a little puppypen for them so now they have their own little area where they can play and sleep and be with us and the other dogs all the time.

Unfortunatly I was charging the camera battery so I didn’t get any photos, but the pups vere fearless, very curious about their new surroundings and all those dogs around them.

Stella thought the puppies were very interesting and was trying to play with them throught the fence, so she got to go in and say hi to the pups and let the pups say hi to her. All tails were wagging:)

And now, the moment has come:) Here are the puppies, stacked for the first time!

No group photo this time:) Hope you all like what you see. I’m thrilled with them!

3 weeks & 4 days

Finally, finally photos of the puppies!

It’s getting harder and harder to take photos of them alone, so these photos aren’t as good as I’d like them to be, but they are better than many:)

Here’s boy 1

That’s what I have for you today! Sorry it took so long.

Everything is very fine with the puppies, they are eating, playing & sleeping and cute as a button:)

Tiny update.

I apologize, I had big plans of taking photos today of the pups and posting and making a blog but I’m going to 2 shows this weekend, Germany tomorrow and Belgium on sunday with my poodle and I just didn’t have the time to do what I planned. Will make up for it tomorrow hopefully if I wont be to late at home, otherwise I’ll do it on sunday as the show is quite close to me.

The pups are doing great, had their first official meal yesterday, nails were clipped today for the 3rd time and all puppies behaved well. Tomorrow I will deworm them.

That will have to be enough for today, I’m sorry I don’t have anything more for the moment.

Have a great weekend everyone! Stay tuned for updates here!

2 weeks

Time flyes!! The puppies are already 2 weeks old!

They are starting to open their eyes now, Ira Jr is first to get both almost open, girl 2 has 1 almost open and the big boy is working on it while fawn girl and girl 1 are just keeping them shut and “enjoying their youth”.. or something:) I’m sure they’ll open up real soon:)

So as I said before it’s getting harder and harder to weigh them so I haven’t been doing it but will have a try at it tomorrow, it’s very hard with an electrical scale with numbers that just don’t stop as long as the puppies keep on moving in the “weighing basket” so I’m gonna try something else tomorrow.

I caught all the puppies in their mothers food yesterday! I had put it in the crate and was gonna feed her but had to jump up and take care of something for a minute or so.. when I came back this is what I saw:

I wasn’t quite sure what to do, it’ll be another week untill I feed the puppies solid food.. so just before I took the food away, I ran and got my camera and took photos. They were not happy when I took the food away.. Tingen was happy, and hungry but when the puppies were eating it, she sacrificed it.. she’s such a good mommy!

Here you see the puppies searching for the food after I took it away from them:

And what they had to settle with:

I’m still thrilled with the litter:) I’m so happy with all the puppies and think they all look great:) I even did a little stack on them after I took photos of each and everyone, just to see, I usually don’t stack them untill they’re 3 weeks old but since they are trying to eat solid food too early, I thought I’d just do a little stack and I was very happy with what I saw:)

I didn’t take stacked photos though.. we’re not quite there yet, maybe when they’re 3 weeks we’ll try to get some sort of a stack from them but now it’s just cute individual photos. I didn’t do any group shots now, sorry.

I do want to say that this is not the correct colour on the blue puppies, they are darker and more blue, not with this brown tone, and boy 2 is more silver blue, a shade lighter than his siblings (same as his father.. hence the “Ira Jr” name)

Here’s boy 1

Girl 2, wannabe german sheperd;)

And the fawn girl

That’s all for now:) I’ll be watching the puppies very closely now since their eyes are opening and the camera will be ready so there will be some more photos as they open their eyes so stay tuned and keep on checking.

Photos

I thougt I’d post some photos of the puppies. They’re not new, we took them on saturday, I just haven’t had the time to resize them untill now so here they are:)

Here’s girl 1

2 photos of girl 2:

Mom and pups

I hope you like the photos. I haven’t weighed the puppies, they are moving way too much so the scale just never stops on a number:) But they are all gaining weight normally, eating and drinking and getting more and more active with each day that comes:) Soon they’ll open their eyes and I for one can’t wait!

All the girls are reserved now, they will get great homes:) One of the boys might be going abroad so that leaves us with 1 available boy.. not sure wich one as no pup will have an owner untill they are older and I see how they look and what homes suits each pup the best:) But if anyone is interested in a boy, let me know:)

-And last but not least, many THANKS to my dear friends Silja and Dora who where here for a visit this past weekend picking up the BC puppy I was watching for helping me with these photos:) It did take 2.. and then me on the camera:)

8 Days

I’m so sorry for saying I’d post photos and then just leave you hanging. I’ve been sick and I have had guests from abroad so I simply haven’t had the time to post photos.

But having guests turned out to be great, I of course used them to help me taking photos of the puppies… they might only be 8 days old but they sure can move around and I wanted to take a special kind of photo so I needed an extra hand to help:)

Here are the numbers from yesterday when the pups were week old:

Boy 1 weighed 493 grams

Boy 2 weighed 467 grams

Blue girl 1 weighed 410 grams

Blue girl 2 weighed 394 grams

Fawn girl weighed 341 grams

And here come the photos that I promised way to many days ago. But we tried to make them xtra nice so I hope you like them.

And all together

Tomorrow..

I promise to put in photos and update tomorrow, I have been sick for the past days so I haven’t been able to take photos and update here as I planned.

The puppies are doing great, The boys are both over 300 grams, actually the big boy “Biggi” is over 400 grams and Ira Jr is around 40 grams behind him while the girls are just around 300 grams with the fawn one still being the smallest at around 290 grams.

Day 3 & 4

The puppies are still fabulous!

We started the “early neurological stimulation” program yesterday,I will put more info on that and photos in my next post as I just didn’t get to doing that today.

They are gaining weight nicely, here’s how heavy they are today:

Blue girl1 is 269 grams

Blue girl 2 is 273 grams

Fawn girl is 236 grams

Blue boy 1 is 328 grams

Ira Jr is 281 grams

So big blue boy is still the biggest and fawn girl is the smallest.. but she certainly knows what she wants and lets me know if she’s not happy.. and if someone sits on her:)

That’s it for today:) Check back tomorrow evening!

Day 2

The puppies are just excellent, in all ways. I am very pleased with them and can hardly get myself from Tingen and the pups.

They are all gaining weight nicely, here’s todays weigh in:

-Blue girl who came first is now 205 grams, just as she was when she was born

-Blue boy who came number 2 is 246 grams! He’s gained 24 grams in the last 24 hrs, 18 grams over his birthweight

-Fawn girl, pup nr. 3 is 202 grams, 12 grams over her birthweight, still the lightest.

-Blue girl who came in 4th is 214 grams, 5 grams over her birthweight

-Blue boy, Ira Jr, is 222 grams now still 3 grams under his birthweight

-Now there might be a few grams wrong, the pups are not still when I weigh them and the scale I use is electric and doesn’t stop on 1 number because of the constant movement so f.ex Ira Jr is probably heavier and I’m pretty sure he reached his birthweigh but this is what I got from looking at the scale and seeing it stop for just 1 second:)

Most important is that they are all healthy, and they’re looking good and all are drinking well.

No individual photos today, but I was sitting by the crate where Tingen and the pups are with my camera and took some photos:

That’s it for today:)

Day 1

The first night was fine, and the first day has been fine as well. Time for weigh in and individual photos:

The 1st pup, Blue girl weighed 201 grams, 4 grams away from the birthweight

——————

The 2nd pup, blue boy with minimal markings, weighed 222 grams, 6 grams from his birthweight

————————–

The fawn girl, 3rd to arrive weighing 184 grams, 6 grams from her birthweight

————————–

4th pup was a blue girl. weighing 203 grams, 6 grams from her birthweight

—————————–

and last but not least, the second blue boy, Ira Jr who weighed215 grams, 10 grams from his birthweight

———————————

The girls:
