Tango and Tiger’s pups are 2 weeks old

Tango’s puppies turned 2 weeks old yesterday. This is their first time out of their whelping box. Their little eyes are almost completely open. Mama Tango is keeping them clean…a process that also stimulates them to potty as they have no control over their bladders yet.

Once they are 3 weeks old we will begin their Puppy Culture “training” which isn’t really training but a method for enhancing their natural tendencies.

 

It is hard to believe that our Country Legends litter is already 2 weeks old! Click here to watch the video.

 

Here are some close ups. Check out their eyes!

Patsy is beginning to get some darker spots. You can see the one on the top of her head. She is the largest pup…at least for now.

It is tricky to get still photos of these wiggle worms. This one of Tammy is a bit blurry but you can still see that her eyes are open.

Eating and Sleeping…That’s What They Do!!

Here they are lined up at the “milk bar”.!

And now they sleep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So we are calling them the Country Legends litter because, in between these pups’ arrivals last Friday night,  I watched the PBS special on the history of Country Music. Great show, by the way.

So on the top right photo we have  Hank (Williams) at 2 o’clock. At 3 o’clock we have Patsy (Cline). At 7 o’clock we have Tammy (Wynette). At 9 o’clock we have Johnny (Cash) and at 11 o’clock we have Jimmie (Rogers).

Just wanted you to see how their little noses, at 1 week, are already darkening!

 

Tango and Tiger’s Puppies Have Arrived!

Tango whelped 5 beautiful puppies last night. We have 2 girls and 3 boys. My boy Tiger, now loved and owned  by my friend Pat Crane, is the sire. All are doing well and, as you can see, Tango is a very proud Mama!!

 

The cream (6 o’clock) and the red sable (1 o’clock) are the girls. The three sable/white pups are boys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Tiger the day he got his Championship with his handler, Darius McPhall. He comes from a long line of champions on both his sire’s and his dam’s sides.

This is Tango with her handler, Christy Collins, the day she won her championship. Tango went on to win her Grand Championship just 6 weeks later!
