Meri and Striker’s pups are 2 1/2 weeks old. Their eyes are just beginning to open. When they were born, they found their mother by their keen senses of smell and touch. They will soon see…albeit very foggily. Their hearing will begin to develop in a week or so. Every day there are changes!!
Meri delivered 4 beautiful puppies on Thursday. Striker is the sire…a very handsome boy indeed.
Here are pix of Mom and Dad.
This is Meri. Our pretty girl is a Grand Champion. She turned 2 last August and this is litter. That’s me on lead.
And here are the puppies.
And this is Striker. Isn’t he handsome. Striker is a bronze Grand Champion….all owner handled by my friend Karen Warnacke.
We have two boys and two girls. They are almost all white with pretty sable markings around their heads.
Mother and babies are doing well! But Meri did have a difficult time with this delivery so she had to have a c-section. I made the decision to have her spayed because, while she didn’t need a c-section for her first litter, it was a very prolonged labor. I didn’t want to put her thru that again.
All puppies are spoken for.
It has been over two weeks. A few things took precedence…including a 3 day stay in the hospital for me!! I am fine and happy to be on the bright side of this earth. And I am so thankful for my family for taking such good care of the babies!!
Here are a couple videos for starters. The first one is one of their first meals of kibble mush.
And this one is the puppies playing with Fozzie Bear, my 3 month old. He is sooooooo happy to have friends who will actually romp with him!
And now for a Puppy Culture session with Chewy.com packaging!
I took a gazillion photos of the puppies today! They are 3 weeks old and so many changes are happening. Their eyes are fully open (though it will take about 4 more weeks to fully focus), their ears are also open now. The their little legs are beginning to support their body weight so they are moving around.
My grandson helped me build a big play area which I will get a video of later.
And once I have time to edit the 100 or so photos I took I will post them as well.
For now….enjoy!
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.
