Girl #2. Interesting coloring….So sweet!
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.
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!
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!
