Ro's pups with collars — Here are the pups with their collars. They are five days old in this picture. Their litter names are listed below. Can you guess the theme? I bet you can but maybe you don't know why. If you look at the registered name of the sire, Geddy, it reflects that he is named in honor of Geddy Lee, the vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist for the band Rush.

The pups' outside pen — As weather finally improved we were able to setup a pen outside. The sunshine kept the pups warm despite the cool breeze that would sometimes occur.

The pups meeting their cousins from Daffne's litter — When our two litters were seven weeks (Ro's litter) and six weeks old (Daffne's litter), respectively, we decided to introduce them to one another.
Here is what it looks like to be swarmed by 17 puppies at one time. They had a great time.

A short video showing the pups beginning to walk. Soon they will be getting themselves into all sorts of predicaments.
