Daffne was patiently waiting for the pups to arrive.
Amber at weigh-in time, one day old. At this age, weights are taken twice a day.
At two weeks of age the pups have really grown.
Eyes are open at 11 days of age.
At four weeks of age the pups relaxing with mom after a little playtime.
The pups get to leave the whelping room and play in the breezeway with their mom from time to time.
Ruby is getting interested in the toys. Looks like the Kong may have grabbed her interest.
At four weeks of age, they began to use the feeding pans to eat their meals.
With the nice weather we have been able to get the pups outside.
Mom and her newborn pups.
All seven of the pups on day seven. Far left is Topaz (blue collar), then Tourmaline (pink), Ruby (red), Lapis (purple), Jade (green), Amber (orange), and Onyx (black). Their sire's call name is Stone, which gave us the idea to use gemstone names to identify the individual pups.
There always seems to be one show off. In this case it is Adele sleeping in her favored position.
A lot of things happen with the pups at this age. Here Onyx is demonstrating that he can howl! It is cute... in the beginning.
They have moved from the whelping box to a pen and are already using the litter pans.
Here the pups were chasing mom.
Not sure it qualifies as a retrieve, but we will take it.
He is trying to see if anyone else is going to grab the little round pillow. That simple camo-pillow is one of the most favored items of the pups.
Guiding the pups off to meet their cousins.
And here they are, all 17 pups meeting for the first time. Ro’s litter is just a few days older than Daffne’s litter. They had a great time playing with one another. It was hard keeping them all in the same area and rounding them up again when they would wander off.
