They are growing!



Pups are becoming little dogs!!!




Discovering the world, playing, started eating goat's milk pudding, etc Personalities are really starting to show too. Startle response strong, but very quick recovery in all.
Aspen was a day or so behind the others, and now seems to be ahead-he is Very sweet and reminds me of his big brother, Skid-not just in looks, but also personality. He also has a very solid front, built like a little linebacker. Not very reactive, he seems pretty unfazed by life so far.

Ash is one of the most
investigative still and has very good body awareness and balance already. I put puppy plank down and they were off and running. He is also very handsome and would be one of my picks right now for performance potential. He seems to be very aware, but also have a resilient temperament, at least right now.




Cedar is a sweety, more middle of the road puppy-doesn't have anything to prove, plays but is more of a watcher than doer right now. He is definitely a thinker and problem solver, but right now his brothers are much bolder than he is. Pictured here, he is falling alseep after this AM of much activity!





Lily Rose is similar in personality to Cedar, but a little bit bolder. They are both the first to fall asleep. Lily likes to crawl into your lap and snooze. She was one of the first to figure out making the wiggly giggly ball move.She is holding her own with four brothers!







And then there's Moss......when I was little I read a book called "Bertram The Bad" (still have a copy). That is Moss as pictured above admiring himself in the mirror. He is bold, busy, very aware of movement and attracted to it, a bit of a troublemaker, first to do everything and on a mission! He is more independant than the other pups, and very confident he is the top dog in the litter :-) So, that's the pup-date......

So glad to see a Pupdate! They are real little bitty dogs now. I love reading all your comments and insights about their personalities.

Hi -- I'm Rachel's mom; she sent me the link. The puppies are very sweet. I'm looking forward to meeting them, and having another dog in my extended family. Rachel's planning to send me to dog class too! So far, Ash is my favorite, but that is based only on looks, so who knows?
