Day 19: We started the photo albums for each of the ten puppies today.  Please return to the website, check the navigation bar and click on "Ten Puppies' Albums" to see close-up photography of each puppy:

The 4 boys and 6 girls are not quite three weeks old.  They are all sturdy packages showing exploratory behavior, walking and playing.  


They have what looks to be excellent consistency in physical structure and spot patterns.  They are all walking quite sturdily and easily and respond well to calling sounds.  While some are more open spotted and some more densely spotted, all appear to have very evenly  distributed spot patterns - no "windows" of large open space that give the impression of missing spots in one area or another - none of that.  No clustering of spots either but some more densely spotted cd  cluster later - we have to wait and watch.  


Their leather nose trim is complete in all but one and eyeliner trim is in .  We do not see any blue eyes (as opposed to bluish cast of the dark brown eyes just opening).   As reported on their first day there are no patches.   


Further, it appears we must  have imagined the livers because at this point everyone looks to be black-spotted!!  

All of the pups are getting cuddle time.  In two days we will tear down the short wall out into the ex-pen from the whelping box to expand their indoor territory.
