puppies 10-16.jpg


Puppies are 12 weeks old now. Coming along fine. I have them out in the field with Snows and Jack. Zorya follows Snowey everywhere. She goes up and jumps up to her face then lies down in front of her and rolls on her back. Peron likes Jack, they hang out together, watching. The pups are spending more time apart, which is good. I feed them all at once and then spend 20 minutes trying to keep them out of each other's bowls. Why is it that none of them want what is in their own bowl? I need to come up with a better system.

They are adorable!
We feed all 5 of the pyrs together in 2 troughs.
Can they just share out of one big feeder?

The puppies share a bowl. Snows and Jack will not share so they get their own. Well, Jack will share but Snows won't. The problem is the puppies are supposed to get puppy food and the big dogs are supposed to get big dog food.

Last night Zorya was so cute. Jack jumped up and ran over tot he edge of the field to bark at a deer in the woods. He stood in his "4 paws down in charge" position and let out his big, deep "WOOF". Zorya ran over with him, stood right next to him, struck the same pose and let out her biggest, mightiest "woof" which was little, high pitched puppy bark. I took pictures but it was too dark.

The pups are really starting to mimic the older dogs now. I think when I separate the herd in a few weeks I will put one pup and one adult dog in each group and see how that goes.

That is the cutest! I can hear that puppy woof!

The mailman dropped a package to us so he was at the end of the drive and I walked down. Amy was already in the front field and there were no goats out there but I did see puppy Chunk come running. He stood there so focused barking his deep man man bark. I know it was because I had walked down there. Chunk is highly protective of me.:hu
This group of pups is definitely more advanced, I know it is because they have been with the parent stock for so long.
Who will you put with Snow and who with Jack?
