Today, the puppies had two sets of visitors. The first, was Rebecca Shallanberger, of Trailspotter Dalmatians. (Wilson's owner, from the Mazie x Ely litter) Becky was kind enough, to drive all the way down from the mountains, about 1 1/2 hours, and help me with photo's, and the first assessment of the puppies. She was amazed with this "once in a lifetime" litter, and I quoted her on that. All day, I kept hearing, "that is one heck of a nice litter! I can see why you're having a hard time deciding which one to keep!"
The second set was Dyann and Paul, from Denver, who are getting a pet puppy. To be determined whether it's a boy or girl, liver or black. I love "pet" puppy people like that, who can appreciate either sex or color and will be thrilled with either.
This morning, Becky and I took several stacked photo's of pups. Some were very cooperative, others....not so much....but they'll all learn how to "be a show dog" in the next couple of weeks!
I'm very happy with what we saw today, but still am no closer to making a decision on which puppy will be mine. What a problem to have!
Pups hearing test are scheduled for Monday, September 27, two hours north, in Ft. Collins, CO. Shortly after that, Becky, myself,
and hopefully sire owner, Lori, and co-breeder, Deby, will be able to come and help us do the final assessment of pups We will also be checking movement, so the next couple of weeks, I've got to get them somewhat used to being on a leash.
Wish me luck!
Enjoy the pics below, remember, they are still learning how to "stack" and keep all 4 feet where placed without moving! Forgive the messy faces, they loved the peanut butter!
