Well.... I didn't get stack shots yet... It has been very busy just keeping up with them! I did get them outside yesterday to potty! A few actually peed and pooped outside. And now a few do run to the door when I say "outside". YES! If I can get them doing that, that will make my life so much easier. However, there are always those that run back inside and take the herd with them... <SIGH>. You have to be a master of manipulation, quick, and flexible to get "most" pups where you want them at any given time. LOL
I also got to see them trot across my 28 foot deck. Great place to watch movement! Nice and level and long enough to really get a good idea. Of course... only a couple really cooperated. It was fun to hop and skip for a couple, and some were a bit unsure being outside. A bit chilly and windy, but another cold spell came through last night, so that was the best it is going to get for awhile. I will have to eval movement inside the house.
Today I promise to get stack shots! I went to the store and got more block cheese and would have taken photos last night if the lighting was good for photos. Best time is during the day with lots of natural light coming in my windows. I know I said, I usually like to make my preliminary picks at 6 weeks, but the Cramers said their line matures more slowly and I can see that in several of the pups. When outcrossing, the norms change. But I do have to say I am pleased with several of the pups as show prospects and all of the pups as happy and outgoing so far.
More to come... stay tuned!
