Seen here within minutes / hours of being born!

At 3 weeks old, the puppies all weigh around 6lb each, give or take an ounce or two. They're all on 3 solid meals a day now as well as Fyfiel's milk and they are absolutely beautiful: Loads of skin, heavy bone and huge heads with wide muzzles.

Seen here at 4 weeks old.

Seen here at 5 weeks old. Weights are as follows:

Females

One is 9lb (Little Tink), two at 13lb and the other is a whopping 14lb 3oz.

Males

One is 13lb 9oz, one is 13lb 8oz and the other is 14lb 4oz.

The pups are getting on well with their training. They all do their business outside, wear their own little collars, are used to noise e.g. hoover, dogs barking, clapping, television and radio. I am just starting them getting used to a car by taking a couple at a time, putting them in a crate and just sitting in the car with them with the engine started. It is also crate training them too, this way. They all have their toys to play with: It helps to stop them chewing each other ( little monkey's they are)!
