King Brown..I'm glad you were able to straighten the dog out no matter the technique
 Now, to kick-start a return to topic.. It's a little blurry but, here’s a picture from a good number of yrs ago that puts a pretty wide smile on my face. This is a photo of my wife when she had been a young bride for all of about two months. She is lovingly holding the Shorthair that she bought for me as a wedding gift a week or two after we were married. Pups name was Tessa. We miss Tess every minute of every day. ..sure wish I was a little more camera happy back then - pics are few. |

Thank God for nap time!! The pups are 6 weeks old now, a lot of fun, but a lot of work--good thing Debbie is retired. I get swarmed when I sit out with them. the hem on my bath robe is in tatters, as I generally put them out at 6:00am when I get up.
I will probably keep the tri-color female, Willow(Willie), but that little all white female in the foreground, Doodle, keeps pulling at the old heart strings, she was the runt. Dare I keep 2, or should I say would I be foolish enough to keep 2. Dean, you will soon have this dilemma.

I sure hope so.... she still hasn't come into heat.
I think I need to get her together with dogs in heat and she should immediately follow suit. .

I have a tendency to pick pups showing independent confidence absent obnoxious dominance. Reserved boldness, if you will. Prey drive & natural ability in the field? Breeding does that work for you.
The pup you are considering keeping as a second (in the foreground) appears separate from the pack..to me, that's a tell. (maybe I'm nuts) |

The reason a dog has so many friends,he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

two puppies at once
 it would be interesting to hear from folks that have done it- rather than hijack the cute puppy thread after getting it back on line - i'll post the question in a conversation

Dean, I thought you had already bred Grace and that she was due in Sept--sorry, don't know why I thought that.
Rick, you are ,as always, so right--but I still might not be able to help myself
