Puppy Pictures

Jet. Such a regal looking boy!

Maggie

The puppies are now 3.5 months old. They are quite a group and, really, I could not ask for better behaved puppies. Oh, they like to rough-house and involve themselves in puppy battles, usually over a bone. Mind you, I have plenty of bones to go around. They just all want the same one! Just like children: What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine! Raven and Whisper like to hoard the bones. They steal them from others, make a pile of bones (or toys) and lay on top of it, like a dragon guarding its treasures.

However, for the most part the puppies are calm and well-behaved. The crate training is progressing nicely, and they will use either the exercise pen in the garage, newspapers or piddle pads on the floor, or the snowy outdoors. That trait came in handy during the recent snow storm when putting them outside was impossible.

Raven looking unhappy!

Raven all wet for her evaluation. I'm soaked too!

Whisper. So serious!

Last week we gave them baths. I wanted to take a closer look at Raven's structure, so I soaped her up and posed her for some pictures. She is looking as good as I expected and would make a nice show girl. She has a lovely outline. Look at the profile of her in the photo where she is wet. Nice length of neck. Great rear and shoulder angulation. Nice front legs too, although you can't see them well in this picture.

The sweetheart named Ty

I tried the same "let's wet you down and take a look at you" with Maggie, but she is uncooperative right now, and evidently she hates having her picture taken because we never did get a decent picture of her. For a sweet "please hold me first and let me lick your face forever" little girl, she definitely has a stubborn streak! Ditto when it comes time for us to practice her letting me see her teeth!

Ty, much like his sire Breaker, is one of the happiest dogs we have. He enjoys life to the fullest, loves to play and be held, and is smart too. (He did not get that trait from Breaker, who is just happy! Hey beauty and happy...who needs brains? LOL!) Ty has the morning and evening routine down pat and enjoys teaching the other puppies what to do.

Whisper's coat is growing fast and, as I predicted, the shorter ear is much less noticeable now. She and Jet are nearly the same size and have the same coat texture. I used to be able to tell them apart by looking at her ear. Now it is not that easy. Jet is more laid back than the others, except when it comes to eating. He goes after his food with gusto!

Enjoy the photos!

Remember, life is good when you have a Lhasa to love you!
