The last two weeks have passed so quickly, it is hard to believe the pups are two weeks old. They're actually, two days shy of two weeks to be exact. Moving forward, we are going to make this more of a “Winter Wonders Weekend Update, With Vae Victis.” Publishing a blog post on the weekend is so much easier to do and simply makes more sense than a Tuesday release.
The pups are all doing great. Each pup will receive their first round of de-wormer this week. We will continue to de-worm Luxe and her pups every two weeks until they go home to their new families. We continue to provide supplemental bottle feedings to the pups several times per day. Luxe is starting to stray from the whelping box more and more often. She will wander just far enough to take a break from her pups, but not so far that she can no longer hear them, she has proven herself to be a fantastic mother.
Developmentally speaking, most of the puppies have opened their eyes completely and others are partially opened. Ears aren't quite open yet, but the pups are already experts at using their noses. The pups are also beginning to figure out how to use their legs. This is exciting news and it also means our work is going to get even more involved, very soon. Imagine, 13 little velociraptors, sharp teeth, and claws, all coming to greet you at the same time, we love it. This also means we will soon move the pups to a larger enclosure. The move will give them more room to play and develop. The move will also provide a "designated" play, sleep, eat, and potty area.
In an attempt to illustrate their continued growth, we have done our best to attach at least one individual picture of each puppy. Our success depends greatly on the cooperation of 13 two week old puppies. We have also provided a few “group” photos. As always, we are grateful to the families who have chosen and trusted us to provide them with their new family members. Only six weeks to go and your pups will be home with you. Until that time, we will do our best to keep everyone updated on the progress of this litter. Of course, once picks are made, we do intend to continue updates.
All the male pups in this litter have been reserved. We still have three females available with limited AKC registration. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.
