Ilik X Capar puppies 6 WEEKS OLD!

Sweet girl here weighed 14 lbs 15 oz right at 6 weeks old. She gained 2 lbs 11 oz this week. Average daily weight gain was 6.1 oz. She is easiest in the litter to weigh! She is usually the first one finished eating. If Momma is around, she is definitely Momma's girl.

Firstborn son weighed 18 lbs 8 oz at 6 weeks. He gained 3 lbs 15 oz this week. His average daily weight gain was 9.0 oz. This guy is Speedy Gonzales! When you bend down and talk to him, he responds with a foot in the air, as if pawing toward you.

Capar Jr weighed 18 lbs 0 oz, no longer the heavy-weight chunk of the litter. He gained 3 lbs 2 oz this week. Average daily weight gain was 7.1 oz. This is the mellow, quiet, sweet guy of the litter. But he holds his own in play with the Sirin puppies, of which there are still 2 here. Nobody picks on this pup (is it his size, color, personality, communications, or a combination?)! ;-> Even though he is younger, he weighs as much or more than the Sirin puppies that are 2 1/2 weeks older. But Ilik puppies are still more roly poly than Sirin puppies who are very steady on their feet now at 9 weeks old. Today these 3 Ilik puppies here shared their nursing meal with the 2 Sirin puppies. Mother Ilik good-naturedly nursed them all when allowed to visit for a short time. Puppies are pretty much weaned except for a daily snack. Male Anatolian, Durbun, is the guard in the puppy pasture with 5 puppies and 4 young goats! But pictures in that pasture are next to impossible, so puppies had to be removed one at a time in order to get decent pictures!

Ilik X Capar Puppies 5 WEEKS OLD!

The female, above, loves to paw at you for attention. She is 12 lbs 4 oz at 5 weeks old. She gained 2 lbs 15 oz this week. Her average daily weight gain this week was 6.7 oz. She and her brothers are getting very quick on their feet!

Firstborn son, above, is showing more and more the brindle look of faded broad stripes, unlike his brother below that looks more like spots. He is very agile. He gained 4 lbs even this week, so now weighs 14 lbs 9 oz. He does not like separated from his mother and will whine at the door for her!

Capar Jr. here weighs the most still at 14 lbs 14 oz. He gained an even 4 lbs this past week, like his brother. Average daily weight gain for each of the boys was 9.1 oz. He looks so much like his father, even his personality, it's uncanny! Very sweet personality. He still is very calm and still when held.

The dark girls! Can you tell them apart?!

The doghouse is a great thing to try those new teeth on!

Sirin X Duman Males 7 WEEKS OLD!

Wolf boy here, as we affectionately call him due to his face markings, weighed 3 lbs 2 oz at 7 weeks old (Saturday). He gained 3 lbs 2 oz this week. His average daily weight gain was 7.1 oz. He is very sweet and huggable, still! A very mellow boy!

The pinto boy with all white body is more in-your-face for attention and more likely to seek shade during the 100 degree weather. He is a very friendly boy at 15 lbs 11 oz. He gained 3 lbs 9 oz this week, the leader of the pack in weight gain. Average daily weight gain was 8.1 oz! I think he wants to be the big boy. We will see if he gets larger than his pinto brother below. It's a possibility.

Pinto boy with the tail spot is more nibbly on the feet and shoes, still. He is also very friendly. He weighed 16 lbs 0 oz. He gained 3 lbs 1 oz this week, with an average daily weight gain of 7.0 oz. He remains the overall heavy-weight of the entire litter.

Sirin X Duman Females 7 WEEKS OLD!

Lightest female who has the lightest mask was 14 lbs 15 oz at 7 weeks old (Saturday). She gained 3 lbs 1 oz this week, and had an average daily weight gain this week of 7.0 oz. She still has the best eye contact, such that it seems like she's trying to read your mind!

White toes female who is also a light-colored body and has an all dark chin, was 14 lbs 15 oz also. She gained 3 lbs 7 oz this week, the big gainer of the girls. Her average daily weight gain was 7.9 oz, second only to one of her brothers in total weight gain this week and average daily weight gain for the week! This girl continues to mostly enjoy staying kicked back and observing activities without getting in the midst of them, although she does join in sometimes.

Dark female with a double dew claw (actually is one dew since the second pad has no actual claw in it) was 15 lbs 1 oz, the heavy-weight female of the sisterhood. Her weight gain for the week was 3 lbs 1 oz, with an average daily weight gain of 7.0 oz. She and her sister below are the biggest meet-and-greeters of the litter!

Darkest female weighed 14 lbs 10 oz on Saturday at 7 weeks old. She gained 3 lbs 2 oz this week for an average daily weight gain of 7.1 oz. She is still the friendliest and if allowed, will be the first in your lap and the first one out the gate!

Ilik X Capar puppies FOUR WEEKS OLD!

The female pup, above, weighs 9 lbs 5 oz at 4 weeks old. She gained 2 lbs 11 oz this week, which makes an average weight gain of 6.1 oz per day. She is happy-go-lucky and enjoyed dipping her feet in a dog-food-dish of ice water today in the 100 degree weather! She and firstborn son are still a bit scared of human feet.

The firstborn son, above, weighs 10 lbs 9 oz. He gained a whopping 4 lbs 1 oz this week. Average weight gain was 9.3 oz per day!!! He says he will take on his brother in a wrestling match any time! This guy likes to find a dark quiet spot in the heat and hole up. I don't blame him! He and his sister are about even in activity level, bouncing around and having fun, when the temps are more normal.

Capar Jr. weighs the most still at 10 lbs 14 oz. He gained 3 lbs 10 oz this week, with the average daily weigh gain being 8.3 oz. Today is the first day he is mostly steady on his rear legs! This guy gets the friendly greeter award for the week. He was also seen dipping feet in the ice-water! He prefers to mostly watch the goings on instead of get into a tussle, but he can't help but join in the play when attacked by the siblings! He is always good-natured about it. He seems more like a wise old man watching over his family at times!
