After Breakfast Activities!


Notice how the darker fawn pups (left) and lighter fawn pups (right) tend to group and play together.  I've noticed that adjacent birth-order pups tend to sleep together during early puppyhood.

The two lighter fawn males were born first.  The dark female was third and the darker male was last.  The female has the high white socks.  The darker male has lower white socks.  The two lighter males have very little white on their feet/toes.

The soaked kibbles are Purina One SmartBlend Large Breed Puppy Formula.

Nazli X Duman Puppies One Week Old


The female is the darkest one above (second from left).  The rest are males. 
All puppies and mom are healthy and doing fantastic.

Above is the female.  She was 20.8 oz at birth and 40.3 oz (2 lbs, 8 oz) at one week old (today).

Male 1 (above) was 24.0 oz at birth and 49.2 oz (3 lbs 1 oz) at one week old.
He likes to sleep belly up.

Male 2 was 19.5 oz at birth and 40.0 oz (2 lbs 8 oz) at one week old,
having gained back his birth weight plus some by 2 days old.

Male 3 was 19.5 oz at birth and 25.2 oz (2 lbs 3 oz) at one week old.
He gained back his birth weight plus some by 3 days old. 
It's not unusual to drop a bit of weight after birth. 
This guy has places to go, probably trying to find his mother.
