Dixie and her babies are doing fine. They are growing before my eyes. The one red nose male has already reached 3 lbs, cannot beleive it! The rest of the males are between 2 and 2 1/2 lbs. One is 2 3/4 lbs. The females all weigh in the same, 1 3/4 lbs, but one is 1 1/4 lbs. Getting big fast.
Soon, I will try and determine the "worthiness" of each pup, in other words, determine if the pup will be a possibility for the show ring, or weight pulling, game or a pet. I know it is hard until prolly close to 6 months of age to make a real good judgment, because all their teeth should be in by then to determine the bite and such. But what are some good qualities to look for now??Some are obvious, such as, 2 males have exceptionally LOOOOOOOOOOOONG bodies, look like giant worms!! One has a pointy head(lol) the littlest female seems really nice, size, legnth, head size, personality...Just wondering if Im missing anything and what to look for in the next few weeks as they continue to grow!(and stink!!PU-they are stinky!!)
