It's an adventure. Tari isn't really at my house, the breeder still officially has her. Some IG breeders feel that they aren't ready to go home until 10 weeks, smaller dogs mature more slowly. But, I live about 5 miles away from the breeder, so I go over and take 2-4 puppies from her, then bring them back several hours later. This is working out well, my guys get used to the puppies, Tari gets used to my house, but has her siblings with her. I think this will help with mama separation when I do take her.
Murphy wants to be left alone! he tells the puppies to back off in no uncertain terms, but they don't understand him. He's been really good - snarling and nasty, but runs away. He has every right, I just have to make sure the puppies don't push him too far. Finn, I can't read Finn, she either wants to kill them or play with them, either way I'm not letter her have too much of an opportunity.
The latest round of photos - these are mostly "stacking" photos, the breeder is trying to see what they'd look like in the show ring, if they will stand right.
