A day in the life of a puppy; work and play.  Our neighbor boy helped to leash train the puppies.  Here he is with blue boy, getting him used to walking on a lead.  He eventually had the puppy walking around our dog yard on the leash.

After a hard day's work, it is time to relax and play in the pool.  Here purple girl is playing queen of the mountain.

Yellow boy and blue boy are playing pool tag and yellow boy is "it".  Blue boy is about to chase him.

We had an evaluation of the litter on Saturday and good friend and AKC judge Kathy Clark assisted us in deciding which puppies would be best for future breeding potential.  Here we have the boys, Blue, Green and Yellow being gone over by the judge.  Our photographer must have gotten tired as I don't have any good photos of the girls.  If I find some better photos, I will publish them.

Here is our puppy family together at the vet last week.  Heartworm tests for the adults, rabies for Vando, checkups and chiropractic for the pups.  All passed with flying colors.

Here are the boys; blue, green and yellow:

Puppies at 7 weeks.  Time goes by so quickly.  Next week the puppies start going to their new homes.  We posed the puppies in our rose bush, except for purple girl who got to pose on the porch railing.  Here are the girls;  Purple and orange:

By the time I got the girls' baths, the boys were already dirty again.  It will be interesting getting them all clean at one time for their coming out part on Saturday when we have an AKC judge and some of the new puppy families at our house for a conformation evaluation.  More about that later.  Here are the bath photos for purple and orange girls.
