WE HAVE A WINNER! PURPLE COLLAR GIRL IT IS!

It has been down to these two girls almost the whole time but after much discussion with Shawna, we have decided - we all agree - the purple collar girl is our best choice!!

We were discussing what she thought and here were her final observations on purple:

• She's a bit more curious and does not shy away from most anything that she experiences
• New situations go very smooth with her
• She is a bit more energetic than the dark pink
• She did the best with the ENS and I just think she's going to be the one eager to learn and not spook in new situations

So we have our girl!

BEHAVIOR UPDATE

Here is some of what I am discussing with the breeder...(I had asked a bunch of questions)

Yes they are changing so much as they grow, but the one which did best with the ENS would be the purple collar then the dark pink close behind. The purple collar is most puppy social would say while the light pink girl likes to be near the human. The dark pink seems less pushy at feeding time. None of them seem to be the picked on pup they all have their own times when they initiate and are initiated upon by the others. They started spending time outside and love it so outside playtime right now is there favorite. I'm really thinking the purple collar right now myself from behavior. But like you said we will surely see in the next couple weeks.

Some observations from her daughter:

The purple collar one was moderately calm during the ENS exercises, the exercise she had most problem with was the q-tips. The one she did best at was the towel. At feeding time she is pushy. And as I've seen all three of the females usually initiate play time, as for playing she can most the time hold her own.

 The dark pink collar one also did well at the ENS exercises, the one she did worse at was being held upside down. The one she did best at was the towel. She is typically very calm during feeding time. I feel like she tries to hold her own but the others just get the best of her.

The light pink collar one did not like the ENS exercises at all, she did worse at the q-tips and best at the towel. She is pushy during feeding time, and she has the heart of a bossy pup but not the size.

All three of them love to follow you around. None of them are the nervous type. 

GEAR FOR THE BABY HAS BEGUN ARRIVING

We're getting ready!  Whichever pup we choose will be coming in early November which is not far away at all now!

THEY'RE GROWING!

We have open eyes and more movement now!  Adorable!

We have our eye on the girls with the purple and dark pink collars as the forerunners at the moment based on their early ENS observations.

LOOK AT THEM GROW!

Just more puppy picture spam - not a whole lot going on with them at this age, so just a few more photos...
