We are still in the grip of Winter, with yet another Winter Storm looming on the horizon. With all the snow, which has been melting and freezing, the puppies haven’t been able to enjoy the outside world. But they are growing and thriving, and somehow, they are now 8 weeks old! We did our usual photoshoot, to get some great pictures of them, and I’m so happy with how they came out! Let’s start with the boys…

I love the picture of the brothers, with Sam snuggling up against Dean. The girls were next, and posed so beautifully for us! You would think they were professional puppy models!

All the puppies are beautiful, and we had the hardest time choosing our keeper. In the end we decided to keep Shannon. It’s very difficult to let any of them go, and my heart will break when they leave, but we found great homes for Danika and Bryce. For now, both Sam and Dean are staying. We didn’t plan on this, but they both have some beautiful virtues, so we are keeping them for a few more weeks, to see how they look at 10 weeks old.
As we already have their handsome half brother, Nolan, we weren’t planning on keeping a smooth boy. Since Nolan and Sam are both smooth tri colors, and closely related, we might let Sam go, if the right show home comes along. There’s just something about Sam that catches your eye. And we’ve never had a rough tri color, so when our co-breeder asked us to keep Dean, it didn’t take much to convince us.
They all had good eye checks, and they all went to the vet 2 days ago for their 1st vaccines and health checks, and they all did great. That’s all for now, I’ll post updates soon, promise!
