12 weeks old,


Samantha and Keira during training session. My friend Cheri brought two of her dogs over to practice with the puppies, so each puppy met two new dogs and we practiced leash walking and manners. When the puppies first spotted a strange dog in our driveway they all alerted and ran to the fence barking, at that point I wondered how they would react if those dogs came into their area. But just like their mother, they had no trouble accepting a friendly visitor that I invited in. They were however not very interested in those two dogs, they showed more interest in the smaller dog than the German Shepherd. I was so impressed with all 4 of my puppies as they walked like champs on the leash, mostly ignoring the other dogs nearby. I hope they will be as good when I start taking them to group classes next week.

Teddy, or as I call him "my handsome boy"



Teddy wearing a harness, when puppies are that young I prefer using a harness to avoid injuries to their neck and trachea from a regular collar




Enya has no trouble finding a shady spot on a warm day

I pulled out some weeds and immediately my puppies took the initiative and decided to help. Teddy grabbed the unwelcome plant and showed the girls, that weeds need to be taken and destroyed

















the girls were quite impressed with Teddy's idea of helping with the yardwork around here


















The patio door opening has always been a favorite observation spot, here is Samantha hanging out

They sure have grown! They are beautiful pups.
 
What gorgeous puppies. It makes me warmer just looking at pictures of all that sunshine, and thinking of puppies finding shade to stay cool. A nice break for those of us in northern climes.
