Maya's Puppies at 1 Week

Maya's F1B puppies were born on November 5th.The Daddy dog is Rufus. Here are some pictures of the puppies at 1 week of age. Their eyes won't open for another week, so right now they are just cute little blobs of fur. Since there are only 6 puppies, Maya has had an easy time keeping them fed and every puppy is growing like crazy.

There are 2 girls and 4 boys in this litter. Their colors are mostly darker than our "normal" litters, but this is Maya's first litter with Rufus who is a darker shade than Bailey was.

One of the most interesting colors is purple (ribbon) boy who has a white chest and a small "blaze" of white in his head. Very unique and distinguishing.

As we tell people when they ask us, there is no way for us to tell what they will look like as they age. Most will become a little curlier, although some of these are pretty curly at this age. The curl, as an adult, will depend a lot on how you choose to trim their coat.

These are cute puppies; enjoy! (I'll even stick a short video at the bottom)

Here's a short video I took on Saturday while my wife and I were "changing the sheets" in the whelping box. Maya was outside, and the puppies were doing what they do best - laying on top of each other and occasionally yelping.
