I managed to accomplish two, that’s right, TWO things this morning. I picked up the yard, cut the grass for the last time this year, and washed my truck. Picking up the yard and cutting the grass are one in the same activity, unless you want to shoot dog dung 30 feet out of your mower. The rest of my time was occupied with the pups.
Today was the beginning of the serious evaluation of the litter. Sue has been evaluating pups for 40 years. I have been evaluating pups for one day. I can get a little intimidating if you let it. It seems everyone has been doing this for 25 or more years.
The pups had a fun day. While they were running amok, Sue was evaluating movement, and structure. I was following behind with a roll of paper towels. These dogs really pee a lot.
Evaluating pups isn’t all that different from evaluating an adult. What you see at six weeks is a pretty good indication of what you will have as an adult. Sounds like I know what the hell im talking about ‘eh? Sue does a great job at explaining what to look at. I have an idea of what I like in an adult dog, now all I have to do is visualize that in a mini version. Kind of a “Mini-Me” situation. (Sorry, but Austin Powers cracks me up)
The GSD shoot went well yesterday also. I will be then first to admit, I don’t know the FIRST thing about a correct GSD, but I have been around enough to know a nice photo when I see it. (Shameless plug for yours truly)
Well, I need to take more puppy pictures this evening. So I gotta scram

Good grief! Where are the spots on that dog??
Seriously, nice photo of a non-Dal.
I really enjoy reading about the puppies' progress. Any choices yet?

We are narrowing it down, but we dont know yet. We are going to take some stack photos on Thursday. As for the spots on that dog, thats a good idea for a photoshop project.
What a humerous blog!
