RED and ORANGE

Hi All,

Two dear puppies here with me still. One girl, Miss Red will be off to her new home this coming wednesday and as for Mr. Orange...welll.. he is sooo nice that I am hanging on to him to make sure he gets into an active home...show for sure but he is very smart and would do well in field and obedience or agility. If you know of anyone looking for such a lovely boy please let me know.

As you know, the weeks between 6 and 11 and sooo very important as the puppies are like little sponges wanting to learn and to please you especially at this time. Take advantage of this and teach them as much as you can. The basics should definitely be taught now, ie,  sit, down, look at me, wait, come, stand and basic retrieve. Let me know how you are all doing with these, I would love to hear from you.

And do not forget to be very careful where you take your puppy as he is not covered by his shots yet...you do not want him to pick up some nasty bug which would delay his growth and hinder his learning at this time.

Water....it is too cold for pups to go into a lake or the ocean not but that does not mean that you can't try to be creative and figure out how to get them in some water be it your bathtub with you in it too, or a little kiddie pool with 3 inches of water in it or even give him a bath in the kitchen sink and let him explore toys in the water ( Note: if you do this be very careful as he may take a flying leap out of the sink)

Once again..please send me emails as to how puppy is doing or I may start calling to find out...LOL

Cheers!
