It seems like only yesterday when I carried home that tiny little bundle of a puppy dog. He was substantially smaller than the pups of my own previous litters; but from my first visit to see the litter at 3 weeks old he had stood out for me. Knowing nothing of three quarters of his mother's breeding taking on this puppy was indeed a risk. I tried to research the pedigree, but quarter of the breeding was impossible to really trace. They were just names on a KC document, with no photos and no recognisable kennel names. Half of the pedigree was purely working lines, some of them serving Police dogs and the last quarter familiar German show lines.
Well anyway, that's all done and dusted, there is no going back ... and look at him now!
Sometimes it's hard to remember that he's still a baby, he towers over the bitches and I'm almost certain he's now taller than Mikey. He's rangey and skinny, but I do see a slight difference/improvement in him the last couple of weeks. Let's face it he's still a "Minor Puppy" he's not 9 months for another couple of weeks. He stands tall and proud but he's such a sweet boy and he has a gentle, kind expression. Like his father his tail never stops wagging and that tongue - well that has given him another nickname of Mr Licky Loki!
This photo was taken just two weeks ago (Well on the 9.5.15)
Though he has a long way to go, there is obvious improvement in coat and general condition - oh yeah .. and he's taller!!! lol
Onward and Forward eh!
