the boys

Boy 1 - Puppy number 2
Nickname: Big Arrow

Named for the white flash down his chest & belly. Just look at that flashy white face! He was the biggest puppy, just.

Born: 9:37 am
Weight at Birth: 366 g





Boy 2 - Puppy number 3
Nickname: Suck Monster

A bit of a mean name for an adorable 1-minute-old puppy, perhaps? But he popped out, Neka removed his bag & umbilical cord and he stuck straight onto a nipple and it took both my hands to prise him off in order to dry him! Such a determined little guy has to do well in life, don't you think? Looks like he'll be a good tricolour with plenty of his dad's rich tan.

Boy 3 - Puppy number 5
Nickname: Chew

He came out full of energy and I think he even broke his own bag. He must have been very impatient to get to the milk bar, though, because as I picked him up to dry him off, I noticed he was chewing on his own arm! Hungry little guy. Sorry for the terrible photo, but he's still our little rocket and won't keep still for 2 seconds, so I'll try harder for the next pic. This is our true black & tan boy with markings exactly like his dad.

Boy 4 - Puppy number 8
Nickname: Little Arrow

With markings so much like the first boy, you can see how we struggled at first to tell them apart. However, this boy has more tan in his face markings. Super white toes!
