As promised, here are some stacked shots and headshots of the puppies for "evaluation" purposes. These are necessary for anyone looking to buy a puppy for show purposes. For everyone else, it's enough to tell them they are sound, pretty and wonderfully playful and very loving.
First up, in birth order, is Mr. Blue.
Mr. Blue is the chunk of the litter and has been since day 1. He is also very sound both in terms of body and head and would be our choice for pick of the litter. At this point in time, it looks like he's going to the family that owns his mom, Juneau.
Here's Mr. Red.
Mr. Red is the "other" boy and he's very nice with a nice short back and a very pretty head.
Ms. Plummy is the smallest of the 3 girls but she's also very sturdy and very pretty.
Plummy is the girl everyone falls in love with. She's a very nice girl in all ways.
Ms. Peach is the female version of Mr. Blue.
Peaches has a tight coat and is very athletic. She has a lovely rear and a pretty headpiece.
Ms. Margarita is a chunky girl -- the second heaviest in the litter -- and was the last born.
Margarita has a lot of her mom's markings and has lots of attitude. She has a great tailset and nice angulation overall.
So, those are the "official" photographs of the kids at this moment in time. Over the next week or so, we'll get them more used to being stacked and get to move them so we can see how sound they are in terms of straight-line movement as well as sidegait. Right now, we're very happy with this litter overall. Every one of these puppies is quite sound structurally and outstanding temperamentally.
