A couple of our Gracy/Starbuck puppies at 5 weeks old peeking over the door to the whelping box.
Our yellow collar girl. She's our flashy show prospect. She's also doing some pretty impressive 5 foot retrieves. (Not bad for a puppy her age.)
Purple collar boy at 5 weeks sitting very nicely for his picture. This is one sweet puppy.
Our red collar girl. This one is my daughter Clare's favorite. Clare often steals her out of the whelping box and puts her on her lap while she does homework or takes her into bed with her while she reads. This red collar girl is one of the kindest puppies we have ever had.
Blue collar boy. Very pretty dog with what looks like good performance drive. At 5 weeks he is retrieving nicely.
Our brown boy (who we call Gus-Gus) at 5 weeks. Looks to be show quality, though he is going to a wonderful companion home. He is super kind and laid back.
Our Gracy and Starbuck puppies born Januray 26, 2009. WOW! What a beautiful litter! They are exceptionally healthy and robust. Gracy is my personal hero. It is hard to be a first time mother at her age. She ended up having a C-section but she never rejected her litter and she has been taking care of them like a pro. Good Girl Gracy!
