October 26th 2014- Semper Fi & Picanti
NOTE* Updated videos of this litter is on our Red Diamonds Facebook page
Fun Photo Shoot today.
Yellow Girl
The runt of the litter- Yellow Girl
Not every litter has a runt, but if present, the runt will be the smallest member of the litter
The one that needs a little extra special care and attention to ensure that she can feed enough, and is not left out by the other puppies.
When we started feeding her alone without the pack she gained 2 lbs in a week.
The runt may continue to need a little extra help when weaned, and careful consideration given to catching up with her physical development.
She caught up nicely and its hard to tell she is the runt anymore. This little girl has been spoiled to the point she loves to be held and loved on.
She can be very independent at times but always greets you with a wagging tail . She will do great with an older dog at home . We call her HAPPY Girl. This is your future Lap dog.
Purple Girl
The Party Girl- Purple Girl
This little girl is full of Spunk
Has splash of Mom in her where she is very laid back and loving and then the adventurous side of dad comes out in her.
Always looking for the Party. She is so much fun to watch and play she sometimes is in just a little world of her own playing on her own.
Has a great nose always looking for something new to do.
This girl shows no fear you will have to keep a very watchful eye on her. Would be great for a family with kids.
Red Girl
The love bug- Red Girl
This is the puppy that has learned that people love her, and that getting attention and love is highly enjoyable!
She will almost certainly be very confident with strangers and very friendly to you,
and may soon catch your heart through her cute Behavior and obvious appeal for your attention.
As an older dog, she will likely continue to be very loving, but may be prone to becoming clingy.
You will never go to the bathroom alone ever again with Red Girl in the house. She wants to be with you no matter where you are.
Pink Girl
The Mommy’s Girl- Pink Girl
This is the pup that never strays far from mom, she feels her happiest when she is beside Picanti.
Because this puppy will probably not make a huge effort to come and say hello to you, she may be overlooked in favor of the other pups looking for attention.
She can be very independent at times .
This pup may find the transition from being away from her litter to being with a human family quite challenging during the early days, and may display signs of separation anxiety.
However, properly handled and managed, this pup is the one that is likely to be the most loyal, and build the strongest bond with you
Blue Boy
The quiet one- Blue Boy
This is the puppy that Loves his naps. He seems to be asleep or on the verge of sleep while the others are all active .
This puppy simply is a little more laid back and sedentary than the rest of the litter.
But when he is awake ( While the others are sleeping) he is full of life and makes me laugh. Very loving and sweet.
This pup is a good pick for an owner looking for a laid back dog that isn’t too excitable.
Is active enough to enjoy long walks but when he’s done, let him sleep on your lap or beside you, he loves to be close.
Grey Boy
The shy one- Grey Boy
This is the shy one he will generally watch you from a distance, being alert and interested in what is going on, but not keen to push him self forward and put himself out there.
He is more likely to err on the cautious side , but once he has bonded with you and accept you as his family,
he will forge a close relationship with you and His true personality will really begin to shine through.
This is the boy that prefers being with me other than with his pack. He will make a family companion and be devoted to you for life. This is your Semper Fi .
Black Boy
The inquisitive one- Black Boy
This is the pup that is into everything!
He wants to sniff you, climb on you, chew your fingers, pull your shoelace, show you his toys, and generally get out there into the big wide world and find out about everything that there is to know!
This puppy is not at all shy and is unlikely to be affected by nerves over new situations, and may well be a good pick for higher-level training or canine sports.
However,he may also prove to be challenging to train, as he is so inquisitive, and may be prone to picking up bad habits if you do not keep him adequately entertained and cater to his growing needs!
He is a clone of his daddy Semper Fi and also going to be true to his name ALWAYS FAITHFUL.
Teal Boy
The boss puppy- Teal Boy
The “boss” puppy is likely to be the litter member that is slightly larger than all of the others, and may already be in the formative stages of taking the alpha role over the other puppies in the litter.
He will generally be the first one to feed, and not shy about pushing other puppies out of the way to get to a teat!
He may also appear to be slightly further along in terms of their development than the other litter members, instigating games and play fighting, and leading the other puppies Behavior
This puppy is likely to be a bold, outgoing and intelligent dog, which will require a confident handler!
He does have his moms laid back side when playtime is over he becomes your best friend and just wants to cuddle.
