Well, just looking at the pictures at 4 wks, Bubba is my pick at this age, he is the most balanced at this tender age.

He's a little more curious as well. I can't wait for the next few weeks to see how he develops.

It's hard to tell about Talker with him leaning back but I agree with Pat that Bubba is the one who stands out at this point. :)

I'm glad you guys agree so far. He's actually been my pick for awhile. But, we'll see as time goes on. Hard to tell his tail set with the fat he has around his backend.

I have to agree about Bubba! It's kinda funny where you have them stacked… on the KITCHEN COUNTER this is where they would give anything to be later on in their lives, LOL!!!

Arlene,
Look at all the pups, they are all going to have the same tail set…. They are all about the same and I don't really see that changing. They would have an acceptable tail set, IMO. -

I'm leaning to keeping one of the boys. I have enough dark dogs and enough girls. I only have Shadow, who is neutered as a boy. So I really would prefer one of the boys, but I am looking at Tink too. She is such a sweetie-loes to cuddle!
As for the counter thing, So True! One day they will only wish they were up there!!

OR… they will just get up there and look you in the eye and say "Hey, you started it!"

Hmmm… Arlene... can't wait to see pics at 8 wks and see if we all still agree on Bubba...but the Tri bitch is really cute too...
But I can certainly understand your reasons for keeping a boy and it makes sense....

Yes, Tink is short for Tinkerbell.

The tri bitch is, I don't know. Her body is okay, but so far, I don't like her stop. We will have to see. I actually, at this point prefer Tink's head.

Just curious…when you say you don't like her "stop," what do you mean???

Obviously a disadvantage to only see the pictures, you have "real time"…ggg
But I think the Tri bitch's stop at this age is just fine.....
From the Breed Standard, Stop is referred to as just below the eye, as the foreface tapers to the muzzle: The skull is flat, well chiseled and of medium width, tapering toward the eyes. The foreface tapers from eye to muzzle with a perceptible stop. Muzzle shorter than skull, neither coarse nor snipy, but with rounded cushions.

True Pat, at this age it's hard to tell, but she seems to have a deeper stop, and has seemed this way for awhile, than the others.
But it could also be the darker colour. Looks are sometimes very deceptive.

For sure, but all in all, very nice litter…. Congrats

Thanks, Pat. I was hoping for certain things, but I will have to wait to see if they came out the way I was hoping.
