@donc - Not true that breeders traditionally breed for conformation only. Breeders (responsible breeders) breed for health, temperament and conformation. Health/temperament is at the top of the list. Breeders do of course look for certain conformation but that does not exclude Health & Temperament.

Hey, Talker is really coming around! Looking forward to seeing them over the next few weeks.
-
He is starting to look better. But his ear set is a little odd. Most times his ears seem to be set further apart.
-
Awe I have to come and visit more often these babies are so cute
-
I'm going to try to load a video, if not here's the link:

Cute video…I love how Indi gets pushed into the box of paper. :D:D
-
So, soooooo cute! What beautiful pups! Glad to hear things have calmed down on the Sugar/Damisi front. Keep us posted…
-
OOooooohhh, I want one they are sooooo adorable!!!:o
-
Puppies are looking good. We seen a bunch of pictures, its nice to finally see them in action. Thanx for posting the vid Arlene.
-
Hey Nicholas, I have a few more I will try to post them. They just take sooo long to transfer over.

-

Here's a link if anyone's interested in updated videos and pics.

They just get cuter & cuter! Have you decided which one you are going to keep for yourself? From the videos it looks like you are leaning towards Bubba?
-
Well, I did at one time think Bubba, but I definitely think Tank is turning out better in many ways. I have to make my decision as one is going this weekend!
-
I agree Arlene, Tank is my pick over Bubba now. But hard to tell just from a few photos. Movement, personality, and other things can really make a difference. Hard to tell without getting your hands on the dogs.
I'm sure you'll have a ton of fun with whoever you choose! Please keep sharing!
-
Well, Bubba is pigheaded. Tank is more amenable. He's better with the other dogs-doesn't bully. He is more even tempered at this point. I'm giving them their second shots today before the two of them leave tomorrow, so I'll be starting to take them 'out and about'. That should help his temperment even more. He was actually the calmer of the two for tattoing as well. The thing I'm really impressed with (I know this doesn't mean much) is his chest and his wrinkle. Although, I find the shoulder set a little forward beside Bubba, I don't know if this will be a problem.
-
So Arlene, which one did you end up keeping?
-
I'm not sure I'm keeping any. Tank is still here, but if I can find a good home, he will probably go with certain limitations. Such as showing. Bubba's owners have agreed not to neuter him yet until I see him at six months. They are really very good people. There are new videos of the two on the photobucket page, but they move so fast, it's hard to catch pics of them.
-
Just a few updates. Tank will be going to a new home. The people are very nice and wish to show him, at least they are willing to try, they don't know much about it but they think it would be fun, and they will be coming to racing this weekend to see what that is all about.
Lilo will also be going to Nicholas on April 4. So wish him luck-he's going to need it! (Sorry Nicholas) Lilo is a climber and has just decided that escaping the xpen by pulling it down is the greatest thing. But she's a cuddler and kisser as well. Ahhh, the best of both worlds!
