@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.

After reading about Josie and Bindi, I thought I'd better update everyone on the Damisi/Sugar situation. As many of you know, I did have problems with Sugar and Damisi before Sugar had the puppies. They were constantly snarking and they had to be watched. Many people warned me that they would probably not want to be together after the puppies. I am very happy to report that Sugar and Damisi are much more relaxed now with each other. They have played about 3 or 4 times together. Running, jumping and play fighting. I'm so happy with this, but so sorry for you Robyn with Bindi and Josie. Sugar is now much more relaxed .

That is great news… usually if you can keep them from having a complete knock down drag out fight, you can work them back together... especially once the bitch having the pups decided that 1. the other is not a threat to the pups, or 2. the one having the pups decides after that it was not really "her" cup of tea...ggg (I had that with Maggii, she was ready to put the pups out on the street at 2wks... ggg... I had to hold her down to have them nurse... and she would have gladly given them all to Mickii had I let Mickii get milk, we are NOT talking Mother of the Year)... Mickii on the other hand was what I consider Mother of the Year... she took wonderful care of her pups and was never ever threatened by the others (once the eyes opened) and let every one in to play with her pups... Fatia was over the top with her pups and considered everyone a threat... even her own Mom, Mickii... and never did let down... leading me to placing Fatia with one of her pups (best decision I ever made it was the perfect solution)

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

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!
