Sherwood puppies at 8 weeks

Breeder Talk
  • They look to be having such fun together, great videos, thank you

  • I love how you crate train, it seems very "natural". They are all really cute pups!

  • Have you decided on their registered names yet? I'm just curious what you came up with…:o

  • As unofficial photographer and puppy socializer extroidinaire (no matter how many ways I try to spell that, it doesn't look correct…) I can attest to not only the absolute and utter cuteness, but also the wonderful temperament of these puppies. I've been going over about once a week since these guys were born, and they truly are the most fearless and most personality filled little buggers. It has been an incredible experience watching them thrive and grow and learn and outsmart me each and every week.
    Last week I got to hear several little puppy baroos & other noises. Too cute!!!

    (Just wanted to make you all jealous :D )

  • just out of curiosity, does the pink on their noses darken up or will some of them always have pink on their noses?

    They are very cute. I am partial to the tris of course. :)

  • @irena:

    My favourite is tri male.
    By the way, great t-shirt :cool:.

    Isn't the shirt awesome? I got it at the BCOA national specialty this year. I knew the vender, who is also the artist, from eons ago when I was into Chinese Cresteds. I asked her to do a trotting tri and she came up with this design. I think it turned out fabulous. :)

    Trust me….most litters I have had do not respond so favorably to crate-training. Most pitch a fit at first but these just walk right on into the crates when they get tired. They are extremely clean too and they will not soil their crates nor will they poop in the puppy pen if they can help it. They are pretty good about using the potty box to poop in but I'm still working on getting them to use the box for piddles.

    These pups have been the most pleasant litter I have had in a long time. They are super smart and willing to please. I just show them what I want them to do, praise, and they pick it up fast. I truly couldn't be happier with their temperament. They have been a real joy to have around. :)

    A big, fat raspberry to you! :p

  • Haha AJs Human. Several people on the forum have been able to come watch the little ones grow. The pups and I always enjoy their visits. Any other local people who want to meet them are welcome to come also. :)

    Sometimes when there is a lot of white coloration around the nose it takes longer for the nose color to fill in. Puppy 1 is filling in more and more each week but it is one of the slowest I have ever had to fill in. Only time will tell but I don't think his nose will ever be completely black.

    By seeing them every week, I guarantee I won't end up having the crazy idea that I have time & space for ANOTHER basenji right now…..

    Although if the plain red girl would only fit in my purse & I could sneak it past Bindi.....:D

  • Yes, she's my favorite. She's so pretty…

    She may just grow up to be a spectacular bitch. I hope to see her pics as an adult.

    It's an OMG all right, but not how you'd think. At first it was blamed on a family members vindictive ex but now I have an update from someone... "Had not heard anything from the woman that was buying the puppy so I telephoned her. Well.... While the puppies were real (lots of real time updates, photos, videos, & talked about them to her friends & family on her personal Facebook page), it looks like the woman that was selling them made up a series of lies because a) did want to deal with shipping a puppy; b) sold it to someone local; d) sold it for more money to someone else; d) who the hell knows. The woman that was the intended buyer who posted all the ads is livid and perplexed. She plans to talk to an attorney friend to make sure it is okay to plaster the seller's name everywhere. The world is full of jerks, jackasses, and idiots. Had a long talk with buyer and told her to only deal with AKC registered breeders in the future. She is lucky she didn't lose any money."

    Oooh, I see what you mean. I didn't look at the front facing pic. I had noticed the feet as well. But, you do have temperment, so at least that's one thing!

    They're lovely puppies - I love to see them when their noses are just getting colour. I think the tri girl looks very promising - have you a favourite?
  • Sherwood pups are here!

    The following site has them at a reasonable price plus if you click on Color/Pattern choices at the bottom of the page, you can see exactly how to measure your girl to get the correct size: http://nu-nee.tripod.com/bb.htm Whatever you decide to use try to remember that the likelihood they last more than a day is low unless you are incredibly vigilant. Personally, I gave up on the panties. The bleeding was never very much & Ella kept herself incredibly clean so I rarely saw or had blood spots to clean up. The worst were my sheets (yes, my spoiled B sleeps under the covers at my feet). I tried keeping panties on her but by morning they were shredded as well as sanitary napkin bits everywhere. It was cheaper just to change my sheets daily.
