are they all yours

are they all yours

 

Yeh... may keep them all, may not... time will tell. When we bred them we had planned on keeping two of them so its not such a big deal being they easy on feed anyway. We have three adults which eat between two to two and a half cups per day each and the pups are close to that now... some days they don't eat it all, some days they do. Easy keepers. Though one is quite a lump compared to the others right now. LOL!

 

I do like having so many to pick from... have one picked the grey/blue pup for sure but can't think of a name for him yet. I like the other pups too, its tough choosing sometimes. LOL!

I think it helps them focus and increases their prey drive, especially if they catch a few. How old is your dog, if thats all you have for him then that'll have to do. You might try lure cousing, check for clubs in your area.

 

I used to flip boards and whatnot when I had terrier pups, they went nuts over crickets that were under them and they were keen to watch for the board flipping to start too.

you'll have some right fun entering 4 pups and trying to give 3 adults work.
