Endevor Hounds

Time marches on, and now at 13 weeks we have just 4 of the pups still here, with the cold damp October/November days it is not the best time of year to take photos, with the grass having had a soaking lately we decided the bench in the run might be a better alternative for a photo session.

We didn't get around to any stacked photos at the 12 week mark, so here are a few others as subs.

Now the pups have reached 10 weeks of age, some of the litter have already departed to start life in their 'forever homes'. Others wait to grow on a little more, two of the boys; to see which of them will make the longest journey of all. Getting them to stand still for long enough, to take decent photographs of them in the garden is a real task, they would far rather gallop about and try out their running gear. They are 'growing like weeds now' as my Dutch friend would say, in the last fortnight each of them has gained at least 3kg. Their curiousity grows with them, today they made an escape plan into the girls kennel and just like a lot of human kids found great delight jumping from one bed to the other and rolling about on them play fighting, then playing chase up and down the passage runway. They're sleeping well tonight!.

Mole
At first she was so round-like with a shorter very dense black coat when she was born, she looked like a little mole, especially before she discovered her legs. She's a real cutie too and loves her snuggle time, she does her `own thing` and is the first with her nose in something different, no flies on her either.

Cutie Pie 
She was the first to put her paws up in play, she often lies on her back pawing up at me, and loves a snuggle. Always likes somebody to play with her, and she's happy to wade in with the rough boy games.

Sweet Pea
She has an expression to melt your heart, she looks quite sad at times - she’s a thinker! She seems to have taken on the role of protector of the litter, & will growl and even bark a little if she's not sure about something, although she is soon reasurred and happy with life.

However, after the performance she gave at 5weeks 2 days she is in grave danger of being renamed S.B (spoiled brat), I was on the phone to a friend when a terrible screaming was consistantly emitted from the kennel outside. Hubbie was sent to investigate & it stopped for a few minutes, then recommenced. Running to see what dreadful fait had become one of the precious brood, I found Sweet Pea screaming and climbing up the dividing wall inside the kennel; apparently she was quite upset that Aunty Lily had a bone and she did not

Softie
Because he is the one that wants to stay on suckling Mamma and just seems soft compared to the others. He lays in the bed on his own just cuddling and playing with the teddies, he often whinges a bit, but it's usually just because he's sleepy and the others are keeping him awake. He is still the cuddly baby that cries when he's hungry, when he wants to.... or just when he wants to sleep but he's clever enough to make it to the toileting area each time for 1's & 2's.

Springer
Because he was the squarest heaviest pup from the start and with heavy markings more like a Springer spaniel's. He is a real good guy, knows already whats best in life, loves his grub, he's been caught lying in the food trough more than once lately, (one way to make sure you get your share & the others don't), he loves his Mom and love cuddles too. That not to say that none of the others do, they all like a lap session.

Pretty Boy `The Explorer` 
Maybe he could be called 'the poser' too - here his attention was taken; watching a neighbour's little boy on his trampalin.
He has the most even of head markings and body markings that you could possible ask for. He was the first to take note of his surroundings; peering over the edge of Mum’s bed after feeds and being the only one to scale the wall of the whelping box at only 16 days he has been dubbed `The Explorer` too. He carries out his explorations it is seems the job he has been given by his sibblings, as they wait until he has given the all-clear and then follow his lead. He is fast developing his play boy image he just loves to have a good time.

` Ferret`
He looks just like a little ferret nose emerging from beneath Mum’s tail feathers, he comes up for air then ferrets down again between all his brothers and sisters to get just where and exactly what he wants. He a cute looking boy but there are no flies on him! He's so cute to look at he just can't do anything bad, well not while your watching

We had a few problems at the 6 weeks stage - official photographer was not happy with the weather conditions  So they were taken on the wet sloping concrete hard standing, consequently one pup escaped the shoot completely
