There are three male puppies in the December 2024 litter. These photos were taken when they were three weeks old. They weigh about 4-6 lbs each. They are beginning to walk around their room. All of the male puppies are now reserved.
Their temporary names, from left to right (on a computer screen), are: Black, Red, and Blue. "Blue" has markings only on his head. "Black" has several centrally-spaced spots on his back and tail, in addition to those on his head. Both of these pups are classical "badger-marked" dogs that will retain lighter black/grey/tan markings as they mature. "Red" is all white.
General Comments:
Weight at birth, and as young puppies, does not necessarily correlate with adult size.
When puppies are marked, the markings will fade as the puppies age...but will not completely disappear. Puppies that will have all-tan ("golden") markings start out extremely dark with a "smudged" look; the markings lighten by the time they are two months old and continue to lighten somewhat after that. Badger marked puppies have very distinct markings in black, grey, and tan that fade somewhat as they age, remaining darkest on the ears. All-white puppies often have very faint beige markings that are visible after a bath.
