Despite the puppies turning 5 weeks old yesterday, I do have 4.5 week stacked photos of the kids to share. I'll give a little bit of a rundown on each:
Alex is the most laid-back of the group. He's happy, affectionate, and wants to be with his people. He's usually the last one out of the pen, but once loose he explores with the best of them. Not shy by any means, he's the "watcher" of the group.
Andy
Andy is an adventure puppy through and through. He barrels into new situations with vigor, is the first or second puppy in your lap, and is the most likely to be tackling one of his siblings. He's very sensible in his play style, quickly letting go if the littermate he's currently mauling squeaks. Andy also has quite the wigglebutt!
Captain
Captain is the most "intense" pup of the group. He's extremely smart, was the first puppy to play tug, and always has a toy in his mouth. He most frequently gets the "zoomies", running blindly until something breaks his stride. This boy loves being played with and will lick your face as long as you let him.
Spy
Spy-man is a mellow guy, but very confident and fun. He's usually the pup on his back while wrestling, though he's one of the larger puppies. He's content being cuddled, but does like chasing thrown toys and shuffling human feet. Spy is also very fond of pant legs. :)
Mac
Mac is still the biggest pup... quite the little tank. He's more middle of the road as far as temperament. While very affectionate and playful, he has a very definite "off switch." This puppy has the exact temperament I was hoping for with this cross: smart, drivey, but able to hang out and make a great companion.
Ellie
Ellie is definitely the "talker" of the litter. She's happy to tell you that walking by her without petting is off limits. She seems to be more interested in her littermates and people than toys, but has very nice food drive. Though not pushy, she loves to be the center of attention.
Cammie
...or as I like to call her, Pistol Jr. This pup has Attitude with a capital "A." She's the only pup that won't lay happily on her back while being held. However, she's very focused, confident, and loves to tug. She carries herself with assurance and if you can catch her when she's still, she is always standing four square with head held high.
Fiona
The most affectionate of the puppies, Fiona wants nothing more than to hang out in your lap. Being the smallest of the litter, she does get picked on quite a bit. She's started pouncing on her siblings while they sleep as its the only time she has the upper hand. Fiona is very smart and is the puppy most likely to follow you around the yard. She's also quite fond of playing in the water bowl.
