Growing Puppies

A Joy to see the progress of each puppy.

Like children, each puppy has a unique personality affected by the experience he has as well as the heredity he gains from his parents.  It is amazing to me that 12 puppies all with the same parents born at about the same time can be such individuals.  One way this is shown is their approach to eating.  Some puppies are ravenous and try to consume as much as possible in the shortest time available.  Others seem to savor and enjoy their food taking their time.  As a breeder, it is my responsibility to see to it that each puppy has an opportunity to eat all their food at whatever pace best suits their nature.  Looking at the photo above, you can see each puppy has an equal amount of food in the beginning which each one is enjoying very much.  We have served them 2 meals so far in this manner and so far there has been no food left behind by any individual.  Guess this means we need to offer more food tomorrow!
