Weimaraner Addict

Been busy this morning, 160 nailes to clip and the puppies got their first worming....it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be I also modified the whelping box so it now incorporates a kennel - we are on to some informal training!

Here is a pic of the whole gang - 3 weeks
Note runt boy on the left....first to have eyes open, most talkative, walking and now teeth are emerging...his siblings are catching up! This picture is "scratch-n-sniff" so give your screen a little scratch and you will instantly get a whiff of puppy breath

Little Runt boy is so adorable!! I'm so jealous of you and all those puppies The thought of puppy breath gives me the puppy fever lol

I really wish it was a scratch and sniff/snuggle screen... they are too adorable. I'm glad all are developing well.

Must. Have. Runt. Boy.

Oh my goodness, what an adorable pile of pups. I sure wish it was scratch and sniff. Thanks for sharing....keep the pictures coming. I think we are all getting our puppy "fix!"

Aww...big pile 'o puppies! Too cute.

I'm not a breeder, however it makes sense to me that you should try and distinguish the puppies somehow - coloured collars, string, coloured beads, or painting their nails.

They're going really start developing quickly and changing and coming into their little personalities. By keeping them separated you'll be able to remember which one is the feisty one, which one is the lazy one etc...might help you make informed choices when chosing the right puppies for your prospective owners.

Just a thought!

Best of luck with the next 5 weeks!

That is a lot of nails to trim, wow....

Very cute pile of puppies though!

Awwwww The puppies are sooooooooo cute!!! Poor mom having to take care of them all and give birth to so many.

Oh I bet poor mama is pretty happy about now.
I wish I could have Runt Boy. I've never had a puppy!
What a blessing you have in your home.
Thank you for the lovely photos.

I was thinking to myself this morning that I may have to keep runt boy for myself....but I haven't told my husband yet - shhhh! He has such a personality, I can't get over it - he eagerly seeks people out when he is on the floor and then rubs on them with his head, is he a Weim or what?

I showed my husband your picture and he said "I have to have every one of those!"

How adorable. I bet you just can't leave them alone. I would constanly have at least one in each hand at all times. All I can say is PUPPIES, PUPPIES, PUPPIES, PUPPIES, PUPPIES, PUPPIES...

I think that little Pooper (aka runt-boy) wants to come live with Ozzie. They are quite the handsome lot!

I sent you a PM with some questions.

their pure cuteness terrifies me and makes my heart yearn at the same time.. sounds like true love..

This is VERY good advice. As a breeder it's your job to be able to know each puppy well enough that you can match every puppy to the best possible home. Most of us use different colored yarn, although you can also put a dot of different colored nail polish on the different pups or whatever other creative idea you have. We use small "people" nail clippers to cut puppy nails and have had good luck with that.
