Cookie and Daps 2011 Puppies at 4 weeks

Its been 4 weeks now since the puppies was born. They grow so fast. Their more out going.

 Zeus is the laid back one who doesn't like to be disturbed in his sleep. Move him while he is sleeping or touch him. He will wake up and just growl. His coats spots are becoming lighter and more tan. Around his nose is black colored fur. He looks just like a panda bear in the face. He was the easyest to do when it came to pictures. Altho he has a issue with howling when he wants something. LoL the howling is cute but Will pose a problem to his future owner if he keeps doing it.

Cinnonbun has grown alot too. She is the biggest of all the puppies. She has lighted up to a strange tan and gold color. She also has some black. Her face is completely black. Her fur is thicker than everyone else. She really took after her father the most. She isn't out going as the rest. Her and zeus play all the time. She doesn't mind being picked up but if you do pick her up she will try to make a meal out of your hand!!

Here are pictures of cinnimon and dap together as always.

Here is penny and duchess. They love to play together. Duchess is still white and tan like her brother. Her fur isn't changing much at all. Tho her nose is turning black finnally. It was pink for the longest. She is the second most out going altho she still rather sleep. Her eyes make her so cute because they are so big. She will probley have eyes like her mother.

Penny on the other hand is becoming my favorite. She has a small body and a big head. Smallest one out of the group. She will look just like her mother exept with dark coat. Her coat is turning silver and gray. She does altho have a little tan in it. When she stares at you its like she knows what you are saying. Everytime i walk away she is their stareing at me while the others are sleep. She is the onlly pup so far to want to follow me everywhere I go. She even follows her mother. She walks alot better than the others but she isn't fat at all

They all have one thing in common altho. They have daps signature suck on tongue to look cute.

Here is their daddy doing his strange tongue sucking

Cookie and Daps puppies

Our Mating for these two was suppose to be when cookie was 2 years old. Since that is when you are suppose to breed a female. Well cookie decided she wanted it now. One day we took these two to the park. We didn't think anything of cookie being in heat as she didn't show any signs. No Bleeding, No slowing down. She was her normal self. Both her and dap took off behind a tree. Next thing I know I see them tied. When they did let go I was so happy and hoped she didn't have puppies. A few days later cookie was sleeping in her crate and dap came over and some how both of them was locked. HOW IN THE WORLD?! Don't ask me but she must have been really intent on having puppies. Whole time dap is standing their with his signature suck on tongue expression. LoL.

Few weeks later dap didn't want her any longer. Then we noticed she wanted attention all the time. Jumped in my lap. Thats rare for cookie. Before she was moms dog. Did what ever mom said. Never wanted to be still for 5 mins. Now she sets in my lap.

Few weeks later her tummy is so swollen. By that time it was a yes to puppies. Poor cookie. Wanted puppies and now she is missorable. She wasn't as bad as Some mothers looked but she looked pretty tired. She would try to follow me around. Collapes on the ground and sleep. It was just heart breaking.

At that point she became very picky. She refused to let us brush her, comb her, or even shave her for that matter. Because of that her fur became intangled and matted. It made me so mad that she wouldn't let us but what ever made her comfortable. We didn't want to stress her out.
Finnally on January 11th 2010. Cookie got up and walked to her bed. She looked very hot. Started panting and shivering. I knew it was time. It took quiet a while for her to start.

The first puppy I didn't even know was their. She pushed her out and the puppy didnt even cry. We kept wondering why isn't this puppy crying. She was wiggling. Just not crying. This pretty much was the diva of the litter. Dutchess is what her owner named her. She was sold as soon as she was born. She was a white and brown and black and tan. Vet described her as a Tri Color. I have never seen a Tri colored white puppy ever. But she wasn't the only one.

30 mins passed. I know cookie had more. She was panting and acting tired. Then bam out came a boy. This boy looked almost like duchess exept he was fatter in size, and his markings was different. His colors was just  like duchess. Funny I have never seen a Tri and white spotted shih-tzu and yet I have two. Go figure. His owner named him Zeus. And yah he acts just like one. Like his sister. He did not cry.

around 30 mins later Came another one. This One I thought was a black. I got all excited then looked closer. It was a brown and black shih-tzu. Hmm brown and black. Brindle some call it but I we knew off the block that its fur will change just like her father. Or at least we thought. Her name is Penny Named by her owner. Just like her brother and sister she was sold right when she was born.

Around 1 hour I thought she was done. Then I noticed she was having a hard time pushing. Their was a huge lump coming out. The last puppy was bigger than the rest and didn't even cry. Same colors as penny exept darker on the face and lighter on the body. This was the puppy I knew I wanted to keep. We named her cinnobun. Since her colors look like a cinnomon bun.

We are so happy that cookie had some fabulous puppies in uncommon colors. All of her puppies are going to my family members in florida. They will be in the sun and on the beach 24/7. What can a first time breeder ask for? Penny on the other hand will be with her brothers and sister also but she may be having puppies when she becomes older as well. Who knows what other puppies cookie may have. We was hopeing for livers but all of them came almost close. We now know dap has no liver genes but he does have genes for brindles.

Puppies First Taste of Merrick

Today the puppies got their first taste of merrick puppy can food in a can. I saw that mom didn't want them to have much milk so I put a bowl down and all of them dug in. Was like a little mini puppy fight. It was so cute. After they was done food was all over their faces. LOL they looked like little monsters

Even mom wanted a piece of the action
