Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mary. I'm one of those types that, no matter how much I 'know', I'm always apprehensive until I've actually done it. I do feel much better prepared than in the past so it's time to jump in (plus I'm running out of excuses LOL).
Let me ease your apprehension. I trained for a year and half, under the excellent training of my breeder's then handler. Even with all that training I was scared. It will feel very ackward in the beginning and take about 6 months before it all comes together like 2nd nature.

I'm still learning and still make mistakes. And I still at times walk out of the ring with my mentor sitting ringside will still critique me.....

Let me add, some of the most experienced exhibitors get pre-ring jitters. That's why you always have mints to pop in your mouth....your dog can smell your nerves.

When I thought about showing earlier, I had a real sense of dread, probably due to lack of preparation. This time it feels kind of exciting......now if I can just get Junior excited about the prospect :rolleyes:......

Love the name.

What a beautiful little boy!! I love that head!! I wish you much success and I hope Jr makes all your dreams come true!

I can't wait for puppies again someday :)

I don't know why I started calling him that but it seems to have stuck. I say,"here, Juuun-yah" and he comes a-running :p.

Thanks, Donna. Right now, he's my hopeful, with the emphasis on 'hope'. In any case, he's a darling little boy and I couldn't be happier with him.

I was going to wait until his ears were up for any new pics, but looks like I'll owe you some maybe before then. I did do another trim on them and they're rising, but not yet up. If they're not up by this weekend, I'll trim them further back.

I know this is something that is hard to do, not difficult, but emotional; trim all the way down on both sides. It should bring them up right away, but if it doesn't and least the ears are devoid, just in case you have to tape them. Oh! I've found mole skin a bit gentler on the ear.

Look @ his ears !!!

Junior is now 4 1/2 weeks old and is doing very well. He's starting to 'motor-vate' around and is beginning to eat a little on his own. I weighed him today and he's 17 ounces. He and I are becoming best buds already.....he loves to play and gives the sweetest puppy kisses. I don't want to spoil him 'too' much, but this little one is just irresistible.

Here's a few pics taken today.....
How cute! Look at his ears !! there going up already wow !!!

Absolute sweetness!

I'm behind on getting any pics, but here's one taken today. It's the only one that turned out decently. My camera doesn't do so well indoors unless the subject is still and that's hard to do with Junior.

Junior is now 8 1/2 weeks old and weighs 1 pound, 11 ounces. He's doing really well, eating good and wanting to play all the time. I've introduced him to a couple of my girls and he's excited to see them, but he comes back to my lap pretty quick, using it as home plate LOL. Darla still spends most of her time with him. He still nurses but is eating more than nursing.

As you can see from the pic, his color is breaking on his face and head. His back hasn't started breaking yet. He's still a squatty little boy, measuring 6 inches at the shoulder and 7 inches from base of neck to base of tail. Both ears are up when he alerts to something, but the left ear still tips a little most of the time.

I'll try to get some better pics of him soon. I may just take him outside as my camera does better with natural light.

I'm still so in love with this young man's head. Have you begun hard stacking him yet on the grooming table? Time to start playing show dog with him....just getting him use to your hands to put him in certain positions.

From the looks of him he's going to have a wonderful rich tri colored tan.
You don't want him to break on his back too young.....I prefer about 9 months of age.

Squatty? I don't think so 6 inches at 81/2 weeks of age.....nice size.....still looks leggy to me.


He's just beautiful Jim....

Furbaby Friend 01-05-2011 06:58 PM
I must say I'm not experienced at all, but I HAVE looked at a LOT of puppy pictures... and I must say... your little junior is THE most gorgeous pup I've ever seen...

He just LOOKS perfect. If that makes any sense at all? He grabs my attention and makes my jaw just drop. Instead of going, "Awwww cute puppy." I'm like, "Wow, that pup is amazing."

You'll be a wonderful daddy and you deserve the little guy. You've earned him tenfold karma wise by just helping out here! :thumbup:

Forgot to add....now you are going to join the ranks of crazy people with your wee show hopeful. Waiting for those lil testes to drop....checking the bite, watching the topline, watching movement.......you're going to be a crazy man.......

Woogie Man 01-05-2011 07:20 PM
That's so sweet of you to say that, Furbaby Friend. I'm blushing now :blush08:.

Mary, when I said 'squatty', I mean he's still showing a nice short loin and it gives him a little bit of a squatty appearance. He certainly has plenty of leg...I hope not too much. And I love his gold, too.

I have tried working with him just a little. He's such a squirmbucket. It's hard to just comb him and do a little trimming. He's even less cooperative with stacking. I think he needs more of an outlet for his energy and then he would settle down a little more. Though he's not vaccinated, I trust my yard and may start taking him out for a little spurt.

Up til now, I've just been wanting to get that bond with him. That has been a resounding success. Now it is time to put that trust to work and start getting him to cooperate a little.

Mary, at what age should I try putting him on a lead? Is now too soon?

I'm no stranger to crazy, but this may make me certifiable :D. I'm watching like a hawk, but trying to keep in mind that there's so many changes still to come. For instance, his ears have grown, maybe more than I'd like, but he has every chance to fit into them. It's a wait and see.

One thing I like is that he's showing decent size. I was afraid he'd wind up like his sire...too small. It's a long shot, but if the right combination happened, there's a good chance he'll become a fine dog. Considering my initial reluctance to use Nemo as the sire, I'm really happy so far. Just wish there was another pup to see how consistent this pairing can produce.

Ah, well, we play the hand we're dealt sometimes......

I start introducing them to a lead, at about 10 weeks. But, only putting it around their neck while on the grooming table. I begin real lead training at about 16 weeks of age.....but, at a fun level....letting them lead me around......within a few days we begin to work with a squeeky toy or bait to get them to follow me.....Just keep it fun. Oh! when you begin the bait training, only do it with the lead on.......it's more getting them use to the feel of it first. Oh! do a lot of clicker training too.

Not sure if you to your own vaccinations, but if your vet does them....Make sure that he isn't put on a table to vaccinate him. You want him to have no negative experiences on a table.

Thanks for the tips on lead training. I don't want to miss any windows of opportunity in bringing him along.

I do my own vacs so he shouldn't be at my vet's until after his last one when he gets his first blood test.

A couple more pics....

The legs are exaggerated in the last pic. He's really not *that* leggy :p.

Junior looks like a happy pup! I too especially like his face. They change so fast at this time.
Does he like squeaky toys?

BonBon 01-06-2011 05:26 AM
He really is a gorgeous boy. I can't wait to follow his career! :)

He is a happy boy. All is good in Junior's world.

I don't have any squeaky toys for him. He does like the chew toys, though.

He is gorgeous Jim. Cant wait to see you in the Ring...He looks like a winner.:thumbup:

Jim is he gorgeous, and I do hope he gets you into the ring..I must watch for updates on the two of you...:)

lisaly 01-06-2011 06:08 PM
He's just beautiful. Jim. He has the sweetest face. Enjoy him!

Woogie Man 01-07-2011 07:56 AM
Thanks, all. I can't believe how much he's changed from the earlier pictures. I see him all the time so he doesn't seem so different until I compare with the earlier pics. Guess I need to take photos more often. He's growing up so fast.

I am really having fun with him now. He's still a baby but is getting more puppy-like every day. He sleeps less and plays more and is becoming a typical boy. I still haven't heard him make a noise yet, but I'm sure he'll find his voice soon. I suppose I should appreciate the quiet for now...:rolleyes:
