Here's Junior

[Woogie Man]

.....or at least that's what I'm calling him for now. This little man is from my Darla and Nemo. Junior had a sister that, sadly, passed after 2 days so he's being raised a singleton.

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.....

Oh my gosh, he is just darling. What a sweet face he has and a beautiful coat.

[Sammy Mommy]

What a face!! You must want to smother him with kisses!!!!

Thanks, ladies. I'm a little biased but Junior is very special to me. It's hard to resist spoiling him to death with him being the only one. I have hopes that he might be the first one I put in the ring so I'm trying to not over-indulge him. I am very happy with him so far, as much as I can tell at this early age. Now my challenge is to not spoil him too much like I did with his Mother, but for now it's a joy just bonding with him.

Junior is a adorable. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and saying prayers that this little boy fulfills your dreams. I want to see both you and Junior in the ring...The Bluebonnet Specialty - would be a great place to start....Puppy Sweeps....

Yep! Do watch that spoiling...

What an adorable little face, he gets a purple ribbon from me! Maybe you should name him Miracle?

Hey Jim....time to trim the ears.....

I love the head....the face is to die for...and he looks like he's gonna be up on leg.

Well, it's way early but Mary, thank you for prodding me to commit to showing. I only hope Junior develops as well as what I'm seeing now. He's very alert and answers to his name already (so Junior it may be). I'm closely watching his temperament and I like his physical attributes at this point. I may impose on you for a few tips as we go along, if you don't mind.

Aw, Nancy, that's so sweet of you to say . Actually, I was wondering if Darla would ever have babies, so he is a small miracle. I had her bred twice before using an outside stud but neither mating took. My Nemo was my fall back guy, and I'm hoping that it was a happy combination of genes.

I've already done a slight trim on them. It's a little rough but his ears are very small and there's not much to hold on to. It is time for a re-do, though.

What I like about him so far......good close ear set, his ears are small and are a nice 'v'....short loin and I love the gold tones.

Even though he's not yet carrying himself as well as he will, the tail set seems good from feeling along the spine, and he does have good leg. I'll have to wait a bit to see other features, but I'm constantly looking him over. I just hope that he fills out enough as his sire is small but he's got a good weight so far and I'm hoping the structure carries over from Darla's line.

Well I'm adopting him as my honorary nephew.....I think this little guy is going to be a winner.....of course you can count on me to help.....

Will look forward to updates.....

How's he's lay back/head carriage at this stage?

He's up on his feet but is still a little wobbly so I'm not focusing on his posture just yet. I figured that would have to wait until he's planting himself a little more firmly. He's not a 'slouchy' dog and does hold his head well, but he's still got that puppy wobble. Hope I'm explaining that correctly.
