Topaz puppies: 8 weeks old and ready to go!

Well, the big day has come - the pups are now 8 weekd old and ready to head to their new homes!

The temperament evaluations took place on Monday. Once again this was a very interesting experience. With Phoenix's March litter each dog reacted completely differently to the experience. This time, the differences among the puppies was more muted - there were definitely differences, but they were more subtle and not so absolutely obvious as with Phoenix's pups. I will post the results over the next couple of days.

Then on Wednesday the pups went for spay/neuter surgery. Poor little red girl was very sore and subdued all evening, and the boys were quieter too. But by yesterday they were pretty lively again, and this morning you would never guess that they had undergone surgery a mere two days ago!

This afternoon the first family comes to select their puppy. The second family will make their selection on Saturday July 5. Those are the only two pups definitely spoken for at this point. I keep getting inquiries about the others, but nothing firm yet.

And I am still in need of a Guardian for little Harmony, our beautiful black-and-white girl. Several people have expressed interest but not followed through for a variety of reasons.
