Puppies at 7 weeks!

Not only was it Father's Day and the puppies 7-week birthday, today was a beautiful, sunny June day. So the puppies got to play outside most of the day while we were working in the yard. Ed took a video tape of the puppies running all around the pen.



But of course after playtime, the best thing puppies do is sleep. And I have to be honest, the easiest way to photograph puppies at this age is when they are sleeping!


I also temperament tested each puppy so I'd have a general idea of their reactions. I wasn't all that surprised by one outcome tests versus my observations of them the past few weeks. Who knows how accurate temperament tests are - especially with shibas. But it's fun to do and see how they react. So here's the rundown of the puppies:

Trixie
Trixie is independent but will make a loyal pet once she learns to work with her humans.


Dos - now Kenji
He accepts humans easily and will make a good pet. He will adapt to new situations well.


Tres - Jared calls him "Lost Boy" because he doesn't have a home yet
Lost Boy is extremely independent. Although he likes people, he would rather be off exploring on his own than being held.


Tank - Now Kona
He accepts humans easily and will make a good pet. He will adapt to new situations well.


And here's some puppy playtime:
