Tomorrow this crew will be 3 weeks old and if you watch the videos, they are already playing.
They now are out of their whelping box right next to the Sage crew. This is the area where the older crew was and we simply placed up a wall so they can have their own area but get conditioned to each other. We do this for a reason. They are 1 week younger but they will soon be playing catch-up with the older crew. This stage is look and hey you look interesting stage. Next is the wall comes down. We watch and make sure no one is over powering another and it either goes back up for a few more days or stays down. We will see which way it goes when we get to that stage.
Spirit is staying with them more than Sage is as this is new for her pups and she is aware of that. So she spreads them with protection and little by little she was let then spread their wings.
I must say both moms like having more room.
Now to figure out how to get Sage to stop stealing Spirit's food.
The pups are growing up!
