Today, at 6 weeks, the Meg x Max litter of five (3M / 2F) born on 1-July, had their first vaccinations: Nobivac^® Canine 1-DAPPvL2+Cv 8. The first vax was an absolute breeze with this litter, not even a flinch. In 2 weeks they get their microchips …a little more pinch to those. Happily, the Secretary of HHS is not depriving dogs of their right to vaccinations …only people.

At 5 weeks puppies really start to become fun. The pups in this litter have super temperaments. Herding ability will typically start to show on or after week 10, sometimes even earlier. At 6 weeks, I can see that fiery little Sigi has got the herding stuff: temperament and instinct. She’s a pistol!
