Well, lets see... They are increasing in size between 2 to 3 times each week, and look pretty much like they did at 9 days old, but much bigger. The male is growing the fastest. He was about the same size as the smaller female when born, and now he is definitely the largest. The 2 females are staying about the same proportionally to each other. Now that they are into their 3rd week, their eyes are open, they bark and growl a bit (especially the little female), and spend a fair amount of time standing on wobbley feet. I didn't dock their tails in sighthound tradition, and right now they look like they will have tails and tail carriage like a pointer. I've been told that they won't start looking like a running dog until about 3 mos. They look like a trio of fat undocked Rottweiler pups right now. The areas that are tan on an Airedale are growing, but are brindled like the dam. The larger female looks all black, but where you would see the tan on an Airedale, there is a slight brindle if you look. The male when awake is eating, or crying to mom to be fed. The larger female spends some time looking around, checking things out, and playing when not eating. The smaller female definately has the most "terrier" attitude, and if not eating growls, barks, and attacks! Sheba and the male pup ignore those attacks, but the larger female likes to wrestle around with her, if there isn't anything more interesting to do!  I have a radio playing next to them on PBS for the variety of sounds, music, and voices. You don't think they will go liberal on me do you? ;D |
