Coton de Tulear Boys and Girls at 4 weeks

Here they are at 4 weeks of age. The boys are 3 days older than the girls and it's starting to show it. The boys are just a little more "into" the world than the girls and are awake a little longer.

Everyone is getting out in the house with everyone for a while every day.

So far Peter seems to have the best coat and has a pretty playful personality. Patrick is a clown, he hops around trying to run but he ends up looking like a Mexican jumping bean. Daffodil has the most gorgeous head and has a good coat as well. Little Tulip loves to lunge at the toys and is the sweetest thing. Robin is the adventurer, she is always roaming around checking everything out.

Enjoy.

Coton de Tulear Play Pen

I finally set up a pen for all the puppies and the two mamas. Boys in the left corner, girls in the right. I originally had a divider to separate the two mamas. That didn't work because Sierra could figure out how to get around and/or over the divider so I took it away for everyone to be together.

But then Sierra decided all the puppies were hers which left Cheyenne with out her boys.

It just didn't quite work out the way I'd planned so they're now in separate pens again. The puppies get together, without mamas, a few times a day to play and eat each others faces.

Hopefully when they're weaned the mamas will be a little more accomodating and will allow one big party.

Coton de Tulear-The First Meal

Now that the puppies are 3 weeks old it's time they begin the weaning process. Yay! Some puppies love it and begin eating right away, others turn their noses up and walk away. Peter loves the food, Patrick isn't a fan.

Coton de Tulear Boys and Girls

The boys are 18 days old and the girls are 15 days old in these photos. Although they're 3 days apart, they're all the same weights and all look very similar. They could be 1 litter.

Coton de Tulear Boys and Girls

Today I put both litters together so that the girls and the boys could all meet. Of course they proceeded to fall asleep instead of getting to know each other.

The boys are trying to walk and the girls are only thinking about it. They're beginning to interact with their mother and me and love to be held.

Life will change quite a bit for these puppies when they begin to hear and regulate their own temperature. Then the real fun begins for all of us.

Coton de Tulear Spring Litter - The Girls 2 weeks old (almost)

Although the boys are 3 days older than the girls, the girls opened their eyes on the same day as the boys. Everyone is thriving and enjoying their new toys that they now can see.

Cheyenne with her boys. She's so proud and so ready to go out and play. Peter and Patrick have their eyes open and can now see their toys and their Mama.

Coton de Tulear Spring Litter - The Girls

Sierra and Remy have welcomed 3 stunning baby girls! All have color but Daffodil has the least and has no body color. She is also the largest puppy. Sweet Robin has some wonderful markings with the special "star" on the top of her head. And Robin is a beautiful mink girl who will retain some of her color.

All puppies are thriving, and Mama's are happy and healthy!

This is the first time we've had an all male litter and an all female litter. You just never know what Mother Nature has in store for us.

Coton de Tulear Spring Litter - The Boys

The Puppies are finally here safe and sound! Spring is in the air and Cheyenne and Tanner brought us their very first litter, 2 handsome boys!

"Patrick" has color on one side of his head and has an adorable round brown spot on his back and "Peter" has color on both sides of his head with color on the butt of his tail.

These twins are just dreamy.

Harvey Duke

This is Harvey Duke at a ripe old age of 17 months. I hadn't taken any "groomed" photos of him in a year so figured maybe it's about time.

He's a wonderful happy boy. Small and straight in structure with a sweet sweet disposition. We're hoping Harvey will have his first litter with Molly sometime this summer.

Big News in Snowmass.....we're expecting puppies next month, towards the end of March!

Stay Tuned.
