Pacifica Puppies at 5 weeks

[ajford]

Its that time again! I can't believe how quickly these last 5 weeks have gone. I got all the colored kids on the blocks this week and I think the stacked pictures are better, not great but better. Anyway, if you'd like to see them, they can be found at

www.pacificaboxers.com on the puppy page. Clicking on the pictures will bring up a larger picture for more details.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL babies!

Amber, a question for you: since I know very, very little about showing, (trying to get as educated as possible but not actually able to get involved myself at this point) I am wondering how you choose your best show prospects from a litter of flashy pups. Just wondering about your opinion on that, for selfish reasons...we are on a "pet" puppy waiting list for a litter where ALL the color puppies are flashy and well marked, and the breeder is currently referring to all of them as "going to show homes." Of course they are only a couple of weeks old right now, and I understand that in depth evaluation may take place around 8 weeks.

Any thoughts on this would be welcome!

Great pups. I have to say that flashy brindle girl #2 is my favorite. I love the white collar.

As far as show puppies go...

I have only owned 2 show dogs to date and this is my first litter. I can't claim to have the experience that alot of others have in deciding show quality v. companion quality. Granted, the first thing you see is color and marking, but that is only the "top coat" to me. I, personally, will be taking my colored puppies to be evaluated before I declare any to be show prospects or not. I don't think it is fair to potential owners of either to make too early an assessment.

I have been telling people that I can put them on a "waiting list", once I have verified that they are a home I would place a puppy in, but that I won't have any answers for sure until they are evaluated. This is hard for people waiting for a puppy, and I have lost a few potential owners, but I think this is what is best for the puppy. Plus, personalities are still coming out and it would be unfair to place a quiet puppy with someone looking for an outgoing puppy or vice versa.

Wow they are so adorable. The white boy reminds me of mine, he also has a spot like that by his eye. SO cute.
