Age a little more than a week and weight a little more than one kilogram
Labour day went quietly beside the puppy crates, or more specifically, it went on the sofa between the puppy rooms watching TV.
Last weekend I seriously thought that can gluttony be inherited? ;) The little Indians were eating too much the whole last weekend and over eating was, of course, causing some stomach pain and then the little Indians were whining and crying. We got the situation solved by taking Thyra out from the puppy room so that the Indians wouldn’t eat continuously and now the puppies are eating normally again. But I was thinking if gluttony can be inherited as this very same has happened to our litters earlier, as a small puppy Thyra sometimes ate too much, in Thyra’s last litter there was one who used to eat too much and now we had two that were eating too much. Thyra’s mother Zogi is also very greedy as well is Thyra :)
Little Emmi-girl has protested over the weekend, probably seeking for attention, although we have tried to give both Emmi and Aatu more attention than usual. Emmi begun over the weekend, as soon as our eyes avoided, to use our bed as her toilet. So, the only option currently is to keep the bedroom door closed which, of course, is a bummer on Aatu’s behalf because he likes to sleep on our bed or underneath the bed. Emmi’s other idea is to jump on the kitchen table, which of course, is not allowed. She has also started to steal things from tables which is not so nice either. We need to figure out something that she will stop with these things.
The little Indians have now for a few days been practicing to walk but yet is very wiggly. The ears are little by little starting to “open” and you can notice that they already can hear very loud noises, like to other dog barking. Also the barbet ears are starting to open but they can’t yet hear anything or if they do, they don’t show it. The barbets are still crawling, no intentions on starting to learn how to walk.
Both litters have gained weight excellently, all barbets being more than one kilogram now and three out of four Spanish waterdogs being more than one kilogram.
The barbets weigh now:
Caffe Doppio (brown female with white asterix on chest) 1060 gr
Caffe Espresso (brown female with white paws) 1070 gr
Caffe Latte (sable) 1125 gr
The little Indians weigh now:
Brown male 1065 gr
Black male 1170 gr
Brown girl 1010 gr
Brown little girl 805 gr
I have today started the registration process at the Finnish Kennelclub and the official names of the puppies will be:
Barbets aka Coffee –girls (http://www.yourguidetoitaly.com/types-of-italian-coffee.html)
Hapiberg´s Caffe Doppio
Hapiberg’s Caffe Espresso
Hapiberg’s Caffe Latte
The Spanish waterdogs will be:
Brown male: Hapiberg’s Cherokee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherokee)
Black male: Hapiberg’s Hiawatha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiawatha)
Brown girl: Hapiberg’s Pocahontas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocahontas)
Brown little girl: Hapiberg’s Cheyenne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheyenne)
When we were breeding rottweilers we followed the alphabet but now with the waterdogs we have had different themes and we continue with that.

The latest news from the puppybox
Thyra’s puppies or the “The Indians” as we call them, are tomorrow already one week old and Thara’s or “The Coffee-puppies, are also already three days old. In ”The Indians” development can be seen every day, on Wednesday, ”The Indians” began yawn and on Thursday and we noticed that the paw starts to “whisk” when scratching the puppy on his belly. ”The Indians” are very determined, they know exactly which “milk-tap” they want and let’s everyone know if they don’t get it or if someone is pushing them, they are therefore relatively loud now;) Thyra was for a few days quite difficult due to her enormous interest in Thara’s puppies and we or the puppies had to remind Thyra to nurse and take care of her offspring. Now the situation has calmed down and is almost back to normal, the way it was before Thara got her puppies.
Thara’s puppies, or the “Coffee puppies” as we call them, are very different, quiet and and nice, just eating and sleeping and hardly ever saying anything. Thara has, since she got over her first confusion about her offspring, proven to be an excellent and calm, very good taking care mother. As she is a bigger dog with a quite active background she might get up from the puppybox and take short “walks” in the puppyroom or she might, if the puppies are sleeping, take a walk in to the livingroom but return very quickly back to her babies.
The puppies, both litters have gained weight very well, also the little “Indian” girl.
”The Indians” weight increase, since birth until yesterday:
Brown male + 290 gr
Black male + 295 gr
Brown female + 305 gr
Little “Indian”-girl + 185 gr
Coffeepuppies weight increase, since birth until yesterday:
Caffè Doppio (dark brown with white asterisk) + 115 gr
Espresso (dark brown with white paws) + 145 gr
Caffé Latte (beige) + 155 gr
