This is a very nice litter, though it still a bit too difficult to tell how or what they might become. We usually find that some traits and characteristics begin showing up immediately upon a first breath, this is certainly true with Dunkin and Fritter. Dunkin is a chunk. Fritter is a talker. Other than these two though, appearance seems the only distinguishing things to remark about. A few are more adventurous, one has a unique eating style. None of the pups have their eyes open yet. Perhaps we'll start seing eyes by the end of the week.
All are eating, many doubled in weight. Apparently some eating better than others. Other than apparent physical defects, weight is the best thing to look at this early on since eating is development into a healthy dog.
- The biggest gain was Long John (gained 14.9 ounces to 27.1 ounces), LJ is the largest so far.
-
- Dunkin is the biggest gain (13.8 ounces), who now weighs 26.3 ounces).
- Fritter is doing well gaining 12.7 ounces, she is now up to 25.9 ounces.
- Jelly has done well too. Having gained 12.4 ounces, she is now up to 25.6 ounces.
This is the line between the big ones and the small ones.
Below the line is the target group since we are trying to breed a smaller Basset Hound.
- Éclair is a cute little girl who weighs in at 22.8 ounce, she gained 11.5 ounces this week.
- Sugar is a healthy 21.9 ounces, up 10.9 ounces.
- Sprinkles is a tiny little 18.5 ounces, but up a respectable 10.9 ounces.
- Bismarck is by far the smallest at a mere 17.1 ounces. He is still doing well having gained 10.5.
