Well we're a little behind since the pups are exactly one week old today, but we'll try to keep only a couple days off! Here are photos of the pups from three to five days of age. :)
On Day 3 the pups started their early neurological stimulation exercises, also called the "super dog" program. You can read about it here:
Early Neurological Stimulation with Puppies
The short version is that doing five simple exercises per day from day 3 to 14 of life impacts your pup significantly. The benefits of stimulation listed are:
"1. Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate)
2. Stronger heart beats,
3. Stronger adrenal glands,
4. More tolerance to stress, and
5. Greater resistance to disease.
In tests of learning, stimulated pups were found to be more active and were more exploratory than their non- stimulated littermates over which they were dominant in competitive situations."
We encourage you to read the complete PDF--it's fascinating stuff! But we know you're really here for some puppy eye candy... ;) So here you go!

Bess the Beauty and her cute little white chevron on her chest--can you see it? :)
Big boy Blaze! I can't help but wonder if he will look like his daddy Piston when he gets older?
Boomer! Who for some reason I didn't get many shots of except for with Brownie. The boys were hangin' out a lot this week. :)
Brownie! And a shot with brother Boomer. :)
So many colors! Hope you enjoyed the update, everyone!!
