Saffy - 20/10 - 10 Weeks Old

Saffy didn't go out any where today as I had to help Claire (eldest daughter) move house. this meant the dogs were left for several hours on their own. which doesn't happen often. Saffy and Dora were shut in the kitchen with a bone each and the others in the bedroom.

When we got back Saffy had done one pee on the kitchen floor and was quite happy obviously coped well with being left.

All the dogs were very lively this evening. Did lots of playing with Saffy and she is getting better at giving up the toy and then doing a behavior and getting the toy as a reward. We are doing sits in the present position but she is still rocking backwards to sit rather than bringing her rear up to the front so I am holding a titbit in my hand in the front position and asking her to sit while touching the tit bit and she is starting to move the rear a bit more.

Gave all the dogs a good groom Saffy would much rather eat the brush than let it brush her, but I held a toy in one hand and brushed her while she was chewing on the toy. She still has a very obvious black saddle but there is hair of various shades of brown growing through down the centre of her back. All the new hair seems to be on her mid section she still has only soft puppy coat on her front legs, shoulders and neck and her back legs and haunches.
Ruby did go through a very black stage and now she is a red fawn so it will be interesting to see what colour Saffy ends up. Saffys ears seem to be getting longer again but they are still very upright and high set.
