Dixie

Four Weeks

Two weeks old

Dixie is a gorgeous little tricolor with her front stocking feet and her little blaze on her face.  She is still the largest pup in the litter.

Three weeks old

Dixie still is the largest pup in the litter, weighing in at 5 pounds.  She also "wins" the prize for the cutest pictures this week!  Dixie is another one of my "quiet" pups.  Except for the blaze, she looks very similar to her brother, Duncan.  There have been several times when I have confused the two, just looking at their faces.  They both have that "old soul" look to their eyes.

Five Weeks

Dixie continues to test where she is within the litter.  This whole litter seems to be very affectionate and fairly accepting of me and the big dogs as being alphas.  Dixie seems to be one of those pups within the middle of the pack.  She is becoming more inquisitive about the yard and is willing to seek out new experiences without any trouble.

Six Weeks

Dixie is barely holding onto the lead in the weight department.  She and Duncan hang around together a lot while investigating or playing.   Where you see one, you will probably see the other.  Dixie is a little more outspoken than Duncan, but in general seems to have the same acceptance of life in general, that Duncan has.

Seven Weeks

Dixie is continuing to grow into a beautiful girl.   She has become more adventurous - willing to experience new things without her littermates right by her side.  You can see her (to the right) interacting with the ducks during her herding instinct test this week.

Eight Weeks

Dixie will be with us for a little over a week before she goes to her new home in VA.  The Havens & their young son will be her companions.    She continues to be one of the bigger pups in the litter & can be a real sweetheart of a pup.
