| Kit "Kitty Hawk" |
Kit is our tri-colored girl. She was the last pup to arrive and
weighed in at .85 pounds. On day 5, she weighed 1.35
pounds. Kit has a narrow full collar & a tiny white
connecting strip from the blaze to the collar. This
connecting strip will disappear, probably before she is 8
weeks in age. She should have a narrow blaze when grown,
and the white on her front right toes may disappear
depending on what sort of ticking she ends up with in her
white. She will have the larger Shepherd Spots over the
eyes - like Rudy's. Her tan will become more noticeable as
she "tans up" over the next few weeks. She also has a full
white chest. Kit did not have rear dewclaws.

| 3 Weeks Old Kit was the first pup to respond to my calling at 15 days in age. She also has figured out how to scale the fence, but hasn't gone over it yet because I have caught her in the act & picked her up. She likes to explore, be held, play with her brothers, etc. At 22 days old, she weighed in at 3.40 pounds. |

| 4 1/2 Weeks Old Even though Kit's head shape reminds me of Holly as a pup, her demeanor reminds me of what I saw of her grandfather, Sawyer, when he was a pup. She seems to be a rather thoughtful type of pup that will observe & think about things before jumping headlong into the situation. She was the first out of the pen until I changed the height of that panel. She is a very easy to get along with pup at the current time. |

| 5 Weeks Old Kit is the more laid back one of the two girls. Right now she is a fairly quiet girl, but don't take that to mean that she can't make herself be heard or that she is not in the midst of whatever is going on. She is the most affectionate pup in the group, being very liberal with lots of licks/kisses whenever she is held and petted. She will stand up for herself whenever one of the other pups tries to push the issue of who is in charge. |

| 7-8 Weeks Old Kit continued to impress me with her ability to just roll with the flow - that quiet confidence. I especially saw this in our trip to Autumn Winds Agility Center. She was the only pup that not only went up the A-frame without any trouble, but also came down it. The up side is always easier, than the down side. Could be that she was so food motivated that she never looked past the food, but she did the whole A-frame! Kit is making her home in VA with the Old family. She will be kept intact and hopefully will be a part of the next generation of breeding English Shepherds. |
