Indi is certainly his father's boy... he has Apollo's sweet goofiness! He also seems to have his size... this pic was 12 weeks, but he's 41lbs now at 14 weeks old. Where did my puppy go??? One picture, Joanne? And how about some stories? (His ears are looking great, by the way. Can't wait to see how this handsome boy grows into them. LOL.)

He's such a dork... loves to jump all over Reyna, gives lots of kisses, and has the most GIGANTIC paws!! His paws are bigger than Reyna's. To me, he looks just like Apollo and seems to have the same temperament... just super relaxed and sweet. He's smart and watches everything around him and isn't a really high energy, high drive puppy, but when he wants to turn it on he's hilarious! He also seems to have inherited Gramma Juno's bionic tail! His new nickname is Baby Huey LOL.

As mentioned on the facebook page, the females will be coming into heat shortly. Our girl was approx. 10-10 1/2 months old. The "thong" panties were awesome to use, stayed close to her body, and she couldn't rip them off...she easily got hold of the "granny style" panties and didn't like those. We were able to find the thongs in Ren's.

Thread copied from facebook and hopefully continued here...
Korina; Hey U-litter!! (esp. U-litter females) I would love to see how my girl compares... physical traits (height, weight, general look) + character traits (does she like other dogs and people? in what ways is she mischievous? what are her favourite activities? favourite toys? etc.)
Also - I'm specifically thinking that its time to prepare for 1st heat (we're coming up to 8 months!!) and wondering if we can all report on signs of a heat... I want to make sure I am super-vigilant about this because we go to the park every day. Once it starts, our activity will be limited to on-leash walks and some play in the backyard.
Monica Peterson (Jade), Elisa Porfilio & Joel Pereira (Onyx), Jessica VK (Lux), Joanne Lusted (Indi) + not sure who Ryder's mom is (Ryder is the name of the 5th girl right?)
Korina; Kava is about 24 1/2 inches tall and weighs about 56 or 57 lbs. She is ALL leg and very lean. She runs around in the park for 45-60min at least once a day, plus then another 30-45 min of on-leash walking and perhaps another 30min of more running. She LOVES to run, play fetch, chase other dogs, be chased by dogs. She is very very athletic and bouncy. As for mischief, she tries to steal food from the counter whenever possible... otherwise not extremely destructive (although she has chewed a few books). At home she likes going back & forth between the house & yard (and prefers that the door is open so she can keep an eye on me!!). In the yard, she will guard-bark when people walk by the property and she loves to chase squirrels away too.
Jessica VK;
Hey Korina!!!! Lux is now, as of yesterday 56lbs.... tall and lean (not sure on height). She was always the petite lady of the U litter babies.... but hitting a big growth spurt right now eating nonstop! Lux's character is strictly DIVA lol......she's unconcerned with other dogs but LOVES her 2 main males (my Novi and Joanne Lusted Indi). She's in indifferent to people.... friendly but much more keen and happy to just be spending time with Steve and I (typical Velcro dobe). Her favourite activities are playing with Novi and counter surfing lol. Her favourite toys are Novi's ears/feet and my socks, bras, and underwear lol! She loves tug of war and wrestling with blankets. She's not an affectionate girl, would much rather hog an entire love seat to herself then cuddle us on the couch. She's VERY independent, VERY feminine.... doesn't like her feet wet or dirty, hates the heat, hates the cold. Loves being groomed and having her nails done and LOVES bath time. I'm done posting her ears, I've had her posts off for weeks and they remain perfectly up and straight (she's got amazing control over her ears!). Novi has been on Lux like white on rice lately so I'm expecting a heat cycle relatively soon. She's my first female so I'm not 100% sure what to expect but I'm excited to pick up some pink zebra print thongs for her. Compared to Novi at that age she's a lot less trouble, doesn't get into anything and other then the odd house accident she's caused me no headaches. She's been a joy and has become a staple part of our family.... I'd like to say I'm as important to her as she is to me but her number one thing is definitely big brother Novi. They are inseparable and he worships her!
Korina; Also... Kava gets to say hello to at least one or two clients coming to my house every day. She loves giving kisses and getting attention. She is no longer jumping on them immediately but will sneak up and put her paws on their shoulders once they've already enthusiastically greeted her. She also loves all other dogs - she has lots of different playmates and some favourite friends as well. Yesterday at 7:50am · Like · 1
Korina Besednik yay for the great story Jess!! Can't wait to hear more from everyone else... I'll also add even a few more comments about Kava when I have a chance. Hope everyone else is interested in sharing and reading about our kids' litter mates!
Elisa; Great idea! Onyx weighs 62lbs as of last Friday (lol) and we're weighing her again tomorrow, because she's eating like a horse. Not sure on height because I don't know to where I should measure, but she's always been a bit shorter than Kava and meatier (clearly lol). Onyx is exceptionally patient - even as a newbie in our home, we could put Onyx in 2min stays at 12 weeks! She is very affectionate and rubs up on Joel and me like a cat. She likes to chew toys (or rather destroy toys) whilst lying on either Joel's or my legs (but usually Joel's - more room). Like Kava, Onyx loves to run and chase other dogs, but isn't so keen on being chased. She is really dog- and people-friendly and is doing amazingly with kids. Joel and I are a young family and we wanted to expose Onyx to kids as early as possible so she would learn how to deal with them - and her patience is definitely a blessing there lol Onyx is always up for an adventure and loves sticking her head out the car window and looking around (unless we're on the highway, when she'll switch to either licking Joel's or my ears or napping). We're still taping because one of Onyx's ears is being stubborn - but they're getting better all the time! She's a joy to have as part of our family.
Joanne; indi is a big lovable dork.... that is all! haha jk i'll post more later. love all your girls, I wish I knew more about the brothers and where they are, but big bro indi is happy having no brotherly competition for his sisters' affections.
Barbara; Well if it helps, Kazi was approx. 10 months old when her heat started.
Monica; i really wish this conversation was taken to the forum. That is why there are litter pages, for people to connect and keep in touch. Some are on the forum that aren't on here.
Joanne; Monica those people need to come to facebook lol
Monica; If I had a choice, I think I would opt out of all the facebook spyware, so maybe they're the ones with the right idea. But also, you can't have it both ways. If th FB group is to stay a closed group, the forum isn't. Soooo... just sayin.
Korina; rather than debate about Facebook, lets hear about Jade Monica Peterson!!!

And so a little about Jade. You know the ole saying "be careful what you wish for"... well lets just say that the one thing I liked about Jade is also the one thing I don't.... her independence. Mind you its selective, completely on her terms of course. when we are out, she wants to be with me every second and acts the muck if anyone takes her away from me (um, yes, even to show her for me... sorry Sheilah and Kristin...lol) At home Jade wants to wander around and investigate everything, and well, she just doesn't have the same need to have me around for that. Hence the part I don't like. Other then this, Jade is playful and coming out of the bully stage. She loves everything, everyone, and will leap a clean 6 feet in the air to show you just how much she wants to "love you" with an impact kiss... Nothing gentle about that! So I guess I wouldn't call her a lady. Haven't measured or weighed her, but my guess is about 62 pounds and 25 1/2" about now. She is definitely in a growth spurt and recently pushed up to 5-3/4 cups of food a day (plus additives). So I think she's looking a bit lean right now. Over all she is an exemplary role model for the little W-litter yellow collar puppy who is perhaps even more outgoing then she is. couldn't be happier with Jade over-all, although I just might enjoy her coming out of the naughty puppy stage soon.

I'm loving all these stories I hear so many similarities to my girls. Although not a U litter pup, Scarlet is the O litter and the half sister to your babies... As you may know I am also blessed enough to have Queen Mama Cajun in our home.... I can relate to your stories too in so many ways! Scarlet is a cuddle monster, Cajun loves cuddles but could also spend her time at the foot of the bed just as well. Scarlet loves balls and fetch, she can always be seen carrying around one of her many balls. Cajun only likes the toys if its in Scarlets mouth and she can steal it.... Cajun loves chasing Scarlet.... Scar does not so much like that so here and there you'll her a "rawr rawr rawr get lost" hahaha Cajun loves beds and sucking blankets, scarlet could care less she prefers the couch. It's kind of funny how I have mom and baby here and they are so opposite yet have moulded together so well to get along. oh one thing they have in common... their stubborn bullheaded -ness lol. take-no-crap from no one attitude. Just thought I would share some quirks that your babies may have taken from their mommy ;D ps. Jade is so gorgeous... Shes really maturing, great pic!

Indi update for those not in the FB group. Indi earned his UKC and CKC CH back to back weekends at 12 months old, as well as his CKC CGN title. He's a big goofy softie, and charms everyone with his silliness! Attachments:
