He still enjoys playtimes with his mum although all mum wants is to steal his food!
Yet to be named he weighed in at 166gms.
He is a strong little fellow. Mum and puppy are both doing well.
7th Dec. Puppy is feeding well and gaining weight He is very lively, chasing mum around the whelping box.
Please come back for updates. See below.
Such a cute little dog. 2nd vacs next week and then out into the wide world!
A really active little boy who likes to snuggle up to his mum all the time!
He does not mind being picked up as long as he has just had a nice big feed!
His nose is just beginning to change colour.
Day 8. Puppy is moving around a lot and rolls right over now. His ears are changing and the nose continues to gradually turn black.
He appears to be all white except for the head marking. I guess he is going to be a sable and white.
Day 10. Puppy has opened his eyes.
Day 12. Hello to Smartie. Smartie is growing nicely, has more than doubled his birth weight, and has become quite vocal, especially if his mum takes no notice of him!

Rhythm and Dance with Henrix
Smartie enjoys being carried outside. He will have to walk next week!
14th Feb. 2nd vacs all done. Now the fun starts!
Smartie is officially Henrix Dancing Snowflake.
Day 17. Smartie has decided he wants Pennys food! Time to think about weaning soon.
Day 18. What a mover! Shame he always wants to sleep when I take his photo. Penny is not happy when Smartie moves in on her food bowl. She does not realise he cannot get into the dish!
He has very nice markings, although I'm not sure what colour he will be as an adult. I hope he will be a sable and white.
29th December. Smartie is walking quite well now and is perfecting his cornering! Good practise for the show ring!
What a thick coat he has. He enjoys his puppy porridge and loves chicken or turkey.
Unlike Poppy Smartie hates scrambled egg.
New years day 2008 and Smartie tucked into a meal of Puppy porridge and fillet steak! Yummy!
One month old tomorrow and Smartie is enjoying being out able to watch the other paps. He is playing with toys and wants to join the others!
Smartie is having short play times with the other paps, one at a time. He is much smaller than Poppy at the same age.
Smartie can move so fast now. He dashes around the room and the others just want to join him! He went outside for a walk yesterday with me carrying him. Looking forward to some nice weather so we can get out in the garden.
Vaccination time at the end of January, how time flies.
21st Jan. Smartie had his first bath today. He did not enjoy it.
He enjoys playtimes with the other paps, especially with Penny, his mum!
We have started lead and table training - you are never too young to learn!
Smartie will be having his vaccinations on 31st January.
14th March 2008 - Smartie is out with the others part of the day. He has so much energy and is full of mischief!
He really enjoys playing with Poppy although Poppy doesn't always want to play.
What a cute little dog! Such a character and full of life. Always on the move. He enjoys his daily walk. Smartie is so inquisitive just like Henry as a puppy. Henrys' grandfather is also Smarties' father so I guess they have some genes in common.
Smartie has remained totally white except for his head markings. His face marks are symmetrical with a nice fine muzzle.
9th April - Somehow I dropped the lead while walking Smartie and he headed off down the road at full speed! Luckily I managed to run after him and get my foot on the lead. Phew! Our road is very quiet with little traffic but I will be keeping a tight hold on the lead from now.
His first show may be in early June if he is ready.
