Jade & Odi's litter came early

[nds_xo]

hey mike, do you have instagram? i found a user who has a black BB.. or says.. his username is @southafricanmastiff .. what do you think? xx

 

[DMikeM]

No instagram for me yet.

I have video uploading to You Tube right now and will post in the other thread. But here are some updated pics and announcing a name change.

Mr. Haze is no longer Haze he will be known as Khan from here on. He has become a Tyrant and dominant little runt. He barks and growls at everyone including Odi whom he sent flying back from one of his tirades. Poor Odi did not know what to do.

BobMarley Just trying to relax.

Khan moving in to attack

Ryder sleepy head

Lucky starting to color up.

Crusher or Skywalker, They have some odd patterns on them.

See those dark spots on Skywalkers back? And Crusher has a dark mantle over his coat.

Khan on the attack biting Ryder.

See how big now. Jade is 125 Lbs. The pups from 6.5 to 8.75 Lbs.

Ryder is very mellow and loves to just sniff or lick the hand.

That's all for now.

Sweet little Ryder, such a love bug. What about Ms. Katniss and her shenanigans?

 

[DMikeM]

KitKat has gone mellow. I think she got put in her place or she just evened out.

They are beautiful!

wow theyve grown,beautiful pups

 

[musicdeb]

Gorgeous, gorgeous pups! Love Mr. Khan!

 

[DMikeM]

Khan has gone on a warpath I am afraid he is not right in the head and maybe just too aggressive. I have never seen this in a puppy before. I hope Jade steps in and gives him a correction.

 

[musicdeb]

I still love Khan even he's not right in the head. hehehehehe

 

[TricAP]

How do you get anything done? I'd be spending the entire day watching their antics. They keep getting more adorable each time you post pictures.

If it's any consolation Mike, our two females are the best of friends. And they were brought together late in life (3 and 4 years old). You can't separate them and they are always laying together and loving on each other

Can you explain what you mean with on a warpath and "too much aggression" in puppies. I have seen some pretty nasty puppies and their behaviours just need to be tempered correctly, if mom isn't correct then you need to be.

 

[DMikeM]

He was really being a terror growling barking and attacking the other litter-mates and even resource guarding the mush. But after just 2 days of gentle handling and some minor correction he has mellowed out to an acceptable level. I am still watching him and when I hear spats I go and check to see what is going on and separate the fighters if needed. Jade has very little interest in this activity. I have seen her look over her shoulder at the whelping room and actually go look a couple times and they do stop but I don't see her actually do anything. Maybe she growls or maybe it is just her being there and making a face. But Khan is getting better, I was afraid he was mental and might have to be PTS if he continued his aggression.

Thanks for asking and the heads up.

Just read through the whole story of your beautiful litter, what a roller coaster!
They are beyond beautiful and the mum too, and she looks so well especially considering what she has been through.
The little growly fellow may just need to go to a home where they are looking for something less cuddly and more of a guard dog. You know your litter so well that I am sure you will be able to place them to their best advantage, the mark of a truly excellent breeder.

 

[DMikeM]

Thanks, yes it was quiet the ride.

Little Khan is improving every day. He really seems to like attention and watches me very closely when I am around the whelping room or pen. Sometimes he will cry or bark at me and you can see he wants a pick up. I know I am not supposed to give in when they do that but sometimes I do or I will just give him a good petting and scratch on the neck and he will settle down. He seems like he might be the smartest pup in the litter too. Time will tell.

 

[Jaquie & Starbuck]

Those babies are so so sweet. I love following your posts

 

[Colorado1234]

What a beautiful litter of pups. They all look so healthy and adorable, congrats!

 

[DMikeM]

Hope to have time to post updated pics and video today.

 

[QY10]

Love seeing the updates on the pups. They just get more and more precious. I love that their personalities are really starting to shine through.

 

[DMikeM]

Some pics I don't think I have shared here yet.
This is Khan the terrible!

He does not have much of a mask.

Here is Crusher (OhCee or O.C.)
He has the best markings on him

And he does not put up with any crap from his daddy.

Here is Rasta Bob (R.B.)
What a character, he has some good marks too.

Bleh!

This would be Lucky the love bug.

Try not to fall for this guy.

Having some convo with mommy.

Here is Ryder.
I think that's R.B. but it could be Skywalker with him.

Somehow they always find a bone.

Here is Skywalker.
As you can see this boy is fearless.

Doesn't even look like a puppy in this pic.

I'll get some more pics later. They are on FB and sometimes they don't share well here. So I will transfer them to G+ then share them.
