There are no puppies available from this litter
These puppies were born in the midst of the 2020 Presidential Election so we're calling them the Presidential Puppies. All puppies in this litter will have a registered name that includes the name of a President or First Lady.

Puppies Meet Uncle Apollo!
Puppies have all spent some time interacting with their Uncle Apollo. Apollo is a six year old Friday son, a very sweet and gentle giant. He just loves puppies but we have to be very careful with his interaction with them because Apollo is blind and we can't risk having this very big boy accidentally stepping on a little puppy. |
Party Animals!
Puppies attended a dinner party for our grandson, JT, who left home last week to join the marines.

4 Week Puppy News!
The Presidential Puppies were 4 weeks old on December 3rd. They've graduated from the whelping box and now have pen with sleeping space, crates, a play area, and a potty area. Their play area will expand as they learn top use the potty area. The puppies weigh about 7 pounds; little Lincoln weighs less but he's catching up to the rest of the pack.

3 Week Puppy Update
The presidential puppies were three weeks old on November 25th. They are all up and walking now and are getting pretty steady on their feet. And, right on schedule, the puppies are planning their escape from the whelping pen.
Comfort Creatures
Swissies love their comfort and it's amazing how they'll find the most comfortable spot even at just 3 weeks of age. Puppies love piling into their little puppy bed.
Puppy Visitors
Puppies have met 32 different people so far and will meet many more people and other animals in the coming weeks.

2 Week Puppy Update
Yeah!.. Our youngest litter, the Presidential Puppies, have passed the two week threshold and are all thriving. Puppies are very vulnerable during their first two weeks of life but we can relax a bit after they're two weeks old. These puppies were two weeks old on November 5th.
Three of the boys are very close to being up and walking on all 4 paws except for Little Lincoln. He leads the pack in mastering walking and is already up and moving. |
UH -OH!.... this isn't going to work!
We've improvised using a kitchen scale for the puppies because our puppy scale is being used downstairs for the Leaf Peeper puppies. Clearly, this isn't going to work much longer. Puppies are quickly outgrowing the scale. They weigh about 3-1/2 pounds now except for little Lincoln who is about 2-1/2 pounds. He was smaller at birth but will catch up to the pack quickly when the puppies start eating puppy food.

Puppies now have their BIG DOG collars and we've had to make some color changes. Jackson is now green boy and Grant is now red boy. Trump is still blue boy and Lincoln is still brown boy.

Connect the Dots!
All of these puppies have cute little dots on their heads, but that is going to change as they grow and the white on their heads minimizes. I'm guessing that only one puppy will end up with a dot on his head. We shall see!

The Presidential Puppies Have Arrived!

The Presidential Puppies were born on November 5, 2020; 4 healthy, vigorous little boys, weighing between 13-18 ounces.
Newborn puppies must nurse every two hours round the clock. Since we also have another litter of puppies who are just one week old, we're very thankful that our youngest grandson, JT, is helping us by taking over puppy duties for 8 hours at a time so we can get some sleep. Thank God for Grandchildren!
