The Pups:
MALES (#1, #3, #4, #5, #7)
Markings:
Puppy # 1
Call Name: Kaplan
Gender: Male
Colors: Tri-color
Born: 6:30 am
Birth-Weight: 1 lb, 0.9 oz
Amt of Ticking: Moderate/Heavy
Most Resembles: Father
Personality: This big guy is truly a real sweetheart, not only does he look like his daddy James, but he has the most laid back and docile personality to match. He is somewhat independent and is not afraid to venture out and seek new nooks and crannies in the Puppy Cottage, but he is usually the first to crash after playtime. During play, he will sit back and watch the others wrestle and pounce, just waiting for the right time to join the fun. He was interested when presented with the wing and readily followed it ready to pounce. He does not mind being placed on his back and will lay content cuddled in your arms. Right now he is quite the chow hound and will be the first one on top of or in the middle of the food bowl trying to get every last morsel away from his siblings. He is quite the chewer and digger during play.

Puppy # 3
Call Name: Keaton
Gender: Male
Colors: Tri-Chestnut
Born: 8:10 am
Birth-Weight: 15.8 oz
Amt of Ticking: Moderate
Most Resembles: Father
Personality: Keaton is one of my most favorite pups in this litter. Not only is he very handsome (IMO) but he has the softest and sweetest personality to go along with it. He is reactive to your voice and loves being a "lap" dog, rubbed and petted and cuddled on his back. He loves to explore and is not afraid to venture out on his own, however he does check in frequently and returns to my lap for more affection. He is very playful and energetic; he is neither a bully or the one that is picked on and is very even keeled. He is not disturbed by loud noises any longer, thanks to my frequent "percussion sessions" in the Puppy Cottage and is unphased by noises that still sometimes startle the other pups.

Puppy # 6
Markings:
Call Name: Kelso
Gender: Male
Colors: Tri-Chestnut
Born: 8:50 am
Birth-Weight: 15.5 oz
Amt of Ticking: Light/Moderate
Most Resembles: Father
Personality: Kelso is an attention seeker, he loves to play and get into things, but he frequently checks back in with me for love and affection. When I am bombarded with several puppies all seeking attention from me at once, he gets frustrated and lets out a grunt in dissatisfaction for not being the center of my attention. He loves to be near you, to be held and rubbed and cuddled. He is also very energetic and into things. He's not afraid to explore on his own and has been known to disappear into the corner behind the water heater. He was curious when presented with the wing, but was quickly distracted by something else and changed course.

Puppy # 5
Markings:
Call Name: Kenji
Gender: Male
Colors: Tri-Color
Born: 9:15 am
Birth-Weight: 15.6 oz
Amt of Ticking:
Moderate
Most Resembles: Mother
Personality: Kenji is a ball of energy and is usually found sparring with his sister Kasha. He displays alpha characteristics when sparring with her, getting all rigid with his tail held high. They tend to circle each other waiting for the other one to pounce. He is usually not caught on the bottom and is rarely pinned by any of the pups. He is full of curiosity and readily explores his surroundings away from the other pups. He is reactive to your voice and listens intently, looking quizically like he wished he could understand what you are saying to him.

Puppy # 7
Markings:
Call Name: Kinnick
Gender: Male
Colors: Tri-Chestnut
Born: 11:30 am
Birth-Weight: 14.1 oz
Amt of Ticking: Light/Moderate
Most Resembles: Mother
Personality: Kinnick is another pup which is a ball of energy. He has a happy-go-lucky personality and is into everything. His curiosity gets the best of him and he will go wherever and do whatever it takes to satisfy that urge. He is a "people" dog and loves attention and affection and to be a lap dog, however he is just as happy exploring too. He gets along well with all his siblings and is not a bully, nor is he one to be picked on as he will stand his ground. He was interested in the wing and readily stalked it wondering what it was all about.

FEMALES (#2, #6, #8)
Markings:
Puppy # 2
Call Name: Kasha
Gender: Female
Colors: Tri-color
Born: 7:00 am
Birth-Weight: 14.9 oz
Amt of Ticking: Moderate/Heavy
Most Resembles: Father
Personality: This is one little snazzy pup! She is quite the little "go getter", very agile and quick and has displayed alpha characteristics while sparring with her brother Kenji. Those two seem to go at it the most over any of the other pups. They both stand tall and rigid with their tails high until one or the other pounces. She does not like him putting her on her back and has quite the growl when he tries. She is a very curious pup and seeks out things that catch her eye. She is very reactive to human voice and responds to human interaction by coming closer, leaning into you and sticking her nose out for a quick lick on your nose. She will listen intently to your voice and then react with a head jerk or a paw on your nose and listen again. She showed her natural hunting instincts and put on a pretty point when presented with the wing.

Puppy # 6
Markings:
Call Name: Kindle
Gender: Female
Colors: Tri-Chestnut
Amt of Ticking: Moderate
Born: 10:10 am
Birth-Weight: 13.9 oz
Most Resembles: Father
Personality: Kindle is the other pup in this litter that melts my heart, especially when she looks at you with her soft little doe eyes. She has a very mild temperament and is as sweet as candy. She is a happy-go-lucky girl and everything she does, she does with a "smile" (tail wag and skip in her step). She prances when she plays and is full of energy and cuteness. She was very curious when presented with the wing and readily stalked it and paused for a quick point before approaching it softly. She is not frightened by loud or sudden noises, rather takes an interest in them seeking out the source of the noise.

Puppy # 8
Markings:
Call Name: Krystal
Gender: Female
Colors: Tri-Chestnut
Amt of Ticking: Moderate
Born: 1:27 pm
Birth-Weight: 14.7 oz
Most Resembles: Father
Personality: Krystal is quite the little character. She is full of energy and walks with a prance in her step and has a happy attitude. She loves to hear your voice and listens intently and sometimes responds with a head nod or a paw in the air. She loves to bug run in circles around you when you sit down on the floor with her, darting and dashing in zig zag patterns, spinning and twirling in circles. It's quite the hoot to watch. She gets along well with her siblings and does not appear to be an alpha personality, she is very even keeled.
