New Puppy Pictures!!!

[NicoleLJ]

We took the new stacked photos last night. The pups are now 5 weeks old starting today and weigh between 6-8 pounds. Didn't do weights last night because it was our 5yr wedding anniversary yesterday and just were lazy.

We let them all run around and wrestle for a while first so they would be tire and hopefully easier to stack. So here are the pictures.

Dark Blue was first. This time he stood much better for us. Still not great(what 5 week old puppy is) but still pretty good.





Next is Green. Agian this week he had one of the best stacks. He seems to really like this and is very easy to work with.





Next is Light Blue. He is my favorite this week. I love not only his postition but also his size, head shape and so on. He actually was very easy to work with last night as well.





Next is Red. Red also tried really hard. And did pretty good.





Rainbow. Was having nothing of it. Kept trying to flop to teh side to go back to sleep. Which is what he and yellow were doing before the pictures. He is agian sitting on my hand this week for his photo.

Mellow Yellow. Was also asleep but tried a little. He just wanted to sit down.





Well there is the new stacked and sitting photos to compare to last weeks. As you can see they are all growing by leaps and bounds. And are all very active pups. I can't believe it has been 5 weeks already and for some I only have 3 or 4 weeks left with them. Sad thought really. But their new families are very excited and can't wait to meet them.

They are so adorable, Nicole.

You will have much better results trying to stack them if you put them on a non slip surface like a rubber backed rug or bathmat.

That will stop all the clenching and tensing of them trying not to slip on that slick table surface, and it will make the whole thing much easier.

Plus, if I were stacking them just to look at structure like you are at this age, I would not worry with a foot forward in the classic GSD pose. It will be much easier to get them to stand free with both rear feet stacked together.

You can only get a real picture of the pup if you can get your hands off of them. Lots easier said than done at 5 weeks I know.

They are just lovely, best of luck with them.

No offense intended but, what is the purpose of doing this formal posing
at such a early age?

All the babies are so cute.

[NicoleLJ]

Thanks all.

RedyreRotties - Thanks for teh surface tips. I will definately try that next week when we do the stacked photos.

As for structure I do get a much better idea just watching them and seeing how they stand and move freely on their own. Stacking them this way is just more for fun for me and the adopters and so they can see how they are growing and so on. Agian thanks for the tips.

lizbud - For fun. That is all. There is no real reason to do it other then that really and for teh adopters to see how they are growing from week to week. They compare the previous pics with the new ones.
