The following page contains the K litter evaluations. The commentary is a compilation of the official health evaluations and my personal evaluations. Each puppy is unique and develops at its own pace. The stack photos were take at the end of week eight. They include a full body side photo and a portrait photo. The third photograph is one that I consider a "favorite" photo for the puppy and may have been taken at anytime during their eight week stay with us. These are the very last photos taken before the puppies leave for their homes.
