almost 24 hours old

yeah, I got to look over the puppies!

Momma does not like to be away from them for very long, sorry no individual pictures yet.  Put her outside with Hilde, Fifi and Pippa and she was smiling ear to ear, she was so happy to be outside and play.  Brought her in and she's all upset I moved her puppies (I didn't move them this time, I promise!)

their color-coded ribbons arn't on them yet, picture was taken about noon.  Cleaned the room, changed them into the whelping box, they are now officially on towels.  La Roux is much happier, she didn't like the hard blue pool and she got a bath.  The two darkest puppies are the girls. The lightest is Harkin, the square little boy (perfect by the way) is Hunter he's facing this way.  One in front is Harley.  I can still tell them apart, whoo-hoo, but that will change quick.  They rub up on each other and twist and turn constantly.  Took a video last night and it won't copy over ... will have to have Jim's help I guess.

little info about the puppies now that I got to look them over 

Harkin

weighs 14oz today

white collar for now, he will be so handsome in black later

He looks like a baby bear, chews on his hand, sucks my finger, sweet guy.  His eyes are glued shut but I swear he looked right at me (that's his father).  The largest puppy at birth is not always the largest puppy grown.  For now Harkin is the lighter colored cuddle guy, his brother Harley has caught up to him in size.

La Roux weighed 15oz, she's 20# 17.5" at the withers

Hattie

weighs 13oz today

She's the pretty in pink girl.

Hattie has calluses in her hair, it's the cutest thing.  She's fairly calm, had something to say about being looked over and turned upside down, then calmed down, I guess you could say with a cuddle.  My favorite name with this litter (but I like them all) and she's a lovely little girl.

Hannah

weighed 12oz (I think, she was a wiggle worm)

also has these cute little hair calluses, so cute.

Hattie is her momma's daughter, she's fiesty and she's sweet.  Fiesty meaning she has something to say and doesn't hold back.  Sweet as in melt in your arms sweet like her momma.  La Roux has a wonderful personality, kids do not intimidate her but she takes the punishment.  La Roux is on the adventurous side and is lightweight and fast, I think Hannah will be just like her.  We adore La Roux, she's Jim's baby, he picked her up at the airport and she's been on his lap ever since.  She adores Jim, whatever Jim says ... blah, blah, blah (LOL).

Hunter

weighs 12oz today

surprise!  Hunter has a green collar

He got the right name.  He's wiggling all over the place, I move my hand and he follows it -- blind as a mouse you know.  He moved with me with scent just like his father does.  Hunter wasn't very calm today, but his daddy is very layed back and calm but motivated to run and play.  He's got his father's body, I expect him to be Viktor's size, shape, color and personality.  He's a clone!

please note, puppies at this age are survivors, they arn't looking to cuddle, that comes later as they get older.  For now mother nature motivates them to only be happy and comfortable with their mother ... hence why we neurally stimulate them.  I did put them on their backs, moved their legs, looked under their chins, hugged and kissed them.  They get hugged and kisses from now on, if they like it or not.  As of today, they are getting use to people.

Harley

14oz today

Harley is the manly-man and gets the blue collar

There's something about this boy I really like.  He's not as calm as Harkin, he's not small like Hunter, he's just ... a cool kind of guy.  He's La Roux' color.  Every litter there's one puppy that captures my heart right away, it's Harley this litter.  I really like him ... he's like warm porrage.  Harley also has the collases in his hair, it's so cute.  Don't know if it will stay like that.

fyi, my fav's are usually one of the boys

I think a neutered male is the best pet for anyone, just my thoughts.
