Dalmatian puppies!

[crysania4]

OMG the puppies. They are so cute. 6 weeks old and so much puppy breath! My favourite part of the afternoon was sitting on the ground with 4 puppies in my lap and eating my camera strap (it survived) while I tried to take pictures of the other puppies across the pen.

I was a bit nervous going into this because puppies are FAST and unpredictable and I was so afraid I'd have a tough time getting photos of them. 4 of the puppies had been playing NONSTOP before I got there so they were pretty tired. The other two slept before I got there and so were more active. But they all were running around for a bit before falling asleep.

So...pictures for those who didn't see them on FB!













This was my favourite! The little girl she's calling "Purple" right now (they're all named after their original collar colors).












Tunnel fight!















Great ad for that Zawies frisbee, eh?





















Here's my favourite again!

































Not quite getting the tire.



Future agility star!









And now for some stacked photos. Now I know NOTHING about what is proper so I took several photos of each dog. These were the ones I thought looked the best of each one.

"Pink":



"Yellow":



"Green":



"Red":



"Blue":



"Purple":



Back playing for a moment.



The whole litter in one big pile.



I hope Stephanie likes them (there are tons more in Flickr; I'll give her a CD with them all on it on Tuesday). I'm really happy with them.

I'm sort of annoyed though that some animal rescue site shared them like they were in need of rescue. Ugh.

I SAW THAT. I was like ".... Wha?"

You'd better send nice flowers to my funeral, because you've just killed me with cute.

I can almost smell the puppy breath from here! And I'm kind of in love with "Blue" - so spotty!!! <#

Ohhhh, tunnel puppies!

I've always kind of coveted Dalmations. I've never been around any up close, so I have no idea if they'd actually work for me or not, but ohhhh, on paper I love them so! Dalmations and Dobermans. Apparently my dream-dogs are all D breeds.

I love dalmatians, my best friend had a dalmatian named Pongo [I know right], that dog was his sidekick.

OMG. So much cute. I think I'm getting sick and this was just the pick me up I needed. Thank you.

OMG THE CUTE! IT BURNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSS!!!! :D Fantastic shots. WTF with the animal rescue site tho?!?!? They using it on FB? If so you can report them...

Oh my god, the liver one with one blue eye is adorable. I am seriously wanting a Dal now. Damnit.

They are ADORABLE! My daughters loved looking at the photos with me, and trying to count all the puppies in the basket at the end. I love the picture of the single dog on the red...cot-thing. It looks like her nose is heart-shaped because of the spot on it.

I am wondering about their temperament. I know dalmatians have/had a reputation for being snappy, semi-agressive and somewhat difficult to train. But all that was after the 101 Dalmations dalmation inbreeding/overbreeding stuff. Is that still true in general? How about these dogs? (I'm *not* considering getting a dog at all, but I am quite interested to know how their temperaments are, since I've never even met a dalmatian at all).

ZOMG. NEED. I NEED ONE OF THEM NOW! :D

These puppies are cuuuute but they just make me think of the batshit crazy Dals I've known!

[box-of-sorrows.livejournal.com]

The photo's are lovely and damn how cute those pups are!

[gnomenapper.livejournal.com]

These photos are gorgeous! They made me smile for certain. I think Blue is my favorite. Am I imagining strong personalities? It's almost like I can see each individual photo and assign a trait: shy, brave etc.

Now THIS is what I call a good way to start a Monday!

[collie222.livejournal.com]

How adorable! These guys could steal your heart in a second!
