10/06/2007 The puppies are now nine days old and they now have black pigment and their eyes are nearly all open.	10/06/2007 This photo shows the four boys.....
10/06/2007 ....and this one shows the five girls. There is not a lot of difference between them, they are all a good weight for their age.	10/06/2007 As you can see, they are all getting pretty heads and in a few more days their hearing should develop.
10/06/2007 They still spend almost all of their time asleep....	10/06/2007 ....or feeding at the milkbar.
12/06/2007 The puppies continue to grow alarmingly quickly....	12/06/2007 .....they all now have their eyes open....
12/06/2007 .....they are becoming much more interactive with humans....	12/06/2007 ......as you can see from this photo, some of the puppies are now marked for identification.
With our last few litters, we have used a technique known as "The Superdog Programme". This a series of stimulations on the puppies, where different sensations are introduced to the puppies as their neurological systems are developing. The reason for this, is that it is claimed to make the puppies healthier and more intelligent as they grow-up. The puppies seem to enjoy the sensation, especially when it has been done a few times, so we decided to continue with this litter. Does it make the puppies any more healthy and intelligent? Well, the puppies from previous litters that have been given this stimulation certainly seem to be bright and intelligent with no reported problems! The details of this programme can be found on this link; http://www.guncreeklabradors.com/ENS/ENS.htm. We have taken a series of photos of the puppies going through their 'exercises', which correspond with the text in the above document. It only a few seconds per puppy, and we think that it is worth the time spent.
13/06/2007 First exercise is puppy held head-up....	13/06/2007 ....the second position is head-down...
13/06/2007 ....followed by a few seconds on their back....	13/06/2007 ....then onto a damp cloth....
13/06/2007 ....and finally stimulating the pupppies pad with a cotton-bud.	13/06/2007 The puppies do like to burrow under their vet-bed.
