Money has been the most vocal of the females for the first three days.  That has no bearing on her adult self mind you, it actually is encouraging that she has the willingness to try and communicate her needs.  Grunty and even a little sqeely for the turn over and dangle.  Was a little lost when placed back in the nest and didn't immediately know how to find mom. She bobbed her little head around till it seemed to "kick in" and she made a b-line for mom, dove under her and slept.

This is a BIG female. Perhaps the largest adult dog of the litter. For ENS Money struggled to tolerate being held long enough to have them performed. I usually saved her for last as she disturbed the litter when she is returned to the nest.  Pushing her way through the puppy pile and knocking other pups off the teat if she feels hungry.   Oddly enough she was totally relaxed for 3 week temp tests. Didn't mind handling or dangle. Didn't volunteer any interaction and did not do any following.   Money will bond deeply with her furever people and will need proper socialization to thrive.   Intense red colors and a nice solid bone structure.

As soon as Money was put into the indoor/outdoor puppy part of the yard, she started to come out of her shell.  A neat pup that always waits for the common to die down before she goes in for a meal.  Then its on. When she likes something she likes it all the way.  6 wk temp tests were lengthy as she hunkered down and refused to participate. Alot of freezing and even skittering off. No following.  She's the quietest of all pups, not vocal at all.   She appreciates being carried and snuggled tight.   Shes stil the biggest pup with a balanced structure - carries herself well.
