Decker x Shasta Pups - Week 4

Here is what the following week will bring for the babies:

Week Four (Days 22-28)
  • Begin to eat food
  • Begin to bark, wag tails, bite, paw, bare teeth, growl and chase
  • Use legs well
  • Tire easily
  • Depth perception starts
Cindy has scheduled appointments for the pup's CERF exam and temperament evaluation already, although those won't be taking place for several weeks still.

A CERF examination is a typical eye screening examination that is done by a veterinarian specialized in ophthalmology. The pup’s pupils will be dilated with eye drops and the examiner will examine the eyes looking for major abnormalities. This ensures that the pup's eyes are healthy when they go to their new homes.
