Jesse

Jesse was the last born of the litter - and the last to do everything since then. He was still nursing while everyone else was trying out puppy kibble. He is the most laid back of all of them.

He is short and stocky like Jethro - but closer to Jack's reddish coloring. He does have more fuzziness than Jack - and white on his chin and chest.

He is never a bit of trouble - though we are having to work a little harder with him to be more confident in meeting strangers.

Janie

Janie is the most Schnauzer looking of the entire litter. She looks a lot like her mama. She is also the tiniest of the litter. She is small and very petite.

But she is only small in size - her personality is SUPER SIZE. She is my wild child. She kicks butt and takes names. She is all teeth - and starts fights wherever she goes. She just loves to instigate trouble with her brothers and sisters. We laugh around our house when we hear two puppies arguing - we say "Janie who are you picking on now?" Now don't get me wrong - she doesn't do any of it to be mean - it's just that her motto is "Girls Just Want To Have Fun!"

Jack was the runt of the litter at birth. And although he has caught up size wise - he is still the baby of the litter.

He loves human attention - loves to be held. He is the biggest kisser of the group. When you pick him up you will get your face washed over and over.

He will cry and howl if he is lonely and needing to be picked up.

Jack is small with a petite structure - not as tall as Joya and Jeb - but not as short as Jethro and Jesse. He is almost a red color with mostly smooth coat - though his face is getting that Schnauzer fuzz.

Jeb

Jeb is the explorer! He LOVES to climb. And JUMP. He is just Happy! Happy! Happy!

And he is BEAUTIFUL. He has the taller, lankier frame like Joya. He has the fuzzy beard like a Schnauzer.

He also loves people - but more into playing than snuggling. Loves Tug of War - he plays with my Chihuaha/JRT - and has even won once!

Joya

Joya was born feet first! And is still doing things her own way! She is the most self confident of the group. At 4 weeks reached up and swatted my grouchy terrier mix in the face! She was the first to do everything: walk, scream, bark, escape from the whelping box, escape from the living room and go exploring. Whoever adopts her will never have a dull moment. She will keep them on their toes.

But Joya is very very sweet - and loves people and especially loves to have her tummy rubbed.

She is also the first to crash and fall asleep after every play session.

Jethro

The puppy in the foreground is Jethro. (Jack is the one behind him)

Jethro was the first born and by far the largest of the puppies. His brothers and sisters have all caught up with him though and he is not noticeably bigger. Though he has the short & stocky stature like his brother Jesse.

Jethro is very laid back, just middle of the road kinda personality. He likes to play and have fun - but can be very cuddly when he is held

5 Weeks - and going strong - Part 2

Jack

This is the runt - but he thinks he is big and strong! He does not look like a schnauzer - closer to a red tick coon hound!












Joya

This is the troublemaker of the group. Hard to believe with that sweet face. She is also one of the most spoiled - wanting to be picked up!

Jethro

He started it out as the biggest puppy at birth - but he is more into sleeping than eating these days - so his brothers and sisters have all overtaken him










This is 4 of them in my lap. I am the backup Mama - if they can't find their real mama and they smell me in the vicinity - they all climb in my lap - and play and snooze as long as I'll let them. It's a tough job - but someone has to do it!

5 Weeks - and going strong

Janie

This is the one of the group that is actually going to look like her Mama - she looks all schnauzer!














Jesse

This is the most laid back of the litter. (well until Angela picks him up and he screams his fool head off)













Jeb

Hisn't he the sweetest thing you've ever seen?

3 Weeks and Growing

They are getting very active and growing more everyday. I moved them for the day to try out their soon to be permanent area. They were very scared to be there.

But they got used to it and soon were just basking in the sunlight in the kitchen. After they are weaned they will be moved in there permanently until they go to their new homes.








Here is Janie. I was going to try to take new individual pictures - but they are just way too mobile. I did take this one while I was holding her. I wanted to be able to show everyone that she is looking more and more like her mama. The tips of all her hairs have turned blonde - and her head is getting really fluffy.
