Everest’s puppies have officially reached four weeks old, and this is one of our favorite stages of raising a litter here at Bama Huskies.
This litter consists of five Siberian Husky puppies three beautiful solid copper girls and two dirty-faced agouti boys. Their colors certainly get your attention, but at four weeks old, we’re beginning to watch something even more important develop: their individual personalities.
Four Weeks Is a Big Developmental Stage
At four weeks, Husky puppies are becoming much more aware of the world around them. They are walking and playing with more confidence, interacting with their littermates, responding to us, and beginning to investigate new sights, sounds, surfaces, and experiences.
This is also when we begin seeing little differences between puppies.
One may be the first to investigate something new. Another may hang back for a moment and watch before deciding to join in. Some are naturally more outgoing, while others are more thoughtful and cautious.
None of those things by themselves make one puppy “better” than another. They are pieces of a personality that will continue developing over the coming weeks.
After more than 30 years of raising dogs, I’ve learned that you can’t judge a puppy by one moment. You watch them repeatedly, under different circumstances, and let them show you who they are.
More Than Just Raising Puppies
Our job isn’t simply to keep puppies fed and healthy until they are old enough to leave.
These first weeks give us an opportunity to help build the foundation they’ll carry into their new homes.
We gradually introduce our puppies to normal handling, different sounds, surfaces, environments, toys, people, and age-appropriate challenges. As they get older, those experiences continue to expand.
We don’t expect a four-week-old puppy to be fearless. The goal is to give them opportunities to experience something new, process it, and discover that the world is a pretty good place.
That’s part of what we mean when we say:
Before yours… they’re ours.
Built Generation by Generation
Everest’s puppies are also another generation in bloodlines we’ve been developing and observing for years.
That matters to us.
Pedigrees and genetic testing provide valuable information, but there is another kind of information that only comes with time: knowing the dogs behind the pedigree.
We’ve had the opportunity to watch multiple generations grow up. We know their temperaments, characteristics, strengths, and the traits they tend to pass along. We also stay in contact with many Bama Huskies families and continue learning from the dogs we’ve produced after they leave us.
You don’t build that knowledge from one litter.
You build it generation by generation.
Three Copper Girls and Two Agouti Boys
And we have to admit Everest gave us one striking litter.
The three solid copper girls are absolutely beautiful, while our two dirty-faced agouti boys have that rugged, wolf-like Husky appearance that makes them hard to overlook.
But color is only the first thing you see.
Over the next several weeks, we’ll be paying much more attention to the puppies themselves how they respond to people, how they interact with their littermates, how confident they become, and how each personality continues to develop.
That’s where things really start getting interesting.
For now, enjoy the video of Everest’s five four-week-old puppies doing what puppies do best growing, learning, playing, and making us laugh.
Because good dogs don’t just happen.
They’re built generation by generation.
