Last weekend we got the boy puppies together at a local country park for the first time since they left us to go on to their new homes. It was wet and muddy but we had a blast, it was absolutely wonderful to see them together again.
It was also very interesting to see the variations in size and body type. Pippin was the biggest puppy when born but is now shorter and not as long as the others yet he weighs the same as Ruari, it appears he is taking after Kumis family who are shorter and stockier. Sammy wasn't far off the same height as Ruari but he wasn't as long and his ear carriage was very different to Ruari and Pippins. Ruari is now the tallest and longest, taking after his dad.
Hopefully next time we get together the girls will be able to join us too.
