I guessed if one litter they were representing was ACA registered, then all their litters were.Elaine H.

These pups are AKC registered (I have seen the pedigree.) Thank you for this comment, as you are quite right about ACA.<br /><br />A number of "registries" have cropped up, allowing people to put papers on any dog they choose. There are even mixed-breed "registries" that will give you papers on your "hybrid" or "designer" dog. Potential puppy parents should run if the registration says anything other than AKC (American Kennel Club) or UKC (United Kennel Club.) These are the only two legitimate registries, to my knowledge.Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-74006835433483992082010-03-30T14:42:10.509-04:002010-03-30T14:42:10.509-04:00Everyone should be able to get the dog they want, ...Everyone should be able to get the dog they want, but I would be very careful. I see the pups are "ACA" registered. The American Canine Association was invented by the puppy millers who were unwilling to follow even the AKC's relatively lax rules on record keeping and DNA for frequently used sires. ACA just sends up the biggest "Danger, Danger, unscrupulous breeder" warnings - to me.Elaine H.

That seems such a long way to bring home a new baby. Being a doggie doc you will be able to select the better one in short order when you get there. Boston Terrier? Hmmm...I thought of you as a large breed owner.<br /><br />Good Luck!!! Hope we'll see lots of baby pictures.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-10743541498198522392010-03-20T20:39:28.353-04:002010-03-20T20:39:28.353-04:00It's amazing how quickly after losing a belove...It's amazing how quickly after losing a beloved pet you can actually open your heart again to a new one. It's happened to me a couple of times and I'm grateful. <br /><br />Both of these girls are so cute, I don't know how you can choose! It's too bad they're not closer so you can handle them. As was already suggested, maybe waiting a couple of weeks might help your choice.Beth in NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252100519220279252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-77826117387992371552010-03-20T18:55:29.418-04:002010-03-20T18:55:29.418-04:00Holly: No, no, no!!!

Two puppies = at least 3x the work of one, maybe even more. <br /><br />Lisa: You can't see it from this photo, but puppy 2 doesn't have a complete shawl, just a lightning bolt streak down the right shoulder. But, it does have a better blaze and more white on the rear legs than 1 does. I like #1's head (even tho the white blaze doesn't go all the way back.)<br /><br />But, as you say, you can't tell much about conformation at this age. I don't want to be in a hurry, but I am getting impatient. And, I still have 2 months to wait!Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-24338649145152922132010-03-20T18:36:14.265-04:002010-03-20T18:36:14.265-04:00May be better to wait and see who has the best con...May be better to wait and see who has the best conformation at around 7 weeks. that's usually when we make our final picks, even though I start evaluating at 4 weeks. I have a great video on structure, of course your breed standard is also a good place to start. that can be found on the AKC website.Kirkland Acres Rabbitry And Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032204275380236912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-14607244351710282082010-03-20T18:33:28.165-04:002010-03-20T18:33:28.165-04:00#2 has better markings even though the shaw doesn&...#2 has better markings even though the shaw doesn't llok quite perfect.Kirkland Acres Rabbitry And Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032204275380236912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3439217614964375870.post-20822210641485901252010-03-20T15:58:27.010-04:002010-03-20T15:58:27.010-04:00Oh hell, take 'em both.
