On October 19 the Hunter H became 3 Week Otterhound Puppies. The Otterhound pups are growing fast and passing milestones in puppy development. They have advanced from wobbly walking to running. Not always with the desired results.

The receiving box is barely big enough to hold them and they are all trying to climb out with varying success. Diana no longer can eat in the whelping box without little noses poking into her bowl. When she eats just out side the box the pups have begun climbing over the six inch entry to get to her.

Since the pups have shown an interest in her food we began feeding them “solid” food. Some took to it like true hounds while others were less sure. The second feeding none of them hesitated and they quickly cleaned up the bowl. With the addition of solid food they have started gaining weight more rapidly.

They have begun playing and mouth wrestling. The 3 Week Otterhound Puppies are also getting the idea of the potty box but have a little trouble with the raised edge. While sometimes they get all the way in the box others they only make it half way. There are still more misses than hits.

If you are interested in a puppy please fill out our puppy questionnaire. We would love to see our Otterhound puppies shown or in competition, however, the biggest consideration is what’s best for the puppy. Everyone interested will be given due consideration. However, not everyone will get a puppy as there are more requests than puppies.
