On November 30 the H litter Hunter Otterhound Puppies are Nine Weeks. They have grown a lot since the last update.

They are completely weaned and eating four meals a day plus snacks. Since they are bigger they are now fed in two bowls. But they still eat out of one bowl until empty then start on the other.

They generally sleep through the night and very seldom mess their bed. They still haven’t gotten the hang of wee wee pads. More often then not they play with the pad and wet the bed. They begin their day around six o”clock. But then it is too cold and damp for them to go outside, so the pups are staying in a pen on the enclosed back porch. While this pen gives them more room than their whelping box; they would prefer getting outside.

They all love attention and will crowd around when we go into their pen. They spend about twenty minutes wrestling after eating. Then it’s naptime for about thirty minutes before they are up and at it again. Even when they are sleeping, the sound of their food bowls has them rushing to the gate.

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.
