Smudge's and Henry's pups reach five weeks old

Smudge and Henry

Smudge's and Henry's pups are now five weeks old. That seems to have flown past and what a beautiful litter of pups they are developing in to.
When I researched doing this cross between a Cavalier and the Brittany spaniel I thought on paper it looked a good option and then came the day to put the theory in to practice. I waited for the arrival of this litter excitedly, but also with a pinch of apprehension.
Now they are here and as I watch them grow into strong, friendly and very curious individuals, the apprehension is lifted and is replaced totally with the excitement of watching each of them become themselves.
