:crying: For some reason, I "assumed" I could take my Blueberry home at 8 weeks. Well, I wrong. Looks like it's closer to 12 weeks.
Also, spoke with his breeder over the weekend. Was hoping to drive up and visit my bully, no-go. She said she's taking them to the vet this week (the litter will be six weeks this Wednesday) for their fist set of shots. So we decided I'd come up a week later to visit.
She's very into everything being sterile, clean, no outside contact etc. until they're vaccinated. I'm glad she's so strict, but at the same time- oh my gawd.. I want to see my furry baby!

In the meantime, I'm getting updated pics.
There's a girl in the litter that looks exactly like Blue, he's got his chin on her in his bum shot.. :ashamed: I was reading here how two are better than one :D and tried to talk my hubby into getting her as well. It umm, didn't quite go according to my plan. But all hope is not yet lost. He's starting to cave. Hoping he agrees before she goes to her forever home!

As no thread is complete without puppy pics, here's a few of the ones I got last week.

They are some cuties alright, and keep working on your hubby, because it's always better to have at least two. They do need play mates. :2thumbs: Plus I hope she lets you come see them after they have their shots, if not I would start to question what she is hiding. They usually go at 8 weeks but it is always better for the pups to go at 12 weeks to get a little more socialized and they learn a lot from mom in the last few weeks, so hang in there, it will be over before you know it.

Wow! Precious pups! I would go crazy! Jake was in our neighborhood..a couple blocks away..so I was certifiable a STALKER! I got to help rotate the pups with feeding at a week old..and before I knew Jake needed me..lol..I was there constantly. And since his mom was loving avocados while nursing..lol..it was a simple bribe! A bag of fresh picked avocados and Mommy Bully loved us! We even got to bing him to our house the week before he came home. He was isolated in our yard..and got to hang with Dena Dawg a bit. Hang in there..your Blueberry is wonderful! :love:

OH wow!! Beautiful puppies, I would be all over those two in the second picture and have them both. They look so much like my Amber when she was that age. Beautiful puppies, I can relate to your wait, I am waiting on Ambers momma to have her litter and I call Lisa regularly to find out how things are going. lol; it is well worth the wait but it seems like it takes forever. Congratulations! Hang in there

OMG -- they are gorgeous. Make sure hubby is with you for the visit and have him hold the little girl while you hold Blue. He will cave in seconds -- I am so excited for you and love, love, love their coloring.

[MENTION=3354]RiiSi[/MENTION] I showed my hubby the video of Usko and Voitto playing together. Hoped it would help hubby come around. He laughed (your video is one of the cutest I've seen), and said "let's wait until Blue is about 1 then we'll talk about a second bully".. grrr.. :mad:
[MENTION=2071]Davidh[/MENTION] bully puppies are the cutest thing ever. :heart: Our breeder was willing to let me come up at 6 weeks. She just wasn't going to let me get too near the puppies.. lol. We agreed I'd come up about a week after their vaccines. So I'll see Blue when he's 7 weeks. But that's still 1.5 weeks away..:crying:
[MENTION=2092]JAKEISGREAT[/MENTION] Thank you! Only a few block away??!! You must of been in bully heaven :luv::angelheart: with all those puppies.
[MENTION=1034]BruceP[/MENTION] Thank you. Bat crap mad is exactly how I'm feeling..
[MENTION=390]cali~jenn[/MENTION] The wrinkles.. OMG the wrinkles. Both Blue and his sister are very wrinkly now. Much more so than in the above pictures. They're just puddles of mush..lol. But yes, the breeder is great. And she really seems to try to better the breed with her litters.
[MENTION=5404]dalmatina38[/MENTION] Thank you. The wait is painful! When is Ambers mom due?
[MENTION=2894]2BullyMama[/MENTION] Thank you. Was thinking the same thing, having Chris play with the girl for a bit. Just don't know if she'll still be available by the time we go up. There were 7 in the litter, but I think only 3 are still available.
[MENTION=1612]Alice Kable[/MENTION] Thank you. I think they make a great pair too. But yes, that's the plan- Chris will hold and play with her. I think I'm giving him a nervous breakdown.. lol..
[MENTION=6201]PenelopeRosebud[/MENTION] lol.. thank you. Blueberry Muffin is a cute name but it's very girly. Hope I don't give him a complex..:blush2:

[MENTION=7457]Blueberrys Mom[/MENTION]..We have so many Bully's in our neighborhood..it's really quite weird! Every one of Jake's brothers live within 2 miles of each other..and there are many unrelated ones too! We call it the "Bullyhood"...:ROFL:

I know nothing about two pups at once..I guess I would equate to twins versus single birth..:eek:

:hmm: Thinking you better NOT use that as a pro..lol

By many names depending on the situation?
Hello,

Congrats on your new (soon) addition. Yes, the wait is hard, but well worth the wait.
Better to wait the extra 1-2 weeks to ensure health and ready for your new home.

We do not let ours go until at least 9 weeks, but have kept them up to 12 weeks. Each puppy matures at a different rate.

Good Day~
