Charlie’s winter litter FOUR week update ❄️❤️
Four weeks old and these sweet puppies are truly coming into their own. This is the stage where personalities start to shine—curious explorers, confident little leaders, gentle cuddlers, and thoughtful observers are all emerging. Their days are filled with play, learning, and growing connections with people.
Four weeks old and these little personalities are truly coming to life. This week marks a big shift—from sleepy newborns to curious, playful pups who are starting to show us exactly who they are. Their days are filled with exploring, tasting new foods, and confidently interacting with the world around them.
Each puppy is beginning to develop their own unique temperament—some bold and adventurous, others thoughtful observers who prefer to watch before jumping in. Tails are wagging more often, playtime is louder, and connections with people are growing stronger every day.
🐾 Week 4 Milestones
• Eating puppy mush more confidently and showing excitement at mealtime
• Play behavior increasing: wrestling, chasing, pouncing, and playful growls
• Beginning to self-regulate—short bursts of play followed by rest
• Stronger coordination and balance while walking and running
• Responding to human voices, touch, and eye contact
• Practicing bite inhibition with littermates
• Increased awareness of their environment and new sounds
🤍 Personality Development
• Confident pups stepping forward first to explore
• Affectionate pups seeking human interaction and cuddles

✨ Breeder Highlights for Future Families

Week 4 is always one of our favorites—this is when the magic really begins. Watching these puppies grow into confident, loving little individuals is such a joy, and we’re excited to continue guiding them as they prepare for the families meant just for them. ❄️🐶
