What Will A Pup Grow Up to Look Like?

What will your pup grow up to look like? It can be very hard to imagine when the pups are days--or even 6 or 7 weeks old. Alot depends, of course, on the parents. You will be able to estimate the amount of ticking by 5 or 6 weeks.

Below are some photos of our pups through different stages to show you how much they change and to help you try to imagine what your pup may grow up to look like. You must take into consideration the sire and dam as well as the grandparents.
