She does alot of Sleeping and eating at this point, her eyes are trying to open a little and she responds to sounds. she is really crawling now. She was named by my 2 oldest grand daughters.

 This girl Storm is wow so full of Confidence and Striking Markings So far my favorite to watch growing up, She is very curious about her surroundings and loves to play, The slipper in the one photo is the one she drug around for some time having fun with it. Will see more as she grows.

  I am sorry these pictures are not the best I had to take them with my little camera that isnt the greatest as the batteries died on the bigger camera,, I will try and get pictures with the other camera Ramon when it charges and send them to your email..

  As for Storm well she is an exceptional girl, I really love her temperment she is so outgoing and ready to play. She is also into the pouncing at you when you are playing with her but in the air..She gets along with all siblings and very loving, She did well with her testing today, She followed me around she was attentive to my voice and calling the word come. She looked around and listened by turned her head to one side or the other to see where it was coming from, Her elevation test was good and she was curious like looking at me saying why am I up here, She expresses alot with her head the way she turns it to listen to the whistle.. She did submit to me today but it wasnt for along period of time, I think she is going to be a little dominate, I did get response while I was holding her in that state and talking to her.  

                                  Storm At 6 Weeks

                                           11Pds 12oz

   She really don't know what to think of the snow but she was tasting it and playing in it. I really didn't get alot of time for temperament testing today would like to this over the weekend with my grandchildren here. I will post that on Sunday for sure maybe Saturday. But here are some pictures to enjoy until then..Thanks

     6 Week Evals were great . I certainly have to say she has an independence streak to her. She will do good with Socializing, Other animals and strangers, Although she didn't show alot of attention to the strangers that we had her around .. One of the tests that we did was to take them individually away from mom and siblings, We did test to see if they were Confident/Timid or Calm/or Hyperactive.. Most Akita's will carry the Independant Nature being Inheritated.. With more socializing she will be more people orientated, She did not hold eye contact with me which is good ..She shows signs of Submission. On Leash Behavior was observed and wasnt liked at this point, This is something that none of the pups usually like for the first couple times. Physical control /Restraint was tested also. She was submissive to that as well. Being around strangers she didn't cower  from them although she was aloof ..Standing back aways watching interactions.

                              Lakota JR ette

                  1Pd  13 oz

  She was named Lakota JR ette because she reminds me alot of momma with her coloring .. She sleeps and eats and crawls all over, they all have been being socialized with us and our grandchildren and also nefews and Sister in Laws. She is so far a pretty mellow girl. She will whine if she can find mom but that is to expected at this age.

                                Lacota JR ette

                   3 weeks old

                     4pds 1oz

   She is the biggest of the girls in weight by about a half pd. She is going to have Silver and Fawn Brindle Im thinking..She is also a lover and loves her chest rubbed even if her back feet go a 100 miles and hr. She loves to be held and talked to.. So far seems to be a fast learner.

                Lakota Jr Ette at 4 Weeks

                   7Pds 10oz

  Look at this girl she is so full of love, And she loves chewing on your hair, she will just bury her face right in it. She is playful and likes toys. She loves using her nose and checking things out, So many new smells to them. She did very well being away from momma for about a half hr today, she is now eating puppyfood dry and have got very sharp little teeth, Momma is now trying to wean them, We will be taking mamma away more to give her a break and takeing the siblings away from each other to get them used to the separation.

                    8pds 13oz

OmG Look what I caught her doing, LOL she is going to be alot of fun although I think you might have to put your shoes up.. She is such a player, She loves to cuddle and play, She loved the snow and ran and ran and ran in it, One of things I love watching her do is Pouncing, She will pounce at anything and then she gets into a position where her front feet are down but her but is in the air..She did well with her temperment testing,She does get a little distracted easily, I did take her away from siblings that didn't seem to bother her but she just wanted to keep playing ,, I will try a different technique next time. She did good with elevation and she does not care for the submissive "holding them on there backs" She will I would say be a little more dominate than the others. She did respond to the whistling and was looking where it came from..She did follow me in the yard and she did hold attention to my voice.

               SARA @ 1 WEEK

                            1Pd 13oz

   This little girl SARA was named by my grand daughters they have names for all of them but thisis the one I remembered. One of the girls is sara but I am not sure which.. She does sleep and eat and crawl , I think she is starting to respond to sound, Her eyes are trying to open She will have an all white tail and white front leg, She is a black Brindle.

                        Sara at 3 Weeks

                  3pds 11oz

   Sara is a momma's girl I think, she does like to use her nose though..She was searching out everything today. She likes to play with her siblings. She also likes to be talked to and responds to voices.. She likes her belly rubbed but don't like the dominance hold but did well with being weighed. 

                     SARA @ 4 WEEKS

               6Pds 13oz

  This Little Sara is FUN FUN FUN.. She is just on the cautious side but once she was with us playing with new toys she was having fun, She was climbing all over Franks head when he was laying on the floor. To Funny this girl.. She does like her toys though. I will know more about her temperment in this next week or two.

                          Sara at 5 Weeks

                  8pds 14oz

 As I am typing this right now Sara is at my feet and at first she was playing with my slipper and my pants but is now content on just laying there nicely beside me being mellow, She did have a good play workout today to.

  She did really well with her temperment testing so far. She did real good with her elevation test and her back test, She is submissive to me and didn't budge when held there, She was attentive to my voice and she come when i would make the sound for her to follow, She did search around for the whistle on different parts of the yard to see where they were coming from.. And she held the attention span. She absolutely loves the snow and wish I would have had a camera out when she was playing in it.. She was out with her sister Storm and they really were having a great time, But it was time to bring them in cause it is still quite cold here.

                        Bear JR @ 1 WEEK

                 1pd 9oz

 What a sweet boy, He surely has his grampa Bears temperment so far.. He is so mellow he will fall asleep in your hands.. Loves his tummy rubbed .. His eyes are opening and he does his share of the crawling.

                             Bear JR @ 3 Weeks

                       3pds 11oz

  Bear Jr is not the biggest boy of the litter yet but he just might be. He is doing great.. Did not cry once for his mom being taken away, He just dont mind being on his back and getting chest rubbed.. He likes to search things and use his nose he even decided he wanted to see what was under the couch and behind the chair. He is one that I think as time goes on will amaze me with his temperment. He has been a cuddler since he was born. He really did bond with my sister in law and she fell totally in love with him.

                 BEAR JR @ 4 WEEKS OLD

                 7Pds 5oz

  Bear Jr has a few things that are different being his legs are both white and muzzle has more white right now. I think this will fade more the bigger he gets. This boy here is very submissive right now. Above is a picture of him on his back with my hand on his chest . He likes to cuddle as well on his back. He is very inquizative about everything around him, He checks it all out, He did very well being away from mom but just not for a longer period of time, We will see more of his reactions to this in the next couple weeks.

    Believe it or not I actually caught this boy smiling LOL.. It is actually adorable

  It was to late to go outside tonight and the pictures aren't showing up as good tonight. His temperament testing went well.. When he was outside earlier he loved the snow. He did follow me around the yard .. When mom started barking he took off for her. He did hold a good attention span when away from distractions like his siblings. He was good with being on his back for a little over 30 seconds and didn't want to stay there even talking to him. He was really good with his elevation, He was wagging his tail at us. He was attentive to the whistling in different parts of the yard. He did have to go check out under my car. LOL

 Thunder likes to check things out, We had a hard time with him wanting to go behind the couch and chairs. He is a searcher for sure. He has great markings. Totally unique! His temperment so far is mellow and inquizitive. He loves to be held and talked to and will hold attention to your voice for quite some time. He don't mind being on his back to the submissive nature. I will see more in the following week or two. He is playful and watchful. Likes the socks that we tie up and plays with his siblings with them.

He wanted to play in the snow and had a good time, He responded well to my voice and watch and listened to where the whistling was, He didn't mind the test on his back he did submit to me but he was not staying in that position long. His elevation test was a snap for him didn't seem to bother him in the least... He is a great boy and he loves attention and snuggles..

                   LIGHTNING @ 1 WEEK

                  1Pd 11oz

 Lightning is the biggest of the boys by only a few oz. That can most certainly change. He has Beautiful markings. All of them have the Brindle just like Grampa Bear and there momma. He likes to be with the group and snuggle.. He does wake up and crawl around but when it is time to sleep he will get with a group.

                      Lightning at 3 weeks

                   3pd 12oz

     Confidence or what at 3 weeks...

  I think this boy is already showing signs of confidence. He is also a searcher but not much into alot of loving LOL.. He does let you pet and hold him but just wants to be down to roam around. He likes to use his nose and he was not wanting to stay still long enough to get pictures.. He is sure fun though.

                 LIGHTNING AT 4 WEEKS

                 7Pds 1oz

  This boy is way to adorable and loving, He is fun and really funny, He is starting to toss his head and growl at the toys which is so fun to watch them learn. You can tell by the picture above he is certainly a lover. He took to Frank totally over me and he is used to my voice. He is eating hard puppyfood and drinking water now, Momma is trying to wean now. Next week we start the temperment testing although I see alot of potential in him, He didn't whine one time to be with momma or siblings.

   Lightning with Grampa Bear.. Love it

  Loaded with Confidence this boy..

 His temperment testing was very good. He loves the outside, followed my voice on different parts of the yard, He also followed the whistle... He kept his attention span on me for quite awhile. He loves eating snow. He did well with elevation and didn't seem to bother him a bit although he was curious and kept looking down. He did well with the laying on the back, being held He was submissive for 30 seconds or so then started wiggling to get up .. When talked to he did very well with submitting again, I think he will have a good balance between submission and dominance.. I will do this again next week as they change alot in a weeks time...I am happy with his temperment so far . Next week we will start on the noises of different things and also the tracking .. I like to know how long it takes them to find the object and if they can follow a trail. The 7th week trail will be a little harder to follow.
