My new puppy at 2 & 1/2 weeks. I am beginning to worry he may be growing into a porker!!

2 and a half weeks? Up on his feet well for that age. He is chubby but that disappears fast when they start running around. When do you get him and what breed is he?
-
He is a working English Springer. I have him now - & his mother & 4 litter mates. I am pleased with him. He is bigger at this age than any in his mother's litter, but just as active. Mind you mum was 1 of 9 & this litter is only 5.

Ah, I hadn't realised you bred him. 5 is a nice size of litter. You've done well for them if they are so strong.

Very sweet ;D If our Springer was anything to go by, he'll soon run off his puppy fat once he gets going! :D
-
His granny was jumping on out 3 foot wall the day after her spay last week. That was with the elizabethan collar on, so I have no doubts he will grow fast & naughty. One of the others is going for agility with some one who already has one of mine. Another is going for obedience competition. Five is much more reasonable than the last litter (2 years ago) of 9 which was hard work.
