Three weeks old is such an exciting milestone for the Oak & Barrel Litter! The puppies are beginning to transition from tiny newborns into curious little explorers. Their eyes are fully open, their hearing continues to improve, and they're becoming much more aware of the world around them.
👣 Steadier Steps – Those first wobbly walks are becoming more coordinated as the puppies gain strength and confidence.
🐾 Emerging Personalities – Individual temperaments are beginning to shine, with each puppy showing unique traits and preferences.
🎭 Playful Interactions – Littermates are engaging in more pawing, climbing, gentle mouthing, and early play behaviors.
💛 Tail Wags & Recognition – Puppies are responding to familiar voices, scents, and handling with adorable tail wags and increased engagement.
👃 Growing Curiosity – New sights, sounds, and scents are capturing their attention as they explore their surroundings.
🌙 Longer Awake Periods – While sleep still dominates the day, puppies are spending more time awake and interacting with their environment.
🤲 Early Socialization – Gentle daily handling and human interaction continue to build confidence and trust.
⚖️ Healthy Growth – The entire litter continues to gain weight steadily and thrive under Rye's attentive care.
At two weeks old, the Oak & Barrel Litter is reaching several exciting milestones. While they're still spending most of their time eating and sleeping, their personalities are beginning to shine through
The Whiskey × Rye puppies are officially one week old, and we could not be happier with how this litter is progressing. Over the past week, the puppies have spent their days doing exactly what healthy newborns should — eating, sleeping, growing, and cuddling close to mom.
