Just a day old... Scooby seems to have an adorable face! He is 6.3 cm long and weighs 18.08 ounces. Since then, all these pups were taken care of carefully and promtly. We made sure that all of them will grow healthy.

When we paired Maochai with Sparky... we didn't pay anything for the mating. Our contract stated that we will give a puppy every successful tie/pregnancy. We loved all of the puppies so much that we didn't want to give nor sell anyone. Sparky's owner wanted a much with the longest ears. Scooby turned out to be it. We had no choice but to give him in exchange of the successful tie.

Going back to Scooby's progress. We also wanted to give them the puppy they wanted and expected in the first place. We treated Scooby just like anyone from the rest of the litter. We gave him proper care, feeding, grooming, hygeine and a very well balanced surrounding that will be able to help him grow sufficiently and comfortably for the rest of his upbringning.

Scooby wasn't given to them right away of course. According to my previous knowledge with dogs and researches that helped me pretty well with all these, dogs should be weaned from all or sell during the 8th to 10th week. Scooby played a vibrant role in the lives of everyone in our family. He's our wonderful hair dresser because he would usually go up to our pillows and undo our hair!

Scooby stayed with us for 3 weeks. After his first deworming... Dad took him and played a crucial role in his life... which we think is a good thing!
