A little earlier than usual, we took advantage of a sunny but cool day and took these guys outside at 30 days of age. As usual, the first time is a bit stressful and there was some whining. But that will make the next time so much easier!

At 31 days of age, we had a pigeon handy for training the older dogs, and let the pups have the first turn with it. Even I was surprised at how well they did. Pictures just can't show the action, but they were dragging it and even shaking it. These pups do like birds!
