Week 3 - Puppies' Progress Revisited

The last post where we looked at growth on the puppies was on May 4 where we noted that the biggest pup at birth wasn't necessarily the biggest gainers. This is still the case and we must note that a majority of the pups have pushed over the one pund mark! So here again we offer a statistical comparison of May 11 vs. April 30.

OLD - April 30

Puppy --------Gain Since Birth ----Absolute Gain (oz.)
Yellow Green ------109% ------------- 7.25
Pink Green --------114% ------------- 6.25
Black --------------93% -------------5
Green Black ----- 100% --------------5.5
Green ------------130% ---------------6
Pink Black --------121% --------------5.75
Yellow Black ----- 140% ------------- 7.4
Pink --------------124% --------------7
Yellow ------------124% ---------------6.5

So what else have we learned? We cannot predict growth progress but as we keep tracking them, we continue to work on the ones that need to keep up.
