Gabe Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Thanks everyone. I am curious if my dogs eyes still Have a chance to change into blue? They are brown with a slight hint of blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 welcome to the pack - gorgeous pup! if dakotas eyes are already brown they will stay that way - the parti eye will probs stay tho (brown or blue eyes with a hint of another colour in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutsibe Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 What a cutie! I'm assuming the "touch of blue" is all over the brown? All puppies have a bluish cast to their eyes when they first open, and it can be hard to tell what color they will be at that point, although eyes that will be truly blue tend to be vivid blue, and brown eyes more navy at that stage. The blue cast stays with brown eyes for quite a few weeks, though, so no, they won't turn blue, although as Nix said, if there's more than a blue cast to them, there could be a chip of blue, or a larger portion of an eye could be blue. Where you see brown - it will be brown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 So I'm going to use this thread as a timeline of Dakota's life and accomplishments as well as my questions section. We had a pretty good first night. I am wondering how much I should be feeding her. I have been feeding her about 1/2 a cup of quality dry food twice a day. Should i feed her more and/or more often? Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone. I would feed her 1/2 cup at least 3 times per day, 4 times would be better. At about 4 months, stay at or switch to 3 times per day. And from 8 to 10 months, make the change to twice a day. When you move to 3 times a day, you might up the amount per feeding to 3/4 cup, and when you move to feeding twice a day, up the among to 1 cup per feeding. Keep on puppy food for 12 months, then slowly transition to a good quality adult kibble. Awesome pics of a gorgeous pup. Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.

Congrats on the baby girl, she is a cutie!! I will say this, that crate training will get a lot easier. If you stick with it, it will help a lot with potty training to. Good luck on tomorrow!!
