This photo was taken so that over the weeks you can get an idea of the size of the puppies as they mature. Rylee is 8 years old and a daughter of a friend in Mesa. If possible we will have Rylee sit in the whelping box with the puppies at each puppy photo session. That way you will have an idea of how quickly the puppies are growing and changing in personality. At 12 days old, all the puppies really do is eat, sleep and grow. Rylee is very anxious to help with the socializing of the puppies. Her grandparents bought a Bouvier puppy from us about 30 years ago when her mother, Andrea , was 8 years old. Our kids were a similar age so we all became friends. We saw a lot of the kids as they were growing up. They liked to visit our farm and play with our dogs, horses, birds, cats etc. Andrea learned to ride horses with our kids. Andrea became a Paramedic and her 2 brothers are Lawyers. It's fun to watch Andrea's 3 children interact with our present Bouviers. We have established friendships with many of our clients over the years and now enjoy visits from them as they pass through Arizona or we travel across the country we visit their homes and see our puppies as grown dogs.
