DDB Hank growth progression

Hi all, just thought I would post the progression of Hanks growth for new DDB owners and anyone that is thinking about getting a DDB, just so they have a reference, I for one found it extremely hard to find pics with an age attached and found myself getting frustrated because I really would have liked to be able to see how these puppies grow and the physical changes in them from week to week. 1st pic is Hank at 7 weeks of age, pic taken by breeder and sent to me.

This pic was taken not long after his breakfast, I'm currently letting him have a short little nap on my lap each morning after his breakfast, but this will stop very very soon as the two of us have now bonded quite well.

After having Hank for 1 week he has learnt, come, sit, and to wait for the command to eat ( currently im only making him wait 2 seconds before giving the eat command)

Thanks Cindy, and yes he is like the perfect baby, no winging at night, learns commands very quickly, still house breaking him but he usually only pee inside if he has just woken up, we had a big storm last night thunder lighting, he was so frightened, but before the storm finished I had him settled and the noise didn't concern him anymore. He just keeps surprising me how awesome! He is. Oh and cuddles are great and I'm going to miss having the little bugger on my lap, today is 1 st day that I'm not letting him on my lap and he appears to be ok with it, lots of cuddles on the floor instead .

Hank is so adorable! One command to teach him is "look at me/focus", this is very important command especially when you start walking him in public areas. It helps to keep his attention on you and not on the distractions.
