Saluki

Here you go.
He is allegedly 13 weeks and was allegedly born on the 1st July. We, however, are not convinced. Looks a bit younger than that to me. My best (educated) guess is nearer to 8 weeks as he's not as big or a forward as he should be at 13 weeks.
I weighed him on the kitchen scales, by putting him in a large jug, he weighs a mere 2.065kg which is way way way too light for a Saluki lurcher pup.
There were some other, older pups there who were larger and a lot more forward but we took the wee chap as he didn't look to be coping, living outside in a pup crate and was shivering terribly. I was first going to have a larger red roan chap who was nice but then spotted the wee man. Hubster wanted to take him as we know the fate of working lurcher pups who are not going to cut the mustard and it's grim and often involves a sack & shovel.
Anyway, he's home now. Still nameless. He's stuffed his dinner - we stopped off at the local good pet-shop for some good quality puppy meat and mixer. Nice and high in calories. He slept most of the way home, had had a good explore of the garden and living room and is now snoozing on the sofa and ignoring the purple corduroy bunny that he snugged & sucked for the second half of the ride home.
Vet booked for Monday afternoon. He has had his first lot of jabs but I don't believe the seller chap for a second.
