Eye's wide open...

The puppies are two weeks old this week and their eyes are opened. They are starting to try and stand up and walk around.

On another note, Thomas was tested for MPS VI and it came back clear and normal. I did not test Tinkerbelle because even if she is affected or a carrier of the MPS VI the puppies will only be carriers, which is why it is important to spay/neuter the puppies and to NOT breed them. We DO NOT want affected dogs. MPS VI is found in Min Pin's and is a genetic disease. Tom is only the 1,604 min pin to be tested with his disease, so make sure when you are buying a puppy you buy a healthy puppy from someone who cares to do the proper leg work before breeding. Testing was done by University of Penn School of Veterinary Medicine. MPS VI means Mucoploysccharidosis type VI and more information can be found here Univeristy of Penn Vet Medicine
