Initially I thought it was a young Mountain Lion but upon further inspection after the video stopped I realized it was a medium sized female Bobcat. This is the first Bobcat Ike has treed. Very proud of him! :)

They are getting BIG, growing like weeds! I think this is going to be a very nice litter with some really impressive Russian hunting champions in their pedigrees.

The pups are all starting to open their eyes, which means they were moved to the living room (with Kilbe) this weekend so that they will get socialized to all the sounds of the home. Up to this point they’ve been in the bedroom bonding with their mom (during the neonatal socialization period).

Here are some updated pictures of the pups. I took these today, Sunday March 31st 2013. In these pictures the puppies are 13 days old.

This litter was sired by Ike.

Ike is a very skilled large and small game dog, and Kilbe is hell on small game. They work well together out in the bush. They are both very versatile dogs.

I think these puppies will be exceptionally good hunters and would be perfect for the avid outdoorsman who is looking for the perfect “survival” dog – Ike and Kilbe will tree just about any game and are very predator aggressive dogs. Ike has treed a number of aggressive black bear for me while I was out in the bush.

They’re not just wonderful hunting companions though, Ike and Kilbe are also exceptionally good with our daughter, very clean, and surprisingly obedient.
