Shhh don't tell anybody...
This is a subject most Aussie owners and breeders don't talk about unless asked. A couple of months after you take your adorable Aussie puppy home.... the Puppy Uglies may strike!
Also called Awkward Teenage Stage or Ugly Ducking Stage, Your puppy will lose it's furry puppy coat, grow long legs, and get kind of scrawny looking. It's head may look too narrow or too big.
Don't panic! In a few months your beautiful Aussie will begin to emerge again.
I don't have many photos to demonstrate - I don't take many pictures when the puppies look awful. If you have some you can contribute, please let me know.
Here are photos of Justa Little Trouble as at 8 weeks old, at 5 month old, and well on her way out of the "puppy uglies" at 1 year old.
Here are photos of Justa Little Hocus Pocus as at 8 weeks old, just entering the "puppy uglies" at 4 months old, and coming out of the "puppy uglies" at 9 months old.
These 2 photos show her "all grown up" at 1 yr old.
7 weeks old, adorable little ball of fur!
3 months old, legs getting longer, nose getting long, ears a little uneven.
10 weeks old, he's beautiful.
Diva is a good example of puppy uglies. At 4 1/2 months old she is all legs and pointy nose. Uneven ears and being inbetween her puppy and adult coat doesn't help, either.
TaDaa! The puppy uglies are here. He's 4 months old and is all legs, with not much coat, funky ears, and long narrow face.
I can't wait to take photos of him all grown up and beautiful!
In this second photo, Diva is almost 8 months old, and she is looking a lot better!
