It really doesn’t get cuter than these puppies! They are all ready for their permanent home, and it will be hard to choose between them!

All of them are still learning housebreaking and crate training – they are like all puppies and will do wonderful with positive reinforcement and treats! They are good with cats and also good with kids! (As long as the children are ready for puppy kisses!)

These guys are little balls of typical puppy bounciness and curiosity. They love to climb, nibble, follow, wrestle, and cuddle with anyone regardless of age! They have lived every day of their lives in a foster home, so they love everyone and everything already! They are very trusting and loving towards any person they meet. It just takes seeing all their tails wag non-stop to see how friendly they are!

They love to play together and are very curious and eager to tag along with any dog in sight. Cedar, Olive, and Cherry are interested and playful with bigger dogs but instantly submissive when put in their place. Pecan wants to be just like her older foster sister and imitates everything she does. Birch is playful and respectful around older and bigger dogs. Aspen is all play and good times! Tulip is 100% wrestle and romp with all dogs around her. She is adventurous and bravely attempts to follow bigger dogs! They would all do great at dog parks once they are older and have all their vaccinations!

Their mom was a 45 pound lab/shepherd mix and she has a moderate energy  level. She needed a few walks a day and some backyard play, so we expect the same from the puppies as they get older.  When old enough, play sessions combined with daily walks should be enough to keep them mentally and physically challenged. They should be around 50-60 poounds when full grown-maybe just a little bigger than mom!

Birch and Pecan have the fuzzy shepherd coat and hound dog expressions. Olive has a unique light coat that changes daily. All of their ears cannot decide how they want to behave. Some stand straight up and others flop completely. One minute they are up and the next they are half up and half down. They love to “catch” their toys and shake them so hard that they fall over. Each pup has something unique about their personality and appearance but they are all little investigators searching for games to play and people to visit!

All these little ones need families to teach them everything! These 8 week old babies are true social butterflies that LOVE a good party! They will make great family dogs as long as they can share their curiosity and love with everyone around them!!
