Pick Me Pupdate
Perfect vet exams for everyone except Mr. Green, who has a very small umbilical hernia. This is a very common puppyhood condition and nothing to worry about whatsoever considering how small it is. I am happy to discuss this more in-depth with any interested family. Addy's babies are thriving and are the most adorable little group. They are playful, friendly, with the happiest little personalities just like their mom and dad. They are well on their way to being fully weaned and chow hounds at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have moved from puppy cereal to dry kibble with no problems at all, and we have so enjoyed seeing their little personalities emerge...
Ms. Purple: RETAINED BY RED SPRING FARM 2lb 2oz
Mr. Green: This handsome guy has a lovely middle of the road temperament in just about every way... he goes with the flow and will be a great companion for just about any type of family. 2lb 15oz
Mr. Blue: This sweet guy is the smallest of the group- we may have inadvertently given him a little more attention because he is a little attention hog- he absolutely insists on being held or sit on your lap whenever possible, and will be happiest if he can be someone's shadow and cuddle buddy. He 1lb 13oz
Mr. Red: This guy is a confident, outgoing pup who will thrive in an active home! He would love a family with another canine companion, and he is even showing a propensity to enjoy the water (maybe a beach or lake pup)? He likes to carry little toys around and his little tail just never stops wagging when he is hanging out with people and other dogs. He has the most beautiful light eyes that will turn golden/amber as he grows. 2lb 12oz
Mr. Orange: Mr. Orange is sweet as can be and he reminds me SO much of mommy Addie! He is happy, playful, and loves cuddles and kisses. 2lb 3oz
Mr. Black: This handsome dood has an easy going disposition that is very people-oriented. He is happy as long as he is hanging with YOU! 2lb 9oz

All A's: This dominant puppy is bright and interactive. Raising him will take
concentration, consistency and time. His favorite expression is "What's Next!"
All N's: Easy going and contained, this puppy will be pleasant and self-assured, though
perhaps not terribly motivated to follow your agenda when it conflicts with his own. His
favorite expression is "Is it absolutely necessary?"
All P's: This puppy has a weak self-esteem and needs your reassurance to feel safe.
Without proper lessons and socialization, he'll be shy. His favorite expression: "It's been
3 minutes, do you still love me?"
Mix of A and N's: This active puppy will want to be in the middle of everything but will
show slightly more impulse control when stimulated. His favorite expression is: "Let's do
it again"
Mix of N and P's: This self-assured puppy will be easygoing and gentle yet with a
stronger sense of self than a completely passive puppy. Because he's more composed,
he'll be an ideal puppy for a calm house with or without older children.
Favorite expression: "Another back scratching please!"

Newborn Pupdate
Addie delivered 6 beautiful pups (1 girl and 5 boys) on 10/04/22. Addie surprised us with an early labor in the middle of the night at her guardian home (she was scheduled to come to Red Spring Farm the following morning)... I guess she wanted her retirement litter to be memorable! Luckily she kept all her buns in the oven until she arrived at Red Spring Farm. All puppies are chubby and thriving. This litter has both classic red/apricot puppies and the light-eyed caramels that we hoped for! We have our fingers crossed that her only female is a candidate for us to hold back as a future Red Spring Farm mommy, so only male pups will be available from this list. Should Ms. Purple work out for us she has already been given the name "Cinnamon" by Addie's human siblings. We look forward to seeing eyes open in a couple weeks :)
