Vet visits went great! All pups cleared their checkups without any issue
Blue: 4.3lb: This guy is a sweet, gentle boy is pretty attentive and easy going. He makes great eye contact and is curious and interested in what people are doing (but needs reassurance from the person he trusts before diving into a new experience head first). He will absolutely thrive with someone who is prepared to socialized him well from a young age, and who wants a loyal companion. He has a wavy fleece coat and is built quite stocky. He rated "neutral and somewhat passive" on the temperament testing scale below (8N's, 3P).
Orange: 4.1lb: Mr. Orange has been stealing hearts with his sweet temperament. He has a lovely middle-of-the-road personality and seems to hang out well with anyone during playtime, rotating between play with siblings and attention from us. He loves to play and sleep on his back. He rated "very neutral, leaning passive" on the temperament testing scale below (10 N's, 1 P).
Red: 5.2lb: I cannot get over this boys precious personality! He is a confident, alert, and ready to play. He is the class clown who keeps us laughing with all the silly antics he gets into. He is playful, loving, and thrives on attention. He is a bit of a goofball. He has a wavy fleece coat. He rated "neutral leaning assertive" on the temperament testing scale (9 N's, 2A).
Green: 5.5lb: This gentle giant has quite a bit of retriever style about him with his sweet, gentle spirit. He often prefers calm cuddles to active play. He enjoys socializing with dogs and people but independent enough that he doesn't cling on to you. Mr. Green has a wavy fleece coat and is very stocky in build . Because he is so stocky, he may end up weighing a bit more than the expected litter range (but he won't seem huge, just heavy). He rated "neutral leaning passive" on the temperament testing scale below (9 N's, 2 P's).
Mint: 4.6lb: Mint is a goofy girl who loves playtime with his siblings. She is loving and playful towards all humans and dogs alike. After playtime she is more than happy to lay right next to you and wants to be petted. Mint has a lovely wavy fleece coat and the coolest moustache in town! Like all the others, she rated "very neutral, leaning assertive" on the temperament testing scale below (10 N's, 1 A).
Yellow: 2.6lb: This girl is the sweetheart of the bunch! She really enjoys human interaction and plays with her paws, waving at us when she wants attention. She enjoys her siblings, but really loves human interaction too. She has a wavy fleece coat. is estimated to land BELOW the estimated weight range, we are thinking 20-25ish lb. She rated "very neutral" on the temperament testing scale (11 N's).
Purple: 4.8lb: This easy going girl has a very middle of the road temperament, great combination of playful and cuddly, while also being independent and social with others. Ms. Purple has a wavy fleece coat. She rated "very neutral leaning passive" on her temperament testing scale below (10 N's, 1 P).
Pink: 3.6lb: This happy girl and Purple have similar demeanors. Pink is a middle of the road gal who won't cling to you, but will check-in for pets and scratches between play sessions with her siblings. She makes good eye contact with people and is smart, she thinks before dives in to something new. She is on the smaller end of the litter size but we still expect her to fall in the expected range, around 25lb or so. She has a wavy fleece coat. She rated "neutral leaning passive" on her temperament testing scale below (9N, 2P's).

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 gain confidence.
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 more impulse control when stimulated than an all A pup. 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!
Example- 1st choice only needs to send me their favorite puppy, 3rd choice needs to send me their top 3 in order of most to least preferred pup.
