Happy Birthday To Harper's Litter! 12/21/2019
Harper delivered 6 beautiful pups on the 21st! The pups have been fabulous! All are healthy and growing.

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!"

Stella's sweethearts went to the vet today. Everyone had great veterinary exams. The only pup who had any note made on his exam sheet was Mr. Green, who has a teeny scar on his eye from the eye infection he had as a 2 week old. Our vet assured me that many dogs who scratch their eye, etc. will have a scar afterwards, and that this does not impact his vision or will cause any future problems (it may become invisible as he grows).

Ms. Yellow: This loving girl is cuddly, loving, and attentive! She is a little explorer who is able to entertain herself a bit (but she isn't standoffish, she LOVES people). 4lbs 5oz
Mr. Blue: What a HAM! This handsome, hunky fella is super fun! He is clumsy, playful, and an all around happy pup. Like everyone else in this litter, he loves people! 4lbs 11oz
Ms. Pink: Little Pink is the quiet, sweet sister of the bunch. She enjoys gentle playtime and has an easy going temperament. She has a serious expression, but don't let that fool you, she is also a cuddle bug. 3lbs 9oz
Mr. Green: This little booger is PRECIOUS! This boy doesn't walk, he prances :) He is full of personality and makes good eye contact. He is one smart cookie! 4lbs 6oz
Mr. Red: This precious cutie has such a sweet personality. He is easy going, gentle, and gives sweet kisses when you hold him. He loves other dogs and all people. 4lbs 2oz
