Pick Me Pupdate
We are enjoying Ginger's litter so much! These 4 are all so sweet, it is going to be sad to see them go. They are all doing very well as they transition to kibble, and while mommy Ginger doesn't spend as much time in the pen as she once did (ouch- sharp teeth) she still hops in short burst to give them a snack and to say hello. We really hope may be able to venture outside for the first time soon if long as the weather cooperates (right now it is too cold and there are too many puddles)!
Ms. Purple: Ms. Purple is oh so teeny with the most petite little features! She is a little sweetheart that prefers calm cuddles to active playtime. She needs a few minutes to warm up to new situations, but will gain confidence and continue to come out of her shell in the right home. She will thrive with another confident dog in the home! 1lb 15oz
Ms. Yellow: RESERVED BY RED SPRING FARM 2lb 5oz
Mr. Blue: Mr. Blue has a lovely, middle-of-the-road temperament. He is happy playing, or cuddling. Whatever you are doing, he is just happy to be part of it. He is always waiting intently at the puppy gate the second he hears my footsteps in the morning, just waiting for a pat on the head. He is the smaller of the two boys and has the classic doodle look, lovely coat and face shape.2lb 3oz
Mr. Red: Mr. Red is the gentle "giant" of the group (he is still quite small)! He is extremely thoughtful and expressive, it is almost like you know what he is thinking. He enjoys companionship of any kind... just loves being around all humans, any dogs, and of course his litter mates. 2lb 11oz

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!"

Ms. Purple: Ms. Purple is the little sweetheart of this bunch! She loves to cuddle in your lap rather than explore, and will likely bond tightly with her person. 1lb 6oz
Ms. Yellow: Ms. Yellow is a wild child who is up for anything, very peppy and energetic! 2lb 1oz
Mr. Blue: Mr. Blue is an easy going, happy to lucky guy. He will "ask" for attention by pawing at your hand! 1lb 15oz
