7th Pupdate:

Thanks for your patience while we had a lot of down time on the puppy cam the last couple days! Pups will be back up and rolling this weekend until the day before take home day. Please refer to our Take Home page if you haven't already for additional information about what to expect when you pick up your pup! All of Harper's babies went to the vet this week- and all had PERFECT vet exams. They were a hit at the vet, excited to visit the new place and interact with all the techs. We watch them closely after their first vaccines and everyone reacted normally. 

Ms. Violet: 3lbs 11oz: Ms. Violet is the perfect combination of sweet and spunky! She is still a little adventurer and has had a blast playing outside this week. 
Ms. Yellow:  3lbs 7oz: This sweet, playful girl is a little cuddle bug! She is a little sweetheart.
Ms. Pink: 3lbs 14oz: This fun girl is up for playtime with anyone- she doesn't meet a stranger! 100% happy go lucky.
Ms. Orange: 3lbs 0oz: This wild child is a little ball of energy and will make you laugh for days with her antics!
Mr. Red: 3lbs 4oz: What a little love bug! Mr. Red is a sweet little fella who wanted to please and cuddle.
Mr. Blue: 4lbs 0oz: Blue is easy going, playful, and an all all-around happy "dood" with a middle of the road temperament.
Mr. Green: 3lbs 7oz: Not only is this little fella gorgeous, he has a heart of gold! He is gentle, sweet, and affectionate towards everyone he meets.

6th Pupdate:

These sweet ones went from being toddlers to active, playful puppies! They are really enjoying their playtime in the big playpen, and we are loving each one of their lovely personalities. This litter as a whole litter is pretty mellow, pleasant, and quiet. 

Ms. Violet: 3lbs 10oz: Ms. Violet is a thoughtful, independent girl with bright eyes. She has really become a little adventurer in the last week and enjoys exploring new things.
Ms. Yellow:  3lbs 4oz: Oh my goodness, Yellow's litter personality has been bursting at the seams this week, she is so funny and playful! She enjoys nap time on her back with her legs up in the air.
Ms. Pink: 3lbs 11oz: This sweet girl is still playful and goofy as ever, but she has simmered down a little and shown her calm side. She loves cuddle time and is eager to play with plush toys.
Ms. Orange: 2lbs 15oz: This gal is a hoot. She is the smallest in the group, but she has energy to spare and is so FAST- zooming everywhere. She loves people and puppies alike.
Mr. Red: 3lbs 1oz: Mr. Red is such a love bug! He is easy going (for a puppy) and enjoys gentle playtime with people more than anything. He does have a silly side- check out the extra gallery photo from this week, HA!
Mr. Blue: 3lbs 11oz: Last weeks pupdate is holding true with this guy- he has such a lovely demeanor and is friendly and happy when meeting any other being (whether it  be a human, puppy, chicken, or pony)! He definitely inherited that happy-go-lucky retriever personality :)
Mr. Green: 3lbs 5oz: The sweetheart of the group! Mr. Green is such a sweet little lover who wants nothing more than to cuddle up with you and enjoy belly rubs. He really enjoys interacting with our older, calmer dogs- who are less likely to pull on his ears than his wild siblings. His loose curls are to die for!


PUPPY SELECTIONS ARE POSTED ABOVE NEXT TO YOUR NAME!
​Thanks for your patience and for the smooth selection day!


5th Pupdate/Temperament Testing

These sweet ones went from being toddlers to active, playful puppies! They are really enjoying their playtime in the big playpen, and we are loving each one of their lovely personalities. This litter as a whole litter is pretty mellow, pleasant, and quiet. 

Ms. Violet: 3lbs 0oz: This sweetie has gained some independence this week, and reminds me a lot of mommy Harper, so intelligent! She is likely going to land around the middle of the expected size range.  With her temperament testing she scored as a primarily neutral puppy (10 N's, 1 P).
Ms. Yellow:  2lbs 10oz: This gorgeous red curly gal is such a cuddle bug. She likes to cuddle up in your lap during play time, and makes good eye contact. She will likely land low-mid in the expected size range. With her temperament testing she scored as a primarily neutral puppy (9 N's, 2 P's).
Ms. Pink: 3lbs 0oz: Ms. Pink's personality has boomed this week! She is playful and goofy as can be. She likes to explore and cuddle!! She will likely land on the mid-high end of the expected size range. With her temperament testing she scored as a neutral puppy (11 N's).
Ms. Orange: 2lbs 6oz: Like Pink, Orange's big personality really boomed this week! She is an active girl with bright, intelligent eyes. She is feisty and has a blast interacting with the older pups and adults we have here. She will likely land low-mid int he expected size range. With her temperament testing she scored as a neutral puppy (11 N's).
Mr. Red: 2lbs 10oz: This handsome dood will melt your heart! He is an easy going fella, who likes gentle cuddles and playing with his siblings. He has a middle of the road temperament within the litter. He will likely land in the middle of the expected size range. With his temperament testing he scored as a primarily neutral puppy (10 N's, 1 P).
Mr. Blue: 3lbs 3oz: This beautiful fella has big, blocky features like a Golden Retriever (look at that head!) and a heart of gold. He is extremely playful and people-oriented. He is likely going to be on the larger end of the expected size range. With his temperament testing, he scored as a neutral puppy (11 N's). 
Mr. Green: 2lbs 14oz: Don't you just want to wrap this teddy bear up? This fella is striking, with a beautiful, expressive face and the sweetest personality to match. He is submissive and cuddly, loves to be held and have his belly rubbed. He is likely going to land on he mid-large end of the expected sized range. With his temperament testing he scored as a primarily neutral puppy, he scored more P's than some of his siblings (8 N's, 3 P's) but this doesn't mean he is the most passive pup- he just melts when he is cuddled HA!

All A's: This dominant puppy is extremely bright and interactive. Raising him will take concentration, consistency and time and an experienced owner is recommended. They can be extremely rewarding pets for someone who wants to have a highly trained companion or competition dog of some sort (Agility, dock diving, etc). 

All N's: Easy going and contained, "All N" puppies will be pleasant and an ideal pet for most families. These middle-of-the-road pups are confident enough that they won't live for their owner's approval and guidance like a "P" puppy would (N pups can be stubborn at times) but they won't be as defiant as an "A" puppy can be. 

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. With proper socializing, "P" pups can "built up" to make excellent family dogs and tend to be very attached to their owners. 
​
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" puppy. "A/N" puppies are great for loud/active families that want a pup with lots of personality and confidence, but that are not nearly as intense as "all A" puppies.

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 household.


4th Pupdate/Selection Information/Final Payment

Y'all! This litter is SOOOO cute!!! Lucy is weaning her litter, but she has stepped in and is feeding Harper's babies often along with Harper (awww). All babies are growing at a rapid  pace and getting so CHUNKY.

Important Information below- please read thoroughly and mark dates in your calendar!!!


1) Selection Day
Puppy selections are done remotely (NOT in person) in the order of the reservation list. This litter's selection day is on Saturday, August 1st


To make your selection, your family must create a list from your first pick puppy to last pick puppy from all of the puppies in this litter. You must email it to me no later than 6PM on selection day (August 1st). Pupdates, photos, videos, and temperament testing is provided on this page to help you with your decision, and of course I am available to discuss any additional questions at any time this week. Please try to email me any questions by Friday evening so that I have time Saturday to respond to everyone (if you have lots of questions, do not hesitate to number them and shoot them all to me in one email, then I can knock them all out at once)!

I will begin at the 1st family on the reservation list, assign them the next available puppy that is highest on their selection list, and then move on to the next family's list and repeat the process. I will continue in this manner until everyone has a puppy.

If you fail to submit your selection list and cannot be contacted via the phone number submitted on your application, this will result in your name being moved to the bottom of the reservation list. This date is posted well in advance above, and it is your responsibility to reach out to us with your decision!
