 Luna has officially weaned her pups, and these angel's will be ready to go home on 08/17. They are all so sweet, loving, and friendly- each and every one will make a fabulous addition to their lucky families. Luna outdid herself before retiring! EVERY PUPPY had a perfect vet exam- way to go puppies!

Ms. Orange: Miss Orange is a playful, gentle soul who really adores interacting with people! She will play-bow and run behind you while you sit, almost as if playing hide-and-go-seek! She has a sweet disposition and likes to play with toys. This cutie pie had a perfect vet exam today :) 4.2lbs

​Ms. Aqua: This girl is smart and playful! She reminds me of her mommy Luna- confident, fun, and beautiful. She enjoys interacting with other dogs. She enjoys playing with toys and has a natural drive to run for balls and toys. This cutie pie had a perfect exam today :) 4.7lbs

Ms. Purple: This little fireball is adorable! Her tail wagged the entire time we were at the vet. She is, by far, the smallest pup in the litter, but being pushed around has given her a "get back up and go" attitude. Her small stature doesn't slow her down, she can keep up with her littermates! This cutie pie had a perfect vet exam today :) 3.2lbs

Ms. Pink: Miss Pink is the doll baby of the bunch. She has a super, duper sweet, loving, gentle attitude. She is naturally submissive like her daddy Rocky, and thrives on praise and cuddles.  She is calm and gentle when interacting with people, and very sweetly accepts cuddles and praise. This cutie pie had a perfect vet exam today :) 4.1lbs

Mr. Green: What a HAM! This boy is a big goofball who likes to play with his siblings and has got strikingly beautiful markings. He is a bigger pup within the group and is lean and lanky compared to some of the chunky pups in his litter. He is loving towards people and enjoys being petted. This handsome hunk had a perfect vet exam today :) 4.9lbs

Mr. Red: Mr. Red is such a sweet chunky teddy bear. He is sweet, snuggly, and really wants to love on you! He is naturally submissive like his daddy Rocky, and is such a cuddly booger. He is on the stocky side compared to his siblings. This boy and Ms. Yellow are extremely similar in temperament. This handsome hunk had a perfect vet exam today :) 4.9lbs

Ms. Yellow: Ms. Yellow is a classic cuddle bug! She is sweet as can be and wants nothing more than to hang out with you and snuggle in your arms. She is a chunky monkey who seeks to please you. She is on the stocky side compared to her siblings. This gal and Mr. Red are extremely similar in temperament. This cutie pie had a perfect vet exam today :) 4.9lbs

Mr. Black: This goofy boy is super playful and independent. When he isn't roughhousing with his siblings he is exploring new toys or going further than he has before in the yard. He likes to use his "paws" to swat at the air during play. This handsome hunk had a perfect vet exam today :) 4.9lbs

Mr. Navy
: Mr. Navy is a confident, athletic pup who is active, intelligent, and likes to carry leaves and toys in his mouth! He is extremely playful with his siblings but settles down when you hold him.  He is vocal and will yip at you if you "bark" at him. Such a cutie! This handsome hunk had a perfect vet exam today :) 4.5lbs

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!"


08.02.19 - 6th Pupdate

Goodness gracious Luna's litter is adorable! They are doing fabulously and growing well. We will begin really limiting their access to Luna this week as they begin the weaning process (I think Luna would feed them forever if she could)! The whole litter is active and healthy. I look forward to seeing how puppy selection week goes next Saturday (8/10).

Ms. Orange: Miss Orange is a sweet, easy going gal. She enjoys short bursts of playtime, with relaxation in between. She is a gentle, sweet girl who enjoys calm cuddles. 
​Ms. Aqua: This gal is beautiful! She has an active brain and you can see it in her eyes when her "wheels are turning". She has a lovely square built head and body, and makes good eye contact.
Ms. Purple: This itty bitty gal is full of pep and fun! She may be the smallest in the litter but that doesn't slow her down or reduce her confidence. She has an adorable curly tail.
Ms. Pink: Miss Pink is precious! She makes good eye contact and has an easy going disposition. She is thoughtful and likes human attention and praise.
Mr. Green: This guy is super playful and "top dog" among his siblings. He is loving and sweet with people. He has a goofy, all boy personality and is a ton of fun! He likes to carry around toys.
Mr. Red: Mr. Red is really precious. He has a naturally submissive, easy going, happy temperament, and enjoys playtime with his siblings. He is very cuddly and likes to be petted and held.
Ms. Yellow: This sweet gal is all about people! The last video really did not allow her personality to shine through, I will be posting a longer one on Monday. She is naturally submissive, easy going, and an all around exceptionally sweet pup who craves human attention.
Mr. Black: This handsome hunk is a mess! He is all play and he likes to be goofy and to rough house with his siblings. He makes fabulous eye contact and has got a great square head.
Mr. Navy
: Mr. Navy is precious! He is cuddly, playful, and makes good eye contact. He actively seeks to please and is a smart boy who will thrive with someone who likes to train. 

07.26.19 - 5th Pupdate

I really want to thank you for your patience this week. A quick update on my dad: He is still in the hospital (2.5 hours from my home), but he is doing well and is spending his first night alone tonight. He is on the road to recovery and will be moved to a rehab center next week. Now for the PUPPIES! They are doing very well and I have wonderful friends and family members who were willing to help out while I was gone. It is amazing how much these babies grow and change, it becomes even more obvious when you don't see them every day.
​
Ms. Orange: This girl has come to life this week. She is still pretty easy going but has spurts of playfulness as well. 3lbs 2oz
Ms. Aqua: This sweetheart is hilarious! She is full of personality, vocal, and playful. She has a striking build and stands very tall and square. 2lbs 12oz
Ms. Purple: Little Purple is precious! I definitely think she will land on the small end of the expected weight range, she is quite petite with a smaller head and paws than her littermates. She is confident and silly. 2lbs 6oz
Ms. Pink: Miss Pink is a real sweetheart, she reminds me a lot of her dad (naturally submissive, extremely loving, and makes great eye contact). 2lbs 7oz
Mr. Green: This fella doesn't let anything stand in the way of getting what he wants! He has a big personality and is the puppy in charge of this litter. He is confident, and quite a big boy (partially because he really likes food)! 3lbs 8oz
Mr. Red: This cool "dood" has a great personality. He is mellow but still a lot of fun, with a personable temperament. 2lbs 12oz
Ms. Yellow: This sweetie is so chill and happy. I have caught her wagging her tail in her sleep when I start talking, which really sums up her personality. She is very loving. 3lbs
Mr. Black: Mr. Personality this guy still knows how to work the camera and is a rough and tumble kind of guy. He is built a little leaner than some of his littermates, but it seems like he is always the one making the tackle. He likes playing with people and will bark at squeaky toys. 2lbs 10oz
Mr. Navy
: I really love this pups eye contact, and he is already naturally manding (sitting for attention). This sweet boy is an adventurer who likes to explore new spaces (and then settles down nicely to cuddle). 2lbs 14oz

07.19.19- 4th Pupdate

Luna's little ones are doing great and growing rapidly. We got a little mixed up with our litter "pupdates" and were a week ahead, they will actually be introduced to the litter pan THIS week (sorry)! Luna will be thankful, as this means that their cramped "house" will finally be expanded. Luna, as always, is a superb mommy!

Ms. Orange: This gal is relaxed and enjoys a good cuddle. 2lbs 10oz
Ms. Aqua: This sweetheart is the life of the party! She is photogenic and playful. 2lbs 8oz
Ms. Purple: The smallest of the solid colored pups, she is sweet and FAST for her age. 2lbs 4oz
Ms. Pink: Something about this little girl is SO endearing, she is confident and enjoys attention. 2lbs 2oz
Mr. Green: An escape artist already, this fella got out two days in a row! He is food motivated and a chunky dood. 2lbs 12oz
Mr. Red: Thoughtful, fun, and smart, Mr. Red is one cool pup! He makes good eye contact already. 2lb 8oz
Ms. Yellow: This sweetie has really mellowed out this week compared to last. Still, she seems to always be at the front of the pen to greet me when I am nearby. 2lb 8oz
Mr. Black: Gosh this "dood" strikes a pose every time I take a photo, he looks right at the camera! A rowdy boy who likes to sleep upside down. 2lbs 6oz
Mr. Navy: This fella is similar to Black in that he seems to always be ready for the camera. He makes good eye contact and is cuddly as can be. 2lbs 8oz

07.12.19- 3rd Pupdate

The crew is doing well. Everyone is gaining each week and eyes are all open! They are beginning to toddle about their pen with more speed, and will be introduced to the litter pan this week. Luna is being a wonderful mommy (as always). This is the youngest litter here and it is still a little difficult to determine personalities just yet, but I will still include a brief description of what we see so far.

Ms. Orange: This girl is a little on the lazy side, most of the time playtime involves a siblings coming to her rather than her "chasing" them.
Ms. Aqua: A bit of a drama queen (in a funny way)! She will howl for mom when she is ready to eat.
Ms. Purple: SO cute, this little girl is playful with her siblings.
Ms. Pink: This itty bitty gal motors all over the toddler pen, she loves to play and even chases her siblings.
Mr. Green: This chunky monkey spends most of his time chilling out, but jumps right up when mom joins them! He loves to eat.
Mr. Red: Something about this guy is so cool! He toddles towards people and seems to be very interested in humans.
Ms. Yellow: This feminine girl is inquisitive and interested in exploring new things.
Mr. Black: Handsome guy! He makes good eye contact already.
Mr. Navy: Loves being held and even gives kisses!
