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!"

Puppy Vet Exams:
Our vet is EXTREMELY thorough! We describe puppy vet exams in three different ways... perfect, normal, or abnormal.
Perfect exams mean that the vet didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Normal exams are when pups have something worth noting, but these things are common in young puppies and not expected to impact long term health. It is not unusual for puppies to have imperfect exams at this age. They are growing at a rapid pace, and this sometimes results in awkward phases. In fact, sometimes we have more pups in a litter with "normal" exams than "perfect" exams! Normal exam findings will likely either correct themselves with age or need simple correction at the time of spay/neuter. Examples of "normal" exams include pups with small under or overbites, small umbilical hernias, "innocent" heart murmurs (grade of 1 out of 6) which are expected to go away within a couple vet visits, or missing a testicle (sometimes they don't both "drop" until pups are much older). We will ALWAYS notify you of any such things on the first vet visit, and you are NOT required to take a pup that you do not feel comfortable with due to any finding at a vet exam which concerns you. We will only allow pups to go home if we feel comfortable that the issue is benign/likely to go away with age.
Abnormal exams are when pups have an exam that concerns us for their long term health. An example of this would be severe patellar luxation (extremely loose knee joints- very different than typical puppy laxity), a loud heart murmur (ex, 4 out of 6), cataracts, etc. In these situations, where the severity of the issue in question may impact their long term health, we "pull" the puppy from the reservation list and they are no longer available until we can either wait for the next exam of have the pup checked by a specialist, depending on the issue. We have been very blessed in that every single pup we have ever had to pull from a list due to an abnormal exam has ended up being just fine and the condition went away with age! Still- we don't let pups go to new homes until we are comfortable that they can live normal, happy lives.

These beautiful babes are crawling around their pen with surprising speed! Mommy Sadie is a natural- she checks her babies often but is beginning to spend more time away from them (which is normal and healthy as they start to wean). They are beginning to eat "puppy cereal" and doing well on solids. They have been introduced to the potty grid, and while they don't have perfect aim yet, they are on track! Puppies had their first bath this week as well.

Eyes Open Photos/Pupdate on December 31st (3 weeks of age)!
Sadie's little babies are doing very well! Sadie is feeding them often... they are growing by leaps and bounds. Their eyes are open and they are beginning to toddle actively about their whelping box. We are excited to hopefully introduce them to the toddler pen this week.
Newborn Photos/Pupdate on December 17th (1 week of age):
Welcome to the world, precious babies! Sadie had 6 beautiful babies. Mom and pups are doing well, every pup nursed immediately and was a healthy birth weight. They are all growing at a normal and are thriving!
