5th Pupdate:
Sadie and Addie's litters have started interacting together this week, and are now all together almost full time! They have had a big week with all sorts of new experiences, including play time with new people of all ages, meeting new adult dogs (safe/vaccinated), 2 car rides, getting their toes wet in a pool, meeting a cat, and meeting our chickens! They are spending more time out on the puppy patio and will continue to do so daily (weather permitting) until they join their new home.
Ms. Yellow: This gentle little girl is the smallest in the bunch and such a sweetheart. She is a happy little tail-wagger that likes to give kisses. She rated passive/neutral on her temperament testing. 2lb
Ms. Purple: This beautiful girl with soft curls has a gentle, intelligent demeanor. She makes good eye contact and loves gentle cuddles. I expect that she will be very attached and devoted to her family. She rated primarily neutral (leaning passive) on her temperament testing. 2lb 6oz
Mr. Red: This handsome little guy is a hoot! He is extremely expressive and personable. He loves attention and playtime, and is going to bring non-stop laughter to his forever family. He rated primarily neutral on his temperament testing. 2lb 1oz
Mr. Green: This guy is absolutely stunning! His soft curls and expressive puppy eyes draw you in, but his super cuddly demeanor is what will absolutely melt your heart. He is a snuggle-butt and a great combination of playful yet cuddly. He rated primarily neutral on his temperament testing. 2lb 9oz
Mr. Blue: This little lovebug has a precious, snuggly personality. He likes his belly to be rubbed and will look into your eyes with complete adoration! He is always up for a calm cuddle session and belly scratch. He rated primarily neuatral (leaning passive) on his temperament testing. 2lb 5oz

Vet Exam Information:
These babies are SO little that we decided to hold of no their vet visit (and 1st vaccines) until July 6th. This gives them a little more time to grow up before being vaccinated. We will post at the bottom of this section once they get their exams. Our vet is EXTREMELY thorough, which we love. He makes a point to note everything about each pup after a thorough examination. We describe puppy vet exams in three different ways... perfect, normal, or abnormal.
A perfect exam is what it sounds like, it means that the vet didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and so no notes are made on that pup's record sheet. It is unusual for every pup in a litter to get a perfect vet exam.
A normal exam is when a pup has something worth noting, but it is not expected to impact the health of the pup, or quality as a pet. 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 generally correct themselves with age, or (in the case of an umbilical hernia) may need a very simple correction at the time of spay/neuter. Examples of imperfect, but normal puppy exams include a small under or overbite, a small umbilical hernia, an low grade heart murmur (which is expected to go away as the pup grows), or a missing a testicle (sometimes they don't both "drop" until a pup is older). We will ALWAYS notify you of any such things at the first vet visit, and you are NOT required to take a pup that you do not feel comfortable with due to any exam finding, even if it is a somewhat normal finding for a growing pup. We will only allow pups to go home if we feel comfortable that the issue is benign or will 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.

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:
Accidentally didn't "publish" so the website didn't update as usual. This was written 6/13 and videos/pics taken 6/14.
Sadie's sweeties have been introduced to the potty pan, they are doing SO well! They are beginning to play more actively with one another and with toys. We are seeing their little personalities peek through:
Ms. Yellow: 1lb 5oz A Sadie clone! Funny enough, Sadie was a yellow collar pup as well. We have already decided to hold this girl back as our litter pick.
Ms. Purple: 1lb 9oz The sweet, calm, collected little girl in the bunch. Ms. Purple is happy to chill with you and give you kisses. Confident enough to explore without her siblings and do her own thing.
Mr. Red: 1lb 6oz If you like a BIG goofy personality, here is your boy. Red is quite a ham and loves nothing more than attention and playtime.
Mr. Green: 1lb 11oz Oh my GOODNESS what a beautiful boy Green is, with his soft curls. He has a kind, happy-go-lucky temperament. He can't decide if he likes to play or cuddle more.
Mr. Blue: 1lb 9oz Mr. Blue is an old soul, he is a sweet, cuddly boy with an easy going temperament.

3rd Pupdate:
Sadie's sweet litter has gotten much more mobile this week and are beginning to toddle around the pen and play with one another.
