Here comes selection day! August 20th!
Puppy selections are done remotely (NOT in person) in the order of the reservation list.
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 20th). 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. Please try to email me any questions by the morning of selection day so I have time to respond (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!

5th Pupdate:
These babies are finally true puppies! They are playing with each other and their environment, and mom is only hopping in the puppy pen for brief periods to feed and clean her pups. They are doing very well with the potty tray.
Mr. Blue: 3lb 3oz- This fella enjoys the company of both people and other dogs, and is often caught sleeping upside-down. He has a playful, sweet personality.
Mr. Red: 3lb 2oz- This boy is a playful, gentle soul who really adores interacting with people! She has a sweet disposition and likes to play with people just about as much as he likes a cuddle.
Mr. Green: 3lb 4oz- What a sweet little boy this cutie is! He has a nice, middle-of-the-road temperament, not overly confident or overly reserved. He gets along with everyone, and is a tail wagger and a nose kisser.
Ms. Yellow: 3lb 5oz- This silly girl is super confident and playful! She has a happy wagging tail and wants to be everyone's friend.
Ms. Purple: 3lb 10oz-This big, sweet girl has always preferred gentle cuddles and pets, but suddenly we are beginning to see a more playful side emerge. She likes to hold toys in her mouth, and has the most lovely, expressive eyes.
Temperament Testing:
Using [A] for active response,
[N] for neutral and

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!"

4th Pupdate:
Scout's pups have started to interact with each other in a playful way, and we are excited to start potty training (using a potty grid) this week as we expand their pen. Temperaments are VERY immature and changing frquently- so take this week's personality updates with a "grain of salt". We expect to see more pronounced personality traits form this week.
Mr. Blue: 2lb 14oz- Blue boy has an easy going, middle of the road temperament about him, happy to do what everyone else is doing.
Mr. Red: 2lb 8oz- This handsome boy is very sweet and has the most expressive face. He prefers gentle cuddles to active play.
Mr. Green: 2lb 12oz- Such a cuddly little guy! He loves attention and belly scratches.
Ms. Yellow: 3lb 1oz- Inquisitive little gal, she is independent and likes to explore.
Ms. Purple: 3lb 6oz (!so chunky!)- This chunky monkey only has one thing on her mind... when does the "milk bar" open? She is quite the lazy little one, though I expect that this isn't here to stay!
