This is Mr. Yellow (DJ Trump) Bold, unafraid and brash like his namesake.

Mr. Yellow is 4.5 out of 5 on the structure scale and a solid 3 on the puppy aptitude temperament scale.

Good with people and other animals. He has an exceptional nose and keen to sniff. Would make an excellent detection dog. Needs a job and training, learns quickly. Can be a high-energy pup and may need lots of exercise and to be challenged. Terrific dog for a skilled handler.

This is Mr. Lime Green (“Slim” Pickens)

Mr. Lime Green is 3.8 out of 5 on the structure scale, may be a smaller boy. He ranks 2-3 on the puppy aptitude temperament scale.

Good combination of a drive and steadiness, this pup loves to learn and be challenged. Good with people and other animals and would be happy just hanging out with you. He loves to run and play, and swims like a fish! No matter what activity you pick, he will be easy to train and will shine with little effort.

This is Mr. Orange (Gordo) is one cool dude.

Mr. Orange is 4.5 out of 5 on the structure scale and a 3-4 on the puppy aptitude temperament scale.

He loves to run and fetch, swims well. He has a nice “off switch” ... and like his daddy, he is a happy boy. The kind of pup that makes the perfect companion. Easy to train, quiet and thoughtful.

Pick this pup, take an obedience or sport class and you’ll be an ace without having to do too much.

We would like to extend a sincere apology to anyone who’s attempted to contact us via Facebook in the last few weeks.

As Facebook moves businesses over to the Meta Suite, it’s proven quite challenging to receive our messages or be notified of their existence.

We are trying a new method of obtaining these messages now.

Thank you for your patience!
