:||• Green Girl •||:
This little one is still available and she is an absolute sweetheart! She is the snuggle-bug of the litter and has a playful and quirky personality. Green scored very well in her puppy evaluation and continues to impress us with her confidence in how she approaches new challenges.
•
She also has a little something special about her! There’s a little heart shaped mark on her right shoulder🖤 See if you can spot it in the video!
•
This rare mark, which looks like a black birthmark, is called a pigment somatic gene mutation. Golden retrievers are born with a base black coat, with a 'modifier gene' that turns them golden. Very rarely, when a puppy is an embryo the cells that determine coat color split differently leaving them with a pigmented section of their base coat. Pretty cool, huh?!
•
Our kids lovingly refer to her as…
🍀LUCKY🍀
Because her heart shaped mark is about as rare as finding a four-leaf clover!
Reach out if you think your family might be a perfect fit for her!
I interrupted pre-bedtime zoomies to capture a little video of “red” for her new family, and experienced a golden ambush! 🤣🐾
Sunday nail trims feel a little more like spa days to these puppies 🤍 #scoutstexasgoldens #goldenretrieverlife #puppylove
•PLAYTIME• We’re 4 weeks old and discovering how fun our litter mates are! #scoutstexasgoldens #goldenretrieverlife #puppylove
:||• Breakfast on the Patio •||:
It’s a beautiful sunshiny morning in Frisco, so naturally these pups booked a reservation for 12 for breakfast!
•
The puppies aren’t quite ready for full outside access (this will happen after they’ve received vaccines) so we brought out a small enclosure and served breakfast in a more controlled environment.
•
They loved chowing down while soaking up some warm sunshine ☀️

✨Pupdate✨
These pups are so stinkin smart and are doing excellent with eliminating in their designated area! We still get a few little puddles and poops that are a near miss of the trays, but the behavior analyst in me is thrilled with their approximations 🤓
Since they’re doing so well we trialed expanding their area today, and these pups were so excited! So many puppy zoomies that they all tuckered themselves out 💤
Sleep well sweet babies, when you wake you’ll be •FOUR WEEKS OLD•

•Intro to Puppy Mush today!• The puppies are 3 weeks old so they are having their first batch of puppy mush, which is made up of ground puppy food and goats milk. They LOVED it!
Smartie-pants Miss Gray is already rocking this potty training thing! 🤩 #scoutstexasgoldens #goldenretrieverlife #puppylove

:Cleaning the whelping box:
Keeping the whelping box clean is just one of the many ways we ensure the health of Scout and her puppies 🐾
Mamas will clean the bed area and the puppies continuously for the first several weeks, but ethical and responsible breeders will assist by cleaning this area several times daily to ensure the health of their animals.
:Here’s how we do it at Scout’s Texas Goldens:
