4 puppies headed home today. ❤

Green went to be a family hunting dog. He's going to be awesome! He was retrieving birds for me during bird testing day.
Red is going to be a wonderful family dog. She's super sweet.
Purple is going to be a therapy girl and family dog. I think this is a great fit for her temperament. She's very calm.
Brown is going to be a fantastic dog for his family. They wanted a puppy with a good off switch and he has that.

Pending pick up.

Mr yellow boy is searching for a family to love. He has plenty of go when it's time to go with a good off switch. He's interested in birds. Loves people and likes to snuggle. Confident. Low sound sensitivity. Beautiful structure! Just a nice boy all around. 9 weeks tomorrow.

I'll drop the test breeding link and my website with more info on parents in the comments.

Short turns in the crate tonight with and without the door closed. They all did great. Hardly any whining.

Rosie x Reggie Puppies week 7.

We went to the ponds this week which they greatly enjoyed. They have climbed all over Tommy's fencing post stack chasing the kittens. Almost no potty messes most days. Lots of exploring the ravines around our place which is great for figuring out balance and different types of terrain and surfaces.

I am loving their temperaments. Very sweet pups. There is a range in energy levels, which is normal, but they all have a good off switch. They should be nice family dogs.

A family had to back out due to a death in her family so I now have 2 puppies available.

Rosie received her WC with the COGRC a year and a half ago. They are such a fun welcoming group. This looks like a lot of fun!

We drove the puppies over to the ponds after lunch for their adventure walk. Lots of new sights and smells. They had their first crate intro this morning. They've had a busy day!

Rosie and Reggie 6 weeks!

1 puppy looking for a family. I can do girl or boy thanks to several families willing to take either which is very helpful! I match puppies to families using applications and temperament testing results.

They are doing fantastic. Using the potty box 90% of the time. First bird intros this week. They LOVED the birds. We started going on adventure walks this week and they all did good staying together and navigating through tall grass and up and down hills. About half of them have figured out Sit and we're continuing to work on that. I've been using a whistle to call them up for meals (because that's something the new owners can replicate easily at home) and they come very reliably to the whistle right now.

Very nice even temperaments. Planning to start on crate exposure this next week.

I added my observations on each puppy in the captions. These are NOT temperament testing results, just what I'm noticing right now.
