Puppies are growing so fast!

The nine Mr Rogers Litter puppies (Essex/Meriwether) are now 8 weeks old!

Most all of the puppies have their ears up and are looking so grown up already.

My favorite little personality in this litter is Mr. Rogers.

He is precious beyond belief.

He waits for me at the entrance, placing one small paw on the gate. He knows he shouldn’t jump up onto the gate, but one paw is acceptable, he feels. When I open the gate, he jumps back. He knows the rule of getting out of the way so that I don’t step on their toes when I walk in.

Very smart and aware.

I also love his chubby cheeks.

Only one more family on the waiting list to get through with this litter. Once that family chooses a puppy or passes for a different litter, the remaining puppy will be for sale OFF THE WAITING LIST.

Once that happens, it is a first-come-first-serve basis. I will not hold puppies when selling off the waiting list. That is what a waiting list if for.

This could happen any day. So check the “puppies for sale” page if you have been waiting for this moment to grab one of our puppies.

The four Dock of the Bay puppies (Essex/Narissa) are now 7 weeks old!

Only one puppy remains for sale from this litter. I have several families on the waiting list to speak with still.

Even though they are a week younger than the Mr. Rogers litter, they are larger and heavier.

Chunky is how I would describe them.

They are outwardly more “happy” than the Mr. Rogers Litter puppies.

They follow me everywhere I go when I am in their pen. I literally cannot take a step without the puppies right at my heels wanting to be close to me.

Great little bunch of puppies!

The seven Miners Litter puppies (Baluster/Opal) are really coming into their own personalities now.

There is no doubt they are smart.

Little Yellow Canary is small, but mighty!

They perk up whenever they hear my voice.

They know when I am near. When they sense my presence, they come over to the front gate for pets.

They are overall noticeably thinner in bone structure and head shape, but their aren’t as drastically different from our other puppies as I anticipated.

I did see a puppy fight over food once, which our puppies NEVER do, so there is some food dominance with other dogs. But, it isn’t overwhelming or anything, I simply noticed it once.

Of course, slightly more vocal. But again, it’s not drastically different. I don’t think anyone else would notice, but me.

They are quicker in their movements. As in… able to get from one place to another with a little more speed.

Oh… and they generally lick more… much more. That’s a thing, for sure. Especially Cobalt (red).

But, overall, a very nice litter.

The Miners Litter puppies are now four weeks old. In another three days, the weather warms up at night. At that point, we will place these puppies outside in between the Dock of the Bay and the Mr. Rogers Litter puppies.

We have just now started to go down the waiting list for this litter. Watch the list for your bolded name. We will contact you when it is your turn to choose.

And… if you haven’t yet gotten on our waiting list… we’ve been waiting for you!

Here’s the link to get the process started.
