Puppies are 8 weeks old!

Today the puppies got their first round of shots. I had waited a couple weeks extra....and might have waited a little longer if they were my own foster pups. At 6 weeks only 25% of puppies get any benefit from the vax...at 9 weeks only 60% of the puppies are protected. But since these guys will be ready for adoption soon, I figured I better get one in.




This is mommy--Joanie--looks like she might need a home as well.
She is a great dog. All around sweet-loves to sit and be pet and great in the house.



Pipsqueak/Sissy (still deciding)
She is very soft and will need a gentle home. The kids are drawn to her like a magnet but I would prefer she went to a home with no children or older children for her protection. She will do well in a calm home as a lap dog. She is really beautiful and looks the most froofy of all the pups.




This is Sassy. She is just like her name says, Sassy. But also sweet. She is going to be a great all around girl and would be happy most anywhere.




Rambo (sometimes we call him Chumbo). He is twice the size of his littlest litter mate. He is also very bold and the most dominant pup. He will do well in a home with a loving/assertive owner. He seems like he might be the kind to challenge you. These types of dogs might take more work but the payoff can be huge. As he grows up he may play too hard for small children.



Waggs.
My favorite.
He is always wagging that tail. Very laid back and go with the flow kind of guy. Doesn't like drama so a quiet home will be a better fit for him. Loves to cuddle.




Scrappy.
He is a Scrappy little guy. Small and the short coated version in the litter. He is Mr. All-around. The most sporty of the group as well.






Each of these pups is going to be a great dog!
They all have great temperaments and we are guessing they will be 20-30lbs-ish?
Hard to tell for sure.
Will be ready for their new homes soon...if we can let them go :)
