And then there were three...

With only three pups remaining our house is much more quiet.  Yesterday we were out exploring the fields, woods and water.  The pups were down to the lake watching Hailey as she recieved some retrieval work.  Once again they couldn't contain themselves just sitting on the dock watching mama work.  Within minutes the pup with the purple collar was in the water swimming around.  While he was swimming around Belle (Red collar) and Tucker (green collar) began wrestling around in the sand.  Eventually these two went in for a swim and all three retrieved the dummy I tossed for them.

Today all three were in for a visit to the vet for their 8 week shots and their second dose of de-wormer.  Our next visit will be in roughly 4 weeks.  Below are a couple of videos of Purple, Tucker, and Belle retrieving a dummy.

For those of you interested the pup with the purple collar is still available.  Please contact me via phone or email if you'ld like more information or would like to come and take a look at him.  Like all of his siblings, he truely is a wonderful looking pup.

Off to new homes...

The long awaited 7th week has finally come with 4 girls and 3 boys being placed to new homes.  Their new families couldn't have been happier to have this day come as the day has been much anticipated.  Below is an update from a few of the pup's new familes.

• Sage (yellow/orange stripe)- She is a little spitfire like you said (at times). For the most part she has adjusted very well, the first 3 nights were really bad in the kennel, but now she goes is there and doesn't say a word till morning. She hasn't figured out the whole bathroom outside and no bitting, but everyday it get better.   She went swimming in the lake yesterday and didn't mind that and we also took her to the Zimmerman fair and she was loving that with all the people.
• Oakley (green stripe)- He is doing well and we have enjoyed our first few days with him. The transition (and most particularly nights) has gone much better than we had expected!
• Bear (black)- What a GREAT weekend! Bear has settled in and rules the roost! The only training we've done is just a 10 minute walk each day through some obstacles (woods and grass and small hills), he loves exploring! I have gotten a few incidental points out of him while playing around. He loves his new family and has adjusted very well.
• Sasha (hot pink)- She has been very fun in the short time we have had her. I think the boys wore her out today. She seems very attached to the boys so far. She must have had a lot of contact with the children in your neighborhood. She already has retrieved toys for us today.
• Belle (red)- Belle is the female we kept.  We have begun the crate training process.  Each day has been an improvement.  The last couple days we've been out exploring the woods, fields and water.  She is so inquisitve and loves to explore her new territory and carry things in her mouth.  She has adjusted well to having far fewer brothers and sisters around.
