Shu Mai and Booker were born December 4th 2013 at Turtle gardens. These pups are the cuddliest, happiest, balanced puppies we have seen in a very long time. They have been with the "pack" in a group foster home since they were 3 weeks old and walking around. They have excellent doggie social skills. They are housebroken, know "sit" for treats, and come running to "puppy puppy" from outside!! They are smart, eager to please and most willing to learn. They are active, busy pups with a very good "off switch". These well rounded balanced pups will be wonderful family companions with a couple of positive obedience classes under their collars - an awesome bonding experience for the entire family.

Puppies are cute as all heck but do come with the responsibility of providing training to raise them to be good canine citizens. While we start all our dogs on housebreaking and they do learn quite a bit from following the older dogs outside you can expect to put in the effort to continue the right behaviours and curb the incorrect ones. You will need to walk them often and praise them like they invented a way to turn rock into gold.

Adopters should also plan on taking a puppy training class or two. This is great socialization for your pup and can provide useful tips for a lifetime of ‘good dog’. Make sure you have a sense of humour with pups, they sometimes try really, really hard to please but get it all wrong and do the wrong thing when they meant to impress you with their cleverness. These humourous antics can include bringing you your underwear when you have company (hey you might need em), tipping the water bowl (the cat dared me), or tearing up the newspaper (maybe he disagreed with the editorial). Try to maintain a sense of humour while guiding puppy to the right ways of doing things, eventually he will be an adult dog and so much a part of your family that you couldn't imagine life without him.

Pets can be flown to new homes. Application and homecheck required for all homes, the dog will go to the best home for the dog.
