Ryder is 8 months old and we guess he will be about 60-75 lbs when grown. Ryder, and his siblings, family left them when they moved away, leaving them to fend for themselves in a rural area. There are 5 siblings, all who love and adore each other, but definitely are each growing and expanding their horizons everyday. After at least 4 months on their own they are still a bit shy at first, but warm up quickly when they know the human is going to pet on them and provide them love. They are social with each other, doing great socializing with new dogs and also new humans; but everyday is a new journey and a new opportunity. They are doing great going potty outside, they have not been crated but that will all come with more time and patience. They are friendly, come up for pets and more pets. They are still learning the very basics that they were never taught......things like sit, stay and the biggest one is walking on a leash. Everyday they are worked to improve their ability to know that the leash is a good thing and no need to drop to the ground out of fear.
If their cute face brought you to the bio, but their characteristics have you not sure you are ready.

Or just reach out for an update, we are working them everyday and see them improving and growing by leaps and bounds.
