Description

Colby is a quiet, pudgy, wide load puppy who has a beautiful pattern and coloration.

Personality

Colby is so pretty that we keep forgetting that he isn’t one of the girls. He is bigger than his sisters, so that is an indication. He is the most distinctive in his litter, with the most white and most freckles. He doesn’t stir the pot or cause any ruckus. He happily partakes in puppy piles and wrestling matches, but is good about pausing before someone takes it personally. He takes cues from other dogs and pays attention to tone and body language. His skills include hide and seek, being clumsy and waddling, and ofcourse eating and napping. Colby is a very sweet boy who will fit into any home, get along with everyone, and settle in quickly. He has been housetrained since 10 weeks old! He is very well socialized to other dogs, cats and people and loves attention. You can accidentally step on his tail and he won’t even react.

Background

Colby’s litter was born to a stray momma, Velveeta, who had been running loose in a neighborhood in Spring TX for many months. Velveeta is a red and black mixed breed who is only 35 pounds and was underweight when she arrived. She wouldn’t ever let anyone come close to her until she gave birth to her 8 puppies in a neighbors garage. Another neighbor then took her in to get them out of the extremely hot weather, and let her nurse her litter in their laundry room. When the puppies were 2 weeks old they were transferred to a GNAR foster home. 4 girls and 4 boys. Velveeta was a very good momma to them and taught them to be good dogs.
