Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Reggie is handsome, loving and a sweet cuddler who is just over 4 months old. We did DNA testing on his sister and Reggie is going to be a big boy. He is 41% German Shepherd and 23% Mastiff with a dash of cattle dog, bull dog, Catahoula, Bichon and Chihuahua. We assume he will be over 60# but that is best guess. Most people who first see Reggie think he must be part lab and he has the webbed toes for swimming to prove it. But, alas, while he is part Chihuahua he is no lab. His coat is a bit wiry and wavy and all together beautiful.
Reggie loves people including children and gets along well with other dogs. He is mostly house broken. He is crated during the day for 4-5 hours and at night. He happily goes into his crate expecting a wee treat. He is very well socialized. He does some leash walking and pulls some when he first gets started by once he is going he settles in. He is such a steady guy that he might be a candidate for a service dog or emotional support dog given some training.
The early months are when puppy learns the social skills needed to be a skilled dog in dealing with other dogs and a good citizen in the human world. Adopters should be committed to getting puppy into lots of new and different human social situations, hearing vacuums, trucks, and rattling garbage cans, meeting people who are clapping, laughing, with hats, tools, bikes and skate boards. AND puppy needs many opportunities to meet and greet dogs of all shapes, sizes and dispositions. Just sharing a home with another dog is not as much doggie socializing as puppy needs. If good canine social skills are not learned and maintained during these early months, it will be very difficult to ever master them. Puppy play dates, trips to the pet store, puppy socialization classes and later, obedience classes are particularly important. If all this doggie time and involvement seems like a good idea, you are up for a puppy! As always, a tired dog is a good dog.
Reggie has been vet checked, is fully vaccinated including rabies, and dewormed. The $375 adoption fee (check or cash) includes the cost of pup’s required spay/neuter at 6 months of age provided it is done by the PUP vet. We do place puppies outside the metro area but a plan for the required spay/neuter must be in place. We do not ship.
If you are at least 21 years old and everyone in your household is on board with adopting a puppy, CALL 651-645-4370 between 7:00 am and 9:30 pm and we will return your call within 24 hours. If you elect to contact us via e-mail it may take several weeks for us to get back to you. Renters must provide proof that you are allowed to have a puppy. If you currently have a companion dog or cat please be prepared to provide a vet reference prior to adoption if requested.
