This is Torrie's litter. She is a Shepherd/ Hound mix. We can only guess who their dad was, but our best guess is Boxer/ Lab.
Willow
Black & Tan. Willow is just a little doll. She is the smallest of the litter and most resembles her mother. She is very patient and overall has a very stable disposition. She loves toys! We think Willow would make a wonderful family dog
Potential Size: 50-80lbs
Age: 7 weeks
We were born on February 24th; our mom was scheduled to be put to sleep that morning and we were born that night. We took two cars and two planes to get here and have been busy getting to know how to be great dogs since then. No two of us are quite alike and our foster mom will be very happy to help you decide which one of us is a good match for you.
Yes, I’m adorable, but I want a family that can see past all of my cute and will work hard to learn about who I am and how to help me be a great dog. (For example, although it is cute when I jump up on you now, it won't be so cute in 6 months, so I need people in my life to ask me to 'sit' before saying 'hi.') I hope that my family will respect me and attend to my needs as a baby puppy, through my adolescence, and all the way into my golden years. I’m going to need great socialization opportunities all throughout the week and I would like to be learn good manners so that I can make you proud every day. As part of my adoption, you will need to take me to a puppy class that has curriculum covering bite inhibition, body handling, socialization, off-leash playtime with friends my age, good house manners, and basic obedience training.
We have been very lucky to be raised by a dog trainer who has worked very hard to set us up for success. So far we have: -
been exposed to LOTS of people and kids, foster family dogs, cats, noises, footings, toys, household activities, being bathed, having our nails trimmed, being touched all over, and having our pictures taken.
-
learned to use a potty area and are learning to use the yard to potty.
-
discovered how tasty and satisfying stuffed Kongs, bully sticks, marrow bones and nylabones are for chewing, but we still need help learning not to chew shoes, furniture, rugs, wires, and other inappropriate things.
-
taken several car rides to be poked, prodded, and fawned over by lots of strange people.
We’ve had a great start, but we still need lots more time with strangers, children, new places and things to walk on, learning to solve problems, and learning how to be a great dog.
