Story
Red brings out all the sweetens in a puppy. She is very well behaved. She will run in and sit down out of the way waiting for her food. She will lay down and eat her food and when you pick her up, she will wrap her legs around your neck and give hugs. She is a very laid back and chill pup. When you see all the others running around, she is on the side watching and figuring the right time to strike and not waste all her energy on chase or running around trying to catch it. Inside she is great she will jump up in your lap and just chill with you. She of course enjoys the great cat chase every now and again We've estimated them to be around 20 weeks old. They were dumped on the side of the road with the other siblings. We've been working on basic commands with the five of them. They know kennel. They're not house trained, but they are kennel trained. They get kenneled at night and will hold it till morning to run outside and go to the bathroom.

Blackie is a fun loving pitty mix. She love to run and play with other siblings. Isn't afraid to open those pipes up and let out some pretty loud barks when something isn't right. Blackie is very curious. She's figured out how to get over or under the board we have set up to keep them from bombarding us when we go to open the door. She has also figured out how to scale a 4-foot fence to go and play with the big dogs. They have been introduced to a number of different types of Dogs as well as different types of cats and she has no problem standing her ground. is a fun loving very playful pup just like her sisters.

Story
Pink is a fun loving pitty mix. Pink is a very laid-back puppy. She is not one to get right up in the mix of things. She will stand back and watch her siblings take care of business. From a distance she will help let out some barks, but her favorite things are to cuddle up and give hugs and get petted on. She will give a cat a good chase every now and again. We've estimated them to be around 20 weeks old. They were dumped on the side of the road with the other siblings. We've been working on basic commands with the five of them. They know kennel.

Story
Yellow is a very quiet sweet loving pup. It might be ok now but when she gets a little bigger I am not sure. Yellow loves to cruel in your lap and just chill out with you. She's not big on barking, but if her sisters start in then she will join. She normally will stay in the back and take it all in. We've estimated them to be around 20 weeks old.
