Field Trip to Home Depot

 We took the puppies for a ride in the car today.  It was quite the adventure to load 14 puppies into the car and head off to the local Home Depot.  They love to have us bring the puppies into the store and give the customers and staff an opportunity to love on the puppies.  We enjoy the time with folks as they meet our dogs.  There are always lots of questions about the dogs and about breeding.  We have gotten to know the staff at the store and they always look forward to when we have litters to socialize.

 Once again the puppies were a huge hit.  I didn't make it past the front entry way before staff and customers alike were petting the dogs and holding them.  The puppies were great and were very calm as people touched them, held them, and loved on them.  This is such a good experience for these little guys.  Oregon is a dog lover's state and each of the people who stopped were talking about the dogs they have at home, as well as asking about our breeding program.

Providing new experiences, meeting new people, having new sites and smells and sounds is great to help the puppies feel comfortable as they adjust to unfamiliar experiences in the future.  As you take your puppy home I encourage you to do the same: take your puppy with you on car rides, and introduce them to as many new places and people as you can while keeping them safe.  Bring treats for people to give them so that they associate new experiences with rewards!

 After spending some time in the new settings the puppies were worn out and took a long nap.

They are also enjoying our puppy run now that the weather is cooperative and we aren't having rain.  They love to cuddle together in the dog house and then go out to run and play.  These two litters are adjusting well to life.  Soon we will be getting them ready to go to their new homes.  We are already lining up trips on airlines to deliver them to Sacramento, Washington DC, Boston, and New Jersey.  Other puppies will be going to new homes closer to us.  So many new experiences for them to enjoy.

We still have four puppies from these litters available, so if you want a wonderful puppy, contact us quickly!
