Hello,
Just a quick update! Litter O is doing well. There are 10 puppies, and we are hopeful everyone continues to thrive and grow.
Of the 10 puppies, only 2 are boys, and both are already reserved. That means we will have some little "Jet-ettes" (lol) available!
If you are currently on my list and would be interested in a female puppy from this litter, please reach out to me. I will be checking in with those on the waitlist over the next week.
If all available spots are not filled by my current waitlist by next Friday, June 12th, I will open applications to new families.
Here is the information
Raven
Elbows normal
Hips good
DM A carrier
DM B clear
VwD clear
Raven was imported as an adult. I do not believe she had the best start in life, and initially was quite shy. However, once she trusts you, she is incredibly sweet and affectionate. She loves to lean into her people, hug them, and simply be close.
One thing I appreciate about Raven is her balance. She has the stamina and athleticism to be active and keep up when needed, but she also has a wonderful off switch and is perfectly content relaxing with her family.
At around 90 pounds, she is one of my smaller females. She still has good bones, but is not as substantial as some of my dogs here. She is taller, leggier, and carries a very long, flowing coat.
Defender
Hips L .5 R .5
Elbows normal
Patella normal
Cardiac normal
DM clear both exons
vWd clear
Defender is the sire of this litter.
He is a very well-rounded dog—goofy, playful, and always happy. Defender is tall with a long stride and beautiful movement. While he loves to play and bounce around, he is equally happy curling up on the couch with his family.
He is very sweet, somewhat sensitive, and highly adaptable to his environment. Defender is simply a happy-go-lucky dog that wants to please. He recently turned two years old and still has some maturing and filling out to do. He currently weighs around 130 pounds.
Expectations
This is a repeat breeding that previously produced Jet, making him an excellent representation of what these puppies may look like physically.
Jet is tall, substantial, and very hairy, but his coat is more flowing than dense. Because of this, I think puppies from this litter can adapt well not only to New England but also to somewhat warmer climates.
Temperament-wise, Jet is sweet, sensitive, and a little aloof at times, though I would attribute some of that to me not socializing him as much as I would have liked due to the demands of the L and M litters.
I recently reached out to the families from the J litter, and they were overwhelmingly positive about their dogs. They described them as outgoing, intelligent, inquisitive, and very well-rounded.
What I find particularly interesting is how diverse those homes are. Two puppies went to young couples, one to a large family, and two to retirees. All of the families report that their dogs have adapted beautifully to their individual lifestyles and environments.
Because of that, I expect this litter to produce puppies that are adaptable, well-rounded, affectionate, and capable of being somewhat more active when asked.
Of course, these are simply my observations and expectations based on the parents, relatives, and previous litters. No breeder can guarantee exactly how a puppy will mature. A puppy's temperament and development are influenced by genetics, environment, training, socialization, and its life experiences. My goal is to provide the best possible foundation, but the final result is always a combination of both nature and nurture.
Next, it is important to understand these puppies will have go home dates around Aug 8th so please on PM me if this date would work for you.
Again I am starting with waitlisters first. I will make a post if more spots arw available next week on Friday. Ty
