Ducky 🦆 is our most active female. She is super sweet and absolutely loves people. She’s one to give lots of kisses and likes being held. She definitely has FOMO. She’s one of the smallest pups but has no problem rough housing with her siblings… and winning! She wants to be a part of all activities and seems to have no fear with any noises so far. She’s one of the pups oftentimes sitting on your lap and laying on/next to you when it’s rest time. She seems to be heavily people focused. Even though she loves playing with her siblings, she really wants to spend time with the humans.

There’s no better way to start off our personality posts than with Mr Personality himself, Gator 🐊. Since they were born, Gator has always made himself known. He reminds us so much of his dad, Brady. He’s a little fluffy, happy-go-lucky goofball. He is incredibly friendly, loves people and always greets you when you walk into the puppy room. He is always partaking in activities without hesitation or fear. He is definitely one of the more active pups. He’s our social butterfly, biggest eater and investigator of all things big or small.

We will be posting about each pup once daily. Each pup will be posted about twice over the next 2 weeks. We will continue to add activities for them enjoy as well as observe how they react to each one. Please reach out if you want more photos/videos of an individual pup.

Pups are 6 weeks old!!! They got their first bath and were microchipped yesterday! They were good sports and like usual had extreme zoomies after. Photos will now contain the weight of each puppy. Please note that their weight now does not predict their future weight. It’s just a reference for you to see where everyone is at. All females as adults are expected to be 55-65 pounds and all males 65-75 pounds. Pups are still being free fed so oftentimes is a marker of those with a bigger appetite at this time. We will soon begin individual feedings.

Starting tomorrow we will begin our personality posts. Their personalities are really starting to shine ✨ Boy are they getting fun!

Today’s weekly photo is of them immediately after their bath yesterday. These are some fluffy pups!
