2019 American Mountains Litter

See pictures and video of how they turned out below!

We have begun a new training venture with a few of the puppies from our current litter, diabetic alert basics. When the puppies were 3 weeks old we began exposing them to the scent of a low blood sugar saliva sample on a swab prior to nursing so that they would form a connection between the scent and a reward. The following video shows the progress that Lincoln has made with this kind of scent detection. You will see that he really enjoys playing scent games.

Willow's puppies are almost 2 weeks old. They are beginning to walk and wobble and their eyes are beginning to open.

They have arrived!

Willow began hard labor around 2:30 a.m. on February 7th and by 8 a.m. she had delivered 11 healthy and strong sable puppies. She delivered the first 9 puppies in 2 hours and the last two puppies were spaced out over the next four hours. There are 6 girls and 5 boys. Some are dark sable and several have white factoring. It is a very colorful litter!

Our 2019 litter theme is American Mountain Peaks and Ranges.

We love the colorful markings on this years litter. We are looking forward to watching them grow and reveal their personalities. We perform temperament aptitude tests at 7 weeks and all puppies are then matched with their families once temperaments are assessed.
