Relieved to have reached these puppies before they were given away to who knows, we are confident that they have a solid start. They are happy, mostly healthy (wormy but we are fixing that!) and very engaged with people and other dogs.

Their mom is a mere baby herself, perhaps only 9 months. Their father is a purebred shepherd as well.

Puppies are a life-long commitment. They need time, training, vet care and healthy feeding to become good canine citizens. Don't even think of adopting a puppy unless you intend to invest the time and money and commitment required, and you can expect to lose a few good shoes along the way!
