Joule & Danny's 2005 Litter "Spot"
- Sold
Each day our puppies are individually played with, handled, socialized,
crate trained and potty trained. Stimulating their mind at a young age
helps ensure our puppies grow up to be very well rounded adults.
Starting at 6 weeks old we spend time each day documenting each pup's
development.
Spot is active but not a pushy social dog.
She likes to be petted, but is not obsessed with needing attention (like
some of her littermates). Spot would do well in a multi-dog home or a
home that does not want a Velcro dog. Spot is similar to her mom in that
she does not like her feet off the ground. She gets very worried when
she is picked up. Not sure if this is a result of the super puppy
exercises as an infant (the early neurological stimulation we do) or
she's just a land lover like Mom. Joule never sleeps feet up (Danny
always sleeps feet up) - she always sleeps in a tight ball - maybe it is
genetic. I think Spot is pretty and should have the substance to make a
nice conformation dog. She should be a larger female than her mother,
19-20" and 40#.
Our pups are Temperament tested at 6 weeks as recommended by the
authorities by a professional dog trainer. Using the results ensures you
pick a pup with the right temperament for you.
