Ohh, Ohh, Ohh! It's the Ohh puppies!!!
This pretty little thing is Olivia, the smallest of the three in the litter and a little on the shy side. She's tan with a black muzzle and white on her toes. They are just 2 months old and seem to be quite a mix with Mama appearing to be a Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix and Papa appearing to be a Beagle/Basset Hound mix. The parents were dumped on an elderly couple's property and the puppies were born in September. The couple is keeping Mama, but the puppies are all up for adoption! They are happy, happy, happy puppies - happy to be alive and even happier to play. They're sweet, affectionate and attentive - AND they are already using the doggie door to potty outside! They will need to be crate trained and leash trained, and their potty training continued. We are still getting to know them, but we're already in love with them!

Olivia doesn't like being separated from her siblings and is very vocal about that. Otherwise she's a quiet puppy with typical high puppy energy. She and her brother Oliver have short legs like Papa. Opal has "regular" legs like Mama. Puppies are a lot of work and require a strong commitment to teaching them obedience, socializing them with other dogs and people, playing with them and loving them to pieces. It takes a lot of time, energy and patience to bring up a puppy, but it’s totally worth it! Though a fenced yard is an ideal place for your puppy to romp and play safely, if that’s not an option then lots of daily leash walks and opportunities to play off-leash in a dog park is the next best thing. A tired dog is a good dog! Dogs of all ages also benefit from mental stimulation – think puzzle toys and games. We strongly recommend that all our dogs attend obedience classes, not only because you get to learn commands together and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog, but because it helps to strengthen that ever-important bond between the dog and her human family. And it’s lots of fun! A well-mannered, obedient dog will be welcomed most anywhere you take her.
