This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.
Nick Big Valley is the calmest of this litter of three boys and two girls.
He's very playful, but he tends to watch his siblings before jumping into whatever they happen to be getting into! Though he's more reserved, he's not shy at all. His brother Heath is the floppiest puppy and likes to lay down and snuggle and cuddle, his brother Jared is the most active and antsy, and Nick is right smack in the middle of the two - an even blend of temperament between his two brothers! We're thinking these pups are a small Hound blend born around the first of August, and will most likely be around 30-40 lbs. when full grown.
The Big Valley pups are your typical puppies who'll need to learn those big dog skills: where to potty, crates are great (this is currently in progress), and walking on leash means ADVENTURE! Chewing is the current hobby and they will make short work of a newspaper! Though a fenced yard is the ideal safe place for your little hound dog to play, if that's not an option then daily leash walks with opportunities to play off-leash in a dog park will do just fine. Don't forget that canine mind needs exercise, too - think puzzle toys and games. We strongly recommend puppy training classes so your pup can continue his socialization with new dogs and people, gain more confidence, and learn lots of cool stuff, all while hanging out and bonding with his new forever human(s)!
