Mom SKITTLES (a BC Mix) came to us very big and very pregnant. A few days later, on September 18th, THE SWEETS & TREATS PUPPIES came into this world raring and ready to go. All four boys are adopted. They were Cracker Jack (CJ), Clark (Bar), Nougat, & Heath (Bar). Of the six girls, two remain available: Peppermint Patty & Sugar. ADOPTED were Marshmallow, Snickers, & Tootsie (Roll), Caramel. Clark is the biggest, clearing the rest by 2 plus pounds, and Tootsie is the smallest. All are quite adept at using the doggy door to both go out and come back in. The door leads to a secure patio deck where they go out to play and potty. Their potty training is going very well. During the day, and even overnight, they (mostly) venture out to do their business. The puppies are all eating out of individual bowls in a sectioned off pen. They are getting better at sitting prior to heading over from their living quarters to the food pen. They are a smart, active, polite group…especially considering the size of the litter. They are attentive, friendly, and love to be cradled and given belly rubs! SKITTLES (55 to 60 lbs.) will be spayed late November and be posted for adoption after healing. Now let me introduce her babies:

ADOPTED – Let us introduce Mr. BRODY!  BRODY is a fun-loving 35-pound ball of energy with a beautiful rough coat. BRODY is petite in size and approximately 10 months old so he’s done growing.  He is the perfect size! BRODY is crate trained and easy to live with in the house. He’s cooperative to do what the humans ask.  He loves all toys and laying down to chew a bone during evening hours.  

Adopted – Adoption Pending – Mr. Tibbs (Tibbs) is a 10 month old border collie mix. He can be shy at first with new people and new dogs but warms up quickly. He loves wrestling with his foster brother & sister and would do best in a home with another young and/or playful & energetic dog.

ADOPTED – Say hello to our sweet SADIE girl. She is 1 year old BC/Aussie mix with a super soft, tri color, medium length coat. She is about 40lbs and has the most beautiful fluffy tail. Her marking are quite stunning! Sadie’s favorite thing is split between her person and other dogs. She will follow her foster mom around the house, but when it’s play time or the other dogs in the house get excited about something she is right there ready to go. 

ADOPTED – ZIGGY is a 4 ½ month young puppy with a soft medium coat who weighs in at 22 lbs. ZIGGY, aka Zig Zag, Ziggles, or just plain old Zig, loves people and loves other dogs. Zig loves to be petted, whether its belly rubs on the couch or running over to sit wherever we happen to be. He will jump up on people if he is not being given the attention he feels he deserves, but he is so light and gentle that, at this stage, it is not a big problem. None the less we are discouraging that behavior.

ZIGGY will need plenty of bones and toys as his big boy teeth replace those baby teeth. He is easy to redirect to toys if he should be chewing on something undesirable. ZIG does understand “no” but will give you that “who, me?” look. It’s adorable, trust me. He is starting to get “sit” on command and is more praise than treat motivated so training should be lots of fun and very rewarding.

ADOPTED – Woody is a handsome, tri-colored boy who loves adventure! (He tries not to brag about his good looks.) Right now his ears are only part-way up, but we bet he’s going to have beautiful upright ears when he’s done teething. Give Woody time to finish his puppy shots & he’ll be ready to go on adventures with you like hiking or running through tunnels & over obstacles, just to see if you can catch up with him. He also likes to use his nose to guide him, so he might like to learn to use his nose to find things you want him to find. Smart as a whip, Woody would like to learn anything you’d like to teach him. And when all the adventure & play & learning new things are over, Woody likes cuddle time on the couch, & might even like to fall asleep next to you–well, after he’s potty-trained, of course. Woody is treat & toy-motivated, but he’s not picky. He eagerly plays with chew toys, soft toys, squeaky toys, bones, balls, & Frisbees. And as far as treats go, he’s happy with a piece of his kibble. All his foster mom has to do is make a couple of “click” sounds, & he comes running for a piece of his kibble.

ADOPTED – SAM is as affable a guy as The Sam Malone of Cheers fame. He wants everyone to be happy with him & thrives on positive reinforcement. It’s easy to be happy with Sam because he truly is such a good boy. Sam likes to try new things & join in the fun with his littermates & the other dogs in his foster home. And did we mention cute? Sam has soft eyes & a beautiful black & white, easy-to-care-coat. He also has a “thumbprint” on the top of his head. Some dog lovers call this “the lucky thumbprint” & others call it “the mark of wisdom.” We say whoever adopts him will be wise & lucky!

Like his siblings, Sam loves to play with toys & with people & other dogs. He would do well in a home with another dog, but would be happy as an only dog, soaking up all the love & attention. He’s easy-going that way. Sam is a bright, inquisitive boy, who will enjoy learning new things, & enjoying the treats & play-rewards that come along with all of that. If you’re looking for a devoted, fun-loving friend to pal around with & to simply hang out afterwards, our Sam just might be the best puppy sidekick you could ask for.

ADOPTED – CARLA is a girl with focus.  She checks things out & then sets herself to the task at hand: pouncing on a toy, following her foster mom & pups around the yard in a game of puppy train, or finding something or someplace new to explore thoroughly & purposefully. Carla especially loves chew toys & treats, so both work well for training rewards, & as smart as she is, training should be a blast with this little girl.   Carla is active & adventurous, & has a can do attitude.  Yet she has a calm button, too.  When we took her photographs for the website, she was hands-down the most poised puppy.  She seemed to know what we wanted her to do & held her pose again & again.  She has a beautiful black & white smooth coat, which will be easy to care for.  Can you tell that this little girl has it all?  She would thrive in a home where she would have lots of opportunities to train & learn.  (Dog sports anyone?) She loves to show her person what she can do.

ADOPTED – Meet FRASER, an 8-week-old girlie with a beautiful tri-colored smooth coat.   And we’re all taking bets on what her ears are going to do (just today we see ears heading in an upward direction). Fraser is spunk & sweet rolled into one.  At about 10 pounds, she can run with the big dogs & loves to.  She isn’t afraid of anything.  She chases after the big dogs in her foster home until she is tired enough to do somersaults across the yard.  She doesn’t want to miss out on anything.  And when she becomes a pest & they tell her to back off, she listens. One of her favorite things to do is to gather all the toys, even toys that are bigger than her, & take them into her “lair,” creating a big pile.  It’s hilarious.  She doesn’t guard her toys; she simply collects them. Like all puppies her age, when she gets too tired, she has trouble winding down, so that is the time she needs to return to her pen or crate & take a puppa-nap.  She is crate-trained, & is making great progress in potty-training. 

Meet our sweet FRANNY girl. She is a 32lb, 10m old BC mix with a soft, medium coat and cute fluffy ears. FRANNY’s favorite thing is her person. She will follow her foster mom around the house, then settle at her feet. She is a typical young girl who is still puppy-ish and will sometimes chew things that she should not given the chance. A little puppy proofing or limiting where she can go in the house is all she needs.
