My trainer, Sue Carney, came a bit after 2 pm and began at once. Every pup scored in the "Mild Persistence' category which means they are relaxed and tolerant and less likely to engage in unacceptable behaviors.
One of the tests was outdoors. I used my battery operated mower. I started it up and did a couple of passes about 20 feet from each. Most were scared enough to run near or under my trainer. Once I shut it off, we coaxed each pup to go near and sniff the mower. Although some were more 'cautious' than others, every single one of them overcame their initial fear and checked out the mower. This shows that the pups, with patience and encouragement have the courage to overcome and move on. A very important skill. I was very proud of every single one!
Happily accepted and placed are.
- Light Blue Boy 'DANTE' - Jorge and James in Boston, Mass.
- Rose Girl 'ROSIE DAISY' - Schmitt Family in New Jersey.
- Green Boy 'WINSTON' - Tzitzon Family in Andover, Mass.
- Purple Girl 'LIBERTY BELLE' - Gamble Family in Newburyport, Mass.
- Peach Girl - 'GENEVIEVE' - Lewis Family in Byfield, Mass.
- Red Girl - Sundog's MIGHTY 'ICY' - Staudacher Family in Lakeside, Arizona
- Teal Girl - Name coming!
Pink Girl is available at this time:
Pink Girl's description: Tiny but very brave and confident in familiar surroundings - a bit more cautious outdoors but has great recovery. Cuddly, friendly and sweet. Smart and would be a great candidate for a therapy doodle. Her size allows her to go anywhere!
Both these pups will be placed in Guardian Homes:
- Navy Boy 'ISAAC NEWTON' - Fieseher Family in Dover, NH
- Silver Girl 'BELLA RUE' - still available for a local family.
Thanks for your patience today!
