Brandi B.
Program update on 13 Oct. •
The pups will be ready to begin leaving next week! They are social (kid friendly), solid nerved, have been through obstacle courses, and have navigated several surfaces. They handle pressure well, and have amazing recoveries when something new is presented. This litter is amazing.

Program update on 25 Aug. •
The Maligators have officially made 21 days old! They are growing teeth, have their eyes open, and getting rough. Their favorite thing to do is currently wrestle every sibling around, and grab at the wire gate they are enclosed in while growling and barking to the top of their lungs. The bunch is going to have some fire…and it’s showing very early!
