Litter update on 07 Oct. •
Puppies have an open door crate in their play area for them to go in amd out of on their own, this helps them transition easily to homes that wish to use crate training.
Bluey is still hanging around, he is 8 weeks and 3 days old 😊. He’s literally a perfect puppy! Reach out with any questions.
