WEEK 6

Thank you all for your patience in waiting for the week 6 pictures and descriptions!

When picking your favourites please keep in mind…

 

  • The biggest/fluffiest/best looking pup now will not necessarily grow to be the biggest/fluffiest/best looking dog in the litter when it grows up. So it is important to pick primarily based on the personality that suits you/your family rather than the looks or size of the puppy.

​

  • The temperament descriptions can give a good indication, but don’t necessarily reflect exactly how a puppy will grow up. A puppy’s environment, socialization and training until adulthood have big impact and it is the new owner’s responsibility to continue positive socialization experiences and training, to get the best possible puppy from what good genetics and early socialization produced.

​

  •  Puppies go through many developmental stages, including fear periods, which shape their behavior as adults. Both good and bad experiences during the puppies first two years of life have a major influence on what the adult version of that dog will be.

​

  • No matter whether your puppy is more active or more calm, shepherds are by default an active and large, working dog breed, meaning they need a lot of physical exercise and mental stimulation. Being active and training with your dog is not an optional thing, it's a necessity. Oftentimes behavioral issues stem from dogs not getting their needs met in these areas.

​

  • All puppies in this litter are playful, friendly, social and cuddly.

​​​​​

YELLOW (GIRL)

Yellow girl reflects her collar colour perfectly - bright, playful and confident.

When in a new environment, she eagerly takes herself around to sniff all the smells and discover every nook, but usually still comes back when you call her. A beautiful balance of independence and attachment. She loves exploring and approaches new things confidently with a little bit of caution. If you continue to nurture her natural confident temperament and train a solid recall, she will grow into an awesome companion.​

​

​

​

PINK  (GIRL)

Pink is a sweet puppy, whose tail is always wagging side to side. She takes a little adjusting to new things and stays close to us, but likes to explore and play. Her caution shows us she will be suited to people who are committed to giving her positive socialization and encouragement, and then she will grow up to be a confident and super sweet dog. 

​​​​

​

​

​

PURPLE (GIRL)

Purple is a gentle girl who loves humans and playing with toys/sticks. She will happily go off to explore a little, but always comes back when we call her. When unsure or frightened, she comes to us for reassurance before checking out the ‘scary’ thing, which shows healthy attachment and also means she will need positive encouragement from her humans with new things to grow her confidence.

​​

​

​

​

GREEN (GIRL)

Green is the most playful and confident puppy in the litter, very attentive, switched on and intelligent. She has a great balance of independence and attachment, approaching new things with a sure-of-herself attitude. She will likely have an enthusiastic training drive. Despite her activeness and independence, she listens every time we call her.

She is quite confident, so she will be easy to socialize, but will also require someone who can be assertive and put clear boundaries in place.

​​

BLACK (BOY)

​

Black is VERY people oriented and sociable, often the first one to run up to us wanting to be picked up. He is lively, bright and sharp, and very curious about new things.​ He is also very confident and active, with clear boundaries and training he will be an awesome companion.
