Hello,
Josie was born at the end of November to Sophie and Bregon. We rec’d her in January and thought we would send an update. She is such a great addition to our family and is a sweet sweet dog. She is growing like a champ as expected!

7 wks: 19.4 lbs9 wks: 21.6 lbs9 wks: 27.7 lbs
12 wks 44.3 lbs17 wks 66.3 lbs22 wks 95.4

I attached some photos showing her growth. She was pretty easy to potty train. It took a little longer when we would bring her to our mountain vacation home,but she got the hang of it. Every once in a while she reminds us she’s still puppy with chewing a movie case or a book or something that is left out. Now her head hovers above side tables and such,so we have to be a little more creative. I’m using a gentle leader to walk her because she’s pulling alot. We just successfully graduated from puppy training class. She did well and was used alot as an example because her presence is quite easy to learn from observe! We’ll be signing her up for her next class this summer. She gets tons of attention when we go for walks. Everyone says how beautiful she is, and her demeaner is excellent.

Thank you for breeding such wonderful dogs!
Joanne & Tom Dorsky

Hi,
Josie is doing great. She weighed in at 19.4 at her 7 wk bday at the vet. She was really calm for the whole appt. She is eating and drinking well – she loves the chicken kibble mixture best, plus enjoying yogurt and pumpkin. She loves all the attention she gets and loves to snuggle, take naps and play with her toys. The kids have been great with her and she seems to love playing with them. She has gotten whiny a couple times when they have to go to bed!

We love her so much. She is such a great addition to our family. We’re really enjoying her and I think she’s enjoying us too! Thanks so much for a great dog!
