PUPPY ADOPTION DAY  (8 weeks old)

Four years ago we adopted a sweet pup named Addy. She is half Poodle and half Golden Retriever, she is unlike any other dog we have had.  She stays right with us, even without a leash,  she has unending patience,  loves kids, and she walks beside my bicycle on a special lead designed for that purpose. We took her to the cabin where she met a porcupine and curiously  touched it with her nose.  Anyone who has lived in Alaska's woods and has had to go through this with a dog knows how hard it is to get the quills out of their faces.  I put my arm around her and talked to her and she held perfectly still while my husband pulled all 28 quills, some in her eyelids, some in her nose. She did not yelp, growl, or try to get away. She just flinched each time one was jerked out. Some days she a dufus and some days she lays quite, but always she is gentle and loving. I know that Addy will never be a great guard dog and drive off a bear or bite an intruder,  but she will let me know if one is around.

​

This spring we found a handsome, healthy guy for our Addy.  His is black and white Parti Poodle.  (We were hoping for some fun colors, and we were not disappointed, there were two blacks, two reds and 5 blonds.)

 

COATS: Both Addy and Mishka have the curly Poodle coat. Addy sheds very little and Mishka doesn't shed at all.  

HEALTH: Both Mishka & Addy were genetically tested through EmBark for 260 health defects and passed them all.

 

Fast forward to May 19, 2025 and Addy had 9 puppies.  

All the pups are vibrant and healthy and interacting with us wonderfully, already wanting to snuggle. They are  incredibly smart and eager to learn. 

  

 We are trying to give them the attention and space they need.   (Their home has been upsized 3 times in 7 weeks, with 9 pups you can probably understand the need for that.) We have been working on the Misty Method of Potty Training since they were 2 1/2 weeks old, they are progressing wonderfully, no more wet bedding and they are comfortable doing their business outside.   

 

We want the best possible homes for our fur babies. 

​

We do ask that they not be left at home alone for 8 hours a day while you work, little puppies need to go to the bathroom every hour or two.  We also ask that they don't get left in a crate for hours on end during the day.  We will start  training them to sleep in a crate in our bedroom with the doors removed from the crates. 

Puppies teeth until they are 6 months old. This means lots of chew toys, and if you have to leave them for a few hours, baby gates and closed bedroom doors  are wonderful tools to save your leather shoes. 

 

If you would like a very special companion please feel free to contact us as we have a few extra puppies that need loving homes. 907-590-6545
