The puppies spent their last weeks with their mother and litter mates before embarking on their next big adventure. All families as prospective puppy owners have been picked. They completed questionnaires and interviews throughout the selection process. New families were carefully selected for each puppy to best match personalities and lifestyles. Puppies headed to their new homes across the country beginning at eight weeks.
