Puppy Evaluation Shots
Sunday, May 3 was the perfect spring day for the collective human parents to see the pups at two months of age and make plans. Thanks to all the extended human family involved in this litter who took the time to participate in the evaluation, their feedback and ideas. It would be an understatement to say we're pleased. Great job Griffin and Epic!

Many thanks to Kathy and Taylor Wilkinson (Destiny) for their assistance in helping us get these latest shots of the kids. They're still a little too playful and silly for stacked shots, but we're working on that for the official grading, which will happen Sunday, May 3. Thanks to all who've written such nice notes about this litter, and to the approved applicants and puppy homes already waiting for their babies!
