Beyond their energetic bursts, these puppies are known for being incredibly affectionate, making them the perfect companions for cozy moments.

Medical Note: Slight over/under bite - At the time of adoption, no gum or soft palate trauma, nor discomfort with or effect on eating/chewing is noticed; no treatment is recommended at this time. As the dog is a growing/developing puppy, this could change and change quickly. Adopter should do regular checks of the mouth weekly to see if there is any trauma occurring. Comfort and ability to eat are going to be the main observation points, but the adopter should also look closely for damage to the gums/palate. If any concerns, exam by an oral specialist is recommended as they are best equipped to recommend the care and timeline that would benefit the individual the most. If intervention is required, growth and facial development should be relatively complete. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
