An adoption is now pending for Watson.  Thank you.

Watson is one of Lydia's puppies and was born on April 17.  He and his siblings will be ready to go to their forever homes on Memorial Day.  Lydia is a medium sized dog (about 40 lbs) and looks to be mostly black lab possibly mixed with a bit of hound as her ears are pretty long.  We have no idea what the Daddy (or Daddies) to this litter was, nor do we know how big they might get when full grown.  Watson does not really look much like a lab or a hound.  Some suggest Rottweiler in his heritage but he does not have a flat muzzle and his highlight markings are more brown than the reddish color of a Rottie.  Watson's coat is soft and fluffy so he may have longer hair.  All puppies will have been wormed and had their first shots at the time of adoption.

If you are considering adopting one of these puppies, it is recommended that they not go to a home where an owner is at work - or not present - for up to 8 - 9 hours each day. The longest they should be left alone is for 3 or 4 hours at a time during the first month or so after being adopted, and even that is a long time during the first few weeks after being weaned.  Besides the fact that their bodies are not developed enough to “hold it” when they are this young, leaving them crated or unattended for hours on end will not offer them the love, attention, socialization, exercise, or training that they will need to become the adult dogs you want them to be for their lifetime - and a good part of your lifetime too.
