This cutie was born right around December 5th, 2025, and he has been melting hearts ever since. Their mom, Karen, is a sweet Beagle mix, and dad was a handsome Pit mix — which means these pups hit the jackpot in both looks and personality. Delightful Derek is friendly, fun, and full of puppy joy. He will bounce into your lap, chase a toy with his whole heart, and then fall asleep in the most ridiculous positions. He is active, playful, smart, and already showing off his sweet, people‑loving nature. Size‑wise, All of the puppies are on the smaller side now, and we expect them to grow into the perfect 35–40 lb. companions — big enough for adventures, small enough for couch cuddles. If you’re looking for a puppy who brings sunshine, silliness, and endless love into your home, this litter has your match waiting.
