Five gorgeous puppies - just 12-13 weeks old and ready for New England Stunning pups expected to be medium-to-large. Mom is a German Shepherd mix; we suspect Dad may be the friendly neighborhood Golden Doodle Mama will remain behind for now while we work on safely transitioning her indoors and getting her spayed. Often described as the quiet leader of the group, Beast has a calm, steady presence and a natural ability to keep the peace among his siblings. While he enjoys playtime, he's just as happy doing his own thing--often lying nearby, watching the action unfold. He's a bit more independent than his siblings, but when it comes to his people, he absolutely melts. Beast loves to cuddle and soak up affection, forming strong, loving bonds. He's great with other dogs, cats, and kids, making him a wonderful fit for many different types of homes. With his thoughtful nature and affectionate side, Beast is the perfect mix of independent and loving What to expect (they are puppies!): 🐾 Playful, curious, and full of energy 🐾 Still learning manners (jumping, mouthing, stealing socks) 🐾 Not fully house trained or crate trained yet 🐾 Will need structure, consistency, and training 🐾 Smart, social, and at a prime age for learning They're at that perfect in-between stage--past tiny baby, but still very much a work in progress. With time, patience, and a little humor, they're going to grow into incredible companions. More info coming soon!

This requirement is for your benefit and your puppy's, so if you experience behavioral issues, you have a point of contact. PLEASE--Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so crucial in this puppy's life. Do you have the time?
