Introducing the Puppy Love litter!

These absolutely adorable and each unique mixed-breed cuties were born 11/28/24, and will be ready to head to their new homes in early February. We can see some Australian Cattle Dog (heeler) in their assorted blue and red and tricolor markings... plus a whole lotta LeMutte (aka Heinz 57 we-dunno breeds).

Mama weighs just under 60 pounds, so larger than a full heeler - clearly she and papa both have a wonderful mix of genetics just like their babies. It's nearly impossible to predict the exact size of the adult pups - probably all will be somewhere between 45 - 70 pounds, but no guarantees! Weights as of 7 weeks of age are listed below, so you can tell who is on the larger vs smaller end of the spectrum.

These pups are fun and playful little speckled fuzzy bundles of cuddles with teeth, ready for you to teach them how to be the best doggos they can be. Yes, puppy training can be daunting, but it's not forever, and when you're finished with the basics, you can move on to all sorts of fun activities with one of these energetic people-pleasers.

This litter includes:

LOVEBUG: female, white w/ red mask, blue ticking, 9 pounds at 7 weeks

VALENTINA: female, white w/ red mask, red spot on each shoulder and one on left hind end, 7.25 pounds at 7 weeks

CHERUB: female, heavy blue ticking w/ red brows, ticked feet, 7.25 pounds at 7 weeks

ROSE: female, white w/ red mask, white tip on left ear, red spot on left side, 7 pounds at 7 weeks

CUPID: male, all white with tiny black spots, SMALLEST, 6.5 pounds at 7 weeks

CASANOVA: male, white w/ red mask, red ticking throughout, red spot at base of tail, 10.5 pounds at 7 weeks

ROMEO: white w/ red patches over eyes, red ticked ears, front feet, head, BIGGEST, 11 pounds at 7 weeks

SWEETS: male, white w/ black patch and red outline over right eye, blue ticking on head, 10 pounds at 7 weeks

Puppies require a lot of human interaction, and all puppies will benefit from obedience training and full immersion in their human household. These pups' ideal homes will have someone who can exercise them with a couple of energetic walks each day, plus commitment to training them how to be the best dogs they can be. They hope to have very few hours per day when they will be without the companionship of a human or other pet, and will reward their forever people with boundless love and loyalty!

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Rose is a suggested minimum of $150 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.

Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
