A relaxing morning on the deck. Boise summer mornings are so lovely.
Let’s talk about Jasper.
He is lovely and I get lots of comments about him.
When he was two days old, I was already saying that he has the Puppy “IT” Factor. His extra white will shrink and likely won’t be a big issue for the show ring, if he turns out to be a “show” puppy.
He is also busy. He was, of course, the first to find the ramp Cindy has lent us. I will use the ramp for the two steps to the grass but for now, it is out so they can get used to it. Jasper discovered it and hopped on up. That is how he is.
He was also the first to find the other new thing — a crate.
And he was the first to go in the crate — of course he was.
People get attracted to the look of a puppy but that is not what makes a good fit. Puppies must be placed based on the gifts they bring into the world. I know from experience that a puppy like Jasper has star power in the right home. He will have that home.
Star Garnet is just a notch or two down from Jasper in terms of “busy.”
She found and mastered the ramp quickly as well.
She headed off to explore the crate with Jasper.
And she is also quite lovely and striking.
It would be a safe bet to guess she is staying at my house.
The other two boys are so lovely and more moderate in terms of “busy” than Jasper or Star Garnet. This is Sapphire.
Topaz.
These puppies are all quite special for so many reasons. The pedigrees. The health clearances. Temperament. The working ability. So many reasons.
Sapphire and Star Garnet
They all have star power in their own ways, and my job is to make placements that maximize their gifts. That is what they each deserve. 🩷💙💙💙
