Ready for Forever! 9.14.25

Mindy's "Miniature" puppies are still pretty little, but they're grown up enough that they're ready to embark on their next great adventures with their forever families! Several of the pups are spending a few more days with us and we're all delighting in the gorgeous weather and puppies at such an engaging age!

Families Falling for them! 8.30.25

Mindy's puppies are so fun and funny these days! Lots of playful wrestling, intrepid exploring, and serious snuggling. The pups are strongly taking after their mama and are on a petite growth track that has us estimating their adult weights all at under 20 pounds. We've started introducing the pups to their new families and they're charming each other all around!

Peanut - new name Coco, going home to New York, NY!

Smidgen - going home to Danielson, CT and big brother DH Cockapoo Finley!

Teeny - black female, now called Pepper and heading to her new home in Somerville, MA!

Itty-Bitty - going home to Hampton, NH with the new name Piper!

Nugget - going home to Long Valley, NJ with the new name Moose!

Small Fry - now Cocoa Bean, going home to Newfane, VT and big brother Lightning (also from Dutch Haven!)

Munchkin - now Lily, going home to Wellesley, MA and big sister Izzie (also from Dutch Haven!)

Looking Around at 2 Weeks! 8.2.25

As the puppies just opened their eyes this week, they often alternate between looking sleepy, or confused, or imperious!
Just a reminder: The "Miniatures" theme for this litter refers to the names, not to the expected size of the pups! Most of these puppies are expected to mature in the 18-22 pound range.

Mindy's Mini Miracles! July 20, 2025

Every new life is a miracle, and getting to participate in welcoming new little lives to the world is one of the wonders and pleasures of what we do! Mindy was in steady labor all day, and once the pups started arriving things went FAST! Seven puppies in just over 3 hours - what a champion mama! Mom and pups are doing really well, and pups are gaining weight fast. We love seeing those satisfied sleepers, silky coats, and nice round bellies that mean the milk is flowing plentifully. 

The name debate has raged over this litter - some factions rooting for Appetizers, some for Solfege Syllables (do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti),  and others lobbying for Encanto. The final decision was MINIATURES!
