The Boys

Brillo Brillo is a confident yet easy going little pup. He scored well on the temperament tests, following well, retrieving, and responding to the various test aspects with mainly 2's and 3's. Additionally, he is very birdy and willingly tackles cover.

Taboo Taboo is also very confident and outgoing. He does get a bit overly excited about things like food and playing, and chasing feet. He scored in the high 3's and a couple of twos. He is very even minded and trains very well. Will probably be quite demanding on his new home for attention. He has good conformation, and a shorter, bristley coat.

Rigby Rigby is a very intent young pup, and he must have extra muscles attaching his tail, because it wags the fastest of all the pups. He is a deep bodied puppy, broad across the shoulders and rear. He tested with 3's and a two for dominance restraint, and he was also very forgiving, cuddling up to the tester and licking her face after he was let up.

Bond (James Bond) This boy is another shorter coated pup. He is very forward and inquisitive, especially determined around birds. During the temperament test, he scored 3's and two's and a 1. This is another pup who did not like the dominance restraint yet was an extremely forgiving puppy. He earned his name with his incredible escape tactics and his ability to spot an open door, or an unattended garbage can. This is a very busy pup, and a quick learner.

Winston Winston is very inquisitive and eager to explore, but is not as demanding of attention as his littermates. He does like to play and go for walks. He likes birds and can be seen in the largest photo with the goose wing. His temperament test indicated a more independant nature but he was accepting of all the aspects of the test.

Orion Orion is the smallest pup in the litter, and is a pretty interesting little fellow. He is a pup that decided not to test on the day of the temperament test, instead he spent his time exploring the room (much to our tester's dismay) and thoroughly sniffed every corner. Around the house, he is a bright puppy, and trains well, but is not the kind of pup who is upset when he is left alone.
The Girls

Roxy Roxy is a very sweet natured puppy. She is gentle yet she has a high prey drive and is always ready to play. Roxy is very alert to what is going on and one of the first to get into trouble when the occasion arises. She is friendly and affectionate. In the temperament she scored mainly 3's with a 1 for prey drive... and a retrieve..... so she should be a good, cooperative and easily trained hunteress.

Charisma Charisma is also very gentle, and very easily trained. She is a cuddler and does her very best to please. She has a high prey drive, and enjoys playing fetch. In her temperament test, she scored mainly 3's with a 4 in elevation dominance (struggled, settled, licked) when she was suspended above the floor. She has a mild nature, and will be a nice dog to train, not a real hard minded pup.

Grout This little pup is a very bonded individual. She trains easily, and is very excited about life. She is finer boned than the other pups in the litter, and is the smallest of the females. She has a nice natural retrieve and has a nose fit for sniffing out countertop smells. She has a shorter coat. Her temperament test was mainly 3's... with a 1 in prey drive.

Winter This is the most dominant of the females, she is a bright and very busy pup. Winter has a bold attitude, while being l easy to train and attentive to those around her. She has a shorter coat, and good structure. Temperament tests scores were mainly 3's with a 1 in prey drive.
