New Puppies!

Tommy
Peaches
Benito
My puppy club welcomed 3 new puppies to our club on Monday! A male black lab named Benito, a female black lab named Peaches, and a Lab/Golden cross named Tommy. This brings our total to 19 puppies being raised in our group! Our oldest puppies are 11 months old, and our youngest is 8 weeks old. We have 2 Golden Retrievers, 2 Crosses, and 15 Labs! There are 7 females and 12 males. And we also have 2 first time raisers waiting for transfers, and we always seem to have new people coming in wanting to raise a puppy! At this puppy meeting, we talked about how to deal with barking in the crate and on the tie down. Keith has really never been a vocal puppy. He barked the first two nights I had him, but after that, he never barked for attention again. He does get a little vocal when he is extremely excited about something, or when he's playing, but I'm not really worried about it. He knows to keep quiet when he's not playing.
I also filled out my PPQ form for my next puppy tonight! Keith is only 7 months old, but I have decided to raise a Golden Retriever after Keith is recalled! I am extremely excited about it as I have always wanted to raise one, but wanted to get lots of experience first. The Golden will be my third puppy. I won't know my assignment until Keith's recall gets closer, but I am already anxiously awaiting!
