Bay Leaf
The Herbal litter is ready to find their forever homes! These sweet babies were born at their foster's house on September 1 and Mom is Rosemary, a 45-pound boxer mix. These guys have a pretty big range of weights right now - between 6 and 10.5 pounds - and are expected to be 40-70 pounds when fully grown.
This litter has been socialized with (and loves) kids and other dogs, but may not be a good fit for families with children under the age of 4 due to the nippy nature of new puppies.
These puppies can go home at about 8.5 weeks old (after they recover from their spay/neuter) at the end of this month; at that point they will not be even remotely potty trained! They are showing an *awesome* instinct to do their business outside so their foster thinks they are going to be a quick study as far as potty training, but a general rule of thumb is that a puppy can “hold it” for one hour per month of age, plus one. 8 weeks – about 3 hours. Adopters should expect that this litter will need to go potty every 3 hours throughout the day with a longer stretch at night, but should expect to be up at least once a night for bathroom needs!
Due to the high level of care and attention a newborn puppy needs, their foster will be looking for a home where someone is there most of the time, and the puppy will not be left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. A fenced yard or plan for ensuring exercise is also needed; they are going to grow fast!
Bay Leaf is independent and adventurous! He is content to explore on his own.
Adopters interested in any puppy are encouraged to keep an open mind and meet the entire litter… their foster feels that often a puppy chooses their person, or there might be an in-person “love match” with a puppy that was different that the one you may have had in mind.
