Saving the Best for Last

People frequently ask, "Why are these puppies the last ones?" This usually means they are asking, "What's wrong with these puppies?"

What we find is that some people ONLY want a boy, or ONLY want a girl. They don't even want to consider the other option. 

That is what happened this time. We started with 3 boys and 3 girls. The first people who came to look at them ONLY wanted boys - so they were all adopted first. 

When it gets down to choosing one of 3 girls, it comes down to what characteristics you are looking for, and often whether the puppy bonds with you first, or if they find something that distracts them.

All that to say these are the last two puppies from this litter. We have Mint Ribbon Girl who has always been my wife's favorite and Purple Girl who is just full of spunk and fun. 

Here is my daughter holding Mint Girl:
