Fallon is a happy little soul who adores snuggles and one-on-one attention. She enjoys interactive play with her toys and has a calm, observant nature that sets her apart. With a balanced medium energy level, Fallon would be a wonderful match for a family with children or a couple looking for an easy going companion who still enjoys fun and affection in equal measure.
This pretty girl is learning all the right things for her age:
resting quietly in his crate for up to eight hours
uses the litter box and doggie door to keep his living space clean and potty free
comes when called
walks up and down stairs
is mastering impulse control against jumping
With her loving spirit, beautiful coat, and growing list of accomplishments, Fallon is sure to bring laughter, love, and a little extra sunshine to her forever home!
We are five weeks old now and our little personalities are starting to develop! Our Teddybear coats are becoming full and we look pretty cute!
Our trainers have started conditioning us to the different moving objects that we will encounter when we go to our new homes. Getting used to shopping carts, wheel chairs, walkers, strollers, canes, etc. prepares us for any direction our training will take once we join our new famlies. We have also progressed from sitting in a running vehicle to short car rides every day and daily crate training has lengthened!
Next Thursday, individual pictures and temperament test results will be added to the website then Friday our new families are coming to visit to make us a part of their home. Janet will be sending final adoption details and invoices early next week then will confirm appointments. We look forward to meeting you!
Enjoy our new play and eating video!
This past week we started beginner crate conditioning with a crate buddy so that we can slowly acclimate to sleeping in our crate. Marisa and Chasedy have also been holding us more, offering gentle cuddling, holding while walking around and inspecting my body/mouth examination, all preparation for handling without fear when we go to our new homes. Our trainers have also started conditioned emotional response exercises such as pulling our ears, hugging around our necks, ruffling our fur, handling and squeezing our paws and clipping our nails while eating Greek yogurt during each manipulation. We are learning to show a positive response, instead of a negative one so that we can handle the bumps and tugs that we might encounter with young children or special needs children/adults with my our new families. Janet thinks we are doing great in preparation for our upcoming temperament test and that our new families will love our sweet natures.
We are now three weeks old and this has been a big week! Our eyes are now fully open and we are beginning to respond to Marisa and Chasedy when they take us through our daily training. A litter box has been added to our nursery room and we are already searching it out to go potty in! We also finished up our Neurological Stimulation exercises and have started the next phase of our training and conditioning. Holding, cuddling and walking around during this development stage helps us to learn to be secure when being carried and handled.
At 21 days our ears began to open and we can now hear. We don’t know much about science but research says that during the first week of hearing puppies have very little startle response to loud noises so Janet makes sure to take advantage of this time to begin conditioning us to accept these noises while we are eating. Doing something pleasant while we hear, startle and recover conditions us to ignore the scary noises that we will encounter in our future life. Daily sound conditioning will continue at each of our meals until we go home to our new family. We are getting used to hearing:
The sound of a running vacuum, force blow dryer and clippers
Slamming doors, gates and dropped objects
Honking horn and running car
Thunder, wind storm,
Lawn mower, power saw, buzzers, bells
Children playing, thumps, babies crying
The puppies also just had their first bath and first trim! Early exposure to water, blow dryers, and clippers is an important step in our socialization process, helping each puppy become confident and comfortable with grooming from a young age. We’re proud to provide these positive early experiences to set the foundation for well-adjusted companions - whether they’re destined for therapy work or as a beloved family member. Enjoy the video below of the puppies eating, these babies are just adorable!
We are two weeks old! Over the past week, we have really gained a lot of healthy weight and are starting to crawl around. Marisa and Chasedy are finishing up our Early Neurological Stimulation exercises and we are responding very well! Each day we accept the exercises a little bit better, giving us the perfect start towards developing a temperament that can go in whatever direction you need, whether it be for therapy, diabetic/seizure alert or as an excellent family companion.

Fiona has given birth to seven plump and healthy babies! She had an easy delivery with Janet’s help and has been given oxytocin to expel any retained afterbirth and penicillin to ward off infection. She has had a bath and has settled in nicely with her beautiful puppies and is being a great first time mother!
The puppies are having a great first week and spend most of the day nursing or sleeping. They now spread out under the heat lamp instead of crowding around Fiona to nurse constantly, this is a good sign that they are getting enough to eat and are content. Marisa and Chasedy are taking great care of the babies and they have started taking the puppies through their first stage of socialization. Next week expect to see a close up video of each puppy going through this first stage. Enjoy the newborn pictures!
