Alex (aka Little Sis, Tough Girl, Snapping Turtle) wakes up from a 7-hour sleep in her crate to go potty at 5:00 AM then snuggles and sleeps until breakfast at 7:00 AM. She'll then enjoy some outside time or go for a walk followed by some dog or human play time before relaxing again for a mid-morning nap. The afternoon is spent playing, snoozing, learning new tricks and building up her appetite for dinner around 7:00 PM. The after-dinner hours are spent strolling around the neighborhood, relaxing with a good buddy and a good movie, and then settling into the crate around 10:00 PM.
Alex is game for anything and will charm every human she meets. Alex has not had exposure to babies while in my care, but all other ages of kids are a GO for Alex.
Alex is a straight shooter: easy to understand, easy to train, very easy to walk on and off leash, and especially kind for one's ego. She will look at you and make you feel like you're the only one in the whole world that matters. She sees you, the whole you, and loves you with all her heart.
Despite her small stature as the litter bitty-est, Alex has a calm confidence and ability to do anything she sets her mind to. She is a sweet angel girl who will chum around with any canine friend and hold her own in a wrestling match. She shows no fear with neighborhood dogs and could undoubtedly befriend all creatures great and small.
We've had the puppies limited to the kitchen and dining room and they've done great in their space, playing, sleeping, learning tricks, and eating. They love their crate and have done great in there the couple times we've left the house during the day.
A faint grade 1-2 (on a scale of 1 to 6) heart murmur was detected at a vet appointment in March, however no signs of congestive heart failure have been noted on physical exam or historically. Recommend adopters discuss this condition with their veterinarian prior to adoption if they have any concerns. Depending on the cause of the murmur, Alex may still outgrow this murmur, or her murmur may be present through life but never cause a problem, or it is possible her heart murmur may progress later in life.
Alex will be a sweet and extremely loving addition to any household looking for an adorable, predictable, and loyal canine friend. She is the cutest little bundle born in Stoughton from a strong southern mama who was rescued from Louisiana. She is ready to use her smarts and adaptability to transition to a loving home and warm the heart of everyone she meets. You will lose yourself in her eyes as she looks straight into your soul. Beware of her hypnotic powers.
