The Cutest Puppy Ever Part IX

November 29, 2008 By Colby 7 Comments

Sorry guys running a little late with this edition of the Cutest Puppy Ever. No worries, I’ll get together an article for our ninth and tenth puppies before the end of tonight.

Our ninth puppy is my favorite from puppy out of the seven German Shepherd mix. I told myself if Cocoa was the last puppy to be taken out of the litter I would keep her myself. That probably would have altered my entire puppy raising life. I probably would not have raised Stetson or Derby and I would have probably never had the chance to volunteer with Guide Dogs of America. However, Cocoa was adopted very early and I decided not to adopt any of the German Shepherd puppies.

The Cutest Puppy Ever – Cocoa

Cocoa was an adorable black and tan German Shepherd mix puppy with a personality to match. Out of all the puppies I thought she was the most relaxed and even tempered. She had a lot more tan coloring around her ears then George, Sally, or Buttercup. The one thing I remember vividly about her was when she stole a large tomato from my sisters tomato garden. She had the little round orb in her mouth and ran around the yard while the other six puppies chased after her wanting her little treasure.

Here’s her photo gallery:

The Cutest Puppy Ever Part VIII

November 27, 2008 By Colby 6 Comments

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is having a great day, watching some football, eating lots of turkey, and of course checking out todays edition of the Cutest Puppy Ever!

Here’s our recap of the past seven cutest puppies ever:

Linus the Aussie Shepherd mix
Buttercup the German Shepherd mix
Blondie the Labrador Retriever Mix
Sally the German Shepherd Mix
Derby the Yellow Labrador Retriever
George the German Shepherd mix
Brisby the German Shepherd mix

Today’s puppy is Boots…can you guess why we named her boots. Well, she has adorable white boots on each of her feet. This puppy is a cross between a German Shepherd and a Labrador Retriever…we think.

The Cutest Puppy Ever – Boots

Boots was an adorable puppy. She was the second biggest puppy in the litter, but she was still much smaller then George. There were three light colored puppies in the litter and Boots was a cute little blond puppy with a dark muzzle and as I mentioned white boots on her feet. She was also the wild girl of the bunch and would sometimes be very calm while other times she loved to prance around the yard with all her puppy energy. I’d love to see this little girl today to see if she still has that wild side to her.

Here are Boots adorable pictures:

The Cutest Puppy Ever Part VII

November 26, 2008 By Colby 3 Comments

It’s almost Thanksgiving day and today we give thanks to all those cute puppies out there. I was lucky enough today to see a new puppy joining or guide dog group. A little female black Labrador Retriever who was absolutely adorable and did I mention small…she was teeny!

The Cutest Puppy Ever – Brisby

Anyways back to The Cutest Puppy Ever and today’s puppy is Mrs. Brisby from the German Shepherd litter. This puppy looked like a combination of all the puppies in the litter. She had a dark muzzle like the black and tan puppies, but instead of a dark coat she had a light colored coat like Blondie although her’s was more of a gray color. She was a sweet little puppy and loved to tag along with her sisters in brother. Out of all the puppies in her litter she was most shy and just a little bigger than Buttercup the runt.

I’m not sure if you caught her name, but Mrs. Brisby came from the movie (or book) The Secret of Nimh. The lead mouse in the movie was Mrs. Brisby and this little puppy reminded me of her.

The Cutest Puppy Ever Part VI

November 25, 2008 By Colby 12 Comments

Welcome back to the Cutest Puppy Ever! If you’ve been following along then you probably noticed that I’m adding links to all the articles at the bottom of the page. Here’s the quick recap:

Linus – Australian Shepherd Mix
Buttercup – German Shepherd Mix
Blondie – Labrador Retriever Mix
Sally – German Shepherd Mix
Derby – Yellow Labrador Retriever

That brings us to puppy number six. We return to the German Shepherd litter of puppies and representing the only boy in the is George a beautiful black and tan German Shepherd puppy.

The Cutest Puppy Ever – George

George was by far the largest puppy in the German Shepherd mix litter. He was at least twice the size of Princess Buttercup. When I picked him up from the shelter one of the attendants said he looked a little bit like a Coonhound because his ears were much longer and floppier then the other puppies in the litter. I’d have to agree although his ears were no where near the length of a Coonhound.

Lucky for me George was adopted by my brother and his wife. I get to see him all the time and he’s an absolutely adorable dog. While I was fostering George I was told that German Shepherds are lap dogs…George definitely lives up to being a lap dog…he’s 80 pounds and he loves sitting on your lap!

Check out these adorable pictures of George as a puppy:

The Cutest Puppy Ever Part IV

November 23, 2008 By Colby 13 Comments

It’s Sunday and the weekend is coming to and end…time for Part IV of the Cutest Puppy Ever. Just like the other posts we’ll start with a quick recap:

Linus the Australian Shepherd mix was our first puppy.
Princess Buttercup the German Shepherd mix was our second puppy.
Blondie the German Shepherd Labrador Retreiver mix? was our third puppy.

That brings us to our fourth puppy in the Cutest Puppy Ever series. Our fourth adorable, cute puppy is Sally the German Shepherd mix.

The Cutest Puppy Ever – Sally

Another one of the German Shepherd mix litter. Sally was lucky enough to get that black and tan German Shepherd look. At approximately four weeks of age she was adorable and the first from the litter to be adopted by a loving family.

Sally had a great personality and that was probably why she was the first puppy adopted in the litter. She had a slightly lighter color then the other black and tan puppies and as I mentioned earlier she was absolutely adorable. Here are a few photos.

The Cutest Puppy Ever Part III

November 22, 2008 By Colby 14 Comments

Here we are on the weekend with Part III of the Cutest Puppy Ever! Did you see Contestant I and II? Linus, the Australian Shepherd mix was featured in Part I of the Cutest Puppy Ever. Part II showed our first female contestant, Princess Buttercup a German Shepherd mix from the Riverside Shelter. If you missed those posts take a look at these links:

The Cutest Puppy Ever Part I
The Cutest Puppy Ever Part II

Contestant number III is also from the Riverside shelter and her name is Blondie. Check out her biography below.

The Cutest Puppy Ever – Blondie

Straight from the litter of German Shepherd puppies was an all blonde puppy that looked nothing like a German Shepherd. We eventually assumed that this litter of puppies must have had two (or more) fathers and wrote this short article: Can A Litter Of Puppies Have More Than One Father? Blondie is from the same litter as Princess Buttercup…they sure don’t look like sisters.

Blondie was a little feisty girl and always seemed to get her way among all the other puppies. As far as I could tell she seemed to be one of the more dominant puppies in the litter. We assume that the mother was a German Shepherd, but Blondie’s father may have been a yellow Labrador Retriever…What do you think? Here’s her portfolio of photos:

November 21, 2008 By Colby 5 Comments

…and so begins part II of the Cutest Puppy Ever…If you missed part I then check out our first contestant for the cutest puppy ever by following this link:

The Cutest Puppy Ever Part I

A quick recap: Part I of the Cutest Puppy Ever featured my rescue puppy, an Australian Shepherd mix named Linus. He was an adorable little black puppy rescued from the Carson shelter.

Contestant number II is Princess Buttercup. I wrote a little information about her and included her portfolio of photos:

The Cutest Puppy Ever – Princess Buttercup

For those of you who don’t know Princess Buttercup comes from the movie the Princess Bride. She was the runt in the litter so she just seemed like she was the little princess. Now that I look back at these pictures she was tiny compared to Linus (you can compare the two pictures of them on the back porch). When we picked her up from the Riverside shelter they said she was only 4 weeks old. She might only be a few days older than that in these pictures. I’d heard that puppies from the Riverside shelter could be tenth generation mixed breed. From the look of Buttercup I’d say she’s a German Shepherd mix.

Princess Buttercup was so cute and petite, but she definitely held her own when rough housing with the other puppies in her litter.

Puppy Adoption – German Shepherd Mix

March 11, 2008 By Colby 4 Comments

If you are considering puppy adoption, I highly recommend visiting one of your local puppy/dog rescues. In past articles I’ve talked to you about the puppy/dog rescue, Cuddly Canines. I want to do my best to help place these puppies by profiling each puppy, litter of puppies, and dogs on this blog.

***Note this dog may already be adopted as I will keep this information in my archive. Please check the Cuddly Canines website for the most recent puppies up for adoption.

Richie the German Shepherd Mix

Richie

Born on December 30th to a purebred German Shepherd mommy & what looks like a Black Lab daddy, Richie has the happy, good nature of a Lab & the loyalty of a German Shepherd. A real winning combination! Since birth, he has been in a foster home with 3 kids, other dogs, and cats. Richie is well on his way to being housebroken & responds very quickly to training! This boy is going to make a fabulous family pet.

Richie is in Redondo Beach
