We went up to on Saturday Feburary 27 to pick out one of the girls from Kane and Roxy's litter. They had 9 in all... 3 males and 6 females. When we got around to sending in our deposit, we had a choice of the blonde puppys from Lemmy that were a couple weeks old... or we had first pick of the 6 newborn females from Roxy. We went with the red/apricot colored puppies from Roxy. We got up to Staunton at 10:AM on Saturday. It was around 40 degrees or so outside. What you can see in our gallery are the six females that Valerie brought out to us. The front room to the kennel was still pretty chilly since it was separate from the rest of the kennel. It was hard at first trying to get a handle on trying to look at the girls individually. They all clumped together under the heat lamp. We only had a couple ideas going in for what to look for when picking out a puppy. But it literally took us 10 minutes to begin to see differences in them. One girl was slightly smaller than the rest. One was slightly larger. The other four were the same size. Two of the girls had longer faces, one girl had a flatter face. The other three were "in between" those two, I guess you could call it rounder. Since we had to start coming to a decision, we kept the three with rounder faces. Of those three, two were basically identical. We could never see a difference in those two. The third one was the slightly larger girl... and that is the one we finally picked.
