Puppy Personalities:
Oliver- Oliver is a quiet little "Watcher" He's very attentive and seems to be studying things. Oliver is realtively calm (as puppies go) and does enjoy his snuggle time, though he doesn't care much about being picked up. He mostly just wants to stay close and nap on my lap. Oliver does not seem to want to dominate anyone. He plays nice and never shows a temper.
Lily- Lily is going to go live with Kristen and Bosco. Kristen came to visit this Sunday and Lily and her fell in love. Funny thing is, Kristen has always wanted a Boxer named Lily:) After some confusion over who Kristen fell in love with (I had a very long week and am going to chalk it up to exhaustion:) and Kristen going home thinking Ariel was her girl, I finally screwed my head on and went and got my notebook and discovered Lily was hers (Oh well, nobodys perfect:) Sixteen puppies can be very difficult to keep up with! Bosco is Kristen's lab and he needs someone to play with and as we all know that's what Boxers are best at:) Kristen and I talked for a bit about why she wants a Boxer and what kind of "Boxer mommy" she will be and I am certain she will take the best possible care of my little girl.
Emily- Emily is a sweet little love bug. She is generally quiet, but can and does hold her own with her littermates. She loves it when I come to visit and likes lap time, but also has an independant streak and will leave me to go wander frequently. I guess you could say Emily just has her own mind:)
Benny- Lori and her husband came to visit from Mountain Home ID last weekend and Benny stole their hearts and went to his new home. Lori originally wanted a girl but decided to see who she bonded with (Smart girl) and sure enough Benny was in love:) Benny is very playful and loves people. He generally is the one of the ones chewing on my shirt or pants making little happy puppy noises. He's a great little kisser and likes to be held.
Garrett- Garrett is going to live in Seattle WA with Betina and her two boys and is he going to have a great time! Betina met Zach (Who is owned and loved by Ken and Kristen) at their son's school and Betina fell in love; therefore started a pursuit to add aother Boxer to their lives. She has been patiently waiting for that special one and Garrett won her heart (He's very good at that:) Garrett is a handsome devil and is on the mischevious side:) He is a big boy and seems to know it.Garrett has "presence" that you notice right away, as if he were royalty and is the king of "Sissy's puppies" land. Garrett loves people!!!! and always makes himself available to them. He also has a jealous streak and is guearented to want attention if someone else is getting it:) He more than likely will be a dominant male.
Ariel- Ariel is a large female with a great head. She was a pretty "easy going" girl who just seems to go with the flow of things, but recently has come out fo her shell. Ariel is going to live in Boise ID with Dale and Tami. Dale and Tami like to spend time on the water and want an active, brave, confident girl who will enjoy their family. When Dale came to visit, Ariel displayed all those qualities and he was in love:)
Jasmine- Jasmine is a sweet little girl with an independent streak. She likes loves and kisses but when she wants to go do her thing she does. Sometimes that's curling up in my lap and sometimes that's trying to coax one of her siblings into a wrestling match. Jasmine is going to live in San Fransisco with Ellen. Ellen will be training Jasmine to be a hearing dog, which Boxers are particularly suited for. She will be snuggled, loved and treasured:)
Ranger- Ranger went home with Cassie and her husband. Since then he has slept with Cassie every night and is doing a great job of "kicking her around" in her sleep (It's a Boxer thing!) Ranger is my little, tiny, pint sized puppy:) Ranger is the runt of this litter and is much smaller than his littermates, though he doesn't know that:) I have been playing "Italian Mama, EAT EAT!!" with Ranger and after every extra meal he runs around trying to wake someone up so he can play. Ranger wants to be held frequently and is usually the little "squirrel" jumping on my leg.
Jackson- Jackson picked Lori when she came down to pick up Loki. Jackson stayed with Lori the whole time she was here and made her melt with his big brown eyes so off he went to Alaska!!! He's doing great with his new family, ferrets and all:) Jackson has a clownish streak, loves to play and likes to lay on his back in my arms. He's very loveable, very kissy and very snuggly:) Jackson has a little awnry side and frequently "Bowls over" his littermates to get them to play. He is one of the largest puppies.
