These adorable puppies are the definition of cute! They are all very high energy pups who love to run in the grass, pounce in the leaves, roll around in the sandbox, and see how high they can charge up my kids’ slide before they slip back down. They have a favorite spot behind a tree growing so close to the fence that only one of them can fit in the crevice between tree and fence. They go back there to hide from each other, and sometimes several of them go behind the tree and climb on each other like a totem pole. Their other favorite game is “King of Under the Slide.” One of them will go under the slide and wait, and if anyone else comes near they’ll try to chase them off. But sometimes in the process of chasing, they lose their spot and another puppy will be under the slide when they get back! These guys eat, sleep, and play all day long, then they do it all again. They stay in a puppy pen inside the house, then when they wake up or get riled up, I take them out to play outside for a bit, then they come back in and fall asleep again. They are all crate trained, and do not mess in their area. They cry to go out if they have to potty, and when I take them out, they mostly all go potty right away. They wake me up once in the night to go out, and they wake me up in the morning when they’re ready to go out. They don’t run around loose in the house, though, so you’ll still have to teach them the difference between grass and carpet!
The Boston Terrier is gentle, alert, very intelligent, well-mannered and enthusiastic. Without the proper amount of mental and physical exercise it can become rambunctious and a bit high strung. They are very sensitive to the tone of one's voice. Boston's like to learn and therefore are not difficult to train. Their intelligence ensures they pick things up quickly. If the humans around the dog do not display the leadership that all dogs need, they will become willful as they begin to believe they are running the show and need to tell YOU what to do. Do not allow the Boston Terrier to develop Small Dog Syndrome, human induced behaviors where the dog believes he is pack leader to humans
Blackberry is the snuggle muffin. He wants nothing more than to burrow down into your arms until just his wiggly little behind and crookedy tail are sticking out. And oh, when he wags that crooked little tail, his whole behind gets into the motion, and then it spreads up his back until his whole body is wagging. When he’s happy, there’s no mistaking it. It’s true when he’s sad, too. He is the puppy most likely to be picked up because no one can resist him. He cocks his head and gives you this pleading look, and before you know it he’s in your arms, and you’ve got a whole new understanding of the power of “puppy dog eyes.” Blackberry is the little brother of the litter, bugging the others to play by stealing their toys or nipping at them and then running away. Sometimes he will go from one to the other of his brothers and sisters until everyone is chasing him. He’s very playful, but he’s also the most tender, gentle, and calm. He’ll sit with my kids for a long time and be petted while they watch TV. He loves pickups and snuggling and just wants to be your baby. Blackberry is mostly black with a white chest. His fur is short and velvety and his snout is a little short, giving his whole face a real baby look, that, combined with those eyes, is just irresistible!
