Minnie September 2008
Minnie is nearly 5 months old now. She is more serious than her brother Granger and when she's not playing chase with her brother she loves to snuggle. Minnie also loves her toys and will happily carry them in her mouth for her walks around the Microsoft campus with Karen during her lunch break. Minnie also likes to meet new people and new puppies of all sizes and ages. Minnie has started in her first puppy class called Fun and Focus at
Dog's World Training. She is picking up well on clicker training, the wobble board, ladder, and other exercises.
Here she is sharing a puppy bed with Bella and playing with a toy.

Minx (Black and Tan Female)
Evaluation Notes:
This puppy has a shorter and broader muzzle than her brother Granger. Although her eyes are smaller they are in proportion with her face. She has a scissors bite. She has long ears and a good ear set. From the front she shows a slight turnout at the elbow and pasterns appear slightly flat. Her shoulders are straighter than other puppies in the litter and the topline is good. Her rear is straight with good angulation.
Medical Information:
This puppy had her first veterinary exam on 5/15/08 as she was failing to gain weight. She was diagnosed with dehydration and received a subcutaneous injection of fluids and supplemental bottle feeding until she was weaned. She had a follow up visit on 6/24/08, including a heart check. No problems were reported.
Personality/Disposition:
Minx was originally the smallest in the litter and did not join in with the puppy play until about 5 weeks old. She is the most toy focused and loves to play tug. She is also the fastest and most fearless of the litter right now. Although she’s very affectionate, she does not like to sit still for long as there are too many interesting things to explore.
