Gertie is a little bundle of joy, born around April 3rd and currently weighing about 14 pounds. We don't expect her to grow into a very large dog, but we do expect her to become a serious threat to everyone's emotional stability with her undeniable cuteness! She's the kind of puppy who makes people stop in their tracks, forget what they were doing, and question their existing pet population. Her adorable face, with eyes that seem impossibly soft, could have been designed in a secret woodland creature laboratory.
Gertie is a happy, sweet, and social girl who gets along with other dogs. She's eager to learn all the important puppy things like potty training, leash walking, and basic manners. She's also learning how to use her cuteness responsibly, though we suspect she might not be very good at that! As a baby, she'll bring some normal puppy chaos, and will need plenty of patience and training, especially after those moments when she looks up at you with her precious face right after doing something mischievous. Gertie is funny, lovable, dog-friendly, and just the right size to become someone's entire personality. Come meet Gertie, but be prepared – she's small, she's powerful, and she absolutely knows what she's doing.
