This is a dual-sire litter. Babe was bred to Lorfield’s I Get Around MH40 MNH4 CCA WCX HTHF “Cruz” and ADCH Pine Run Running In Overdrive MX MXJ MJB OF CAX BCAT DS MAD “Rio“. We were very pleased with the puppies from our 2019 Rio x Babe litter and extremely excited to see what Babe and Cruz can produce. At this time we believe we have puppies from both sires and are waiting for DNA results for confirmation.
We expect these pups will be moderate in size. They should be smart, bold, and energetic puppies. When working, they will be confident, eager, and focused with lots of drive. They are also likely to be moderate to high energy and drive. If they are like their parents, they will need a job and/or regular exercise and training.
Finding Homes
Puppy placement will be determined by us after the puppies are 7 weeks-old based on the tools and evaluations we have available to us. These include our observations of each puppy from birth, structural evaluations, health checks, temperament assessments, and our puppy buyer questionnaire.
For us at Snapshotz Retrievers, it is important that each pup be the best possible fit for each new home, and that the new home be the best possible fit for each pup. Not every puppy fits every home. We owe it to our puppies that we find them the best home possible to allow them to thrive for the next 10 or more years.
If you are interested in this litter or have questions, please contact us. While our list is full, we are taking names for the wait list. Working and performance homes will be given preference.
