"W" and "X" Puppies!

Our "W" pups were born February 1, 2009. There are 5 females and 4 males. Their Golden Retriever mother is Marilyn. Birnam Wood's Webb, the dad, is an ADI supporter and show dog.

On February 4, 2009, we welcomed a litter of Labrador Retrievers - 4 males and 4 females; all yellow puppies except one black male. Their mom is Beauty and the dad is BISS Ch Ghoststone's Louie Downtown CD WC “Lewis."

The puppies love to be petted by trained volunteers. Stop by and give them a hug!


 
 

Puppy Petting

Discover the magic of puppy love. Puppy petters of all ages know the joy and satisfaction of realizing that their volunteering is key in the development of superior Service Dogs. The "fit-your-schedule" hours make puppy petting very convenient.

Puppy petters start by attending a 2 hr. Puppy Petters Orientation to learn special techniques for interacting with our newborn puppies. Due to the popularity of our puppy petting program, there may be a waiting period to attend an orientation. It is also subject to the availability of puppies. We have approximately four to five new litters each year.

Long-term puppy petters who wish to participate in more advanced projects, may be asked to attend additional training. Please call for more information and to register for our next orientation.
