MERCEDES aka “Sadie” is one of Maserati’s six puppies. MAZI is a sweet girl, a good mama and loves everybody, even strangers! We’re hoping the puppies take on her personality. Dad was a traveling salesman – most likely of the hound of variety. Attaching a copy of the DNA results to this listing. The highest percentage of their heritage is of the herding breeds so we’re looking for active, dog oriented homes. Sadie is very sweet, like her momma, and is a lighter color than the others - kind of an “off-black”. Will she grow up brindle like her mom, or a dark chocolate? Adoption fee of $350 will cover a eventual spay/neuter when they are old enough. Vets are now recommending after the first heat for girls and after the growth plates close for the boys - this helps prevent some health problems as they mature. The puppies have received their deworming and will have their first vaccine and are totally weaned from mom. They turned eight weeks old on Easter day and are available now. We do ask that adopters of puppies under 12 months of age attend a basic obedience class with them. We find that this results in a more confident, settled pup and reduces returns down the road. We can recommend a group class with a positive reinforcement trainer. If you feel like your family is up to puppyhood, please fill out an application at www.companimals.org.
