Opaline is one of 9 puppies born to a beautiful Golden Lab mix who remained with her loving family. Due to the unexpected arrival of puppies and limited resources in Northern Manitoba, the puppies were surrendered and made their journey here to find forever homes.

Raised in a home environment with children and other dogs, these pups have wonderful temperaments being friendly, social, playful, and affectionate, with happy-go-lucky personalities. They are still learning about the world and exhibit all the normal puppy behaviors as they explore their surroundings. They are beginning to learn crate training and currently sleep alongside each other.

Their future families should be prepared to continue working on crate training, house training, socialization, and basic manners. They will thrive with patient, committed adopters who understand the time, supervision, consistency, and positive reinforcement required to help a young puppy grow into a well-adjusted adult dog.

These pups are blank slates with endless potential. Continued exposure to new people, places, and experiences will help them build confidence and develop into wonderful socialized family pets. Highly food-motivated, they are eager learners who will excel with positive training methods, making the journey of raising them both rewarding and enjoyable.
