Holsome puppies are now nine weeks old and their names are: Happy, Hele, holly and Hula. Please view their photo attached. Initial evaluation by a master schutzhund trainer when they were eight weeks old finds them to be high-drive, strong nerved, strong prey instinct and to grab and holding the toys full and tight in their mouth which is highly desirable as a working dog besides they are all very sociable and affectionate. These puppies are raised in the house with a loving family.

They have received two checkups and shots, dewormed by our family vet. They weighted 16+ lbs each at full eight weeks.
