Maverick

All About Me!

Maverick is a very secure little Dude. He doesnt fuss much and he can be happy just chilling by himself. He is definitely the largest by weight and is showing clear signs of alpha behavior. He does get along with the litter mates and loves his food, but is not exhibiting food agression. We have been monitoring them closely to correct behaviors unwanted behaviors. Maverick is playful but also very observant. He is often the one to open his eyes and watch you while the others are still sleeping. His mother is a tricolor Border Collie and his father is half border collie and half blue leopard Catahoula. These pups have been reared by both parents. Weening began at the middle of week 5 and at 6 weeks the pups are thriving on high quality kibble, Goats milk, weening formula and occasional ground beef with egg. We are happy to share exact details of what we feed them as well as what we fed their mother while nursing, if you like to track that kind of information. Maverick loves playtime, which we do twice a day. And then we also do individual playtime where we take one out at a time and work on different exposure. We have been trying to desensitize the puppies to loud sounds. Mavericks' entire litter has gone through super dog training in the first weeks and litter box training from 4 weeks on. We used alfalfa Pellets since they smell the most like grass. We used dog pads in the bottom of the litter pan to start. This should help with potty training, as these dogs are already aclimated to going in the litter pan that smells like Doggie pads or alpha grass. Maverick is thriving according to birth and growth rate, as he is the largest in the litter. We are very happy to share those details with you. We are happy to share that information with you and welcome a visit to see where he grew up and what the whelping box and kennel situation where. A non-refundable deposit is required to hold him if you cannot pick him up during your first visit. Jan 20 marks week 7 and we believe it's best to wait till week 7 or 8 for your puppy to be fully prepared to leave the litter and their parents.
