Meet the Winter Litter!
Eira (Snow in Welsh)
Eira looks the least hound like of the five puppies, with her brown and tan markings and big puppy eyes. She is smart, confident, and often the first to try a new skill or explore a new situation. With a longer battery life than most of her siblings, she is usually one of the last to nap. Eira is an exceptionally well-balanced puppy who would do well in almost any household.

These beautiful hound mix puppies were born on December 26 and have spent the past six weeks growing up in their foster home where they have been exposed to lots of dogs as well as people big and small. With the help of their mom and foster mom, they’ve been given a strong foundation to grow into well socialized, happy, and healthy adult dogs.
They will be ready to head to their forever homes at 8 weeks old on February 20 and will have received their first vaccines and all age appropriate vetting prior to adoption.
Their mom June, is a 40 lb beagle mix who is remarkably sweet, gentle, and mischievous, just like any good hound. As far as hounds go she is a quiet dog who you only hear bark when she is really excited! Dad is unknown, so adopters should expect these puppies to grow to be medium-sized dogs. While the pups are mixed breed, adopters who have experience with hounds or an appreciation for hound traits would be ideal. The puppies are already proving to be very food and scent motivated and are currently medium energy.

Medical Note for Mom: Momma June is heartworm positive and will be starting her treatment as soon as the puppies are fully weaned. There is no concern with her passing on heartworm to the puppies. In very rare instances, a puppy may have some microfillaria due to small transfers of blood during birth. However, these microfillaria can not become adult heart worms and will clear on their own or be resolved by a dose of prevention. Your puppy will be given a dose of the appropriate medication at 8 weeks, which will serve as their 8 week worming dose, as well as heartworm, flea/tick prevention. Like all dogs, your puppy will need to start their seasonal preventatives late spring.
Due to current winter temperatures, formal house training has not yet begun. However, all puppies are litter trained and should transition quickly to going outside when weather allows.
