Hi,

I'm Cuddles, it is nice to meet you. I have a wavy black coat that does shed and webbing between my toes. My foster Grandma says I love to eat all my food that I am given and I appreciate a good snack any time of day. Grandma can give me and my foster Sister Ginger a snack while sitting down next to each other.

Ginger also taught me how to use a dog treat puzzle where I find treats inside.

Grandma says I sure learn so much from watching Ginger. ( Ginger is a large chocolate lab) Grandma says I will grow up Large like Ginger.

I love going out on the deck to watch birds and squirrels and love to sit right next to Ginger.

I am lucky that Grandma is retired and she leaves us out often during the day.

When the house needs to be cleaned or laundry needs doing I am happy to go in my crate and avoid getting in the way. I like when Grandma sits down in the evening so I can cuddle up with her.

I sleep in my crate all night until Ginger wakes me up early in  the AM . I need to go potty whenever I come out of my crate.

The one thing Grandma says about me is that I am a private pooper. She says outside that's ok, but you will need to keep extra doors closed in the house so I don't go and hide poop for you to find later.

The vet said I have a heart murmur that I will hopefully outgrow, but my new doctor should keep an eye on it.

If you're looking for a fun loving, cuddly dog I would love to meet you.

PS. Winston the Cat lives with us and I have learned cats have sharp nails!

Remember that I am a puppy and play hard at times and that includes nipping when I am playing. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting small children yet so I'm not sure if I can get along with them - I may be a bit much for some littles.

This pup is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and neutered. The new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.
