Seven puppies were born to our own Angelina Jolie on June 8, 2008.  Since then, they have grown from a small handful of furry wonder into a bounding 10 or so pounds of puppy curiosity and energy.  Our best guess is that these are beagle (we know mom is a beagle) and black Labrador Retriever mixes.  Their full grown size estimate is anywhere from 35 to 45 pounds, but you never know how big they will really be until they are all grown up...so no promises here.  All of the litter are healthy, happy and quite content to play with dogs and people alike.  As most puppies do, these guys are teething on whatever they can find (shoes, furniture, limbs, and occasionally one of their toys) and will need lots of patience and training.  All that love and training will be rewarded with hours of laughter and puppy kisses for anyone willing to accept them.

Antonio is just a pup and has an estimated lifespan of 14 years or so.  He needs someone who will be committed to him for his entire life and he deserves nothing less.  Don't be fooled by how cute and tiny he is.  Cute and tiny are but fleeting moments in time.  Puppies can try the patience of a saint.  Please do not apply unless you can make that lifetime commitment.

Because of the noise and activity level of a dog this young, we discourage placement in apartments or condos.

Adoptive Status:  Neutered, UTD on shots (so far) and micro-chipped.

Dream Home Minimum Requirements: Needs loving patience and room to romp.

Owner Aptitude Level:  Puppies usually fare best placed in a home with previous dog experience.
