Barks and Meows Rescue introduces Butterscotch. She was one of 9 puppies surrendered to multiple Rescues. The father of the litter is now neutered another Rescue is spaying the Mom. They are American Bulldog mixes and may end up being 60 lbs plus when fully grown. The parents weigh 37-40 kg They all have short hair coats. They were born on December 8, National Brownie Day thus are named after types of Brownies.
Barks and Meows Rescue took in 4 puppies in this litter. As of February 3rd, Butterscotch is the second largest in the litter weighing 5.1 kg. She is very affectionate. She is not a pushover with her siblings, she will win every wrestling match. Adorable disposition and incredible smart. She learns quickly has learned from the adult dogs in her foster home. Butterscotch has striking blue eyes and a light brown with white coat. Her muzzle has some black on it. She loves any toy you put in front of her. She enjoys playing with his siblings and is a natural born leader. Butterscotch now asks to be picked up, she is so happy when she is on your lap. She loves to be held and is very affectionate. Pick this litter up and their tails never stop wagging.
This litter is very smart and learns quickly. They know the routine in their foster home but do not get out of sorts if something changes at a moment's notice. They sleep, 7 hours in an open crate or on a Karunda Bed. They tend to get warm very easily, so they do not like too much bedding. They are all very solid, like little tanks. They are paper trained and are learning to go outside, weather cooperating. They love to play and lay on the adult dogs. They are very good at reading the "cues" from the other dogs. These cuties, are fed 3 times daily and are on Loveabowls. This breed mix tends to be allergic to Chicken.
Butterscotch will reach about 85 lbs when fully grown. She is still the second largest in the litter. She loves to climb. She goes up on chairs and couches and is oh so proud of herself. Butterscotch is housebroken and loves playing with the other foster puppies but doesn't know her strength. She is very loving plays hard and sleeps hard.
The ideal home for this litter is one where the family is familiar with the Bully Breed traits and needs. They will be strong when fully grown but also very loyal to all the home members. The family that adopts these pups, must sign a contract that stipulates that they will work with group training classes from the get-go. This breed is crucial for socialization with people and other dogs. The family must be willing to spay and neuter them at 6 months of age, with no exceptions, at our expense, at the West Lorne Animal Clinic. This breed mix requires a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. They will not be couch potatoes.
On February 3rd, they had their first set of vaccines, including Bordetella, microchipped, and provided Nexguard Spectra. They have been dewormed with Panacur as well. Butterscotch weighed 5.1 kg.
UPDATE: 2nd set of vaccines is done. She weighed 7.5 kg.
UPDATE: The final set of vaccines done on Mar 30. She weighed 14.5 kg.
A fully fenced yard, a minimum of 5 feet high is mandatory to apply for our Butterscotch. A medium to large size resident dog in the home may be considered but it must be a male.
