All five pups are females, with three black and two liver -- descriptions below.
The pups were extensively socialized from birth (our grade-school kids helped from Day 1, including whelping) and grew up in our home and yard. Beginning at five weeks of age, the pups were regularly exposed to cross-town trips in the crate and visits into the field with field that included working through various types of cover, pigeons, and swimming.
