We always keep 2 from our litters (one for me and one for Renee). We will also keep the runt if the puppy buyers pass on him. We doubt they will pass; the puppy buyers spent about 4hrs Sunday with the litter and the runt was being a real charmer.
Both of our boys are smooth coated tri colored. Renee named her's Grant (her second name choice); she then joked I should name mine Lee. I found I like the name Lee and it suits him. So we will have the brothers Grant & Lee.
Hopefully I will post photos later this week.
The name Graham has been retired for a while (perhaps forever). We found a nice place around our pond (near the house) for him. We will add the ashes of two previous dogs to keep him company and find (or make) markers.
