Pumpkin - A Handsome Boy with an Observant Nature! Pumpkin is a very handsome red merle boy with a gorgeous coat that's sure to catch your eye. He's a little fellow who likes to take in what's happening around him, with an observant nature that makes watching him discover the world all the more enjoyable. Pumpkin is still learning about all the exciting things life has to offer, and he'll be looking for a family who can help guide him through those early adventures. He's got plenty of puppy fun ahead of him, from discovering new toys and exploring new places to learning all the important skills that will help him grow into a wonderful family dog. He's very food and toy motivated, which is a great advantage when it comes to starting his training and encouraging all those good puppy habits. With patience, consistency and plenty of positive reinforcement, Pumpkin will have a wonderful foundation to build on as he grows. Don't let that thoughtful little expression fool you - he's still a puppy with plenty of energy and playfulness to enjoy! Pumpkin will love having a family who can provide him with opportunities to explore, play and be involved in everyday life. He's a gorgeous boy with a whole lot of potential and is ready to find his very own people!
