I've been meaning to post about this but I keep forgetting, we got a new puppy!!! Scout was born in the same liter that Bella (the puppy we've had since June) was born in back in April. A family in Massachusetts picked out Scout and once he was old enough, they shipped him to Mass from SC to be with his new family. Scout stayed with that family for 6 weeks but then the family returned him to the breeder because they were "scared" of him and the wife was afraid to be home alone with him. Ever since he has been living with the breeders. (Side note: These dogs are French Brittany Spaniels, and they are not aggressive dogs at all. They are hunting dogs and have lots of energy, and if you don't train them to hunt it is actually unfair to the animal. Needless to say, there is nothing to be afraid of) Well, we have loved our puppy Bella. She is very smart and loving and truly a great dog and for the past month or so Dad has been saying "I wish we had gotten two puppies". Once Dad heard about Scout, he just could not get him off his mind and about two weeks ago he drove to Columbia to pick up our new addition! Hearing Scout's story is kind of sad but I know that he will love being with our family and his sister, Bella. Considering that they were born from the same parents, in the same liter, on the same day there is a huge size difference! Bella weighs about 25lbs and Scout weighs in at around 45lbs.

aw, they are so cute! That's sad about Scout and his other family being scared of him!!
ReplyDeleteWhy get a dog if you're afraid of them?
ReplyDeleteHe's so cute and they look like a great pair.
Poor Scout that his first family was scared and gave him back. He's lucky that y'all have such a big heart. They are too cute, and look so much a like besides their weight.
ReplyDeleteHave y'all trained them to hunt?
