“Nursing mom w/ Pups - Golden enough for GRR? Came in stray yesterday with six kiddos. She’s only about two. Can you take?”

Wow, Mom looks like a Golden movie star—so our response was “You bet! Come on down!” Followed by: “Yikes!! Where are we going to find a foster home for seven dogs at one blow??” Our chief  foster coordinator got on the line and went down the list, and hooray! One of our long-time foster moms stepped up to help out.

And now … We’re delighted to introduce GRR’s latest group of celebrities (we understand they already have quite the Facebook following). Mama is so glamorous that her foster mom picked a superstar name for her – and the pups were all named for characters in movies featuring Julia (you know the one we mean!).  

While mom is a Golden through and through, her adorable kids—now about six weeks old—are quite the “variety pack.” We’re DNA testing them and should have the results in around three weeks; we’re all very curious to know just what went into the making of these darling fluffballs. And we’re thrilled to have a litter of Golden mix pups who all look so different – as you may recall, our last two batches of mixed pups have been almost all solid black!

Here are the pups’ first press releases… and we’ll have more news as they grow & change day by day.

At just over five pounds,  tricolored Eddie (black, brown, gold) is the sole boy in the family. “He’s the group’s Prince Charming.  He has a bold personality, which he will need as the only male in a house full of girls. He’s the tall (largest, at a little over 5 pounds), dark (tricolored) and handsome one of the bunch and for the most part is pretty laidback.. though if someone is ‘talking,’ it is usually Eddie.”

Little Viv—a tricolor, like brother Eddie—weighs in at just a shade over 4 pounds. She is the quietest of the puppies and just likes to get close and cuddle.

Four-pound Tess is another blonde bombshell in the making!  She is both sweet and feisty.  One minute she is loving on you; the next, she is trying to drum up some trouble.

At only 3 1/2 pounds, independent Anna doesn’t mind heading off from the pack.  She’s an all-black, curious puppy who can cover some ground!  She is a bit more reserved than the others and doesn’t get into the “sibling rivalry” quite as often.

Like her namesake Erin Brockovich, Erin has some big blonde hair… I mean, fur… and an even bigger personality. And she’s big size-wise, too, almost as hefty as Eddie!  She loves to lie on her back and try to paw you.  If you feel a nibble on your toes, most often it’s Erin trying to stir up some trouble!

Darby is the most petite pup of the group.  But what this black-and-white cutie lacks in size (she’s barely over 3 pounds) she makes up for in spunk!  She is one of the more vocal puppies and tends to be the instigator when they get into a puppy rumble. She often needs rescuing from being squashed from one of her larger siblings.
