The Chosen One

Well, we decided on a puppy! We chose puppy #3. Here are his pics again:


It was so hard to choose! I really loved puppy #1, the blue merle bi with blue eyes (see previous post). He was just gorgeous! But Duke had brown eyes and copper points and in the end I had to go with this sweet little guy who reminded me the most of Duke. I hope he ends up being a nice boy! He is only 4 weeks old so its a bit early to tell his temperament, but I am sure he will be fine (fingers crossed!). Now to think of a name! I am not sure if I like Luke or not (as in Luke Duke, see this previous post), any ideas? I like to keep to the tradition of a one syllable name (for herding dogs - a good short, easy to say name). And I want to keep it related to "Duke" somehow, whether it is the Dukes of Hazard or John Wayne (who Duke was named after). So let me know if you have anything in mind!

  4. I think he is so adorable!! His color will get darker, Sadie had a lot of white when she was a baby, and her color really darkened up. But I bet you already know that, with having Aussie's!!
    I really like the name Luke!! I am so excited for you!!

  5. Holy Cow he is darling! Something about a tiny puppy is almost as good as a tiny baby...almost, but not quite.
