Meet Gracie!

Ahh, another black lab!

Miss Gracie is the newest service dog in training we will be puppy raising.

Gracie and her brother were donated to the organization by a generous breeder who has donated pups to us in the past.  I was excited since this breeder puts an emphasis on field ability and hunts, as well as shows.  Her donated puppies in the past have been a bit higher energy and have done well as diabetic alert dogs.

Actually, if Gracie grows up well she is being looked at as a potential momma for the organization's breeding program.  But it's way too early to tell if she will turn out for either program, so I will be raising her in the meantime. 

It's pretty hard to tell what her personality is going to be like.  So far she seems very calm but opinionated and extremely confident.  She certainly likes my slippers.

Lance is pouting of course.  But I already caught him playing with her outside in the snow.

Vito just keeps bringing me toys.
