That tugs a little extra at me. Almost exactly like Tanner! He had the square head pretty early though. Be interesting to see him in a week.

Remember this, the dog is the only member of the family YOU get to choose!The purpose of a dog sure has changed with time and that story is one of many. I have had similar things happen and grew up with the kind of thinking Dean had. Tools, a dog with no job has no purpose, shoot him and move on. It wasn’t until I had kids that my mind changed. Honestly, it was Tanner that changed me. Before that I traded and shot more dogs than I will ever want to admit. Now we consistently have two dogs in our lives that serve no purpose beyond companionship. One of them we paid more than I ever have for a dog and he’s dumb as shit. He would’ve never made it this long in life 15 years ago. Weird how things change. Not sure I could even leave a dog in pen outside anymore. They’re part of the family now, even the dumb one.

We're down to five now and they all go home tomorrow. Literal fuckton of work, but I've enjoyed having puppies to play with, as have the girls. Despite my FUBAR a few months back that allowed this litter to be born, all 6 that have went home, were followed with comments about how well behaved and socialized the pups were. I had a discussion with someone last night whose niece paid $4K for a lab from Petland and said it was a terrible dog. I laughed and said this $100 inbred dog would likely be a much better dog and it doesn't have anything to do with the price tag and everything to do with how that puppy spent the first 6-8 weeks of it's life, IMO. Other than breeders, hard to imagine a litter of pups getting much more time and attention thrown their way than these ones.
I'm excited for @cspot and @Isaacorps to arrive tomorrow. Curtis's new dog is the pick of the males IMO and shows every sign of being a great dog. Isaac's is a close second and is 99% Gunnar. From how they looked at 7 weeks, to how they behave, to that slight curl to the tail that drives @giles nuts They're my 2 favorite males dogs and somehow, they're going how with guys I know...

Well done, Jesse. Congrats on a fine job and doing things the right way! We’re beyond excited to meet our new buddy tomorrow 
My wife couldn't handle the video of them all running, Jesse. She almost made me pull the trigger... LOL.
Bro, you need to make claim to LT (little tanner)!
Time for a well deserved cold one! Or 6...

Our transfer went well too. Pup played with the kids on the way home then took a nap. Then went on a walk down to the creek. Now is taking another nap. Wife has more pics on her phone but this is his current state.

Well, how was the first night? That was always the worst. Kennel next to the bed it was we always did. Move it further and further away until you get them to a spot you want.
How in the world did you get this picture??? All of then sitting still and looking the same direction. Holy crap.
