Zander LOVES puppies! He thinks they are the best playmates EVEH. It doesn't matter if it is male or female. Every puppy is a bucket load of fun. He tries being a grumpy old man sometimes, but he's such a pushover, and they know it! He loves human children, too.

Goose ended up loving puppies too, though. Here he is in video with Eve and Indy. Drove him CRAZY. He had to make sure they were near him all the time. My mom is narrating.

Nia doesn't have any reaction to them unless they jump all over her, tackle/bite/push her around, then she tells them to back off. Otherwise she greets, and plays with them fine. She doesn't show any different behavior towards puppies vs adults as long as they respect her space.

Lucy and Katy loves all dogs, doesn't matter the age. If anything, puppies are even more fun as they have so much energy!

Todd will tolerate puppies, but will not hestitate to tell them to back off when he's had enough of being poked, sniffed, jumped one etc. He wouldn't hurt a pup though, he just gives them a back off snarl.

Tucker likes polite dogs. He loves to play, but that's after a good sniffing. Most puppies are mosre like DOGGY!!!!! *runs full speed at Tucker and smashes into him, then proceeds to misinterpret his snarling as play* so normally he doesn't like them. If it's a distracted puppy that he can sniff out first while it's busy then he'll like it, but otherwise he prefers respectable adults. I remember this one litle 8 week old thing that came running at Tucker on it's tiny legs and Tucker just started backing up....and just kept going lol.

Meg is great for puppies. She's tolerant of them when they are being good, and gently corrects them when they are crossing the line. I've had several people mention wanting to borrow her for their puppies :p She also maintains good relations with any dog she's met when they were a puppy - maybe because she's comfortable with the rules they have in place. She's not nearly so good at meeting older dogs she's never seen.

Gusto is great with every dog. He is certain they are there to play with him, and reads them beautifully and plays according to their desires. He's only 11 months, so we'll see how that changes as he gets older, but I'm sure hoping he keeps those skills!

Fudge is scared of all small things. He tries to avoid them and if that doesn't work he jumps to the highest point and pretends they don't exist. Once they hit about 4 months though and learn to leave him alone he's pretty cool with them and will sometimes play.

Taz likes very small animals but when there's more than two he follows fudge. I'm
Pretty sure that Taz is the reason our hand reared kittens think they're dogs lol.

Scamp is amazing with small puppies. He stands and let's them do whatever, he'll play with them and he will only correct them if they're being really bad.

Ozzy doesn't like them but that's mainly because they never seem to leave him alone Nd a certain bratty puppy (*coughAuracough*) seems to think its funny to yank out his fur.

Tika likes them until about 4 months and then she will tolerate some bitches an attempt to murder others. Dogs are still ok.

Seamus loves puppies!



I've dubbed him the 'dog father' because I always bring him around to socialise with my friends' puppies and such. And he's great!

Sally is old and cranky. She used to be good with puppies but now she enjoys her space. As long as the puppy isn't too 'in your face' (which they usually tend to be), she's alright. She mostly likes to be left alone. :)

Here's Sally and Molly, who was six months old at the time. Puppies like this Sally can tolerate. :)

Dekka tends to love puppies. As long as they aren't huge and all over her. Bounce and Dash seem confused by puppies, they like them, but seem at a loss about how to deal with them. Kaiden likes them on his terms, he likes to lay out of reach and watch them. Sport loves them but is too rough while they are little.

Mine love puppies (if they are small breed, my dogs are sizeists). The girls do correct. Travis adores puppies. He just wants them on and around him all the time. We joke that he will raise the pups. Not Riley.

Chloe loves puppies. Any small, baby animal she just adores, especially kittens. When we're out in public, the only dogs she ever allows in her bubble without snarking at them are little bitty puppies. The smaller/younger the puppy is, the more she loves it.

However, she is hit and miss with older puppies (she wanted absolutely nothing to do with Cora, who was around six months when we brought her home) and now that she is getting "older" (she just turned five) she really isn't as dog-playful as she used to be and dogs that constantly want to play/won't leave her alone get snarked at.

Pip has very little tolerance for puppy shenanigans. He doesn't despise them on sight, but he does not have much patience for exuberance or rudeness and is very quick to correct - and once that line is crossed it's game over, don't come back near me.

Squash of course adores puppies, as does Maisy.

All of mine love puppies! Well, they love all other dogs, doesn't matter their age. I'm really lucky with them, they're all very tolerant and great puppy raisers.

Maddie no longer tolerates puppies much, to be honest. She loves well behaved puppies, but doesn't like rude or pushy behavior, and is quick to correct if they are in her face (eg. nipping, tugging on ears, stealing from right out of her mouth, etc lol). With that being said she will be protective if another dog is picking on a pup. :rolleyes: yea she's strange

Bailey is going through a "OMG I LOVE EVERYBODY!!!!!" phase :rolleyes: oy.

Grace loves puppies. Loves playing, loves snuggling, just loves pups. She is one of those dogs that will not correct a pup. Have not seen her do it yet. So she is not a dog to teach puppies manners, but she is very gentle so may be a good dog to introduce a shy puppy too. She doesn't go too fast and her playing is very, very gentle. She doesn't go so well with rude/exuberant puppies because she will not tell them off, she'll take everything they throw at her and I've seen some fairly bratty puppies. Of course, that's where the humans step in lol.

Abby I have never let near a puppy. I'm scared that she'll ruin an impressionable young puppy.

Macky hates them. Hates them, hates them, hates them.

When I got Keeva she refused to be in the same room with the little hell spawn for almost a month. When Traveler was 9 wks he accidentally bumped into her and she pretended to eat his head, but it's all noise with her.

Keeva, well... she still is a puppy, so yes, she likes puppies.

Nope Eve hates puppies as much as she hates adult dogs.

Nellie likes to baby things, so she really enjoys puppies and wont bat an eye at anything annoying they do, shes probably even a little annoying to them always licking them. Aija likes mostly anything, and just tries to play and lets them be puppies. Beagle doesn't care about anyone or anything unless its food, so she might care about a puppy if it was covered in bacon or something.

I often joke at work that I should be allowed to bring Smalls in so she can correct the over exuberant or mouthy pups. She's very good at doling out corrections without going too far, and does enjoy playing with pups. Magpie, Jack, and Shambles are all just fine. Jonas does not tolerate shenanigans period.

Sam hasn't had the chance to meet many puppies, most people keep their puppies a little too close and don't let them socialize much. :/ But the few he has played with he didn't get bothered by, he usually tries to play with them if they're willing.

The only time he acted different around a puppy was a small pup of some kind (I don't recall what breed) who was nervous of other dogs. Sam tried to walk up and say hi but she hid behind her owner's legs so he laid down of his own volition and let her approach him and sniff him all over before he got up and sniffed her quickly. She was a little quicker to say hi to the next dog in the park too. Proud moment there, hehe.
