My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Looking for an all round super puppy? Well, look no further -- meet Xerox!

Xerox arrived from Utah with brother Xander in early February. Born Thanksgiving week, these adorable, white-and-black smooth coat brothers are now just coming on 4 months old. They are both completely delightful little kiddos who love everything. They are outgoing, happy, playful, and ready for life!

Of the two, Xerox is the smaller one, and although they both pretty much love everyone and everything, Xerox is rather mellower and much more of a cuddle monster than his brother Xander. Of course, he’s no slouch in the play department either - Xerox is super playful too! This little munchkin is definitely the best of both worlds – active one minute and gentle and loving & snuggly the next. Xerox loves to be held and just melts in your arms. Yet he also happily spends hours daily rough housing with other foster and resident puppies/dogs in his foster home, and when there’s a break in that action, Xerox turns his attention to toys. He loves them all, and will even play with sticks and pinecones! Xerox is starting to show a bit of his herding heritage and loves giving “the eye” to resident dogs when playing fetch. During the past week, he has been showing more stalking and herding than before, so although it’s a little early to say, we wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he proves to have some herding instinct. Currently Xerox lives with four dog-savvy cats and he pays them no attention. Overall Xerox is a moderate to high energy boy who will need a home who can provide him with a good amount of vigorous exercise daily to keep him happy. After he’s all tuckered out, Xerox has a great off switch and happily will take a nap.

Xerox is still just a puppy and will need everything a puppy needs: continued socialization, lots and lots of training, and adopters who have the time and energy to raise a young one right! He is almost 100% house-trained in his vigilant and diligent foster home. He’s crate trained too, and sleeps through the night without a sound. His foster mom is already starting with the basics and given his people-focused nature, Xerox should be an excellent student.

All in all, if you are looking for a puppy with a wonderful nature, Xerox is IT! Xerox is sure to be a most delightful canine companion and is suitable to a wide variety of homes. He’s also good with kids, and loves to sit in their laps for a little snooze after playtime. If you have the time to devote to raising a puppy, and love the thought of a playful little bright-eyed tyke who also loves to cuddle – Xerox may be the one for you! We’ll post more information about Xerox as his personality continues to develop.

Xerox is current on vaccinations, microchipped and living in a loving foster home near Fort Collins, CO. His adoption will include a $100 neuter deposit which will be happily refunded to his adoptive family once proof of neuter (when Xerox is ~6 mths old) is submitted to WBCR.
