Story
Introducing the Bridgerton Pups Born in foster care and already taking society by storm, we are delighted to introduce the Bridgerton litter. Six weeks old, beagle mixed, and blessed with the most glorious floppy ears, rich tan and gold markings, crisp white accents, and fashionable black detailing, these puppies arrived looking like they were dressed for a season debut. Lady Whistledown would absolutely approve. Meet FrancescaFrancesca is the social butterfly of the Bridgerton litter and she has absolutely no interest in playing it cool. She loves everyone, she loves everything, and the moment you reach down to give her pets she lights up like you have made her entire day. Much like her namesake, Francesca has a warmth and openness about her that draws people in immediately. She is the puppy who will have you saying yes before you even realize what happened.

Lady Whistledown would absolutely approve. Meet Marcus Marcus had a bit of a dramatic start. There was a time when a mere glance in his direction was enough to send him into full theatrical protest. He has since reconsidered his position on human affection and has come around in the most charming way possible. He now welcomes your attention with the quiet confidence of a man who knows his worth. The glow up is real and Marcus is here for it.

That rich, deep chocolatey brown coat is something truly special, the kind of color that stops you mid sentence and makes you say out loud that you cannot believe how gorgeous this puppy is. He is the Duke of the litter in every way, effortlessly striking and impossible to ignore. Simon is going to turn heads wherever he goes and honestly he deserves every bit of the attention.

Lady Whistledown would absolutely approve. Meet Colin Colin is the other golden retriever of the Bridgerton litter in personality if not in breed. He loves people, he loves life, and he approaches every interaction with an open heart and a wagging tail. He is also, through no fault of his own, Benedict's most frequent target. He takes it in stride with the kind of easy good nature that makes you adore him immediately. Colin is the puppy who will get along with absolutely everyone and make his new family feel like the luckiest people in the world.

He is scrappy, playful, and has a particular fondness for getting into mischief with his siblings. He approaches life with the carefree confidence of someone who has never once doubted himself. He is going to need a home with a good sense of humor and ideally some space to run, because Benedict has things to do and places to be and he is not slowing down for anyone.
