Story
Meet Espresso Splash of Cream!
Good things take time to brew, and Espresso is proof of that — this 4-month-old Pointer/Labrador Retriever mix is one of the four adorable pups from the "Café" litter, and he's exactly the kind of dog who reveals himself slowly, in the best way. He's dressed in a beautiful white coat covered in the cutest tan details: a striking patch around his right eye, little cow-like spots scattered across his back, and a dipped tail that ties his whole one-of-a-kind look together.
Of all the Café puppies, Espresso is the more reserved and thoughtful one. While some of his siblings might dive headfirst into the middle of everything, Espresso prefers to take it all in first. You'll often find him quietly sniffing around a new environment, carefully checking things out, and giving himself a little time to decide that everything is okay before he settles in. It's not shyness so much as a gentle, observant nature — he just likes to look before he leaps.
Espresso has also grown up alongside his three Café Litter siblings, giving him wonderful early socialization with other young puppies. He's accustomed to playing, exploring, and sharing his world with his brothers and sister, and continued positive socialization will help his confidence keep growing.
Like any puppy his age, Espresso is still early in his training journey. His forever family should be ready to continue working on potty training, crate training, leash skills, basic commands, and positive socialization with patience and consistency as he grows.
This sweet boy would especially appreciate a family that understands the magic of a slower, softer approach. Let him sniff. Let him observe. Give him some gentle encouragement and affection without expecting too much too quickly. It doesn't take Espresso long to come around, and watching that playful, affectionate puppy emerge makes the wait completely worth it.
Espresso is thoughtful, inquisitive, affectionate, and oh-so-sweet. Give this handsome spotted boy a little time to get comfortable, and he'll happily show you just how much puppy love he's been brewing.
