Sarge came home to us at eight weeks old in the spring of 2024. From the first day, he picked Elizabeth as his person. If you visit, you will see him trailing her from room to room.

What is Sarge like?

We have a no-dogs-on-the-furniture rule, and Sarge found the loophole. He does not climb up. He just puts his front paws on the cushion, lays his head in your lap, and waits for you to pet him. We let him get away with it every time.

He eats snow every winter. Not a taste, but whole mouthfuls. He also made friends with our rooster, Brooster, and the two of them chase each other around the yard. When our youngest drives her little pink truck through the backyard, Sarge runs right beside her.

He wrestles with Ryder all day. However, the second a puppy joins in, he changes. He gets gentle and lets the puppy climb on him and chew his ears. When visitors come, he walks up, sits, and waits to be petted. That calm is what we wanted in our program.

What does his coat look like?

Sarge is chocolate with white parti patches and silver-gray roan ticking mixed through the brown. When the light hits him right, the ticking almost sparkles. His coat is a soft, curly fleece, and it does not shed much.

Has Sarge had puppies?

Yes, one litter. Sarge and Cherry had eight puppies on June 19, 2025, in the middle of a thunderstorm and a power outage. We called it the Thunder Storm litter. Reese, one of our moms today, is one of those puppies. You can see the 8-week photos on our available puppies page.

How was Sarge health tested?

Sarge's genetic panel was done through Paw Print Genetics, which is now part of Orivet. His full color and coat genetics are on our Moms and Dads page. Read what each test means on our health testing page.

Is Sarge still breeding?

Not right now. He still lives with us, and he still greets every family at the door. If you come for a visit, you will meet Sarge too. Just watch your lap.
