Linus D5183

Linus is part of Charlie Brown Litter. Holly, mom is French Bull Dog /Boston Terrier mix.  2/16/24 DNA test results:  Dad was a Cattle Dog 40% and 9% Border Collie.   They should be medium size adults and smart.

Holly was abandoned at a distant shelter and was very pregnant. Linus' DOB: 12/1/23. Once we rescued Holly and she arrived at her foster home, within 2 hours she went into labor and gave birth to 5 puppies. 2 girls and 3 boys. Whew! Just in time. All the pups and mom did great at their foster home. Home raised, healthy, lovable and social. The 5 pups are now learning at their next foster home for puppy training. All are playful, snuggly, and lovable. We do not know what they are mixed with. They seem larger than Frenchie pups and have tails. We will start to review applications Jan 20th. Puppies will be 8 weeks old on Jan. 27th and will get their first vaccinations and deworm. Need home with attached backyard. More info. to come on each puppy's personality.

1/24/24 Update: The 3 boys are fairly similar all playful and slower than the girls. Linus and Snoopy are a little more timid but get more playful when riled up by Brody. All love attention and to be held. They all did very well getting their first shots and these puppies are extremely smart and well behaved for such young puppies. They are learning sit and not to bite and are all doing very, very well. They will make wonderful family pets for someone. Their temperament is fantastic, gentle playful and sweet.

2/9/24 Update, 10 weeks old: Patty is definitely the smallest with smallest paws. Snoopy and Linus are about the same size 12 pounds and Patty is 10 lbs.. I think they will be medium sized dogs. Snoopy and Linus are slower and calmer. Patty is spunky and more independent and curious and a little more Frenchie personality . All learning crate training. Few accidents on pee pads now. They will hold to go out to backyard for potty biz.

3/1/25 Update: Linus is older kid friendly. He loves to get cuddles and loves belly rubs. He poops and pees in backyard. He likes to play with his brother Charlie. They enjoy running and playing with each other. He likes to go for a walk. He is trained to be in a crate to sleep. Able to understand instructions: come, sit, walk, wait, walk with me. In English and Hindi. Linus loves all varieties of dog friendly fruits and vegetables. Loves long drives. Basically he just loves to stay with family.  Need experienced guardian to guide him.

5/2/25 Update: Linus needs and wants routine home.  He gets very nervous with change.  At his foster boarding home and trainer, after a day or two, he is great with large dogs and they run/play.  However, he is reactive to new incoming dogs into their home.  He does fine on walks and did fine at our showcases with new people and other dogs.  

7/11/25 Update:  Linus needs a new foster home due to previous foster home's travels.  He is now in a boarding/training foster home as we search for adopter or foster to adopter. He is smart and learning all commands.  He is social, friendly and great with all dogs and people.  Lovable and very sweet once he adjusts.  Loves running and playing with the adult big dogs and teen pups.  Prefers to have someone around.  Did great with vet exam and everyone adores him.   CATS: Tama vet has an office cat that has walked around him and he didn’t seem to care.
