Markings:

 Blaze: The Blaze is ther white vertical Stripe between the eyes.

---

 Solid Head: Having a solid head means the dog does not have a white blaze on the face. They may still have white around the muzzle

---

 Open Marking: A dog is open marked when they have lots of white markings & designs on the back, rather than just the traditional black saddle back.

---

 Bandana:  A banadana is the white around the back of their neck. It looks like they are wearing a white bandana around their neck!

---

Sizes:

 Standard Size: Regular size puppies born to a Standard Mother.
Adult Standards are 13" -15" to the dog's shoulders. A small standard is closer to shorter 13", while a large standard is the longer legged 15".
Weight varies, most of our adult standards are around 19-27 lbs.

 Runt Size: The shorter or more petite puppies in a standard mom's litter.  Or, all the puppies born to a Runt-Sized mother.
Runt sized puppies usually have a good chance of becoming a Mini sized adult, or a  petite small standard.

 Mini Size: Puppies are considered to be Mini when the litter is born to a Mini sized Mother, or they are the smaller sized puppies from a Runt sized mother's litter.
Adult Mini sizes are 12" and under to the shoulders. Weight varies, often influenced by diet growing up. Most of our mini adults are 14-19 lbs

 Nano size: Exceptionally tiny puppies, usually receive extra attention or supervision to be sure the bigger puppies don't push them out of the way.
We care about each puppy's health, so we take the time to guide each one & make sure that none of our newborns struggle for milk.
Our Nanos are usually the Runt of a Mini sized litter, or born to a Nano Sized mother. They are less common, so for waiting's sake, its good to be open to mini size as a preference as well.

Extra:

 Litter: A litter is the group of puppies a mother has had.

  Newborn: A newborn puppy will begin its first 2 weeks of life with its eyes closed, and those 2 weeks will consist of constant nursing, snuggling, and sleeping.
Most all Tricolor newborns will start off with only Black & White colors, and will later develop their red/tan coloring on their head and shoulder.
Many Orange newborns start off with black hues mixed in, and will lose this black as they grow, and develop into a rich Orange color.

 Available: Puppies are sometimes announced as Available, which enables new interests to ask about being considered for approval as an appropriate match to adopt that puppy. We first consider the matches within our pre-approved waiting list, and if there is no one left in line ready for a puppy and matching that puppy's Color, Size, Gender, Coming Home Timeframe, markings or other preferences, then we can consider new potential homes for these puppies to go into.

 Possible Match: A puppy has possible matches when we have already approved a family or families for the waiting list, and their preferences match that puppy's characteristics. They may or may not choose to claim the puppy, based on personal adoration, added preferences such as markings, or most commonly a delayed acceptable timeframe for welcoming a puppy into their household.

 Claimed: A puppy is announced as being claimed when they have been reserved by deposit for someone. They are no longer available to the public, and are under our care until they are ready to enter their forever home. Families of claimed puppies watch the website to see updates of their puppy growing up in our home.
