Tot

My story

🐾 Meet TOT — The Irresistible Shepherd Mix Puppy! Name: Tot (like “tater tot”—tiny but packed with personality!) Breed: Likely Black Mouth Cur × Shepherd mix Age: 10–12 weeks old Camp Life: Tot spent a fantastic week at kids camp, where he thrived from the constant socialization and love he received—a testament to how well he adjusts to new people and pups nahf.org . 🌟 Puppy Personality & Needs Highly Social & Confident The critical socialization window (3–12 weeks) is prime time, and Tot has nailed it—he’s learning doggy manners, reading social cues flawlessly, and blossoming in safe, structured environment. Smart & Trainable This mix is known for intelligence and eagerness to please, responding extremely well to gentle, positive-reinforcement training. Tot is already making strides with potty-training and basic manners! Energetic & Active Both Black Mouth Cur and Shepherd breeds require ample daily exercise (an hour or more), mental stimulation, and play. Tot would thrive with regular walks, yard play, or puppy agility courses. Cuddle-Loving & Affectionate When he’s done burning energy, Tot melts into your lap—“all-cuddles-all-day” is his motto. And honestly? Who can resist that face—with eyebrows that could charm socks off anyone!
