The Brady Bunch - ADOPTED

Meet the Puppies

The Brady Bunch litter were surrendered to the rescue as an unwanted litter. Their mother is a purebred black German Wired Hair Pointer, and their father is unknown. As part of the surrender, the mother was spayed to avoid future unwanted litters. Thankfully, they were surrendered when they were age appropriate, at around 7 weeks old and after they weaned off their mother’s milk. The pups looked to be well taken care off with full bellies and happy hearts, and we are thankful hey found their way to a rescue before making it to the side of the road.

These six pups were lucky enough not to every live on the street, and thus they are happy, curious, brave, and feisty little pups. With love, patience, structure, and PROFESSIONAL balanced training, we are confident they will be amazing canine companions.

Temperament

Anyone who knows the German Wired OR Short Haired Pointer breed knows that these types of dogs are ACTIVE. They are not for the faint of heart, and those with experience with this breed of dog (or similar breeds) are preferred. They are active, happy, healthy, curious, puppies who are ready for exposure to their new life experiences. They are a smidge shy to start, but eager to make friends with new humans and canines! They are curious, funny, playful, and very affectionate. Where there is a lap, there’s an opportunity for cuddles.

With continued proper socialization and professional training (A MUST), they will be great family members. Given their breed guess, these pups are not yard dogs, and those adopting should expect regular walks, adventures, and activity. More personality details below.

Needs

These puppies NEED a back yard, this breed is not well suited for city small living. They don’t need a huge yard, but they need to be able to burn some of that energy outside! Traditional fencing is NOT required.
These puppies would love dog siblings or friends. They love to play, and do well with senior dogs correcting them. They just want to play with those who want to play, and snuggle who those who just want to tolerate them.
These puppies will be best suited to an to a very active family or couple, willing to give them regular walks and playtime, and when age appropriate, runs, and trails adventures. They should continue socialization with other dogs through puppy play dates.
Adopters should be ready to start PROFESSIONAL training with one of our recommended trainers around six-nine months old to continue proper dog socialization, work on nice leash manners, and heel-side walking, structured walking, place command, and prepare for off-leash remote collar fun.

Those with balanced training experience, and slip lead/prong/remote collar experience are preferred but not required!

As an organization, we prefer balanced training over positive only, which is balanced between positive rewards, but also rules and structure to set boundaries. We are firm believers that the more rules you have for your dog when they are young, the more freedom they earn as they get older. So set down expectations and boundaries for your dog now with a trainer and the right tools, so they can be part of all the family fun!

Those who don’t believe in rules, routine, and structure for your dog, need not apply.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, we will only consider applicants where one adult has a more flexible schedule, as puppies are a lot of work, and will require potty breaks, exercise, training and continued human and dog socialization as they grow up.

Crate/Potty Training

All puppies and dogs rescued by FAVOR are crate trained, sleeping in the crate from 8pm-6am (with a potty break around 11pm), and accustomed to some day crate time as well. Puppies also understand the basic concept of peeing outside, but there is ALWAYS a transition period where crate cries and potty accidents WILL HAPPEN in a new home, as the dog transitions to new rules and ways to communicate.

We always recommend keeping dogs crated during nap times, bed time, and when they are alone to protect them from danger such as chewing on cords, socks, and other objects. Foreign objects can get stuck in their stomachs which can result in a very expensive surgery. We also encourage using the crate like a bedroom for your dogs as they get older, where they can take naps, take a break from human interaction, and have a time out. More importantly, the crate provides them a safe place to go to when things get overwhelming, like a lot of people, loud noises, extreme weather. Think of the crate as their “den,” and a place for them to unwind. We all need a break sometimes! Here’s a typical puppy schedule, written by our partner trainers, to get you started!
