Bella greets her new family!

Bella has a pretty nice ring to it!!! I guess maybe I am partial since it is a pretty close resemblence of her mother's name but it seems very fitting. The Derifield's picture left to right (Logan, Spencer, Lucas, and Ashley greeted Bella with open arms. Spencer pictured holding Bella has a birthday at the end of this week and this was his birthday suprise. Spencer will be out of town while mom is at home getting Bella accustomed to her new surroundings wrestling in Indianapolis. (Lucky for him he won't have to worry about those first sleepless nights b/c of puppy cries every 45 min or so). He is one of a select group chosen to participate in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling event that could possibly lead to being part of a Junior USA wrestling team so best of luck to him! His mother assurred me that when he is home it will be his job to to take care of Bella's first sleepless nights! It sounded like Bella was going to spend her first night in Spencer's bedroom, so hopefully tomorrow he's still as excited about his new birthday present as he was today. Bella was the most calm of all the pups having a great temperament, and is the one I talked about that would just hang out on the steps when the other 9 were busy playing. She is full of energy and has a willingness to please! The Derifield's live on acreage outside of Waverly, IA so Bella will have plenty of room to run and will spend her first couple of months trying to keep up with the families chocolate lab. Todd and his boys do a majority of waterfowl hunting, and I am sure Bella will be quick to impress. She is a perfect waterfowl dog being so laid back, but having the drive and energy to make those long retrieves. I would say after meetin the first 6 families that I have done pretty well in finding homes for my pups. All of them are getting the love and attention they deserve and I look forward to seeing how Spencer and Bella's friendship grows!
