He's quite a lucky boy, actually. I first met him at 5.5 weeks (I think), and I put a deposit down on him a few days later. After we put the deposit down, never heard from the breeder, and their phone was disconnected. I found out later they had a fire that destroyed their home and killed 18 dogs - 10 puppies, 5 adult Britts, and 3 Chihuahuas, because their house had bad wiring. Luckily, all the humans got out alive, also Fender, 3 littermates, and 3 puppies from another litter. (No, they're not a mill, two females that they wanted to breed came into heat a week apart.) Miraculously, Fender as we know him now was the puppy I chose from the litter before the fire. So, he's pretty special to me.

ETA: Here's the breeder's webpage. www.ataboy.ca The husband hunts with the dogs, and the wife and kids show them, so the dogs are truly dual purpose. Fender's mom (RB) is from hunting lines, and his father is from show lines.

Oh, he is adorable!! Will his eyes stay that color, or will they change darker?
Also, just curious how you came about his name? Having a musician boyfriend the first thing I think of is Fender guitars. lol

All the adult Britts I've seen have hazel or brown eyes. They've changed already. When we got him @ 8 weeks and 5 days, they were very bright deep blue, whereas now, he's 11 weeks tomorrow, and they're bluey-green. Yes, I named him after Fender guitars. I fully plan to get a second dog named Gibson once I move out .

Here's his auntie Ivana

I love the color of his eyes!! They will probably look like his Aunties then, beautiful!
We thought about those names with Zoee, but they are more masculine names. I love it!!!
