OMG! thse are really cute pups! freckles is so adorable. i couldn't stand to hear those puppies bark, and ya know it's just gonna get louder as they get older. i think it's really nice that you are working with them to try and teach them manners. our neighbors have a large sheltie and a 3 legged lab mix and they are both very un-socelized and bark all the time.
