Josephine... We acquired Josephine during covid, along with Clara both out of Loretta Labrador kennels... I mean we were home... and with Grant teleworking -  we had extra time to puppy train :) <3 OH did I mention we also got Eric during that same window... lol ! 

Josephine, is a jet black gorgeous girl, she has the kindest softest face... and such a sweet beautiful nature about her.  Not that I am comparing my family let alone my beloved Grandmother to a canine, but I named this beautiful puppy after my Grandmother... a stunning woman, that was bright as a star in the hills of West Virginia... she had jet black hair... almost as black as ink, that was in the ink well of her school desk... I often lovingly, remember her many stories throughout my life... and I have hopes that Josephine will be our little bright star as well <3 She is eager to please and gazes at you whilst wagging her tail... she is a gorgeous beauty that we can't wait to watch mature, and hopefully be the star of a specialty show to two! 

Update: So at Josephine's first show... a specialty show at that!!! with over 17 in her competition placed 4th... I know.. I know.. if you "ain't" first your last... lol.. but this is seriously a huge accomplishment!!! We are so proud of her! She is certainly a star and we have several shows lined up for her this spring and summer!
