Bindi and Theo welcomed eight beautiful puppies on September 2, four boys and four girls, in shades ranging from cream and apricot to rich red.

​

We named this special litter “Butterfly Kisses,” a nod to Bindi's name, which means “butterfly,” and an especially fitting theme for her final litter before retirement.

​

Since being born, the puppies have moved well beyond those sleepy newborn days. Their eyes and ears are open, they are walking, playing and interacting with one another, and their individual personalities are beginning to emerge. Over the coming weeks, their world will continue to expand as we introduce new experiences and carefully watch how each puppy responds and develops.

​

At approximately seven weeks, each puppy will complete professional temperament testing with our nationally certified trainer. Those results, together with our own observations and what we have learned about each family, will help us make the thoughtful puppy matches that are such an important part of the JoaLins program.

​

All eight puppies in Bindi and Theo's Butterfly Kisses litter are reserved and will begin going home to their families at the end of October.”
