Ledge "TONGA"
Home with Missy and family in NC!
3-12-21 Update
He got 3rd place in junior showmanship :) it’s a competition at conformation shows for kids 9-18 who are approved as junior handlers. :). We are so thankful that you trusted us with him. He’s simply incredible 🥰
Having a dog of his size on a junior is nearly unheard of, especially as a puppy.

Tonga went to the vet today and weighed in at 36lbs and total perfection 🥰 our vet team is blown away by him. Now at 12 weeks old hes fully potty trained (with lots of positive reinforcement still needed) he knows sit, down, wait and is starting work on stay. He's got loose leash walking, heel, and "place" (which is just the same as "go to bed" or "crate") he plays with our litter of the little puppies now and he's just SO good. he never nips at the our 2 year old son even to play. He likes to chase our boys's life-size play car around the house. His favorite place in the house is the master bathroom over the top of a floor vent. He has a crate in our bedroom where he sleeps and naps right next to our bed. His new mattress is better than ours. He is starting introductions now to the near by trails and mountains to slowly learning his space where he will be working as a rescue/working dog with my husband as he gets older. His favorite toys are the squeeky ones but he only slobbers on them and squishes them and doesn't actually bite down.
I will send a nice family photo as soon as I can manage to get one! Thank you again for the love of our life he's just simply fantastic.

Lonnie Jr. "ATLAS"
As far as we can remember, Atlas is a record-breaker for MFN!
Home with Ed and Shelley (and Moore Family Newfie Ava!) in Fredericksburg, VA!
11-25-20 Update
Atlas hasn’t changed a bit. He still wants to eat everything in sight, leaves included, and if it’s wet and muddy, he wants to lay in it. All the more reasons to love this silly boy! As for Ava, she is as regal as ever and either looking for or hiding from Atlas, her two primary pass times.
7-27-20 Update
We wanted to check in and let you know that Atlas is doing great! The introduction to Ava went exactly as we expected, she was so excited and ready to play. Day two was a bit of a surprise as Ava pulled back a little, displayed a little jealousy and didn’t want much to do with Atlas. However, last night at bedtime when Atlas was having a rough time settling to rest Ava’s true spirit shined through. She came to his side from the outside of his crate, placed her side to the crate and gave him a place to feel comfort so he wouldn’t be alone. He immediately settled and went right to sleep. This morning they were up and playing from the start. They are going to be a great pair. Please enjoy a few pictures of them, we even caught Ava smiling!
Thank you for taking such great care of Atlas for us...we are absolutely in love with this guy already!

Luke Jr. "ODIN"
Now home with Tressa F. in Newport News, VA!
3-1-21 Update
I adore him! He is now 138 lbs at 10 months old. He loves to be loved and be the center of attention. He was fairly easy to train at home and we are slowly working on becoming a certified therapy dog.
12-29-20 Update
Hey,
Just wanted to give yall a little update on Odin. He will be 7 months on Jan 1st and he weighs 110 lbs! I enjoy him so much and he loves everyone he meets. He loves to play with his dog siblings and the cat. He did have allergies in the warmer months but we seem to have that under control now. He is doing really well on a turkey diet. I am considering training him as a therapy dog so if we are successful I'll let you know! Thanks again!

Just wanted to give you an update on Luke jr. His name now is Odin :) He is doing very well and seems to be really happy here. Odin is my shadow, wherever I go there he is!
He just finished his 15 week vet appointment. He is currently 53lbs and up to date with all of his shots. He loves to play and swim with his sisters. He respects my 12 year old lab and gives him his space.
Odin loves to play with his toys, I never see him chewing on something he shouldn't. He is crate trained and potty trained in the house. He knows a few commands like sit, lay down, wait, and high five. He was pretty easy to train, although he can be a little stubborn at times.
Anyways thank you for choosing me to raise him. I have throughly enjoyed him and he is a great addition to the family!
