First day home, Jan 24th, 2010. Ruger fell instantly in love with his daddy John, and John actually teared up when he first laid eyes on him. John's favorite dog is Shevaun and this boy brought some Shevaun back into our lives.

Ruger (7 weeks)is coming together nicely. It is harder to see structure on this boy this week, as he was cold and tired from a dip in the pond right before his photo session. We can see good things on this boy though and will capture better photos at 8 weeks during evaluations.
