Female puppy Natasha Romana, aka the first Black Widow.
The Black Widow is a Russian spy that is on the Avengers. She was raised by a Russian soldier who caught her when she was thrown from a burning building. She was a superb student, athlete and ballerina. She was skilled with a lot of weapons, and many people liked her. I thought this would be cool because the girl puppy is, well, black.

It's impossible, when doing outside shots, to tell who is who, so we opted for a quick face shot today. We are very busy caring for the pups and getting things ready for them to go to their new families this weekend.

They are doing what they were bred to do - their instincts are telling them to hunt and kill game and their toys are the substitute right now for the real thing.
