Announcing the youngest member of the Big Trade Up family and the most loveable trade #13 we could imagine…. Puppy. We were so fortunate to meet Justin Micek of Isanti, an avid hunter and single guy who had his life consumed when his AKC certified purebred champion labs decided to have 10 puppies. The good thing for Justin is that based on their bloodlines, they bring in $800-$1000 per dog. Justin quickly sold 7 of the 10 with very little marketing but being a single guy with a full-time job, two months of raising puppies can wear a guy down, especially when you’re as selective as Justin in choosing the owners for his dogs. Justin was excited to hear about the Big Trade Up and saw it as a great way to maximize exposure to find a perfect home for one of his little buddies. Not to mention with one less dog we get him one step close to the freedom he remembers.

So with much assurance that one of his favorite pups would be in good hands, we introduce you to Puppy. In addition to champion hunting bloodlines, this 61 day old (8 ½ weeks) male black lab would be the perfect family dog. He is fluffy like a little bear cub, extremely mellow with a gentle personality but don’t get me wrong… very playful too. He has all of his shots, dew claws and vet examination taken care of. We have all of AKC paperwork, vet exam info and registration that will make it easy for the new owner.

So where is Puppy you might ask? Much of the appeal to Justin was one less puppy in the Justin house, that means Puppy’s very temporary playpen has become the DelDotto house. While it is fun to have a little buddy for our own lab and kids to play with, dad has picked up many chores like cleaning accidents, unlocking the puppy jaws of life from screaming kids, picking up broken glass and of course trying to get Puppy to go to the bathroom outside in the middle of the night. So help us find this guy a perfect home where these puppy chores can be enjoyed as a long-term investment going towards the best pet you’ll ever own. Plus Puppy needs a name, we’re saving that for you!

If you are interested please send us your offer but more importantly tell us about the home he would be going to, do you own other pets, have you had pets in the past, ect. While I joke about the extra chores, there will be no rush to find Puppy a new home and we will be very selective to make sure he finds the perfect home with his rightful owner. Puppy comes with a new 24″ kennel, a 15 lb bag of food, his blaze orange collar and a toy to get you started!
