    Aurora is a 10-week old Siberian Husky-Retriever mix. She loves her toys and, like most pups, loves to play, play, play! Don't let her fluffy fur fool you. Aurora is ready to win at Puppy Bowl IX.

    This Labrador Retriever-Australian Shepherd mix is named Chestnut. The 9-week old puppy loves to snuggle.
