Six months later, Applejack finally decides what to do with the puppies. She will keep five of them and sells the other five. The five she decides to keep are one that is light brown with a black eye spot, one that's pure black, one that's black with a white tipped tail, another that's brown with a white tipped tail, and one that is light brown with a light brown mask pattern around it's eyes. The next day, she puts the other five up for sale, the ones that are mainly white with only a few brown or black markings. 

After an hour of standing there with the box of puppies, Applejack finally sells all five off. She sold the first one to a mare named Alabaster Pearl. She sold the second one to the Cakes since the twins were begging for a puppy to call their own. The third she sold to a stallion named Flathoof. The fourth she sold to Twilight's parents. The final puppy she sold to Rara. She's glad some of the puppies went to her friends or her friends' families. To her, that means the world. Now, she has to train the remaining five puppies how to herd and that's going to be the trickiest challenge of all. 

Two years later, the other five puppies, whom she named Winnie, Spot, Tubby, Minnie, and Applett, are proper herd dogs. They do every roundup with her and Winona. They help keep bats out of the orchards. Applejack is glad she kept them around. She now knows that that was the best choice she could've made. In a few weeks time, now, she's going to enter them in the Youth Herd Dog Show in Appleloosa. She can't wait!
