Litter update on 09 Dec. 2024 •These two cuties- Wendell and Merry- made it to their forever families this last week. They are doing so well with their new families and are getting settled in nicely. We sure miss having them at our home but we are so grateful they are with their forever families!

Litter update on 03 Dec. 2024 •…It was a big day for puppies going to their forever homes. We met halfway for Magnolia’s family and Teddys family, yesterday. Teddy and Magnolia both did great last night in their new homes. We love hearing how well everyone is doing. It makes all the deliberate hard work getting these puppies ready for their forever homes worth every minute! We also got a deposit for our last available puppy so we are excited about that as well! It’s a very Merry Christmas for these sweet puppies indeed!

Litter update on 29 Nov. 2024 •…Here is our sweet Dare. He is still available for his forever home. He is so sweet and chill. He is very human focused. I often look down and see him looking up at me just waiting to see what we do next. He is tenderhearted and confident with new situations. He has great nerve strength and resilience and handles and manages stress well. He loves to be pet and held and loved and cuddled. He is a big cuddle bug. He really wants to make his humans happy. He is great with kids, other dogs and cats and animals. He is going to be the best dog for a very lucky family! Send a message for more details.
