Gus and Esme caught up for a puppy playdate on the weekend, enjoying a swim at their local lake. They absolutely loved it!! So nice to get these updates from our families 🩵💜.

One year without you. What we would give to play ball with you again. Miss you every day 💔

One of our favourite things about being on holidays is spending more time with these guys. Dakota (5) and Axl (6 months).

We often get asked what we feed our dogs. So....every second weekend we meal prep. Our meat haul today included:

15kg chicken frames
1kg sardines/pilchards
1kg lamb chunks
3kg beef mince
2kg duck mince
1kg rabbit mince
1kg turkey mince
500g duck feet
1kg lamb bones
Eggs from our chooks

Offal measured and bagged this morning which included liver, kidney, heart, giblets, and tripe.

Tomorrow morning we are off to the local farmers market to get our fresh fruit and veg.

It takes some time to prepare the meals but completely worth the effort. Finding a good butcher/raw feed stockist and buying/ordering in bulk saves money if on a budget 🐾🐾

Any offers to wash this mud monster? It's the 3rd bath he has had this week 😫🙈

Looking forward to the weekend after a long, busy week. Sunny's got the right idea! (Grandeaux Soleil Blanc - 4 months old)

Our gorgeous Sunny girl 🤍💛 - she has a lot to offer our kennels physically and in pedigree. She is the sweetest pup and we are looking forward to watching her mature.

Our boy got lots of cuddles when he went in for his 2nd vaccination at our vet clinic a few weeks ago 🧡🖤

This face sure does melt your heart! Meet Axl, the beautiful Dogue de Bordeux!

He sure does have a lot of growing to do as these dogs can get right up to 65kg +! They are an ancient breed originating in France as a guardian breed. Those of us who are a bit older might also recognise him as the breed of dog that starred in Turner and H***h.

We can’t wait to see how this very handsome little man grows and develops over the next year. 🐾🐶🐾

Some people have asked how the pups have been settling into their new homes. They have all been amazing! Learning new things, going on adventures, making new friends.... and most importantly, adored by their new families. Here is a snapshot from this month.

Jase and Bek picked up their gorgeous girl, Esme, on Saturday. Esme is such a smoochy, cuddly girl. She reminds us a lot of her mumma, Molly. Thank you Jase and Bek for taking on this little princess. We know she will bring so much joy to your family, including Sasha 🐾

22/08/2023

It was a big day on Saturday with this family picking up their pup, Hank. He is a big boy, weighing almost 12kg at 10 weeks old. Thank you Erin and Matt for taking on this gorgeous boy. We love him and know he will be a perfect addition to your "boys club" 😎.

13/08/2023

Gus (Sky Blue boy) embarking on his next adventure with his new family. We know he will be very loved by Mark, Nicki, and the girls. Thank you for taking on this very special boy 🩵🩵🩵

Almost 8 weeks old. Wow! Cannot believe how quickly time has passed. We have started interviewing our potential puppy families and co-ordinating home visits. Not long before they will be going home with their new forever families. Will miss them a lot 🧡

Dakota impatiently waiting for her little human to wake up from her afternoon nap.

25/07/2023

6 weeks old. The pups had their first vet visit yesterday. Health checks, vaccinations, and microchipping. It was a big outing for them but they all handled it so well. A 60-minute return car ride, new environment, unfamiliar people handling them etc. The pups were so tired once home that they all needed a powernap before dinner. 💤💤

16/07/2023

5 weeks old. The pups had their first play outside yesterday and got their nails trimmed (108 nails in total 😵‍💫). Royal Blue boy on the left and Green boy on the right. These boys are now 5kg!!! Model holding the pups did not want to be identified lol 😆

09/07/2023

4 weeks old. The pups are walking around and their little legs are getting stronger each day. They love exploring the world beyond the whelping box. We have slowly started weaning but they are not too keen on that idea...as nothing beats mum's milkbar 😆 😋

05/07/2023

🐾🐾 Just cause they're cute 🐾🐾

01/07/2023

3 weeks old. Look at these chubby bubbies 😍

28/06/2023

On rainy days we SPA at Petbarn!!
✔️ wash
✔️ blow wave
✔️ mani & pedi
✔️ ears

24/06/2023

The puppies are now 2 weeks old and are absolutely thriving....look at those milk drunk bellies! They are weighing-in between 1.8-2.0kg. Some of them have even started opening their eyes.

We just want to apologize to the families that have messaged us. Time has been so limited over the past two weeks. We will respond to all your messages in the next day or so. Thank you for your patience xx

20/06/2023

Puppies are now 10-days old. Some of their favourite things include: drinking, sleeping, and pooping. They are growing incredibly quick. Currently, they are weighing between 1.2kg and 1.5kg - which is more than double their birth weights. Molly is also doing well, and has been a great mum to these chunky monkeys.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Our RAINBOW LITTER has finally arrived. Born on Saturday night, we have 4 boys and 2 girls. Sadly, sweet little Red girl gained her wings yesterday from a congenital complication. All the other pups are doing really well and Molly is the most amazing mumma. So proud.

Special thanks to Gav and Rach, Tracey (Nanmas DDB), and Jeanette.

Take a look at this boy!!!! Not even 2 years old 😮. Sherman is the son of our boy Diesel. Looking more and more like his dad as he matures...and has a temperament to match too. We love getting updates from his breeder Almastem Kennels - Taranaki, NZ.
