Steve (formally Rhysand) is apparently not ever planning on being the hunter his dad is 🤣 Though I have to say he’s growing up to look a lot like his dad.

I need to keep up with giving you guys updates!!! This is Tupou (formally Azriel) and he is getting so big and handsome!! This is a little bit of an outdated update (sorry) but if you have one of his siblings or a Ridge/Lettie little feel free to send me an update and some pictures for me to post!!! I love getting them and sharing them ♥️

Training is coming along. He knows sit and come. Almost have lay down mastered. He is taking a bit with potty training because he is too busy playing.
He gets along great with his older brother. They love to play and chase each other. His older brother is teaching him manners.
Tupou is starting to be a cuddler and he loves to chase bumble bees. Great on a leash!
Last vet visit he was 29lbs. He is growing like a w**d.

Just getting some enjoyable outdoors time before it gets too hot. These guys always crack me up stalking each other and then just playing like pups.

Remember dogs are susceptible to heat stroke just like people. Know the signs and keep your furry friends in mind with the coming heat. It can happen quick and is something I want none of you to have to deal with. The signs:

Early Symptoms:

Excessive Panting: Dogs pant to regulate their body temperature, but in heatstroke, panting becomes excessive and labored.
Rapid Breathing: Breathing rate increases significantly, potentially with a lot of effort.
Bright Red Gums and Tongue: The mucous membranes in the mouth may appear flushed or even bruised due to increased blood flow.
Drooling: Excessive salivation can be a sign of heatstroke.
Increased Heart Rate: The heart will beat faster to try and compensate for the overheating.
Restlessness or Agitation: The dog may appear uncomfortable and try to move to cooler places.
Lethargy or Weakness: As the condition progresses, the dog may become tired, sluggish, and weak.

Advanced Symptoms (Require Immediate Veterinary Attention):

Vomiting and/or Diarrhea: These can indicate severe distress and internal damage.
Confusion or Disorientation: The dog may appear dazed, stumble, or have difficulty walking.
Collapse or Seizures: These are signs of severe heatstroke and require emergency veterinary intervention.
Pale or Grey Gums: Pale gums can indicate shock and a serious lack of oxygen.
Unconsciousness: Loss of consciousness is a critical sign of heatstroke.

Did you know bathing your dog though occasionally necessary strips them of their coats natural oils? Over bathing often causes the issue of “smell” that you are trying to get rid of because their oils that normally protect them are stripped from them.

Long before I bred dogs I was a third generation dog groomer and was taught this early. When we send our pups home they’ve had a bath and in the information note I always send home with each pup I make sure to note to not bathe them more than once every 6-8 weeks though the longer the better. Unless someone rolls in something we tend to only bathe our dogs a couple times a year. Even our lighter dogs. Labradors have wonderful double coats that protect them from many things and quite often a good towelling (in the summer a good lake swim) we find they don’t require it.

Though he looks sad, Ridge was actually being given treats and got into the bath on his own 🤣

There’s something about them sleeping I just love ♥️

Sorry for the radio silence, life has been crazy since all the littles went home. We’re also working on solidifying our next couple pairings. What we know right now is that we will have one pairing that will produce all black and another that will produce yellow/fox red. Both will be in the fall with late fall/early winter go home dates! I’m very excited for both of these pairings ♥️

We will also start posting more and sharing updates on all of the littles!

Happy Mothers Day to all the fur and human moms!!

When the raised dog beds aren’t where mom is and you don’t want to go inside because mom isn’t 🤣 They honestly just want to be wherever I am.

Happy 6 months to the Big Bang littles who aren’t so little anymore!! Well it was yesterday but I asked for pictures a little late. These guys were the start of something special for me and Country Heart and they’re so loved by their families. I will add the pictures of the four missing when I get their update ♥️ Exit** two more have been added!

Perfect time of year here for big walks! It’s nice and the mosquito hoards have yet to descend upon us! Now that we’re home I’m working on separating and getting out registrations and registering our most recent litter.

We’re also getting ready to announce our exciting upcoming littles plan!!! We will have one Fox red (most likely darker than our last) and one black. First and second choice female from both is already spoken for and we have a few people to contact but these will have 5-6 spaces each. The plans are for fall again with a go home of late 2025-early 2026. If you want to get on either of these lists before we officially announce don’t hesitate to reach out for more details.
