Wrigley made his show debut yesterday and did not disappoint! He was Best Baby Puppy In Show with his other mum on the end of the leash. And if that wasn’t exciting enough they pulled it off again today! I’m so excited for this young puppy’s future. It’s looking very bright.

On Friday, August 23rd we said our goodbyes to Maniak’s Baby Ruth. ‘Squidgy’ will never be forgotten. Even though her life was way too short she lived it to the fullest.
These 2 litters have taken an emotional toll on me. I don’t know when there will be puppies again as I need to take a break and regroup.

Sunny’s puppies are 8 weeks old today. Everyone aside for 2 will be heading to their new homes in the next few weeks. There likely won’t be any more puppies here until early 2026.

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

The puppies enjoyed the beautiful afternoon. Sunny’s puppies are 5 weeks old. Roothie’s girl will be 4 weeks on Friday. Everyone is doing well. Looks like all the puppies are rough coats.

Roothie’s little girl is over 24 hrs old. She’s doing amazing. Roothie is starting to settle in and look after her more and more.
Sunny’s chunky monkeys are now 11 days old. Eyes are starting to open. White boy is massive! Everything about him is excessive 🤣

Today we welcome Roothie’s little red daughter. She came via emergency c section this morning. Roothie did beautifully and is taking to motherhood really well. RIP to the black and tan boy.
I’m extremely exhausted and will get to messages eventually. For now I need to concentrate on the new moms and babies.

Puppies are 5 days old and doing amazing. Sunny is a great mom. I’m sure you can tell she makes sure her babies are well fed. And before Trina pops in here it’s boy, girl, girl, boy and boy. This will be the Candy litter.

Early Tuesday morning Sunny delivered 5 healthy puppies. 2 girls and 3 boys. Everyone is doing well.
