Exciting times ahead…

🐾 Every breeder knows this moment, that little buzz on your phone a few days after a puppy goes home.

The message starts sweet:

“We love him, but…”

And you already know what’s coming next. But he barks. But he nips. But he cries at night. But he’s just “a lot.”

And it breaks your heart a little every time, because what they’re describing isn’t a “problem.”

It’s a puppy.

A baby learning the world outside of their mum and littermates. They’re confused, overstimulated, excited, and scared sometimes all at once, and that’s normal.

But people today want easy. They want the version they see online the one that sits calmly, never chews a shoe, and somehow knows “sit” by eight weeks.

They forget that behind every well-mannered dog is someone who put in the work, the patience, the boundaries, the grace.

When someone says, “He’s adorable, but I don’t think we’re a good fit,”

What they often mean is: I wanted the love without the learning curve.

Even the most beautifully raised puppies don’t come pre-programmed. They come ready to grow with you. To learn your rhythms, your tone, your energy. They don’t need perfection they need patience.

Some people confuse an easy puppy with a good one. But the truth is, every puppy is good they’re just new.

And new things are messy before they’re magical.

As breeders, we see it all. We comfort the ones who come back scared, unsure, wondering what they did wrong. We remind them softly: “You didn’t do anything wrong, baby.”

Because it’s never their fault that someone wasn’t ready for the hard parts that make the best parts possible.

Raising a puppy isn’t instant. It’s sleepless nights, puddles on the floor, little teeth on fingers and the sweetest bond you’ll ever build.

A puppy isn’t a project, or a phase, or something to “try.”

It’s a commitment. A piece of your heart on four legs.

If you’re not ready for the messy parts of puppyhood, that’s okay just wait until you can give your whole heart.

Because these little souls deserve nothing less 💜🐾

Happy 7th Birthday to the What A Litter.

14/09/2025

Today the early promise we saw in Purple (Peppa) finally came to fruition.

Such a chunky puppy and gained the name Peppa for the Pig reasons as she really liked her grub, as she matured she went through quite a few developmental phases and took her time to body up.

She was top Bracco Puppy in 2021 and has had great results when we showed her across Europe, but today she became the first UK Bracco Champion bred here at Kelevra.

We always turn to people for advice and have many people to thank.

Two Kelevra’s enjoying the sunset in Bermuda by boat, whilst their humans enjoy a swim up buffet birthday celebration in the water.

Abby (Dalmatian) already had her sea legs but Anna (Bracco) is quickly getting hers.

Both of them living their best lives out in the sunshine ☀️ ❤️ 🐶
