***Highlighting Neema Zae*** many of you have been asking about our Neema here and when there there will be the opportunity to get a hold of one of her pups. I understand fully. She's growing up to be drop dead gorgeous. Solid, wide, blocky, very light in color and a happy go lucky personality. She is cleared 100% genetically but is not old enough yet to get her other health clearances performed yet. If she passes those like we hope, we are looking at about 1 year, give or take her heat cycle until she will begin the process of bringing new pups of her own to many of you. For those that are future planners, you can hopefully expect Neema pups summer 2026 🩷

***Updated - Both Litters are now fully reserved*** keep an ear open for news on Leia pups soon.***
We finally have a projected time frame for new puppies around here! And not just a handful of pups either... Meiko and Isla both have decided to team up and bless double the amount of families together. In the perfect scenario we'll have 2 new litters of pups early June. We are extremely excited for what's ahead! Only a couple placements left available within these 2 litters. Reach out soon!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY Tonka! To, hands down, the best dog by far I've ever had the privilege of knowing, let alone owning. His pups he's produced this year have mirrored his priceless demeanor and changed so many lives so far. May the year ahead continue to bring many more Tonk's to many more families. Happy Birthday boy. It's been an incredible 2 yrs. With you 💙 Today it's Tonka's Time

Happy Birthday to our darling Meiko girl! In 4 yrs. She has blessed so many families with her 'smiles for miles' pups that I couldn't be more proud of.
It has been an honor to have her here in our program. She is going to have the opportunity here again very soon to be a mama one more time and then she heads into retirement. An amazing couple has been chosen to be her forever after home where I am confident she will be loved and spoiled till the ends of her days. They are much anticipating her arrival this summer. Happy 4th Birthday beautiful girl ❤️

The chill has lifted and the snow creeps silently away. The air gets less crispy and the coziness returns. The grass reappears and the crocus sprouts emerge. The ground is overly wet and certain areas of my yard hold too much water. Mud gets created as visitors come in. Snow turns to rain and soaks....
