What is the cost of your puppies? This is by far the most common question.. As the economy suffers we all experience price increases. Our goal really, is to be as reasonably priced as possible due to the increased expenses that go hand in hand with maintaining the quality of our dogs and raising puppies (trust me, they are living better than me! lol)

Remember that the impact of bringing a well-bred purebred puppy into your life goes beyond the initial cost. A responsible and ethical breeder invests significant resources in raising a potential show or breeding dog, with the future in mind. These breeders dedicate thousands of dollars to ensure that the female or male dog meets all necessary health clearances before being considered for their breeding program. This meticulous process not only safeguards the health and quality of the future generations but also contributes to the betterment of the breed as a whole.

Furthermore, the journey towards producing a healthy litter involves a series of essential steps, each playing a crucial role in shaping the future of the breed. From pre-breeding exams conducted by specialized reproduction veterinarians to hormone testing and securing stud fees, every aspect demands attention to detail and expertise. Additionally, considerations such as shipping costs for obtaining semen, breeding expenses, and ultrasound procedures all contribute to the comprehensive approach required for responsible breeding practices.

In essence, the true cost of a well-bred purebred puppy extends far beyond the financial aspect, reflecting the commitment of ethical breeders to the future well-being and sustainability of their beloved breeds. By understanding and appreciating the dedication and investment involved in this process, one can truly grasp the value and impact of responsible breeding practices on the future of canine companionship.

Did you know that as many as 40% of dogs suffer from allergies? Environmental allergies in dogs are actually more common than food allergies. If your dog has allergy symptoms, keep reading to learn about natural solutions.

What Causes Environmental Allergies In Dogs?
Allergies happen when your dog’s immune system overreacts to triggers like pollen, dust, and mold, causing redness, itching, sneezing, and irritation.

Symptoms of Environmental Allergies
- Itching and scratching
- Hives
- Ear infections
- Hair loss
- Chewing or licking paws
- Sneezing
- Runny eyes

Natural Remedies For Environmental Allergies
1. Bovine Colostrum: Boosts immunity and reduces symptoms. Give 1/16 tsp powdered colostrum per 25 lbs daily.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar: Relieves itching. Use foot baths, body rinses, or sprays.
3. Bee Pollen: Desensitizes your dog to local pollens. Start with one granule and increase to 1 tsp per 30 lbs daily.
4. Herbs: Nettles and Astragalus boost the immune system. Use tinctures or teas.
5. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Regulate inflammation. Use green-lipped mussel oil or ahiflower oil.
6. Quercetin: Contains antihistamines to stop inflammation. Add quercetin-rich foods like apples, berries, and broccoli to your dog’s diet.

Additional Tips
- Feed a fresh, raw diet.
- Change furnace filters often.
- Wipe your dog down with a damp cloth.
- Use natural cleaning products.

These tips and remedies can help keep your dog comfortable all year long.

With long summer days and the temperatures rising it’s so important to know the warning signs and what to do to keep your pet safe this summer.

06/16/2024

This is 💯

"My dog doesn't like car rides."

"My dog hates the vet."

"I can't cut my dog's nails."

"S(he) won't eat her food unless I add a little [human food] to it."

"My dog hates other dogs."

"S(he) will *be fine* once s(he) gets used to you."

"My dog is afraid of [thing/place/person/etc]."

"My dog hates the crate."

"My dog can't be left alone."

With precious few exceptions, all of these things are completely avoidable, so they never happen or can be fixed with appropriate effort.

The reason these behaviors appear is because owners never thought they needed to condition the dog to accept these things. At the very first sign of protest by the dog, the owner stops whatever they are doing and the dog registers that protest makes what the dog doesn't like, stop.

The next time the owner reenacts the same scenario, the dog doubles its effort, perhaps even quicker, and the owner stops again.

It doesn't matter what it is, what the dog's takeaway from each encounter, is when I fight, I win.

It could be as simple as holding a puppy, or putting equipment on the dog.

Owners make these things a struggle and heavily reinforce the dog every time they allow the dog to escape or avoid consequence for refusal or failure.

By the time the dog is a practiced adult, there will come a time where these things will need to be done, and either the owner, a veterinarian, some other caregiver, will be the recipient of a fair bit of fury when the dog exercises his memory of fast refusals at the first whiff of conflict, weighing in at adult weights, and having formed adult opinions.

It doesn't take much to prevent these things, but folks have their work cut out for them when they try to remediate these issues after they have been hardened by lack of conditioning.

Your dog is more than capable of learning how to be confined, restrained, groomed, approached safely by strangers, travel, etcetera.

What stands in the way of where you are now, and success, is knowing what to do, how to do it, and the effort necessary to get it all done.

We're here when you're ready.

Dear Small Breeder…. I see you!

I see you pouring your heart and soul into those bi***es praying for a good heartbeat check.

I see you, missing family gatherings because a bitch needs bred. Or one is about to whelp..

I see you, sleepless nights hoping nothing goes wrong at whelping time.

I see you, crying because you lost a puppy, mom or both.

I see you, struggling wondering which incentives to pay into. Because everyone wants them all paid into every incentive possible.

I see you, as you are saying goodbye to the dog that started it all… wondering if you should keep going.

I see you, struggling on which bitch to breed to which stud to hopefully make someone’s super star!

I see you, smiling because it all went right this time!

I see you, smiling because someone called to tell you how much they love that puppy you produced. And it is their heart dog!

Keeping going small breeder! Because without you, there are a lot of people missing out on that once in a life time dog

There is NO such thing as a designer Corso!! Never has been or will be. If you are producing merle puppies out of your Corso bitch you are producing MUTTS and are nothing but a back yard breeder and we damn well know youre not health testing your dogs!
For those in the market for a puppy do your homework, its not that hard to find a reputable breeder who prides themselves in preserving and protecting our breed We health test, arent out here waving out arms, using slang or saying designer, we show, work or are in some form of sport, we know the lineage behind our dogs and breed for health, temperament anf functionality.
So if you see someone producing puppies that are out of standard, cant speak like a educated adult, cant show you proof of OFA/Pennhip testing that have puppies for $1000 dont walk but RUN as fast as you can AWAY!!

End of rant..

I loved them first💕

"Dear Past And Future Puppy Owners

I loved them first. I thought of you years before you even realized. I planned for and cared about your baby long before you started thinking of adding to your family. I worried about your future with that puppy before you knew there would be one.
There were hours upon hours spent researching lines for the parents of your puppies. Going over breeder after breeder, choosing not only my pet but looking for a dog that will make you your pet. Worrying if you'd be happy, if I had chosen correctly and your puppy would grow up healthy and happy.

Going over puppy after puppy with fellow breeders, running over my program with as many knowledgeable breeders as I can, determined to not miss anything. Tracing lines back as far as I could, learning the ins and outs not only for my knowledge but so that I was informed, prepared to go over every detail with you, to answer the questions that sometimes you don't even ask.
Then there's years of watching your puppies parents grow. Loving them and enjoying them as part of my family. Taking them every where I can, training them, socializing them, watching how they fill out.

Asking myself I had made the right choice in both of them. Scrutinizing their conformation, how they move, and their temperament. There was the stress of health testing. Praying not only that my babies were healthy but that they had the genes to make your baby healthy.

Finally came the time to put your puppies parents together. For the next 63 days I worried, I obsessed, I grew excited. I watched your puppies mom like a hawk. Making sure my baby was ok, monitoring her diet better than I do my own. Concerned that she was getting enough of the right nutrients and that your growing baby was getting the best start possible. I spent hours on the couch, floor, and dog bed with her watching her tummy grow and anxiously waiting.

As your baby and mine grew I laid my hands on her tummy and felt the first movements of your puppy. As the time grew close I spent most nights in the nursery with her. Making sure she didn't go into labor without me knowing, in case something went wrong and one of our babies needed help. When labor started my whole life stopped. I spent every second with her.

Your baby was born into my hands and I held my breath as I cleaned them up, watching for movement and breathing, cleaning them up, checking them over, and wondering if you'd love them as much as I already did. I helped your babies brother when mom got tired and he was stuck. I cried when your babies sister didn't make it.

For the first 8 weeks most of my life was filled with your baby. Watching them grow and making sure I was doing everything possible to make sure they started their lives the right way. Making sure each one was getting enough to eat, enough socialization time, that they were de-wormed and given their shots. I was the first person they saw when they opened their eyes. I spent my weeks playing with them and keeping them safe.

I searched for you and interviewed you. As you spoke I tried to read your character. Would you love them as much as I do? Would you bring them in as part of your family? Would you care for this tiny life that I brought into this world that I am responsible for? Some of you were turned away but some of you were welcomed into our family. The day you took your baby home was harder than I'd ever let on. I was excited for you but I was also terrified. Had I chosen correctly? Were you who you seemed to be?

My love and worry didn't end there. I thought about your baby regularly, saddened when I didn't get updates, ecstatic when I did. I hoped you were caring for your baby the way I care for mine. I answered your questions happily and answered them again just as happily to your babies siblings new parents. When your puppies sister ate a couch I stayed up that night she was at the vets, waiting to hear that she was ok. When their brothers parents decided he no longer fit in their life I welcomed him home, sorry that I had chosen wrong for him and promised him it wouldn't happen again.
I loved your baby first and I will never stop."❤️
