Happy National Dog Day! Here are a few of thousands of photos of our dogs. We'd love for you to share your good boys and girls in the comments!

So far, so good!

Big thanks to Huntsville Veterinary Clinic for being so accommodating. Pretty sure we've kept them on their toes with all of our crew since we've started seeing them after we moved here and they've been wonderful! They run an extremely busy practice and always make time for us when we've needed them 🐾

Happening in Rogers, Arkansas, this weekend for anyone interested. I'm sure the club would appreciate your attendance and support. I had intentions of getting more involved with it when it was first established, but then I got pregnant and had two kids and moved, etc. I still hope to eventually.

Nova's lone survivor is doing alright so far. Hopefully she continues to thrive. Nova was having green discharge before active labor and that's a bad sign, so we ended up doing a c-section. We had confirmed on Saturday that she was pregnant and only had two in there, but only this little girl survived. Me and the vet's wife spent a long time suctioning fluid and massaging this one to get her breathing well. I am a little surprised I even got to bring either of the pups home. Nova never has had a litter so hopefully mothering comes naturally. Thankfully, she did get her health clearances all done already, though. I really had planned to breed her with Huck next year for her first litter.

Oakley definitely stunned us with this one because he hasn't produced any puppies in at least four years! We didn't have this one planned at all. Old man still aspires to be the stud he once was at nearly 13 years old 😆

Decided I better go through the dog stuff after we moved to locate and clean some puppy collars and make sure we have enough for when they are old enough. I found just a few 😆

Did you know we can fly puppies on American Airlines in the cabin with us? We have done this when we went to get both Banner and Siri from their breeders and have also met up with a couple of puppy owners with their puppies at nearby airports to fly them back to their new homes. Because my husband works for American Airlines, some flights are cheaper for us to make from our local XNA airport, and there are direct flights to Dallas, Charlotte, Atlanta, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and NYC. Layovers to other airports are possible but not always ideal. If anyone getting one of our puppies would like us to arrange to fly the puppy to them, we can possibly make it happen. You can also arrange your own flight to come get your pup and we can meet you at the airport. 🐾✈️

An email was sent to our waiting list today regarding available puppies in both litters. (I tried not to send it to those that had already paid deposits.) If you were hoping to hear back from us, check your emails. I had a few kicked back to me because the email addresses on some applications weren't typed in right or the email accounts were no longer active. We currently have availability on females in the Siri x Ronan litter and males in the Savvy x Theodore litter.

Here are some photos of Savvy's sire, R***r, that I acquired from his owner when we were looking to breed him with Fluff, as well as some I took of him. At the time, he had an Upland Hunter (UH) title, Hunting Retriever Champion (HRCH), and working certificate excellent (WCX).

As I'm trying to share some info and photos about our current litters' grandparents and such, I figured the easiest way to share Savvy's dam is to provide this link of Fluff from our website:

This is the program I am going to be attempting to follow. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to keep up with every little thing in here, but I love the success breeders and owners experience with this so we try to at least do some of it. I have access to their videos that are really informative as well.
