Welcome my little snowflakes ❄️

It’s been awhile since I had Zeke babies in my home. Everyone always comes to me who uses him and talks about how wonderful their puppies are, and although, I am so happy others can experience how truly great Zeke is, but I do get a little sad each time because I never have any of my own. It’s been over a year now, but here we are!! And of course I’m just absolutely head over heels for them ❤️❤️

Introducing the Charlie Brown Crew!

We’re excited to welcome a long-awaited litter from an exceptional lineage! Creed and Darcy have some of the best temperaments we’ve ever seen in a dog, and they definitely pass those fantastic traits down to their pups. I now have great-grandpups from Darcy, and they are absolutely amazing too.

True to their namesake, these little ones are sure to be full of character, personality, and a touch of mischief. I genuinely believe they will bring joy and resilience to their new families. I couldn’t have imagined a better pairing!

Since the loss of our sweet Van, we’ve been heartbroken and have had to put many of our plans on hold. Van was truly one of a kind.. beautiful, soulful, soft, and unique. He had everything we hoped for in our puppies. Fortunately, we were able to bring back Van’s full brother, Creed, whom we had placed with another program after becoming co-owners of Van. It felt like part of a bigger plan, so we decided to bring Darcy out of retirement, hoping to create a little Van lookalike. Darcy certainly kept us on our toes.. one, then two, then three, four, five, six, seven, and then eight puppies. But there was no Van in this litter, and we was devastated and heartbroken. While we adore our new sweet babies, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had let myself down by not achieving that perfect pairing to recreate Van’s line using direct relation to Van, especially since this is Darcy’s retirement litter. At almost five years old and with just three litters, she has given us the most beautiful puppies. So we knew this was it..

After hours passed, we accepted that she was done with her labor. Even though we were upset, we were still happy for her and so inlove with the new babies, but When I opened the door to let her back in with her puppies, she walked up to me with a precious tiny red puppy in her mouth. My heart skipped a beat, and tears filled my eyes. I turned him over, and there he was… my precious little boy ❤️

🐾 Educational Post: When “Stubbed Toes” Aren’t What They Seem 🐾

Over the last week or so, I’ve had a few pups acting like they stubbed a toe. You know the look limping around pitifully while mom scoops them up for extra snuggles. Ready to run to take them to the vet I thought, “Okay, these little masterminds just want one on-one time with mom.” Because crazy enough, by the next day, they were totally fine!

Then it happened again and again. One day it’s the left front foot, the next day another pup, and by morning everyone’s back to normal. I started thinking: What are the chances they’re all just “stubbing toes”?
Is it the play yard?
Are they playing too rough?
Am I missing something?

As a long-time breeder, I’m a note-taker. I write down every little odd thing in my breeder notebook that notebook has helped me and others solve more mysteries than I can count. So there I was, flipping through pages, overthinking like I always do, and finally decided to research this pattern.

To my surprise, I found something that made everything click …..too much calcium, phosphorus, and protein in young, rapidly growing pups (5–18 weeks old) can cause growing pains, It’s common in large-breed puppies and can look exactly like what I was seeing a puppy limping one day and perfectly fine the next.

And here’s the kicker: I’ve always fed Victor Active Dog & Puppy — which is a great food, but it’s an all-life-stages formula, not a true large-breed puppy formula. Add in the Nupro supplements, and suddenly, the pups were getting more calcium and protein than they needed for their growing bones.

We will be making the switch to a large-breed puppy food to hopefully balance out calcium and phosphorus and help slow that rapid growth a bit.

Now, I don’t know for sure if this is the issue my guys play pretty hard, not to mention Crown seems to be half grown and could be stepping on these guys 😂 she goes home tomorrow . You would think im feeding her Miracle Grow she is definitely the biggest pup i ever seen ….and it could still just be roughhousing but it’s worth trying to see if I’m onto something. Even if it just helps slow these little wild Indians down and keeps their joints comfortable, that’s a win in my book!

Sometimes, even when you’ve been breeding for years, you learn something new that helps your puppies and that’s what makes this so rewarding. 💛

If you’ve ever had pups go “ouchy foot” one day and totally fine the next — it might not be playtime gone wrong. It could just be their bones growing faster than they should And yes I fully admit it I’m a helicopter dog mom! 🩷 I’m always watching for any little sign that something might be off. But on the bright side, that just means your puppy is always in good hands and getting the very best care possible.

I also want to make note, had I showed up to a place, here’s a great example. For all of you who know X, I was aiming to breed him to Hollis. When I seen that dog in his condition I knew there was nooooo way that mess was touching my dog. If my dogs are in such horrible condition. Why would she allow him to breed her? Make it make sense. Sure my puppies wasn’t FRESH cleaned. Still aren’t, they p**p. That’s what they do. But they was not/are not and will never lay in their own filth. My puppies areas are cleaned. Every. Single. Night.
