Too well written not to post…

The purchase of a well bred purebred did not sentence another dog to death.
The purchase of a well bred purebred did not cause an increase in the number of dogs in shelter.
Someone wanting a dog with a predictable temperament from healthy lineage did not cause another dog to not get adopted.
Someone's meticulous research and support of only the most responsible of breeders is not the problem. It is not what you should be mad at. It is not what you should be pushing the blame onto.
I am not the one who brought these dogs into the world irresponsibly and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders are not the ones who put dogs into shelters either.
It is my home, my life, and my choice of what kind of dog to bring into it. Maybe I needed a working dog, a sport dog, or simply a companion puppy to raise of a breed I enjoy. No matter the reason, the choice to support a reputable breeder did not send a shelter dog to its death.
A breeder who health tests, temperament tests, studies pedigrees, proves a dog worthy of being bred, and only breeds when doing so is of benefit to the breed is not contributing to the number of homeless dogs.
The number of homeless dogs in the world is a problem, but it is not a problem exacerbated by reputable breeders and those who purchase from them.
Your neighbor down the street who refuses to contain his unaltered dogs IS contributing to the problem.
Your friend who impulse bought a dog at Pet Land IS contributing to the problem.
That guy on Craigslist pumping out the trendiest designer mix as fast as he can IS contributing to the problem.
Your relative who just HAS to let their dog have one litter “so she can experience motherhood” or because “she’s just so sweet” IS contributing to the problem.
Your old high school classmate who bought a high energy working breed without taking the time to research its needs and realize it was not a good fit for their household ahead of time IS contributing to the problem.
A reputable breeder offers their lifelong support. A reputable breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter to begin with. A reputable breeder makes it a contractual obligation to return dogs they have produced back to them should you find yourself unable of keeping it.
It is understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but if you take a deeper look, you will find your anger is misplaced.
If you take a deeper look, you will find reputable breeders and those of us who purchase from them are just as angry, we are just pointing fingers at the right causes.
In conclusion, Blaming responsible breeders for shelter dogs is like blaming Harvard graduates for crack babies.

We have decided to call purple girl Millie. We do not plan to keep her, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t need a temporary name. She is 👀 for her ♾️🏡. Don’t let this sweet girl slip away. Both parents have OFA Good Hips!

Pupdate of Orange Collar Girl who is now Ellie. She is settling in nicely. She has been with her new family for a week. This is their second puppy from us.

Peaceful Prayers Wanna Rassle?

She is named after who? Any guesses?

This is Bear. His loving family in Texas will get to love him forever on Sunday. He is in a pen next to his sister Claire. As you can see, he put himself to bed. I will be personally hand delivering him to his new parents. I do this because I love seeing his new family so happy

This is Claire. She is now preparing for her new family in South Carolina. At night, the pups who are going home start their separation training. They go into their own pens at night and for naps. This makes the transition easier on the pup. For her nap today she was sleeping in her crate.

He is a looker for sure. This is Teal Collar boy. He is Purple’s brother. He is a handsome boy with so much love to give. He is also wanting a wonderful pet home to call his own. He is 12 weeks and comes from beautiful parents.

Look at this sweet darling girl. This is purple collar female. I was going to keep her, but she is a little small for showing. She has such a sweet personality. She has started crate and is pad trained. We are working on potty training. She is wanting a loving pet home. She is 12 weeks old. Both parents are titled champions and have their CHIC and clear on DNA. Who is gonna be the lucky one to sn**ch her up?

Let me tell you ...

Being a responsible breeder is not a hobby. It is not a side hustle. It is a life commitment—one that requires deep sacrifice, unwavering dedication, and a heart that beats for the dogs we bring into this world.

Are you willing to sacrifice your sleep? To wake up every two hours, ensuring that fragile newborns are nursing, warm, and safe? To sit on the whelping room floor at 3 AM, eyes heavy, heart racing, because a puppy is struggling, and you know they are depending on you?

Are you willing to sacrifice your rest? To always be on alert, watching, listening, and knowing that even a single missed sign could mean life or death? To spend your days and nights tending to a mother who needs you just as much as her puppies do?

Are you willing to trade your vacation time for whelping a litter? To cancel plans, miss holidays, and stay behind while others travel because your priority is your dogs, and you would never leave them in someone else’s care during such a critical time?

Are you willing to spend thousands—not on luxuries, not on fleeting pleasures, but on progesterone testing, emergency C-sections, stud fees, health clearances, and genetic testing—because you refuse to cut corners and compromise the integrity of your breeding program?

Are you willing to take your puppy back, no matter what, no matter when—whether it’s a week, a year, or a decade later—even when your home is full, because you made a lifelong commitment to them?

Are you willing to pay thousands in vet bills, without hesitation, to make a puppy whole? To fight for them, to advocate for them, to give them the best shot at life, no matter the cost?

Are you willing to spend more than you make to enforce a breached contract? To fight for the well-being of a dog you bred, even when it’s exhausting, frustrating, and financially draining—because ethics matter, and your dogs deserve better?

Are you willing to do all you can for every single puppy you bring into this world, even when it means sacrificing your own comfort, time, and peace?

If you do, then you are doing it right. If you do, then you are not just a breeder—you are a guardian, a protector, a steward of your breed.

And if you do, pass the torch only to those who will carry it with the same devotion, integrity, and heart. Because this is not for everyone. But for those who choose this path, it is everything.

It is important to split litters up. This allows for them to prepare to be without one another when they go to their new homes. This decreased separation anxiety. I do have set up a play area where they will be able to play with one another all at once

Crate training going well. They have been in there for about 20 mins
