🐾With heavy hearts, we share the news that Ayla's pregnancy this time around did not take. We understand the anticipation surrounding our eagerly awaited litter and we share in your disappointment.

However, we remain hopeful as we prepare for Ayla's final litter, planned for this fall/winter 2024. 🐾

03/18/2024

We progesterone tested Ayla on Thursday 3/14 and our vet recommended to breed Ayla Friday and Saturday. So off she went to Tennessee to meet with Worf! We will know if Ayla is pregnant in 30 days, April 15th!

We are so excited to see if she is growing future service dogs over the next 30 days!

03/08/2024

Ayla is officially in heat!

Ayla will be traveling to Tennessee to breed to this incredibly handsome stud. Our next litter will be focused towards producing Service Dog prospects and family companion dogs! Both parents are Health Tested through OFA/PennHIP Embark & Wisdom.

Royalair’s LT CMDR Worf is out of similar bloodlines as our big GSD, Royalair’s Saber Tooth Tiger. The temperament and biddablity of these dogs make for excellent service dog candidates, specifically mobility, item retrieval, and medical alert.

If we have a successful breeding, puppies should be expected mid/late May and be ready to head to their new handlers by mid/end July!

We will be starting our waiting list once we have a successful breeding!

🎓✨PROUD MOM MOMENT!!! ✨🎓

Over the last couple weeks I have been working on teaching Saber to “Fetch” items as part of Service Dog task work, item retrieval. This morning he was able to bring my coffee to me, in bed!!! 🙌🏻👏🐕‍🦺

While Saber is not a Service Dog, we hope to produce puppies in the future that will be ideal candidates for service work such as (Mobility & Stability, Psychiatric, Medical Alert ect).

I love this giant German Shepherd/Sun Bear Mix 😂

🐾🐶Pack walks and puppy socialization are not just recreational activities; they are essential components of responsible dog ownership!

By incorporating these practices into our routine, we provide our puppies with the necessary tools to thrive in the human world. Let's prioritize the social and emotional well-being of our dog-friends by giving them the gift of positive experiences and exposure from an early age!

The Importance of Pack Walks:

•Socialization: Pack walks expose dogs to various stimuli, including different environments, people, and other canines. This exposure helps them become familiar with the world around them, reducing fear and anxiety in new situations.

•Behavioral Development: Walking in a group mimics natural pack dynamics, teaching dogs valuable social cues and manners. They learn to navigate interactions with other dogs, enhancing their communication skills and emotional intelligence.

•Bonding: Walking together strengthens the bond between dog and owner. It establishes trust and reinforces leadership, as dogs look to their owners for guidance and direction during the walk.

•Mental Stimulation: Pack walks provide mental stimulation through sensory experiences and environmental enrichment. Dogs engage their senses, such as sight, smell, and hearing, which is essential for their cognitive development.

🐕 This evening we went to the Wiregrass Outdoor Mall for puppy training! 🐩

We worked with German Shepherd puppies, Toothless, Sriracha, and Bagheera, along with Standard Poodle puppy, Cookie!

We experienced a small moving train, lots of foot traffic, a water fountain, and a repetitive airhorn! We are so proud of these puppies! They displayed fantastic focus, obedience skills, and confidence in new surroundings! 👏👏🐺🐩
