Happy Valentine’s Day from our Rosie x Dave litter! Today, this wild bunch is officially 7 weeks old! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone with them. This next week is “cram” week making sure we get all of the final puppy raising experiences and scheduling our final visitors.

This coming week the puppies will be getting their official Volhard temperament test from a trainer outside of our kennel. They will be making a little”road trip” to Nashville for their BAER hearing test and of course their final vet for their microchips, check ups, and traveling health certificate.

At this time we still have one female seeking placement. We will post once she finds suitable placement.

We are very excited to be sending these puppies onto their new journey soon, but we will miss them!

Miss Belle was our original pick from the litter and due to no fault of her own we have decided to keep back a different female from the Rosie x Dave breeding.

Miss Belle is a very sweet and goofy but engaging puppy. As she matures she is showing some nice independence and willingness to explore on her own but also a good balance of handler orientation. She is showing some good food and try drives.

It is anticipated that Belle will be a smaller female built more like Rosie when she matures. Those legs are starting to get taller though! A weight of around 30-35 lbs and maybe 17 at the withers (this is an estimate).

She is showing a very nice balance of independence and handler orientation. This little girl is also showing to be very tolerant and not very pushy with her littermates.

I cannot believe this girl hasn’t been swooped up yet! She is available to sport or approved active pet homes.

Seeking suitable placement
Available to sport or the right active pet home

Miss Belle was our original pick from the litter and after evaluating some structure we have decided to keep a different puppy back for our program.

Miss Belle is a very sweet and goofy but engaging puppy. She did well during her ENS and LOVED the early scent introduction. One of our factors to considering her a keep for our program was her love for all smells she was introduced to, including HRD (for SAR work).

It is anticipated that Belle will be a smaller and shorter female built more like Rosie when we matures. A weight of around 30-35 lbs and maybe 17 at the withers (this is an estimate).

She is showing a very nice balance of independence and handler orientation. This little girl is also showing to be very tolerant and not very pushy with her littermates.

Belle is currently almost 6 weeks old and will be ready to go home February 21st at the earliest (8 weeks old). We are located in Tennessee. Please message to inquire for this girl. She is something special and I wish we had room to keep two little girls.

The Rosie x Dave litter is 4 weeks old today 😍
The time is going by so quickly raising these little guys! We still have one female available for placement.

01/19/2025

EDIT/ placed

As of right now we have one blue male (Sully) open for reservation We have had TONS of interested parties but we are struggling with placements falling through or not finding the right folks.

Sully- (PLACED!)
This male is only available to an active working or performance home. This guy is likely going to be a larger dog with beautiful structure. He has quite the personality. He scored very well on his early scent introduction and was very active during the early neurological stimulation. He has tackled escaping the whelping box. He has a wide open personality but does enjoy a good snuggle when he is tired. If he’s not tired he’ll let you know. He has lots of interest in the new items in the whelping box and is usually the first to explore.

Elsa-
This girl is also available to an active sport home . I believe she will have a more athletic build and be mid range in side. This girl is pretty feisty and enjoys exploring. So far she is showing a nice balance of independence and handler awareness. She scores well on her ESI and her ENS was on par to some of our other wonderful sport dogs we’ve produced in the past.

Message to inquire!

Without further ado we’d like to formally introduce our Disney litter. These guys will be two weeks old tomorrow and we are blessed to have interviewed so many folks. At this time we still have males and females available. We are anticipating these guys to be super versatile dogs with nice hunt, herding prospects, and good food / toy drives.

They only have a few more days of early neurological stimulations and early scent introduction. So far they have smelled: moose hide, sage, coffee, cats, rats, tea, sugar cookie, leaves, popcorn, HRD, and antler. We will be introducing them to wool, metal, and wood for the remaining days.

As we move into this next phase of learning we will be adding different toys, sounds, and textures into their whelping box. We will be beginning safe visits from approved people and begin potty training (litter box method). Honestly, there’s so much puppy raising activities to list!

If you are looking for your next dog message us to inquire. These guys are going to be unstoppable!

Happy birthday to our Annie x Swanson litter! These three girls have been so much fun watching grow up.

June Bug has had a wonderful year learning all about NASDA nose work, disc, and exploring so many new opportunities.

Zenya (formally known as Eleven) has adjusted to her life in Canada and has also had a big year! She’s achieved many new titles and has big plans to compete in several obedience, nose work, and agility venues later in the year.

Weebey has had another wonderful year exploring the great big world out there. No stone unturned, no math not taken, no river not swam in.

Here’s to another successfully and fulfilling year for these girls 🩵

We welcomed 5 Rosie x Dave babies into the world last night! Rosie is doing well and is a great mom. There are 3 females (blue) and 2 males (one blue one red). At this time we have 1 female and 2 males available for reservation.

Message to inquire if you and your family would be a good fit for this litter! This litter is anticipated to be very versatile and athletic. They will be going to their new homes the week of February 21st.
